Denzel Washington ‘had furious bust-up with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at one of rapper’s parties’
As the rapper is in jail in New York awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, Denzel Washington is said to have told Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs he doesn’t “respect” anyone during a furious row at one of the musician’s infamous parties.
Denzel Washington is said to have told Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs he doesn’t “respect” anyone during a furious row at one of the rapper’s parties.
The Oscar-winning actor, 69, was reportedly partying with the 54-year-old rapper – who is in jail in New York awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering – in 2003 when the alleged bust-up kicked off.
A source told Us Weekly Denzel screamed: “You don’t respect anyone” at Combs – adding: “(Denzel and his wife Pauletta Washington) had been partying until dawn (with Diddy), and they had seen something and stormed out.”
Denzel and Combs were seen out together on a string of occasions around a decade ago, including at the 2001 Essence Awards as well as former US President Barack Obama’s first inauguration in 2009 and NBA games.
It is unclear what the men were fighting about, and there is no indication the apparent row was linked to Combs’ criminal charges.
The claim emerged as Combs issued a denial from jail after 120 alleged victims came forward against him with fresh sexual assault claims.
He was hit with a raft of new allegations at a shocking press conference held on Tuesday. (01.10.24.)
Lawyers say the alleged victims are set to file multiple lawsuits detailing allegations of sexual assault that span over 25 years – and include women and men that were underage at the time of the reported assaults.
Following the announcement of the accusations in Texas, an attorney for Combs said the rapper cannot “address every meritless allegation” in what they branded “a reckless media circus”.
The attorney added: “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.”
