Corey Feldman calls Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegations “disgusting”
As the Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs case rages on, increasing numbers of people are sticking their heads above the parapet to give an opinion and join the conversation. The latest to do so is actor and musician Corey Feldman.
Feldman has a history of speaking up on issues surrounding child abuse, as he has been very open and honest about the alleged sexual abuse he endured as a child star in Hollywood. As such, he has shown support for the alleged victims and shared his hope that “justice will play out.”
Speaking with Christina Dugan-Ramirez of Fox News Digital about the numerous allegations Combs faces, Feld commented, “It’s disgusting, and it’s dogging and sickening and all of that! So, I’m really remorseful that anybody has had to go through it all and that these experiences have happened in the first place or continued to happen for so long.”
The Goonies and Stand By Me actor stated that he wants justice for the alleged victims if a crime has been committed, but also said Combs is yet to be convicted of any wrongdoing. Expressing this, he continued, “Ultimately, I’m glad that there is the peak of the iceberg, the tip of, you know, trying to get some justice. I can’t even say justice because, obviously, there hasn’t been a court process yet. We’re still waiting for that to happen.”
Feldman added: “But I, along with so many others, I’m sure, want to see the justice play out in the right way. And hopefully, nothing happens to him while he’s incarcerated, and we get some real answers.”
Combs was arrested in Manhattan on September 16th and has since been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. The mogul has yet to be tried, but if found guilty, the standard sentence attached is 15 years to life. He is set to plead guilyy
As further allegations continue to be filed by Tony Buzbee, Combs’ legal team, led by attorney Marc Agnifilo, continue to insist their client is not guilty. In a statement they recently released, the team asserted, “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
It continues, “That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
