Diddy looks visibly uncomfortable as Ellen DeGeneres asks him about domestic violence in resurfaced clip
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sean "Diddy" Combs’ bombshell arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy has led to the resurfacing of quite a few controversial videos from the past.
Recently, internet sleuths have unearthed another incriminating video, this time from the disgraced music mogul's 2009 appearance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'. At one point, the talk show host brought up the subject of domestic violence which made the Bad Boy Records founder visibly uncomfortable.
Ellen DeGeneres asked Sean 'Diddy' Combs about Chris Brown and Rihanna's assault incident
While talking about the allegations of Chris Brown assaulting Rihanna a day before the Grammy Awards in 2009, Ellen DeGeneres stated, "I don’t want any girl out there thinking it’s okay to go back to a guy who hit her."
As seen in the video, Diddy, sitting on the opposite couch, looked uncomfortable as he started fidgeting, as per Perez Hilton. Elen, however, assured him that she didn’t mean to "put [him] in that" because "that’s not [him]."
Her words did little to calm Diddy, who clapped back, "No, but you are putting me in it. So I’m going to speak on it."
He went on to say, "I don’t think that it’s right for anybody to hit anybody at the end of the day, you know. And I don’t think it’s right — you know, we all have to be honest with ourselves as adults and people who have been in relationships, you know, we know sometimes those relationships get ugly."
Diddy continued to defend his stance, noting, "Sometimes it doesn’t come out into the forefront the way this one has come out, and so there’s a lot of stones being thrown, and we don’t know exactly what’s going on."
"These are two young individuals. We need to pray for them, and we need to give certain support, but you don’t need to just start saying that you know something that you don’t know. You wasn’t in that car, I wasn’t in that car," remarked the rapper.
As he treaded on the dangerous water diplomatically, Diddy added, "It isn’t right for him to put his hands on her or her to put her hands on him, and we don’t know what the problem is, but we need to pray for them, and we need to do things to support them. And that’s all I want to say about it."
The interview could be a premonition of how things unfolded for the Bad Boy Records founder who has faced multiple assault allegations in the past years.
In November 2023, Diddy's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, filed a lawsuit alleging physical and sexual abuse. While the rapper vehemently denied the allegations, the two reached a settlement a day after the suit was filed.
However, earlier this year, CNN unearthed surveillance footage that appeared to show Diddy violently assaulting Cassie in the lobby of a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. The altercation captured in the video seemed to match a scenario mentioned in Cassie's lawsuit.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs talked about the ingredients for his parties in Conan O'Brien interview
Following Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest, another disturbing video resurfaced where the rapper shared his secret "ingredients" for hosting successful parties.
During a 2002 interview with Conan O'Brien, when he asked Diddy the requirements for his "killer parties," he said, "This is what you need to do. Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies, of course," as per Us Weekly.
The music mogul added, "You need some water. I don’t know if guys have noticed this but a lot of ladies drink water at parties, so if you don’t have what they need, they’re going to leave. Gotta keep them there. Need locks on the doors."
