Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs hotline gets staggering 12K calls in just 24 hours, lawyer claims

nypost.com:

behalf of 120 alleged sex abuse victims claims a hotline he set up to deal with additional cases was inundated with a staggering 12,000 calls in roughly 24 hours.

Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee publicized the hotline earlier this week when he revealed a fresh wave of accusers — including one who was just 9 at the time — were planning to sue the embattled music mogul for alleged sexual abuse and exploitation.

Since then, the hotline has exploded with calls from people leveling similar complaints against Combs, the lawyer told Law&Crime in a Wednesday interview. “From the press conference we had yesterday, we’ve had 12,000 calls in about 24 hours,” Buzbee said. “So, our Herculean task is to try to sift through every one of these calls and make sure that we’re identifying those who are victims and those who are witnesses and collect evidence.”He added: “We have almost 100 people working on this task.”The attorney said his team was trying to ensure that the claims made by any additional alleged victims — on top of the 120 cases they’ve already identified — are airtight before taking further action. “The 120 that we announced yesterday, those are claims that we could file right now against Sean Combs, but we’re trying to make sure that when we file the cases … that we include every potentially liable party,” Buzbee told the outlet.The hotline revelation came after the lawyer told a press conference that the fresh wave of complaints by 120 accusers were allegedly split evenly by gender, spanned three decades and involved 25 minors — including one kid who was just 9 at the time.
