In a recent documentary released on Tubi, titled The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs, Ray J claimed that several high-profile figures approached him, expressing concern over their ties to Sean “Diddy” Combs and the possible consequences of these associations. According to Ray J, these individuals contacted alleged victims and offered them financial compensation in hopes of preventing any public exposure.
In this documentary produced by TMZ, Ray J explains that some celebrities are getting ahead of themselves by offering out-of-court settlements to prevent new allegations from being made public. Ray J’s palpable unease during his testimony underscores the sensitivity of the situation, hesitating to reveal too much information while discussing the pressures of handling this matter in the shadows.

Discreet steps to avoid public prosecution
Lawyer Tony Buzbee, also interviewed in the documentary, revealed that he sent letters to several influential figures, suggesting that they settle their differences amicably to avoid public legal action. The moves appear to be part of a broader effort to resolve potentially embarrassing claims privately, in order to protect the public image of the celebrities involved.

In October, Buzbee previously informed TMZ that his firm represented more than 120 people who filed complaints against Diddy, noting that many of them preferred confidential solutions to preserve their anonymity and avoid a media settlement. He clarified that, in these situations, the objective was to protect the interests of the victims, without having to go through a public legal procedure.

In this context of discreet regulations, Buzbee also insisted that many people would have witnessed inappropriate behavior without intervening. According to him, these individuals are now themselves exposed, because their passivity or complicity would have contributed to the concealment of the incriminating events.
Diddy, after his arrest, faces serious charges: those of having orchestrated prolonged gatherings, often fueled by drugs, where the participation of others was allegedly forced. These practices allegedly took place over more than a decade, a pattern that is now the focus of several investigations and testimony.
