A woman who was a photographer at some of Diddy's parties said she had a 'scary' moment when her camera was snatched away from her.

The musician, real name Sean Combs, is currently in jail with a plethora of accusations made against him.

Lawsuits have been filed which allege a number of incidents over a 25 year period, including some involving people who were underage at the time they are claimed to have occurred.

Combs is currently jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn after pleading not guilty to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He has twice been denied bail, and after allegations that 120 people were planning to come forwards with lawsuits his legal representatives told us: "As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasised, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.

"That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.

"He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation."

Since claims were made against him a number of people have spoken out about his parties, with a comedian claiming to have attended one in 2010 where he said he saw people openly having sex in a Miami mansion.

Someone else who has made allegations about what the parties were like is celebrity photographer Selma Fonseca, who says she went to '20 or 30 Diddy parties' in total.

She said she didn't witness the alleged 'freak offs' which are claimed to have occurred at the parties, but did say that some people who attended brought their kids and alleged that Diddy told them to 'put the kids away' so people could 'groove on'.

Speaking to Fox, the photographer said there was a 'scary' moment where her camera was confiscated from her.

Fonseca said she never felt 'unsafe', at one of Diddy's parties but in 2006 she claimed he told one of his bodyguards to confiscate her camera, but stated that no photos were deleted.

She said: "Diddy was in a VIP area, and I saw there was a girl next to him that I had never seen before.

"I took pictures of him with the girl, and he told his bodyguard ‘go get her camera.’ The bodyguard came and said ‘let me see the pictures'.

"Diddy looked at the pictures, and I’m waiting, and he’s pouring shots, having fun. He did eventually give me my camera back.

"He never asked me for my camera, I had been photographing the man for 20 years. It was scary, but he knew better."
