“I’m sure they are terrified”: Many Celebs in Music Industry Can Get Exposed as Diddy Decides to Fight in Court
- Industry A-listers worried and panicked after Sean Diddy's arrest.
- Entertainment lawyer says the ones who have remained silent and allowed Diddy's behavior should be concerned.
- Denzel Washington had once confronted the record producer at his party in 2003.
Sean Diddy Combs is a name that has been on everybody’s mind, especially after his arrest. The 14-page indictment that was unsealed later alleges that the record producer has been charged with racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking. The hip-hop artist has pleaded not guilty to all charges, but it was revealed on October 1, 2024, that 120 accusers would be filing a lawsuit against the artist on the count of s*xual misconduct that took place during the 2000s and 2010s.
Diddy Combs’ alleged behavior came under the spotlight after his former longtime partner Cassie Ventura decided to file a lawsuit against him in November 2023. Even though the two of them settled the lawsuit outside court, several other lawsuits against Combs followed, alleging s*xual assault. Combs’ bail has been denied twice, and his attorneys have stated that he is ready to fight to prove his innocence. This has disrupted the sleep of various celebrities in the industry who were somehow connected to the artist.
Sean Diddy Combs’ arrest has got industry A-listers worried
Grammy award-winning record producer Sean Diddy Combs was arrested on September 16, 2024. The 14-page indictment alleges that Diddy Combs’ annual Hampton parties were a place where women were dru**ed and forced to participate in extended s*xual performances that could last days at a time. The artist has denied all the accusations brought up against him and is on remand at the Special Housing Unit at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
Page Six, however, reports that industry insiders have claimed that some of the biggest names in the music industry are worried and in the panic zone as the artist has decided to fight his case. The publication reported that entertainment lawyer Bryan Freedman shared,
Many people at the highest level, including artists, executives, managers, and others, are not sleeping well right now. Those who have knowingly allowed and/or encouraged the behavior while remaining silent should be concerned. I represent several people who have been concerned about being wrongfully mentioned or rumored to be a part of this just by an association unreleased to any wrongdoing.
Freedman explained that various A-listers don’t want to be a part of some rumor mills because they have some tangential connection to Combs. A music industry insider has shared,
People who worked with Diddy very closely—I’m sure they’re terrified, and God knows what they were around.
According to Pedestrian, the statement comes after Houston attorney Tony Buzbee representing that 120 accusers against the artist shared during a press conference that to fight the case, many powerful people will be exposed. He added that they are going to expose the enablers who enabled the conduct behind closed doors.
Buzbee mentioned in the conference that they are going to name people other than Sean Combs who are involved in the situation, noting the list is long and their names are going to shock the public. Diddy’s attorneys have assured that they are going to fight for the truth and prove that the artist is not a criminal.
Denzel Washington confronted Sean Diddy Combs at a party in 2003
According to reports by US Weekly, Denzel Washington had once decided to confront Diddy Combs after an all-night party in 2003. The confrontation between the two ended with Washington walking out. An insider recalled,
Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone.’ He and his wife Pauletta had been partying until dawn with Diddy, and they had seen something and stormed out.
It is yet to be confirmed if the confrontation took place or not. But it can be said that various A-listers, including Jay-Z, Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé, Sarah Jessica Parker, and more, attended Diddy’s parties. Multiple sources have shared with US Weekly that the unsavory behavior took place at the infamous annual parties and things were different before 2 AM to what happened at 5 AM. A source shared,
Girls would start to lose their clothes—that was the signal for people to leave.
The 14-page indictment also mentioned that the artist would orchestrate Freak Offs, which were elaborated and produced s*x performances, and he’d not only mas***bate to them but also record them. Narcotics and more than 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant were seized from Diddy’s Miami and Beverly Hills homes in March.(via US Weekly).
