Following Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest in New York last month, his famous friends have found themselves under the microscope, with many online dissecting their previous interactions.
The 54-year-old was taken into custody in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, and is currently behind bars at a facility in Brooklyn after he was denied bail twice.
Yesterday, Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee filed six lawsuits featuring four male accusers, including one who alleged that he was just 16 years old when he was sexually assaulted at one of the rapper’s infamous white parties – claims he has denied.
In the wake of his arrest, his interactions with other celebrities have resurfaced on social media, including his star-studded events and A-List friendships.
Multiple US outlets claimed that Kim Kardashian was among those who unfollowed Combs on Instagram, but she has not spoken publicly over the speculation.
A video recently emerged, showing Khloe Kardashian bragging about partying with the music mogul in an old episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
The scene first aired in 2014 and showed the now 40-year-old catching up with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, as she unpacked a wild party with ‘a bunch of her friends’, including Combs, Justin Bieber and French Montana.
Later in the episode, they enjoyed a bowling session with a pal when she shared: ‘I haven’t been to bed yet. I got on a plane at 5:30am.
‘Well, this party, I think half the people were butt-naked.’
Two years later, Khloe invited Combs to appear on her Kocktails with Khloe series, where she hailed him as a hardworking, ‘eclectic’ person.
‘Well, I know you’re known for the parties. When you think of a party or a good time, you think of Puff,’ she said. ‘We’ve been known to party with you a few times.’
Turning to her Kourtney, who was also taking part in the episode, she continued: ‘You were just at Puffy’s birthday.’
‘Yes, I forgot about that. That was an epic night too. Every night…,’ the Poosh owner reflected.
‘That night was fun because all the girls ditched me, so it was like me and the boys. It was me, Kanye, Corey [Gamble], T [Tyga] and we were all just hanging out and it was fun. I loved it.’
Heaping praise on Combs, Khloe added: ‘I don’t know how you have all the energy but that’s who you are and that’s why people are so drawn to you, because you’re so eclectic.
‘No matter what, no matter how much you work, you don’t sleep, you don’t do anything, but that’s just you.’
Their friendship was still going strong three years later as Khloe posted pictures beside Combs and her siblings on December 16, 2019.
Taking to Instagram, she could be seen posing with the disgraced producer, as well as sisters Kim and Kylie in two separate pictures – commemorating his celeb-packed 50th birthday party.
Alongside the upload, which is still visible on her page, Khloe wrote: ‘Nothing like a Diddy party!’
No one in the famous family has been linked to any of the allegations that Combs is facing, and they have not spoken out following his arrest.
Combs is currently in custody after he was arrested last month, following sexual assault and rape allegations spanning decades.
He has fiercely denied all allegations made against him, with his lawyer sharing a statement with Metro the latest lawsuits, filed by Buzbee yesterday.
It read: ‘The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity.
‘Mr Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process.
‘In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Kim and Khloe Kardashian for a comment.
