Warning: This article contains discussion of sexual assault allegations which some readers may find distressing.
Ex-Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson revealed that she'd been to 'one or two' of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' parties and spoke about what she saw.
Wilkinson's comments came after Diddy was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution last year.
The rapper was detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, after his arrest on September 16, 2024 and plead not guilty to the charges against him, having repeatedly denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

Diddy was ultimately found guilty of two counts of transportation for engagement in prostitution, a violation of the Mann Act, which outlaws interstate commerce related to prostitution. However, he was cleared of some of the other serious charges against him.
Previously, the rapper had been accused of hosting parties, known more commonly as ‘Freak Offs’, where he'd allegedly force sex-trafficking victims to engage in group sex acts.
An indictment read: "After Freak Offs, Combs and the victims typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use."
Prosecutors also accused the Bad Boy Records founder of recording sex acts - sometimes without the victim's knowledge - during these ‘freak offs’.
One famous face who has confirmed that she'd attended a couple of P Diddy parties in the past is Kendra Wilkinson, one of Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriends.
In an interview with KIIS FM host Jackie 'O' Henderson, Wilkinson was asked about 'going to P Diddy's parties back in the day'.
She replied: "I remember just going to like one or two, but again, like I had a great time in my youth.
"Like, I didn't really see anything. Like I never saw anything really bad happening around me. Sex is sex, in my opinion."
When asked if she saw anything abnormal to that of a typical 'Hollywood party,' Wilkinson responded: "Look, you're going to the Playboy Mansion. You know, there's girls topless in the grotto.
“Don't we already know that. [...] [The Mansion] was pretty nasty. You know, there was dog poop everywhere and Hef [Hefner] would wobble by and just pick it up with his bare hands."
Wilkinson has previously spoken out about how Playboy 'really messed [her] whole life up'.
She ultimately resolved about her experiences with Diddy: "I'm not saying that something bad didn't happen. I'm saying that, you know, nothing bad ever happened to me."

"While I am aware that the Local Rule requires that an application for withdrawal of counsel is supported and granted 'only upon a showing by affidavit or otherwise of satisfactory reasons for withdrawal,' there are sufficient reasons (related to the protections afforded by the attorney/client privilege) for brevity in my application for withdrawal as counsel in this case."
