Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently on trial in New York, facing serious charges including sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The trial, which commenced on May 5, 2025, is expected to last between eight to ten weeks. Prosecutors allege that Combs orchestrated events known as “freak-offs,” where women were manipulated into participating in drug-fueled sexual performances with male sex workers.
Insights from a Party Planner
A former party planner who worked for Combs in the mid-2000s has provided harrowing details about these events. She described the parties as “wall-to-wall debauchery,” with mirrored walls reflecting every angle of the activities. The planner claimed she was responsible for arranging food, drinks, entertainment, and décor, and alleged that Combs hired both men and women referred to as “models,” who were actually sex workers.
Strict Entry Criteria for Women
Another party planner revealed that Combs imposed strict physical standards for women attending the “freak-offs.” Women were required to be “young and hot,” with a weight limit of 140 pounds unless they were tall. The planner admitted to using a scale to enforce these criteria, and women had to dress in a revealing manner.
Evidence Presented in Court
Court documents indicate that investigators recovered nearly 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant from Combs’ residences in Miami and Los Angeles. Prosecutors claim that the “freak-offs” were coercive events designed to break down victims and keep them dependent, with allegations that victims were given substances to keep them “obedient and compliant” for extended periods.
Defense’s Position
Combs’ attorneys have denied the allegations, insisting that the 55-year-old rapper is innocent. They claim that any group sex was consensual and that no one was coerced into participating in activities against their will.
Potential Consequences
If found guilty, Combs could face life imprisonment. The trial is not being televised due to federal regulations prohibiting electronic media in courtrooms for such cases.

Overview of the Trial
Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently on trial in New York, facing grave federal charges that include sex trafficking, coercion, and transporting individuals for prostitution. The high-profile case, expected to last up to ten weeks, has already produced shocking testimony from former employees and insiders about the music mogul’s so-called “freak-off” parties—intimate gatherings allegedly designed to exploit and control women.
Behind Closed Doors: Party Planners Speak Out
Multiple party planners, some of worked with Combs in the mid-2000s, have testified that the events were not just wild celebrity parties, but orchestrated setups that involved drugs, sex workers, and strict standards for female guests. One described being required to weigh women in her car before allowing them to attend, saying, “Diddy had very specific preferences.” These accounts paint a disturbing picture of a powerful man leveraging his wealth and status to curate highly controlled sexual environments.
Conclusion
Investigators uncovered extensive supplies of lubricants and baby oil at Combs’ properties, which prosecutors say supports claims that these gatherings were systematic and planned. Testimony also alleges that victims were drugged to remain submissive, sometimes for days at a time. Prosecutors argue this reflects a calculated effort to break down personal boundaries and maintain psychological dominance over the women involved.
