Sean 'Diddy' Combs is facing heightened legal challenges following the filing of seven new sexual abuse lawsuits. These civil suits, revealed on Sunday and Monday, have been lodged by four men and three women, with allegations dating back to 2000 and focusing mainly on incidents from 2022 in cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, according to lawyer Tony Buzbee.

The lawsuits add to Combs's legal woes, with accusations of sex trafficking and misconduct contributing to over two dozen pending civil cases against him. In response, Combs's legal team has denied any wrongdoing and requested a gag order to prevent his accusers and their lawyers from making public statements that could affect the fairness of his trial.

The Bad Boy label founder's criminal trial, facing charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, is set for May 2025. As the legal battles intensify, the accusers continue to press forward with claims of coercion and explicit misconduct against the music mogul.
