In the new Peacock documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, Sean 'Diddy' Combs' childhood friend Tim 'Dawg' Patterson claimed that the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder's mother Janice Combs hosted sex parties.
As reported by Rolling Stone, producer Tim Patterson said that at Diddy's childhood home, his mother would frequently host parties where adults would have sex. "That's what we were privy to; this is what we were fed," he said. "Was it desensitizing us? I'm sure it was. Were we aware of it? No, that was just Saturday night."
Patterson suggested that parties might have influenced Diddy's alleged crimes, which include charges of federal racketeering and sex trafficking. In the lead-up to Diddy's arrest, he was sued by multiple people including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who accused him of forcing her to take drugs and take part in sex parties that he called "freak offs." He settled that lawsuit, but Diddy is still facing over 30 civil lawsuits from men and women who claim he sexually assaulted or harassed them.
“I’ve always been asked the question why,” Patterson added. “I don’t know the answer to why, but I truly believe it all goes back to childhood.” Patterson also claimed that Diddy was bullied as a child because other students at the all-boys private Catholic high school he attended could "smell he was not tough" and he was often seen "as the rich kid."
"On the weekend, [Combs] partied in the house, and we did that a lot,” he said. “He was around all types of alcohol; he was around reefer smoke. Drug addicts around, lesbians around, homosexuals, he was around pimps, pushers. That was just who was in our house. People that attended the parties were from Harlem, from the streets. It wouldn’t be a thing to mistakenly walk into one of the bedrooms and you got a couple in there, butt naked.”
DJ EZ Lee Davis, a former associate of Diddy, said he never attended the parties but he heard rumors about them for years. The full 90-minute documentary premieres on Peacock on Tuesday, Jan. 14, and will also feature interviews with Al B and several people who worked Diddy's reality series, Making the Band.
Diddy remains behind bars as he awaits trial, which is scheduled to start in May. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
