What Celebs Have Said About Diddy’s Infamous Parties: Ashton Kutcher, Khloe Kardashian and More

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous parties are being called into question amid the rapper’s legal troubles.

After facing several sexual assault and abuse allegations from multiple people, Diddy, 54, was arrested in New York City on September 16 and later charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. In his 14-page indictment, Diddy was accused of orchestrating parties known as “Freak Offs,” during which “elaborate and produced sex performances” would take place.

According to the indictment, Diddy allegedly forced women into engaging in “sex acts with male commercial sex workers” using drugs and would “[masturbate] during, and often electronically record” the interactions.

The indictment also revealed that Homeland Security discovered “various ‘Freak Off’ supplies” when they raided Diddy’s homes in March, including “narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.”

Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo claimed the musician was “innocent” in a statement after his arrest. Diddy was denied bail after pleading not guilty and was ordered to remain in jail until his trial.

While several celebrities have spoken out about attending Diddy’s parties, it is unknown who attended in his alleged “Freak Offs.”

Diddy previously suspected that his parties would raise eyebrows in a 1999 interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying, “They’re going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time. Whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. It’s a lot of people out there that feel intimidated by it.”

The Grammy winner also joked about his tactics for keeping women from ditching his get-togethers in a 2002 episode of Late Night With Conan O’Brien. When asked how to throw a “killer party,” he replied, “Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies, of course. You need some water. I don’t know if guys have noticed this but a lot of ladies drink water at parties, so if you don’t have what they need, they’re going to leave. Gotta keep them there. Need locks on the doors.”

When O’Brien said his suggestion about using locks sounded “kinda dangerous,” Diddy retorted by saying it was “a little kinky.”

Scroll down to see what celebrities have said about choosing to attend or skip parties hosted by Diddy over the years:

Ashton Kutcher

“I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,” Kutcher said when asked about attending Diddy’s get-togethers during a 2019 Hot Ones interview. “Can’t tell that one either. … I’m actually cycling through them. Diddy party stories, man, that was some weird memory lane thing.”

He went on to call his relationship with Diddy “really bizarre,” explaining, “It started over Punk’d because he was like, ‘Yo, you can’t punk me!’ I was like, ‘I don’t know what to tell you, everybody is on the table.’ That started our conversation. We became fast friends and we used to just hang out, watch football together.”

Ice Cube

The rapper clarified to fans that he had no affiliation with Diddy during a September 22 concert in Las Vegas. “Me and W.C. ain’t never been to a Diddy party,” he told attendees, per social media footage. “You ain’t gotta worry about us on those motherf—ing tapes.”

Kelly Ripa

During a June 2023 episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, Ripa expressed her interest in attending one of Diddy’s celebrity gatherings. “I was in Capri, and I was actually visiting my big brother Puff’s boat,” guest Mary J. Blige said. Ripa replied, “Next time you go on Puff’s boat, we’d like to!”

Damon Dash

“I didn’t go to those parties,” Dash said in a September 22 Instagram Live after photos resurfaced of him at a Diddy-hosted party with Jay-Z and Jennifer Lopez. “I went to one in the Hamptons about 20 years ago with Aaliyah and that’s about it. But a lot of people were at those, you know what I mean?”

He continued: “Ain’t s— happen in the Hamptons. That’s the day I met [Aaliyah]. We hung out there and then we left and that’s what happened. That was 20 years ago, that was not in L.A. or Miami. I know they’re gonna play games with those pictures. It’s all good, I don’t really care.” (Dash dated Aaliyah from 2000 until her death the following year.)

Khloé Kardashian

Kardashian seemingly shared details about attending a Diddy party in an August 2014 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “So who was with you this weekend?” Kourtney Kardashian asked Khloé about her weekend in Las Vegas.

“A bunch of my friends,” Khloé replied, listing names such as Diddy and French Montana.

Khloé continued to describe the party later in the episode, stating, “This party, I think half the people were butt-naked.”

Usher

“I went there to see the lifestyle, and I saw it, but I don’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild, it was crazy,” Usher recalled of living with Diddy for a year when he was a teenager in the ’90s during a 2016 The Howard Stern Show radio interview.

When asked whether he would let any of his kids attend one of Diddy’s parties, Usher declared, “Hell no!”

50 Cent

“I’ve been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing s— like that,” 50 Cent stated in a July interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve been staying out of that s— for years. It’s just an uncomfortable energy connected to it.”

He went on to add: “[Diddy] asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest s— in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman. And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f—ing with this weird energy or weird s—,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”

Ray J

During a September 20 interview on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show, Ray J claimed that he never witnessed any crimes or sex trafficking take place at Diddy’s parties. “We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are finding out, like, I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about and I never knew they existed,” he stated.

Katt Williams

“I’ve had to turn down $50 million four times. Just to protect my integrity and that virgin hole I was telling you about, right?” Williams remarked about turning down an offer to attend a Diddy party during a January interview on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast. “’Cause P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you got to tell him no. You got to tell him no! I did. See, I got the receipts for everything I’m telling you, that’s why I can say them so freely.”

At the time, he also teased that more celebrity scandals would soon come to light, adding, “It’s up for all of them. It don’t matter if it’s Diddy or whoever you is.”

Kendra Wilkinson

The Girl Next Door alum went to “one or two” of Diddy’s parties in their heyday.

“I had a great time in my youth. I didn’t really see anything,” Wilkinson said on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show in September 2024. “Like, I never saw anything really bad happening around me. Sex is sex, in my opinion. I’m not saying that something bad didn’t happen. I’m saying that nothing bad ever happened to me.”

Jenny Mollen

Mollen claimed in a September 2024 Instagram video that she turned down an invitation to one of Diddy’s parties years prior.

“One time when I was like 19, I was in San Diego and this guy came over and he’s like, ‘My boss wants to meet you,’” she alleged. “I had on this maroon button-up shirt, like, brick-colored, cotton button-up shirt, hideous jeans and a loafer. Not giving sex vibes.”

Mollen continued, “This guy’s like, ‘My boss wants to meet you,’ and he’s like this big bouncer-looking [man], who’s there in a fur coat kind of vibes. … He’s like, ‘We’re having a party up in my room, do you guys want to come?’ Guys, would I have been in a Freak Off? That’s what I’m reading, it’s called a Freak Off. Would I have been captured in his room in my hideous maroon shirt? Would there be footage to this day of me in some sort of crazy exploitative Freak Off?”

Arsenio Hall

During an October 2024 interview on Howie Mandel’s podcast, the comedian said he’d been to some Diddy parties — but not the kind referenced in the rapper’s indictment.

“Keep in mind, in all fairness, there are different kinds of Diddy parties. I’ve seen Diddy parties where children were there. … Let me start over. Where, say for instance, you use a person’s home and their family’s in the home, so it’s fun, 8 p.m., lots of food and music,” Hall explained. “That’s one of the ones I went to. Now I’ve also seen the ones that last longer than 8 or 9, and my secret has always been, first of all, I don’t go anywhere without my woman. I think, don’t go anywhere alone. I swear to you, if you have the rule of not going anywhere alone, you don’t get in as much trouble. … It’s when you go someplace alone and stay too long, that’s when trouble happens.”

The former talk show host added: “I’ve been to dinner parties at Diddy’s houses. I’ve never been to the ones that I know you’re hoping I can talk about.”

Nick Cannon

The Masked Singer host said in October 2024 that he’d been to Diddy’s parties but never saw any of the infamous “Freak Offs” mentioned in the indictment.

“I remember standing outside, you know, trying to get into a Puff party out here in New York,” Cannon recalled during an interview on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club. “Like, everybody was out. Like how the ‘One More Chance’ video looked, that was real, real stuff out here. Like, people standing at the door [to see] who can get in and stuff like that. Bad Boy parties was official in New York in the late ’90s.”

Cannon noted he’d gone to one party around age 16 or 17, adding: “Everybody gets scared to talk because they probably got something to hide. I ain’t got nothing to hide. … I was in there [in] Harlem shaking, doing all of that stuff, but it wasn’t — come on, whatever.”

Bow Wow

“I never thought I would see it like this,” the rapper said of Diddy during an October 2024 appearance on the “More to the Story” podcast. “He’s like the gatekeeper to the game, to the point to where BET Award weekend, like the past two, it just didn’t feel right because there was no motion, there was no parties.”

The former child star continued: “But it shows how monumental how important he was to the culture. I said, ‘Jermaine [Dupri], there was no parties.’ And you feel it. It’s like a hole. He was just such a gatekeeper for the liquor and the clubs. He was everything hip-hop. So for that to die out, you just really never thought. Especially when you look at somebody as somebody you studied, somebody you idolized.”
