Decades before being indicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Diddy predicted he would be arrested for his parties
Decades before being indicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Sean “Diddy” Combs predicted he would end up in trouble with the law.
“They’re going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time,” Diddy, now 54, told Entertainment Tonight in 1999. “Whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. It’s a lot of people out there that feel intimidated by it.”
Diddy was arrested earlier this month and ordered to stay at the Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial. He has been denied bail twice.
One day after his arrest, a 14-page indictment was unsealed. Per the court documents,
Diddy was accused of abusing, threatening and coercing women and others around him to fulfill “his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.” He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
According to the indictment, Diddy orchestrated “Freak Offs,” which allegedly were “elaborate and produced sex performances” — often taking place in hotel rooms — where he “masturbated during, and often electronically recorded” them.
