Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ infamous parties, known as “Freak Offs,” have recently come under intense scrutiny amid the rapper’s legal troubles. Following multiple allegations of s*xual assault and abuse, P Diddy was arrested in New York City on September 16 and subsequently charged with s*x trafficking and racketeering.
Although several female celebrities had previously tried to sound the alarm about the three-time Grammy-winning rapper’s controversial gatherings, their warnings fell on deaf ears. Ergo, here are four female celebrities who raised their voices against Diddy, alerting Hollywood to his troubling behavior long before his current legal issues.
Wendy Williams Warned Diddy’s Ex About His Behavior
Wendy Williams has always been one to speak her mind without mincing words. Nearly a decade ago, she raised red flags about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ troubling behavior, cautioning his then-girlfriend about his potential for abuse. What did she say back then?
A clip from The Wendy Williams Show has resurfaced following Diddy’s arrest, shedding light on her earlier warnings. In a 2015 episode, Williams addressed one of the rapper’s many breakups with his ex, Cassie Ventura.
During the discussion, she voiced serious concerns for Cassie’s well-being. Following their split, Cassie was reportedly trying to steer clear of Diddy, but Williams pointed out that avoiding a “mogul” like him would be no easy feat. She said:
You know, my thing about when you date a mogul, is, that it’s really difficult to avoid them because if you use your head, you never know when they’re going to pop up on the scene.
A 2016 video of Diddy laying hands on Ventura only poured fuel tothe fire of his already troubling reputation.
Jaguar Wright’s Bold Allegations Against Diddy
For years, singer Jaguar Wright has stood firm in her convictions, making serious accusations against Sean Combs in various interviews.
In one video interview (via USA Today), she revealed that she was labeled a “liar” and accused of harboring jealousy over Diddy’s success. However, Wright isn’t backing down; she continues to shine a light on what she perceives as a troubling pattern in Diddy’s personal life.
In her candid video interviews, Wright has pulled no punches, delving into Diddy’s past and relationships with women. One of her more explosive claims centers on Diddy’s family, particularly the tragic death of his mother (via YouTube).
“I do not think he’s insane; I think he might be struggling with a little buyer’s remorse,” Wright asserted, alluding to Diddy’s entrance into the entertainment industry. She elaborated:
He did buy into the game—that’s why he’s able to talk about his mom being sacrificed.
Wright didn’t stop there. She conducted her own research, uncovering troubling details about Diddy’s mother’s passing. “She died from the effects of plastic surgery,” she stated, emphasizing the questionable practices of her plastic surgeon, who had a history of malpractice issues.
His record was terrible; he had been sued. He couldn’t even get malpractice insurance for less than $10 million in some places.
While her claims may be met with skepticism, they serve as a stark reminder of the complexities and potential pitfalls that accompany a life in the limelight.
Diddy Allegedly Threatened Kimora Lee Simmons
Kimora Lee Simmons, 49, was featured in a New York Magazine profile while attending a benefit performance of The Owl and the Pussycat back in 2004. The interview references a prior incident where “Kimora said something to Combs, and he threatened to hit her.”
This wasn’t just a passing moment; it occurred when she was pregnant, leading her to exclaim:
The moron!
The situation escalated to the point where Diddy felt compelled to publicly apologize, going down on his knees to make amends. In the interview, it was noted that the singer, 54, “eventually went down on his knees in public to apologize.”Reflecting on her relationship with Diddy, Simmons expressed a complex view:
I respect him for being a fierce entrepreneur and I appreciate knowing that everything he does is emulating my husband.
At the time, she was married to Russell Simmons from 1998 to 2009.
In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Casandra Ventura was labeled “a victim of s*x trafficking.” The allegations are harrowing: she claimed she was beaten, pressured to use drugs, and forced by Diddy to engage in s*xual acts.
Ventura and Diddy were in an on-and-off relationship for 11 years before parting ways in 2018 (see PEOPLE).
Aubrey O’Day Reflects on Toxic Past with Diddy Amid Legal Turmoil
Aubrey O’Day has long been vocal about her experiences with Diddy, having first crossed paths with him when Danity Kane was formed in 2005 through his show Making the Band. After being dismissed from the group in 2008, she alleged on the podcast Call Her Daddy in 2022 that her exit was related to her refusal to comply with the rapper’s non-musical requests.
Just weeks before Diddy’s arrest, O’Day reflected on the profound “big shift” her life had taken. “At the end of last year when Cassie dropped her lawsuit, all of our lives changed forever,” she shared on the Off the Vine podcast (via US Magazine). She added:
I mean, they changed forever back then at the time as well.
When host Kaitlyn Bristowe asked if she had processed everything that had transpired, O’Day candidly replied that she was “nowhere near processing.It’s all still very ongoing,” she further explained:
Everything is. It’s very chaotic. It’s very emotional and stressful, and every day there’s a new little twist and turn. I can’t really talk about any of it right now.
While she remained tight-lipped about the specifics, O’Day clarified,
There’s an investigation going on right now. So like, if anyone were to be part of the investigation, they wouldn’t be allowed to speak about anything.
Reflecting on her departure from the show, O’Day described feeling “groomed” in a “toxic” environment. She added:
I was so young and so many things were put on me. I was fired on national television for being overly raunchy and promiscuous. That’s actually like wrongful termination. That’s a lawsuit against a lot of people.
When Bristowe inquired if O’Day could pursue legal action, she explained that it was complicated due to the statute of limitations. “At that time, I was never introduced to HR. I never knew where to go to tell anyone what was happening or express my feelings,” she said, highlighting the normalization of troubling behaviors in her industry.
O’Day expressed her desire to eventually share more of her story. “I don’t want to die with a bunch of secrets in me,” she remarked. As these allegations resurface and more stories come to light, the conversation around Diddy’s behavior and its impact on those around him continues to grow!
