Sean "Diddy" Combs is at the center of new allegations that he orchestrated wild "Freak Off" sex parties coinciding with major entertainment events like the MTV Video Music Awards and the Super Bowl to ensure attendance by A-list celebrities. Documents and videos have surfaced painting a disturbing picture of the music mogul's alleged activities, as he awaits trial on serious charges including sex trafficking.
One significant event mentioned in the allegations is an after-party following the MTV VMAs on August 29, 2005. Combs, who hosted the awards that year, threw an exclusive bash attended by celebrities such as Eva Longoria, Paris Hilton, Fergie, Jeff Gordon, and Ice-T. As the night progressed, the party moved from the Inside at Space nightclub to Diddy's Miami mansion. According to videos and documents reviewed by media outlets, the gathering allegedly transformed into a raucous sex party.
Footage reportedly shows Combs amid a group of young men and women in various states of undress, engaging in explicit activities. In one clip, two men are seen having sex with a young woman who appears to have white powder under her nose, with Diddy visible in the background wearing the same attire from earlier that evening. There is no indication that the celebrity guests were aware of or involved in these alleged activities.
Similar patterns are alleged following other major events. After the 2005 Super Bowl in Jacksonville, where Combs hosted a star-studded gala featuring Ashton Kutcher and Ashlee Simpson, the party purportedly moved to a rented mansion. Videos from that night allegedly show explicit encounters, including Diddy participating in some of the activities.
Federal prosecutors have charged Combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The indictment claims that he hosted drug-fueled sex parties, coercing victims to participate in days-long debaucheries where some required medical attention afterward. "These events, which Combs referred to as 'Freak Offs,' were elaborate sex performances that he arranged, directed, and often electronically recorded," the documents state.
Tony Buzbee, a Texas attorney, is representing approximately 120 individuals in civil lawsuits accusing Combs of various offenses. This week, Buzbee filed five new civil suits against the Bad Boy Records founder in the Southern District of New York. Despite multiple attempts by his legal team to secure his release, Combs remains detained at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, deemed a flight risk and potential danger to others. His trial is scheduled for May 5 of next year.
Combs's attorneys have firmly denied the allegations. "In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone-adult or minor, man or woman," they stated. They argue that the videos and claims are part of a smear campaign against the artist.
Federal agents reportedly raided two of Combs's properties in March, seizing hundreds of videos and a significant amount of alleged sex paraphernalia. Authorities are examining whether participants were coerced and if any laws were violated. A federal law enforcement source involved in the investigation told the New York Post, "Now our job is to determine whether this was consensual for everyone involved, if anyone has been trafficked, and what laws have been broken."
The allegations also include claims of Combs recording blackmail videos during these parties. "Combs threatened his victims," prosecutors allege, "including by threatening to expose the embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of 'Freak Offs' if the women did not comply with his demands."
As the legal proceedings unfold, the entertainment industry watches closely. The gravity of the charges and the emergence of explicit videos have cast a shadow over Combs's legacy. While no celebrity guests have been implicated in the alleged misconduct, the proximity of these events to major industry gatherings raises questions about what transpired behind closed doors.
