Diddy’s Lawyer Responds To Multi-Home Raid Amid Sex Trafficking Allegations
HuffPost
Federal agents raided the producer's homes in Miami and Los Angeles Monday following numerous allegations of violence, sexual abuse and sex trafficking.
Sean “Diddy” Combs responded after federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security raided his properties in Miami and Los Angeles on Monday following multiple allegations of violence and sexual abuse against the Bad Boy Records founder.
“[T]here was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” his attorney Aaron Dyer told E! News in a statement Tuesday. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities.”
“This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits,” added Dyer.
The simultaneous raids in Star Island on Miami Beach and in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles were captured in progress by news helicopters and showed no signs of Combs, who “spoke to and cooperated with authorities,” according to Dyer.
A rep for the Department of Homeland Security’s investigation division told HuffPost in a statement Monday that the raids were “part of an ongoing investigation.” Combs has been accused of violence and sexual abuse by at least four people since late 2023.
