Ray J, the ex-boyfriend of Kim Kardashian, has lifted the lid on his experiences of attending Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ star-studded parties while explaining why the recent allegations have proven ‘hurtful and confusing’ for some
Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend has shed some light on what it was reportedly like to attend one of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ infamous parties.
Diddy, who continues to await trial behind the walls of Brookyln’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), was once renowned for his star-studded bashes, which saw A-Listers mingling against opulent backdrops. Now, Diddy’s parties have gained attention once more for a very different reason, after the rapper was last month arrested in New York and later charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation and engaging in prostitution.
Diddy, 54, has vehemently denied all charges and has pled not guilty in court. It’s been alleged that Diddy held secret ‘freak off’ parties that involved illegal drugs, hidden cameras, sex workers and underage girls. According to the grand jury indictment documents, these days-long orgies saw ‘either barely legal, or barely illegal women’, ‘forced to have sex with male prostitutes’.
As per this indictment, which has been seen by the Mirror, it’s also been claimed that Diddy ‘hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair’, and that he subjected ‘victims to physical, emotional, and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage in Freak Offs’. In recent times, a number of celebrities have sought to distance themselves from Diddy – including Kim K.
Now Kim’s ex-boyfriend, Ray J, real name William Ray Norwood Jr, has opened up about his own experience at Diddy’s parties, during an interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation’s CUOMO last month. The R&B singer, who dated Kim from 2002 to 2006, stated that ‘a lot of people in the industry’ had been unaware of anything related to the serious allegations made against Diddy.
Ray J explained: “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. And a lot of people in the industry can agree with me on that sense. Like you all wanted to go and have a good time at a Diddy party.”
He proceeded to say that guests wanted to have a good time, be ‘inspired’, and work hard the following day because of the good vibes they’d enjoyed. According to One Wish artist Ray J, people are still trying to ‘digest’ and understand everything, and while the allegations weren’t ‘factual yet’, they have still proven to be ‘hurtful and confusing’ for some.
Shortly before Diddy’s mansions were raided earlier this year, Kim, 43, quietly unfollowed the three-time Grammy Award winner, as did a number of other stars. Kim and her sisters once moved in the same social circles as Diddy, and the siblings have often spoken of the fun times they’ve enjoyed at the music mogul’s glittering gatherings.
In a 2014 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe can be heard regaling Kourtney with tales of a wild party where people were allegedly ‘butt naked’. Confirming that she’d spent the weekend with celeb pals including Diddy, Quincy Brown, Justin Bieber, and French Montana, Khloe claimed: “I got on a plane at 5.30am. Well this party…I think half the people there were butt naked.” She added: “You would have loved it.”
An Instagram post shared by Khloe in December 2019 shows her and sisters Kylie and Kim all glammed up while posing with Diddy, with the caption: “Nothing like a Diddy party!”
Speaking outside the courthouse on September 17, Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said: “Mr Combs is a fighter, he’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent. He came to New York to establish his innocence. He’s not afraid, he’s not afraid of the charges.” Combs’ attorney, previously addressing earlier allegations, remarked that his client “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus”.
