Mary J. Blige responded to rumors that she allegedly received a “demand letter” from Houston attorney Tony Buzbee.

Mary is currently promoting her Gratitude album. She made an appearance at “The Drew Barrymore Show” in New York City on Tuesday. Mary was fashionable in a western style outfit and boots by Fendi.

Buzbee is currently representing dozens of plaintiffs who allege that Sean Combs drugged and r*ped them decades ago.

Buzbee said he sent dozens of demand letters to celebrities who participated in Combs’ freak off parties.

In public statements, Buzbee claims anonymous celebrities have settled out of court.

A source says Mary J. Blige, 53, is among those celebrities who settled. But, according to a source, she denied settling, and she never received a demand letter from Buzbee.

The insider said Mary is “distressed” by the allegations that she forced herself on young men during the peak of her R&B recording career.

Former singer Danny Boy told “The Art of Dialogue” podcast that Mary seduced him when she was 24 and he was only 15.

He said the incident happened after the 1995 Source Awards in his hotel room.

Mary seemed to respond to the accusation in a post about lacking “boundaries” on her Instagram page back in March 2024.
