After Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ arrest at the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City in September, several jaw-dropping revelations made headlines.
One of the hot topics focused on the “freak offs” — which reportedly involved coerced sex acts — he hosted at his homes. Celebrities who attended the events refused to comment on the matter, including Ashton Kutcher. The Your Place or Mine actor previously said there was “a lot” he could not tell about his longtime pal and his parties.
In November, a woman named Tanea Wallace appeared on the documentary TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs and claimed there were minors at the parties. She recalled seeing people, many of whom appeared to be high on drugs or alcohol, having intercourse.
Combs’ attorney responded to Wallace’s claims, telling TMZ: “Ms. Tanea Wallace has no credibility, and her claims about ‘freak offs’ and minors are completely and categorically false. As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous. Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction.”
Federal agents said Combs had assistants, managers, and security personnel to coordinate with male and female prostitutes at events and hotel rooms filled with lubricant and baby oil. The setup had the same “freak off supplies” the authorities found during the bi-coastal raids on Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes.
A lawsuit filed on October 14 alleged the bottles of baby oil found in his properties were laced with Rohypnol or GHB, popularly known as a date rape drug. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claimed Combs used the freak offs “to commit heinous non-consensual acts of sexual violence and rape against countless victims.”
“Combs often would secretly use the drug in an alcoholic beverage served at his parties, typically in a seemingly innocent glass of champagne or a ‘lemon drop.’ Partygoers were forced to consume the alcoholic beverage containing GHB, either prior to entering or while at Combs’ party,” the lawsuit continued.
More accusations were disclosed following Combs’ September 16 arrest.
During an October press conference, attorney Tony Buzbee dropped shocking accusations, including the time Combs allegedly gave a 20-year-old girl a horse tranquilizer at one of his parties. Another individual was also told they would score a record deal if they followed the disgraced rap mogul.
Combs reportedly victimized more than 100 individuals, per the lawyer.
“‘Had he not been in power, I feel like I could have been something great. I quit the industry because of what Sean Combs did to me.’ That is really what it comes down to. We are pursuing this, asking you to support this effort, to encourage witnesses and victims to come forward, bring your evidence, so we can continue to break down this wall of silence. We can continue to have this story heard,” Buzbee stated, referring to some of the victims’ stories.
“This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the U.S. This should have never been allowed to go on for so long. If you’re one of those individuals, I ask you to reach out. If you’re someone who witnessed these events, I ask you to reach out,” he added.
