What Are Diddy’s ‘White Parties’?
Diddy’s “White Parties” were legendary, high-profile events that took place in the Hamptons, Saint-Tropez, and Beverly Hills, famous for their strict all-white dress code. Launched in the late 1990s, the parties were a celebration of opulence, glamour, and the music mogul’s A-list connections. Stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Lopez frequented these extravagant events. With luxurious settings and top-tier entertainment, Diddy’s White Parties were a hallmark of celebrity culture during the early 2000s.
These gatherings, however, have now come under scrutiny, given Diddy’s recent legal battles involving accusations of sex trafficking and misconduct. The White Parties were glamorous, but new questions have emerged about the nature of these events following the surfacing of shocking allegations.
What Happened at Diddy’s ‘Freak Off’ Parties?
Unlike the White Parties, Diddy’s “Freak Off” events were private, more sinister affairs. According to court documents from his recent sex trafficking indictment, these “Freak Offs” involved elaborate sexual performances that were allegedly arranged and directed by Diddy.
Often spanning days and involving multiple commercial sex workers, the parties allegedly included the distribution of drugs such as ketamine and GHB to keep participants “obedient.” Victims were coerced into prolonged sexual acts, and Diddy is accused of recording these acts to use as leverage against them.
Federal prosecutors claimed that “freak off” parties were far more disturbing than the public White Parties, where the music and glamour obscured the darker, secretive activities happening behind closed doors.
Were Diddy’s ‘White Parties’ His ‘Freak Offs’?
While Diddy’s White Parties were publicized events that attracted celebrities and the media, his “Freak Off” parties were private gatherings, reportedly held in secret and focused on sexual exploitation. There is no direct evidence that the two were the same, though they both reflect a culture of excess and indulgence. In court, the “Freak Offs” were described as highly orchestrated sexual events that were part of a criminal operation—far removed from the public festivities of the White Parties.
What Celebrities Went to Diddy’s Parties?
Over the years, a wide array of celebrities graced Diddy’s White Parties. Among the A-listers were Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and many more. These glamorous gatherings in the Hamptons and Beverly Hills often attracted a who’s who of Hollywood, music, and fashion. While no allegations suggest that these attendees were involved in Diddy’s “Freak Offs,” the overlap of public and private events has raised eyebrows given the recent revelations.
What Have Celebrities Said About Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Parties?
Celebrities who attended Diddy’s White Parties have mostly spoken of them as iconic social events. Paris Hilton once described the 1998 White Party as “iconic,” while 50 Cent has been more critical, claiming he avoided attending Diddy’s parties because of unsettling rumors. Damon Dash, a music executive, recently clarified that he only attended a single White Party in the Hamptons and distanced himself from the darker allegations.
Other celebrities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, have remained silent or distanced themselves from Diddy in recent years. As the legal proceedings continue, many former guests are likely to reevaluate their association with the once-celebrated events, especially as more information about Diddy’s alleged misconduct comes to light.
