00:00I was at one of P. Diddy's freak-offs.

00:03Freak-offs.

00:04You saw celebrities there that you recognized.

00:07Mm-hmm.

00:08They were a rapper that we all know.

00:11Straight-up porn directed by Diddy.

00:13I'm just grateful to have made it out.

00:15Well, Tony Busby has made quite a name for himself filing some huge lawsuits.

00:20Most recently, we told you about the more than 100.

00:25I think you said 120.

00:26Well, 120 clients.

00:27Probably more.

00:28Clients.

00:29He hasn't filed all the lawsuits, but he is sending demand letters out in the Diddy case,

00:33settling some, we're told, filing lawsuits for others.

00:37So he is the most active attorney going after Diddy civilly.

00:42Right.

00:43But now he finds himself as the defendant in a lawsuit from one of his former clients.

00:49So she was getting divorced.

00:52Tony Busby was representing her, according to the summons.

00:55And she says she was in a public place when Busby came upon her in the middle of representing her

01:04and went into a fit of rage, according to her,

01:09and shoved a champagne flute into her face and chipped her tooth.

01:15She says she has medical records and dental records to prove that this happened.

01:22And now the dogfight, because Tony Busby says this is all made up, he says.

01:27Yeah, yeah.

01:28Tony Busby is saying, look, this is crazy fiction.

01:31Like, really crazy.

01:32Like, ridiculously crazy.

01:33That was his comment to us.

01:36He says he chalks it up to being a target now that he's filing all these cases against Diddy accusers.

01:42He's like, they're filing extortion cases, and I'm going to become a target.

01:46This is fiction.

01:47He's going to fight it.

01:48The woman's suit also alleges malpractice, says she was represented by him in a divorce case,

01:53lost millions of dollars as a result of how he represented her in that case.

01:56So it will get interesting.

01:57He's going to have to defend this as he would any other lawsuit.

02:00She is also suing for malpractice.

02:02She says that.

02:03Because of those decisions that came in the divorce case.

02:06Because of the connection with the divorce case.

02:08And it's very technical and complicated.

02:10But basically she's saying she lost millions of dollars because of what he did or didn't do.

02:17So again, Tony Busby is saying BS.

02:20But what's happened is in New York you have to file a summons showing your intent to sue.

02:26And then 21 days later you actually file the formal lawsuit with all the particulars.

02:31So my name is Trey Brooks from Atlanta.

02:33This is crazy.

02:34It seems like a lot of drama follows Diddy no matter what side of the aisle he is.

02:37That said, it kind of seems like a coordinated attack.

02:39But to be fair, attorney Busby is representing 120 victims against Diddy.

02:44This may be an attempt to intimidate him.

02:45But you have to question the timing of the victim as well.

02:48But I just hope everyone gets justice in the end.

02:50Yeah, I mean look.

02:51You can never tell from a lawsuit.

02:53And I think it's important to say this.

02:55People can file lawsuits.

02:57And everything in it may be true.

02:59Some of it may be true.

03:01None of it may be true.

03:02And you have no idea.

03:04You can't make a judgment just by a lawsuit.

03:08You've got to hear the evidence.

03:10You've got to see what the response is.

03:12So the real way of reacting to this is we don't know.

03:17I'm serious.

03:18That's the way you react.

03:19I know.

03:20That's so unsatisfying for people.

03:22Because you want to jump to conclusions.

03:24And that's one of the problems.

03:25You can't automatically believe or disbelieve it.
