More celebrities are speaking out following the shocking arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Since his arrest on Sept. 16, disturbing new allegations have emerged regarding Diddy’s alleged misconduct over the years. Inside an unsealed indictment uncovered last month, the hip-hop icon was accused of orchestrating elaborate, drug-fueled “Freak Off” sex sessions that reportedly lasted for days, Us Weekly noted. During these events, prosecutors allege that the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper coerced women into sexual acts with male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters in secret.
The shocking 14-page indictment also detailed accusations that he “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him.” The former REVOLT TV CEO faces accusations of sexually assaulting more than 100 individuals, including a 9-year-old victim.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking through force, fraud, or coercion, as well as transportation for prostitution. His next court appearance is set for Oct. 9, when officials will determine whether to grant him release as he awaits the verdict in his trial. He’s been denied bail twice, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Diddy’s former artist, Dawn Richard, filed a lawsuit against him last month.
In September, former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard publicly denounced Diddy as allegations against the music mogul continued to surface. In September, Richard filed a shocking lawsuit alleging that she was sexually assaulted, deprived of food, and inadequately compensated during her time working with Diddy, according to NPR. Additionally, she claimed to have witnessed Diddy abusing his former girlfriend, Cassie, on multiple occasions.
Here are several more celebrities who have publicly condemned the CEO of Bad Boy Records as his sex trafficking case continues to unfold.

In a statement written on behalf of Dawn Richard, Lisa Bloom, the singer’s attorney told Us Weekly, “We applaud the grand jury’s new indictment of Sean Combs, which is strikingly similar to the federal complaint we filed last week on behalf of our brave client, Dawn Richard. Given the brutal beating of Sean Combs’ girlfriend caught on video and the eight people who have now accused him of abuse in court filings, including Dawn, this arrest seems long overdue.”

In an interview with the Daily Mail on Oct. 1, Wendy Williams, who has stepped back from the public eye since her health struggles began in 2022, expressed that she wasn’t shocked by the allegations against Diddy. This follows Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit filed in November, in which she accused the New York native of rape and assault.
“What’s really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,’” the media maven said. “Including some people from my family who have said the same.”
Williams expressed that it was “about time” Diddy’s actions were exposed. She reflected on the disturbing video of him assaulting Cassie, calling it “horrific.”
The former radio host added, “But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.”

Romeo Miller, also known as Lil Romeo, spoke to TMZ about Diddy’s sex trafficking allegations a few days after the rapper and entrepreneur was arrested. During an interview with the outlet on Sept. 23, Romeo offered some words of advice to the hip-hop luminary.
“From my experience, I would say that you’ve always got to apologize if you do wrong in any way. You’ve got to go to that person behind closed doors and try to make it right,” the star shared. “Nobody’s perfect, but justice always comes around. So you have to do your best part when you know you messed up or effed up, try to make it right. God forgives all, but humans, it’s a little bit harder for us to forgive. … We all make the bed that we lay in.”

Comedian, Kat Williams, somewhat predicted Diddy’s shocking fall during a viral interview with Shannon Sharpe in January.
“All these big deviants are catching hell in 2024. It’s up for all of them. It don’t matter if you’re Diddy, or whoever…TD Jakes, all lies will be exposed,” Williams said during his interview on Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. “Anyone who takes it the wrong way knows why they take it the wrong way.”
During the show, Williams mentioned that he was invited to Diddy’s notorious parties over the years but chose not to attend because he wanted to distance himself from some of the alleged chaos that occurred at those events.
“I’ve had to turn down $50 million four times,” Williams said. “P.Diddy be wanting to party. And you’ve got to tell him ‘no.’ I did.”

Singer, entrepreneur, and reality TV, Ray J, said she was in “shock” over the allegations leveled against Diddy during an interview with former CNN anchor, Chris Cuomo, in September.
“We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are finding out,” the “One Wish” hitmaker said. “I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about, and I never knew they existed.”
Ray J once considered Diddy a mentor and “looked up” to the music exec throughout his career.
“This situation is super unfortunate, but it’s important to learn a lesson right now and ensure the next generation understands how to move differently with transparency and integrity,” he added.
