After multiple people made multiple allegations of sexual assault and abuse against Diddy, 54, he was arrested in New York City on September 16 and later charged with sex trafficking and organized crime. In his 14-page indictment, Diddy was accused of organizing parties known as “Freak Offs” that featured “elaborate and staged sexual performances.”
According to the indictment, Diddy allegedly used drugs to force women to “perform sexual acts with male sex workers” and “masturbated during these interactions and often recorded them electronically.”
The indictment also states that when the Department of Homeland Security raided Diddy’s home in March, it discovered “various ‘Freak Off’ supplies,” including “narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricants.”

Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo claimed in a statement following his arrest that the musician was “innocent.” 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 his alleged “freak offs.”
Diddy already suspected in a 1999 interview with Entertainment tonightand said, “They’ll probably arrest me for doing all kinds of crazy things just because we want to have fun. Anytime you bring a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. There are a lot of people out there who feel intimidated by that.”
The Grammy winner also joked about his tactics to stop women from skipping his meetings in an 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 water. I don’t know if the men have noticed this, but a lot of ladies drink water at parties. So if you don’t give them what they need, they’re going to leave. You have to keep them there. You need locks on the doors.”
When O’Brien said his suggestion of using locks sounded “kind of dangerous,” Diddy replied that it was “a little perverse.”

We quickly became friends and just hung out and watched football together.”

He added: “(Diddy) asked me if he wanted to go shopping with me. I thought that was the weirdest shit in the world, because that’s what a man might say to a woman. And I was like, ‘Nah, I’m not messing with that weird energy or that weird shit,’ when I saw the way he moved. From that point on, I didn’t feel comfortable around him.”
Robert J
During an interview on September 20 on Chris CuomoOn NewsNation, Ray J claimed he never witnessed any crime or sex trafficking at Diddy’s parties. “We never saw what was said and what people found out.

“I had to turn down $50 million four times. Just to protect my integrity and that virgin hole that I told you about, right?” Williams noted in a January interview on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast that she turned down an offer to attend a Diddy party. “Because P. Diddy wanted to party and you had to tell him no. You had to tell him no! That’s what I did. Look, I have the receipts for everything I tell you, that’s why I can say it so freely.”
At the time, he also hinted that more celebrity scandals would soon come to light, adding: “Everybody’s on it. Whether it’s Diddy or whoever you are.”
