<p id=”par-1_68″>Denzel Washington, like many celebrities, attended <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sean-diddy-combs/?swcfpc=1″>Sean “Diddy” Combs’</a> extravagant parties. People worked hard to get invites and snuck in if they had to. Though there was high demand to get in, some celebrities reportedly knew that it was <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/denzel-washington-screamed-diddy-left-party-seeing-source-alleged.html/”>best to leave early</a>. According to actor and comedian Brandon T. Jackson, Washington told him it was best to get out of Diddy’s parties before things took a turn.</p>

<p id=”par-2_26″>Jackson is one of many who scored an invite to Diddy’s parties. He admitted he attended but he always left early, following advice Washington gave him.</p>
<p id=”par-3_52″>“Denzel always told me, we be at the parties, you leave 30 minutes before the devil gets there. OK?” Jackson said in an <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNSDuaaBmKM” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>interview</a>. “When he would say that, I will always remember that Denzel would leave the parties early, and I followed Denzel out. I’m out. You see what I’m saying?”</p>

<p id=”par-4_16″>Jackson believed that this way, he could attend the parties and leave with his integrity intact. </p>
<p id=”par-5_52″>“Because when you leave 30 minutes before the devil get there — there ain’t nothing wrong with going to the parties, even Christ partied with the sinners, you know what I mean?” he said. “But when you leave 30 minutes before the devil get there, you are able to have your integrity.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_47″>According to a source who attended some of Diddy’s notorious bashes, many celebrities followed this advice. While <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/naming-celebrities-connection-sean-diddy-combs-case-will-create-firestorm-attorney-says.html/”>they still attended</a> the parties, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/celebrities-left-diddys-parties-avoid-happened-5-a-m-source-claimed.html/”>they left early</a>, before things took a turn. The parties often stretched to 7 in the morning; many celebrities left by 2 or 3 a.m.</p>
<p id=”par-7_21″>“Girls would start to lose their clothes — that was the signal for people to leave,” a source told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/what-celebs-really-knew-about-diddys-parties-and-what-happened-at-5am/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-8_15″>The source noted that the vibe of the parties shifted palpably after people cleared out.</p>
<p id=”par-9_17″>“What happened before 2 a.m. pales in comparison to what happened at 5 a.m.,” the source said.</p>

<p id=”par-10_25″>In 2002, Diddy said that one of his main priorities when hosting a party was getting as many women on the invite list as possible.</p>
<p id=”par-11_51″>“This is what you need to do,” Diddy said on <em>Late Night with Conan O’Brien</em>, per <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.vibe.com/news/entertainment/diddy-interview-party-locking-doors-early-2000s-resurfaces-1234925772/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vibe Magazine</a>. “Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies, of course … You need to give the ladies what they need, too. Take care of your women. You can’t force the situation.”</p>

So if you don’t have what they need, they gon’ leave. Gotta keep ’em there. You need <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/diddy-wanted-locks-doors-air-conditioning-kinky-parties.html/?swcfpc=1″>locks on the doors</a>… It’s a little kinky but, you know… rock with me.

It builds up a nice little sweat.”</p>
