00:03Amid her son's legal troubles, Janice Small Combs is speaking out on behalf of their family,

00:08claiming the charges against the music mogul have been blown out of proportion.

00:12Through her attorney, Natalie G. Figures, in a statement on her behalf to The Hollywood Reporter

00:17October 6, she says, quote,

00:18To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the

00:24opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human

00:29being, my son deserves to have his day in court to finally share his side and to prove his innocence.

00:35Janice's statement comes as Diddy remains behind bars following his September 16 arrest on charges

00:40of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

00:45Since then, 120 people have also come forward with new

00:49sexual assault allegations against the music producer.

00:52Attorney Tony Busbee, who's representing the 120 accusers,

00:56told reporters at an October 1 press conference per NBC News, quote,

01:01We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors.

01:05We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.

01:09During the press conference, Tony also stated that 25 of the accusers were minors at the time

01:14of the alleged incidents, adding that one accuser was allegedly just nine years old.

01:19Diddy's legal team denies the claims, releasing a statement to E! News shortly thereafter, saying,

01:24quote, As Mr. Combs's legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every

01:28meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr.

01:33Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim

01:38that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.

01:41She adds, he looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court

01:45if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based

01:48on evidence, not speculation. Diddy is next due in court October 9th.
