On November 18, 2024, an anonymous plaintiff, identified as John Doe, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against attorney Tony Buzbee and The Buzbee Law Firm, alleging an extortionate scheme. The suit claims that Buzbee threatened to publicly file fabricated allegations of sexual assault, including multiple instances of rape of minors, unless the plaintiff agreed to a financial settlement. These threats were reportedly conveyed through written demands, press statements, and social media posts, aiming to coerce the plaintiff into paying exorbitant sums to avoid reputational damage. Buzbee, known for representing numerous clients in high-profile cases, including those against Sean "Diddy" Combs, has denied the allegations, describing the lawsuit as frivolous and an attempt to intimidate him and his clients. He stated that his communications were standard legal practice and not extortionate. The lawsuit seeks damages for extortion and intentional infliction of emotional distress, highlighting the ethical and legal complexities surrounding aggressive legal tactics and the fine line between zealous representation and coercion.
