LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sean "Diddy" Combs' recent arrest has brought forward several sensation incidents from the past, and one of them involved Denzel Washington and his wife, Pauletta Washington. 

A source claimed that Denzel confronted Diddy and "stormed out" of one of his parties in 2003 after witnessing some unusual and disrespectful behavior, which could be related to the allegations brought against the music mogul, as per speculations. 

Diddy was arrested on September 16 on multiple charges, including sex trafficking, but he has vehemently denied all the allegations, labeling them as false and suggesting they are part of an effort to tarnish his reputation as a successful Black man.

The insider recalled, "Denzel screamed, 'You don't respect anyone.'"

Following the confrontation, Denzel and his wife, Pauletta, abruptly left the gathering. The source noted, "[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out." 

The specifics of what the couple observed that night are unknown.

After hearing about the unusual and abrupt departure of Denzel Washington and his wife from one of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' parties, the internet has been buzzing with opinions about the current situation.

One wrote, "That dont mean noting that was juss 1 party wat about the rest he attended," while another said, "But he didn’t say anything! Why he didn’t report it? Now everyone is trying to clean their hands."

"But didn't say anything or report at the time," remarked a person, and someone else added, "He should have reported it instead of just screaming." "And why didnt he report what he saw?" questioned an individual. 

One more expressed, "Then why didn’t he 'confront' the authorities? NO ONE who knew is innocent. Whoever knew is an accomplice and accountable." "Stormed out.. left early.. knew what was happening and did nothing. Guilty. They all are," wrote another person. 

Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces additional allegations from 120 individuals

Sean "Diddy" Combs, who remains in custody awaiting trial, is now facing assault allegations from an additional 120 individuals. These involve several men and women, some of whom were minors at the time of the alleged assault.

An attorney for Diddy dismissed the allegations as a "reckless media circus," asserting they are false and "meritless."

The attorney stated that Combs "emphatically and categorically denies" any allegations of assault, calling them "false and defamatory," and further claimed he has "not abused anyone."

"He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation," told the attorney to Daily Mail.

Multiple lawsuits are expected to be filed against him in New York and Los Angeles.

Tony Buzbee, who is representing the accusers, noted that the group consists of 60 males and 60 females, 25 of whom were minors at the time of the alleged incidents. The accusations date back to 1991.

He emphasized that this type of abuse should "never happen in the United States or anywhere else," adding that such conduct has left many individuals "injured, scared, and scarred."

Buzbee also mentioned that his firm is representing clients from over 25 states, with the largest numbers coming from California, New York, Georgia, and Florida.
