Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing a wave of serious allegations, including sexual abuse and exploitation, stemming from his extravagant "Freak-Off" parties hosted at his mansion in the early 2000s. Details of these events have emerged from a planner who worked with Combs, describing the lavish and explicit nature of these gatherings, which allegedly cost upwards of $500,000 each.
The planner, who requested anonymity, recounted to The New York Post that the parties were meticulously orchestrated, with no expense spared. "He was willing to pay as long as the answer was 'yes' to it being a great party," the planner said. The events featured high-end food, expensive alcohol, dancers, models, and even live animals. However, it was the room's unique decor that drew attention - hundreds of mirrors lined the walls and ceiling. "Everywhere you looked, you'd see yourself reflected again and again," she explained, adding that Combs intended for "everywhere you looked there would be sex happening."
The planner further stated that while she was responsible for organizing food, alcohol, and entertainment, she had no involvement in the sexual activities, which reportedly included "models" hired for the events. "It seemed obvious, at least to me, that they were actually sex workers," she noted. The events, often tied to major entertainment dates like the MTV Video Music Awards or the Super Bowl, allegedly escalated into multi-day orgies.
Combs, who has denied all allegations, is facing over 100 sexual abuse claims, including accusations that some of the victims were minors. Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee recently revealed that he represents 120 new accusers, among whom 25 claim to have been underage. In a statement, Buzbee asserted that some victims were promised fame and record deals, leveraging Combs' power over them. "Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claims that he sexually abused anyone, including minors," Combs' attorney, Erica Wolff, stated.
According to a report by TMZ, Sean “Diddy” Combs required attendees of his alleged “Freak Off” parties to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prohibited them from disclosing any information about him during his lifetime and for 20 years after his death.

The alleged abuse and parties have become the subject of a criminal investigation, with Combs currently in custody on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Federal officials raided two of Combs' residences in March, uncovering what they described as "a mountain" of sex paraphernalia, including hundreds of explicit videos and bottles of lubricants. Court documents allege that the "Freak-Offs" were highly orchestrated, often involving violence and coercion to ensure participation.
The allegations extend beyond Combs' private gatherings. Reports have emerged that some of the events were captured on video, purportedly showing Combs engaging in explicit acts. Videos, allegedly obtained by federal officials, depict scenes consistent with claims made in lawsuits filed against him.
While Combs maintains his innocence, asserting that any sexual encounters were consensual and involved adults, the allegations paint a starkly different picture. In court filings, prosecutors allege that the events served as elaborate showcases of sexual performances and that Combs used threats, violence, and narcotics to control and exploit participants. "To ensure participation in Freak-Offs, Combs used violence and intimidation," the documents claim, suggesting his control over victims extended to their personal and professional lives.
One of the most severe accusations involves an incident in which a woman claims to have been assaulted following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The new wave of allegations, including from individuals who were allegedly as young as nine at the time, has intensified the scrutiny surrounding Combs, who continues to deny any wrongdoing.
As these legal battles unfold, Combs' storied career as a music mogul and celebrity figure faces a stark reckoning. The mounting allegations against him have already led to a deep public and legal examination of his past behavior, with outcomes that could reshape his legacy and broader industry accountability standards. His legal team has vowed to challenge the claims and insists, "In court, the truth will prevail."
