A man who says he managed to sneak into one of Diddy’s infamous parties in the 1990s has revealed what he saw while exploring the event.
Long before a series of allegations about Sean “Diddy” Combs and the events he’s thrown in the past led to his arrest in September 2024, an invitation to one of the rapper’s parties was considered a very hot ticket.
Combs was known to throw so-called ‘White Parties’ every year for more than a decade after the inaugural party in 1998, and those in attendance at his various events included various stars like Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Beyoncé, and, in July 1999, a man named Chris Harris.

Harris was working as a reporter for the East Hampton Star at the time, and allegedly managed to sneak into the party after he overheard some men talking about ‘Puffy’s barbeque’ while he was surf boarding at the beach.
Eager to get a story, the journalist raced down to the rapper’s waterfront mansion and was initially just hoping to get the names of celebrity guests in attendance.
However, when a young blonde woman approached him and allegedly told him that she’d seen a name on the guest list he could use, Harris was in.
The pair confidently approached security and announced themselves as Ted Ammon and his plus one, after which they were immediately admitted entrance into the bash.
In an article published in the New York Post, Harris recalled what he experienced upon entering the party, beginning with ‘deafening’ R&B music.
“[The music was] pumped out by 20 speakers spread across the backyard. In the DJ booth was A Tribe Called Quest‘s Q-Tip,” he recalled.

Harris went on to liken the smell in the air to ‘Willie Nelson’s tour bus’, before adding: “Naked and topless women filled the swimming pool, and models handed out champagne. The line for food was agonizingly slow, but worth it: I’ve yet to find a better-tasting hot dog.”
During his time at the A-list event, Harris said he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Ivanka Trump, and even ‘flirted’ with Carmen Electra.
He claimed only famous people were actually allowed inside Combs’ mansion, but that the rapper paraded around the party dressed in white with gold chains draped around his neck.
Harris even went as far as thanking him for ‘one hell of a party,’ to which Diddy responded, ‘yeah, okay.’
It’s clear the reporter saw a lot at the party, but he stated that he did not witness any of the lubricant, sex toys or pink cocaine detailed in allegations that came to light against the rapper at the time of his arrest.
Combs is currently being held in custody after being charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

Former acquaintances of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have shed light on his infamous ‘white parties’ where women were ‘laid out’ to act as tables for guests.
Insights to Combs’ parties have come to light in the new documentary The Fall of Diddy, in which former friends, employees and companions of the rapper have spoken out about their experiences and the numerous allegations that have come to light against Combs throughout his decades-long career.
Rob Shuter, who worked as a publicist for Combs between 2003-2005, described how the musician was considered a ‘king’ in New York once he rose to fame.
“He was so much fun, he threw the best parties,” Shutter said, recalling how celebrities would ‘let their hair down’ at the events.
Shuter told the BBC: “When Diddy winked at you and said come into the VIP section, you knew you were going to have a really good night.”
Danyel Smith, who crossed paths with Combs when she worked as the former editor of Vibe magazine, described the parties as ‘Gatsby-esque’, saying he threw a bash on the same level seen ‘in the movies‘.

“They were huge,” she said.
However, journalist Mara S. Campo recalled details emerging from the parties at the time they were taking place, including the claim there was ‘a lot of debauchery’.
She continued: “Puffy would have women laid out and have food on their bodies. These are things that were photographed and publicized and just viewed as kind of grand and opulent.”
Images featured in the documentary show guests stood over tables with women lying on their backs, with food placed across their bodies for attendees to pick at.
B. Scott, a social media personality who was working as a blogger in the period of Combs’ infamous parties, recalled hearing about ‘sexual escapades’ from the events, but they claimed they ‘wouldn’t run certain things’ on their blog because they feared ‘retribution’.

“He felt and seemed like he was invincible,” Scott said.
More disturbing details about events held by Combs have been shared as he became the subject of criminal and civil lawsuits, which have accused the rapper of abuse and sexual assault.
In the documentary, victims and witnesses speak out about instances of alleged abuse and sexual assault they either witnessed or experienced themselves.
In response to a request for comment from the creators of The Fall of Diddy, Combs’ legal team said: “Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction.”
A person who claims to have attended one of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ parties has spoken out about a move ‘girls’ would do which would see certain people leave the party.
The 54-year-old rapper was arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking earlier this month.
Multiple people have since come forward claiming to have attended one of his infamous parties, revealing what they allegedly saw.
A resurfaced clip of Combs shows him on Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 2002 talking about not only needing alcohol but ‘water’ at parties because otherwise the ‘ladies’ are ‘gonna leave,’ adding you ‘gotta keep [the ladies] there’ and ‘locks on the doors’.
YouTuber Jeff Wittek has taken to social media opening up about what he saw when he allegedly attended one of the rapper’s parties and a singer has also spoken out about her experiences. The singer alleged there was a locked door and there were ‘two different parties’ going on at the event, one which she ‘would be asked to join later’.
And another person has since spoken out about the alleged second half of the night at one of Combs’ events.

Claiming to have attended one of Diddy’s ‘White Parties’ between 2006 and 2011, a source told Us Weekly there was a way to tell when some members of the party were meant to start getting their belongings together and leaving a select few behind.
They said the signal would typically occur around two or three in the morning and would see a shift in what sort of event it was.
They said: “Girls would start to lose their clothes – that was the signal for people to leave.”
They added that’s when drugs would allegedly be brought out and claim the rest of the night would last until around 7:00am.

The document accuses the rapper of having ‘transported commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally’ and ‘then used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers’.
It continues: “Combs subjected victims to physical, emotional, and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage in Freak Offs. Combs maintained control over his victims through, among other things, physical violence, promises of career opportunities, granting and threatening to withhold financial support, and by other coercive means, including tracking their whereabouts, dictating the victims’ appearance, monitoring their medical records, controlling their housing, and supplying them with controlled substances.”
Combs has continued to deny the charges and all accusations against him.
Diddy’s inner circle who ‘witnessed everything’ have turned on the rapper in a new documentary about the criminal allegations made against him.
The 54-year-old, real name Sean Combs, was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York back in September 2024, and faces a slew of charges.
The music mogul was charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion – all charges of which he has pleaded not guilty.
Diddy has even had his bail denied twice, meaning he spent the festive period behind bars.
As the rapper awaits his federal trial scheduled for May this year, an explosive documentary surrounding Diddy has released, where some of the rapper’s closest allies has turned on him.
Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, which is set to release on Peacock on January 14, provides an insight into Diddy’s turbulent career.
A trailer for the special, which was dropped on Thursday (January 2), shows unseen footage of Diddy partying in his home and studio.
“I’ve been with Sean for quite a while and I’ve captured a lot of moments,” one unidentified individual said, as per the Daily Mail. “Anytime a studio or any rooms is [lit with red lighting], he’s making love, sex. Some of the girls who were in the room, for sure, they were underage.”
An unidentified woman then added: “They said they could ship me off and sell me to anyone.”
So far, over 100 people have come forward to accuse Diddy of sexual assault, with them going on to file a lawsuit against him.

Houston-based lawyer Tony Buzbee is representing the men and women who accuse Diddy of sexual abuse and exploitation.
Spanning across 25 different states, some cases are said to date back as far as 1991, when some of the accusers were children.
Diddy’s attorney Eric Wolff previously spoke to UNILAD about the multiple accusations against the star.
She said: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, 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.”
Diddy is being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits his trial.
A lot of musicians have made reputations for themselves with their on-stage antics, but I don’t think there are many quite as memorable as Ozzy Osbourne biting into a bat.
The historic moment took place in 1982, way before many of us were even born. But whether you’re a fan of Ozzy or not, chances are you’ve still heard about it.
It all went down at a show in Des Moines, Iowa, when Ozzy was performing as lead singer for the heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
During the show, a fan threw what Ozzy at the time thought was a fake rubber bat on to the stage.

Wanting to give his fans a good show, the singer picked up the object and sunk his teeth into it – but as soon as he did, he realized he’d made a huge mistake.
Per Far Out magazine, the rock star recalled: “Immediately […] something felt wrong. Very wrong.”
A horrifying simulation created by YouTuber Zack D. Films helps shed light on exactly what Ozzy went through in the following moments, as it shows a simulated version of the star realizing his mouth has filled up with liquid as he discovered the bat was actually real.
Ozzy recalled: “For a start, my mouth was instantly full of this warm, gloopy liquid, with the worst aftertaste you could ever imagine. I could feel it staining my teeth and running down my chin.”

The simulation shows the blood running down Ozzy’s chin before he was taken to the hospital to try and counter any potentially dangerous health impacts.
At the time, the musician initially feared the bat had been alive when it was thrown on to the stage, and that he’d killed it by biting off its head.
Later, however, the person who’d thrown the bat confirmed it was already dead.
Viewers have been left horrified by the simulation retelling the incident, with one writing: “His face of terror when he realized…”
At the hospital, Ozzy received rabies jabs as a precaution, and while he largely seemed to walk away from the incident physically unscathed, the incident quickly became something he’d be associated with for decades to come.
In 1997, the singer told journalist Edward Helmore that the story had followed him ‘every day since 1982’.
“It’s not Ozzy Osbourne the man who’s travelled more miles than an astronaut and sold x billion records. It’s all they’re going to remember!” he said. “When I die it will be OZZY Osbourne THE BAT BITER IS DEAD; BATS CAN NOW LIVE IN PEACE.”
