This is just horrific…
During a press conference on Tuesday, attorney Tony Buzbee dropped several major bombshells. The Texas attorney is representing dozens of clients with allegations of “violent sexual assault or rape,” “facilitated sex with a controlled substance,” “dissemination of video recordings,” and “sexual abuse of minors” against Diddy. But it’s not just accusations against the 54-year-old music mogul. The suits will also name “many powerful people” involved in these heinous crimes, per the lawyer.
Last week, Buzbee Law Firm announced on Instagram they had 50+ victims, and the planned to file a lawsuit on their behalf. However, more bravely came forward, making the total number 120 now. Sadly, 25 of those accusers were minors. One of them was as young as 9 years old when Diddy and several others allegedly sexually abused him at a studio in New York City. Awful. But there’s more. Elsewhere in the press conference, Buzbee shared another shocking accusation against Diddy — about his methods.

The rapper allegedly drugged his victims with exotic drugs, not typical date rape stuff — including a horse tranquilizer. The attorney explained:
“You should know that several of the individuals — when I say several, I mean many — who did, in fact, seek medical treatment were drug tested, and drugs were found in their system. Weird drugs, drugs that you probably never heard of. One in particular that continues to pop up is a drug called Xylazine, or tranq, which based on our research, is known as a horse tranquilizer.”
OMG.
Buzbee went on to share one alleged incident in which the horse tranquilizer was used to drug a victim. According to the lawyer, a 20-year-old was invited to attend a party at a hotel with Diddy. She allegedly had “one drink” and has no memory of what happened afterward. Buzbee said:
“She was flattered, went to the party [and] was given one drink and doesn’t remember anything else. Ultimately [she] was so messed up [that she] went to the hospital, where they found cocaine and this horse tranquilizer in her blood system.”
Just sickening. Buzbee noted many of the victims’ accounts of what happened to them “involves some sort of drug” — and the horse tranquilizer seems to be the go-to. So when those lawsuits drop within the next 30 days, expect to see this drug’s name — Xylazine — pop up a lot. Watch the press conference (below):
