Court documents detail what Diddy’s ‘freak off’ parties involved as rapper could face life in prison

Warning: this article discusses SA and domestic abuse which some readers may find distressing.

A number of court documents have detailed what could have been part of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' disturbing 'freak off' parties.

The record executive and music producer is set to sit in a Manhattan federal courtroom next week (5 May) for one of the USA's biggest celebrity trials ever.

Diddy has been accused of heading up a sex-trafficking among other charges, which have effectively ended his career in unceremonious circumstances.

Allegations have gone as far as mentioning certain celebrities' names in documents, linking them to Diddy in some way.

Now, the former cultural titan has been behind bars in New York since his arrest in September, away from the mansions he owns in Los Angeles and Miami, where many of his freak-off parties would take place.

What has Diddy been accused of?

Diddy has rejected an 11th hour plea deal from prosecutors, believing that the jury that will sit in on his trial will clear him of the numerous accusations made against him.

The evidence lined up against the 'I'll Be Missing You' rapper could land him behind bars for life.

He has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, all of which he pleaded not guilty to on 17 September.

The 55-year-old's attempts at bail have been turned down.

Diddy has been accused of abusing his 'power and prestige' to drug sex workers at his 'freak-off' parties, while also allegedly having 'abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct' since 2008.'

What do the court documents say?

Monday 5 May will see the start of the long-awaited trial, which is set to last eight weeks, with the focus on the 'freak-offs' he would host involving female victims and male sex workers.

Federal prosecutors claim that Combs arranged and watched these marathon sex events, while masturbating and recording participants.

An investigator claimed: “These were not consensual parties.

“These were coercive, ­manipulative events designed to break down victims and keep them dependent.”

The victims were said to have been given powerful controlled substances, many times against their will, so that they would be 'obedient and compliant' during the days-long sessions.

Significant pieces of evidence

One of the most shocking discoveries made by investigators was to do with the almost 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant that were found in Diddy's Miami and Los Angeles mansions.

The raids were said to be 'unprecedented in scale and disturbing in content' by federal agents.

Another detail in the indictment said that these parties were so draining that participants would need IV fluids, so they could 'recover from the physical exertion and drug use.'

Claims from Diddy's lawyer

Diddy's new lawyer Marc Anifilo, called the case a 'witch hunt' and said that the decision to bring it to court was 'deeply disappointing.'

He added: “Mr Combs is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.

“We look forward to clearing his name,” Anifilo said outside a courthouse.

Three months before the trial date, Anthony Ricco, a lawyer for Diddy, announced he would no longer represent him due to 'sufficient reasons'.

Other claims made against Diddy

Prosecutors claim that Diddy was behind a decades-long criminal enterprise that fronted as a music empire.

They claim that abuse, coercion, and exploitation were a regular instalment in his work and personal life.

Key witnesses like Diddy's former partner, Cassandra Ventura, better known as Cassie, could be influential in the final decision.

Cassie filed a civil suit against Diddy in 2023, accusing him of rape and a decade of physical and emotional abuse.

They settled the case a day later, though footage would later be released by CNN that showed Diddy dragging her by her hair via surveillance footage captured in a California hotel.

While his team tried to exclude the footage from the trial, the court ruled it as admissible.

Federal prosecutors also haven't revealed if there are any additional charges pending, as the record executive faces decades in prison if found guilty.

Judge Arun Subramanian also stated in a final procedural earlier this week that Diddy had turned down a plea offer.

Opening arguments are due on 12 May.
