Recent reports reveal that some celebrities associated with Sean 'Diddy' Combs' controversial Freak Off parties are attempting to settle with victims to avoid being named in lawsuits.
Diddy, facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, was arrested in New York, with several A-list celebrities allegedly present or at least aware of these events.
Tony Buzbee, the attorney representing victims, confirmed to TMZ that he has sent demand letters to numerous high-profile individuals, urging them to disclose any information they have regarding Diddy’s parties in order to "resolve matters" privately.
Buzbee remarked, “If you were attending one of these parties […] and you attended before or you knew what was going to happen — that is, you knew that a particular drug was being used in drinks that were causing people to be coerced and taken advantage of — and you were there in the room or you participated or you watched it happen and didn’t say anything or you helped cover it up, in my view, you have a problem.”
Buzbee's approach aims to hold accountable those who were aware of or involved in the notorious parties, stating that these individuals cannot escape responsibility. As reported by Page Six, he hinted, “All of these individuals have exposure here. Who will be named when they will be named, all that will come out in due course.”
For those seeking to remain anonymous, Buzbee made it clear that they should settle with the victims. He explained, “In every single case, especially cases like this, we collect our data, collect our evidence, do our due diligence, spend time with the victim, and then because it’s in the best interest of the victim, we attempt to resolve these matters without the filing of a public lawsuit, and we have done that already.”

Buzbee further mentioned, “We’ve done that with a handful of individuals, many of which you’ve heard of before, and we’ll continue to do that.” For those unwilling to settle, their names will be revealed through public lawsuits. These updates emerge a month after Diddy's arrest, with his attorney stating that the mogul has pleaded not guilty and will not accept any plea deal, maintaining his innocence.
