Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently facing the biggest scandal of his life and as the days go by, it looks like he is sinking deeper and deeper into the sinkhole by the minute. On September 16, the industry mogul was arrested from a Manhattan hotel and he hasn’t stepped out into the free world ever since. He was repeatedly denied bail despite his lawyers making promises of restricting him to his house and offering a $50 million bond.“Diddy” Combs | Credits: Richard Burdett, licensed under CC BY 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons
One of the most shocking aspects of Diddy’s arrest is his alleged drug-fueled s-x parties, better identified with the infamous term, “Freak Offs.” Many celebrities, too, are being linked to these parties, but nothing is official yet. The most recent update about it all comes from an insider close to the rapper who apparently witnessed Diddy and Denzel Washington clashing at an all-night party.

Back in 2003, Denzel Washington and his wife Pauletta partied with Sean Combs until the crack of dawn but stormed off the venue when they witnessed something they clearly did not approve of.
A source who was once close to Diddy in 2003 recently opened up to US Weekly about the said party, which may or may not have been one of his “Freak Offs.” The insider stated, “Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone.’”
Their clash resulted in the couple storming off. As per the insider, Washington had seen something that caused them to turn their backs on Diddy’s party immediately.
Denzel and his wife, [Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out.
As of now, there are no details about what exactly went down during the all-nighter, but it couldn’t possibly have been good.still from the Gotta Move On music video | Credits: Diddy / YouTube
Back in March, Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami properties were raided by Homeland Security Investigations, and what they found was absolutely horrifying.
After his recent arrest, a federal indictment was obtained by NBC News which accused Combs of racketeering conspiracy, s-x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Along with this, details about the earlier raid were also unveiled.
Apart from multiple guns, feds found narcotics and over a thousand bottles of baby oil during the raid, which have been linked to the “Freak Offs.”
As per the indictment, Diddy would distribute controlled substances to his victims, which would make them “obedient and compliant.” On top of that, “Sometimes unbeknownst to the victims, Combs kept videos he filmed of victims engaging in s-x acts with commercial s-x workers.”
Thanks to all of this and more, Diddy is now behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he awaits trial. The next step in his case will be taken soon, on October 09, to be exact.
Diddy’s next court appearance is set for Oct 09, when his lawyers will try to appeal the ruling once again.
The charges against Diddy sure are heavy, but he pleaded not guilty to all of them. Only time will tell if he continues to stand for himself in court or crumbles under pressure.
