Diddy Parties: Inside The Fallen Mogul’s Star-Studded Soirees, 1998-2010 (original) (raw)
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been arrested on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
This followed months of lawsuits accusing the mogul of various levels of abuse and assault, including one from ex-girlfriend Cassie, which prompted several others to come forward with allegations of their own. Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles homes were soon raided, resulting in authorities seizing enough evidence to move forward with his indictment. This evidence included weapons and recordings of Diddy’s alleged “freak off” parties, where, according to authorities, he would distribute drugs and force women to have days-long orgies with male commercial sex workers. Over 1000 bottles of baby oil and personal lubricant were also seized, and were said to have been used to stock hotel rooms for his “freak off” gatherings.
While the details of these particular parties has taken most by surprise, Puff has long been known for his more mainstream soirees, as well. Once considered the toast of New York City, Diddy was known for his lavish, star-studded gatherings that welcomed everyone from Anna Wintour, Ben Stiller, Lorne Michaels and Ivana Trump to Jay-Z, Derek Jeter, Denzel Washington and Pharrell Williams. Rumors swirled for years that his shindigs at times devolved into nefarious gatherings, with Marlon Wayans recently joking that he’d often leave Puff’s parties early due to what he’d heard about the after-hour activities.
For those seeking an inside look at Diddy’s biggest galas, check out these star-studded snaps from parties either thrown by, or for the disgraced mogul. These photos cover shindigs between 1998 and 2010, with another gallery chronicling his party habits from 2011 to the present.
Check out snaps from Puffy’s party past below.
