<p id=”par-1_42″>Rapper and mogul <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sean-diddy-combs/”>Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs</a> has been sitting in jail since his arrest in September 2024. After months of investigating, Diddy was arrested on allegations that include sex trafficking and racketeering, and his trial is set to begin in May 2025.</p>
<p id=”par-2_33″>Diddy has <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/model-warns-sean-diddy-combs-learned-chilling-behavior-claims-not-alone-manipulation-abuse.html/”>been accused of abuse</a> by a number of women, and court documents reveal that Diddy allegedly abused victims of his “freak off” parties, which took place mostly in the early 2000s.</p>

<p id=”par-3_67″>Back in 2023, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, accused the mogul of years of abuse during their relationship. Ultimately, Diddy settled with Cassie, but it started bringing Diddy’s behavior to light. In early 2024, footage was leaked that showed Diddy physically attacking Cassie in a hotel hallway. After further investigation, Diddy was arrested, and ever since, a number of women have come forward recounting their alleged abuse.</p>
<p id=”par-4_50″>According to <a href=”https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyvyll3d1r8o”>BBC</a>, court documents reveal that allegations against Diddy include physically abusing victims of his “freak off” parties, which mostly took place in the early 2000s. Diddy’s indictment alleges that Diddy “hit, kicked, [and] threw objects at victims” during his parties and forced them to be “obedient and compliant.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_36″>In 2023, Cassie’s lawsuit alleged that Diddy’s parties also involved the use of drugs like ketamine, cocaine, and ecstasy. Over the last year, other women have come forward accusing the rapper of rape or sexual misconduct.</p>
<p id=”par-6_28″>People who previously worked for Diddy also recounted his lavish parties, including one former staffer who claimed he <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sean-diddy-combs-spent-500000-mirrors-freak-off-party-insider-reveals.html/”>spent $500,000 per party</a> on things like mirrors and alcohol.</p>

<p id=”par-7_57″>Many people attended Diddy’s parties in the early 2000s, and those who didn’t wished at the time that they had scored a coveted invite — not anymore, though. In a new TMZ documentary, rapper Ray J revealed he’s heard that some celebrities are going as far as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ray-j-claims-celebrities-paying-sean-diddy-combs-victims-stay-quiet-said-too-much.html/”>trying to pay off victims</a> to not say their names.</p>
<p id=”par-8_77″>Other celebrities have been called out for not speaking up about Diddy’s parties, including Ashton Kutcher and Snoop Dogg. Suge Knight, who has spoken about Diddy from jail, says he thinks Diddy’s life could be “in danger” because celebrities might go to great lengths to try and stop Diddy from bringing them down. “You know the secrets of who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in,” Knight said of Diddy on his podcast.</p>
<p id=”par-9_21″>Diddy’s team has been petitioning for his release from prison until his trial starts, but so far, he remains in jail.</p>
