White parties hosted by embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs always went wild after sunset with bikini-clad models, free-flowing bottles of Ciroc and, on one occasion, Ashton Kutcher frolicking in the pool.
“He [Diddy] There were girls in bikinis with revealing outfits. They always had dancers – they were super sexy. Once it got dark, people felt a little more relaxed.
“People were connecting, making connections,” entertainment photojournalist Selma Fonseca, who attended ceremonies on the East and West coasts in 2007 and 2009, told The Post.
At the time, Fonseca recalled guests gathered around the pool at Diddy's Bel Air mansion, when suddenly Kutcher, who was at the peak of his celebrity and had recently begun dating Demi Moore, climbed onto a swing. Went and started hanging out in the pool with another guest. ,
Fonseka said that Kutcher was the life of the party.
“Ashton likes to have fun – he was very young. He just started dating Demi [Moore]he climbed on that swing [in the pool] And literally almost fell into the water,” Fonseca recalled.
Since Diddy was convicted and then arrested on September 16 on charges including sex trafficking, the lavish parties he threw annually from 1998 to 2009 have come under renewed scrutiny.
Although no allegations of wrongdoing have been made at this unethical gathering, most of the celebrities who attended have remained conspicuously quiet.
At the 2007 party, Diddy, wearing a white suit, appeared from the balcony of his Hamptons mansion, announcing: “We're gonna turn it on,” and encouraged guests to drink his Ciroc brand vodka. “Taste it, you will like it. Really,” he said.
Then she claimed her kids were about to be carted off – so the real dun could begin.
“If child welfare gets here in 30 minutes – that's on you. My kids are downstairs – The kids have to leave in 15 minutes. Thank you very much,” he joked.
“It's not like the Oscars where people are getting awards. This is just for entertainment. This is no ordinary Hollywood party. Once it goes deeper people become more sensitive. [There] “There were random people kissing,” Fonseca said.
Fonseca also recalled that Chris Brown skipped a party at Diddy's with Amber Rose in 2009, when the rapper was being investigated for an alleged domestic violence crime for attacking then-girlfriend Rihanna.
“Chris Brown was hooking up with Amber Rose,” she recalled.
Fonseka also claimed that the guests appeared highly intoxicated and in ecstasy. However, she said, she did not see Diddy participate in any drug use herself.
Fonseca told The Post that party guests headed to Guy's Nightclub to continue the party.
Diddy is in jail awaiting trial After his arrest on charges Conspiracy to defraud, forced sex trafficking, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence
The hip hop mogul is also accused of abusing women and forcing them to engage in so-called “freak off” sexual performances, often involving sex workers – the indictment describes the performances as Diddy “arranged, directed, masturbated, During and often electronically recorded – to satisfy his sexual desires,” according to federal prosecutors.
The “Freak Offs” that Diddy is accused of organizing are separate and unrelated events to the white parties.
