Texas lawyer Anthony “Tony” Buzbee went viral after he filed a bombshell lawsuit on behalf of a woman accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z of assault, over two decades ago when she was 13-year-old. Now Tony is facing his own legal battles and has a shocking arrest skeleton in his closet.
Buzbee is now representing more than 120 clients claiming to have been sexually victimized by Diddy.
But Tony is no saint. The Houston lawyer was arrested in 2016 for DWI in the Lone Star State.
Records show the drunk driving charge was personally dismissed by the Harris County District Attorney’s office after Buzbee completed a one-year intervention program – in just eight months.
And more. Matthew Thompson, an ex-client, filed a federal lawsuit in Louisiana accusing Buzbee of cheating him out of money from a personal injury settlement.
But there’s more. In a new lawsuit filed on Thursday, Buzbee has also been accused of “deliberately giving a woman a sexually transmitted disease” and “hitting her so hard that he smashed her teeth.”
The former U.S. Marine, 56, was sued by his side piece who claims the beleaguered lawyer viciously shoved a champagne glass into her face and bungled her divorce case.
In the new lawsuit, which was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, it claimed back in 2018, Buzbee “lured” the alleged victim “into having a sexual encounter with him by concealing the fact he had a venereal disease.”
According to the documents: “Defendant knew of the risk that he would pass the disease to Plaintiff if he did not take the appropriate precautions, and when that risk materialized, he manipulated her to protect himself from reputational harm using his status as a licensed attorney.”
The victim, who was not named, claimed Buzbee offered her free legal services in return for silence and then allegedly “became possessive.”
The lawsuit then claimed Buzbee became “violent” after seeing the alleged victim talk to another man at a bar in New York City.
The victim claimed the lawyer smashed a glass against her face and “left her with two broken teeth.”
Buzbee then represented the alleged victim in her divorce case in 2021 “as a result of his manipulations.”
The lawsuit claimed Buzbee used the opportunity to “doctor Plaintiff’s medical records to make it look as if he could not have been the one who infected her with a venereal disease.”
According to the documents, the lawyer allegedly altered the date of the STD test results from 2018 to 2020.
Buzbee allegedly used the medical records to “blackmail” the husband to “circumvent ordinary negotiations.”
The lawyer settled for “a fraction” of what the alleged victim should have received in the divorce.
