Former Playboy model Rachel Kennedy claimed that Sean “Diddy” Combs made her watch videos of his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez during an encounter nearly 25 years ago.
Kennedy allegedly met Diddy, now 54, in 2000 at a topless club in Tokyo in 2000, where she was employed as a dancer. After Diddy’s evening in the venue, he reportedly invited her and some friends back to his hotel for the night.
“I realized before we even walked through the front door that it was just him,” Kennedy recalled to the Daily Mail in an interview published on Friday, November 1. “I was like, ‘This is not a party. This is not the kind of party that we were all expecting.’”
When Kennedy walked into the room, Diddy had turned one of Lopez’s music videos on a continuous loop. He was also allegedly on the phone with the “Waiting for Tonight” singer, now 55, throughout the evening. (Diddy and Lopez dated between 1991 and 2001.)
“It was kind of an odd thing to find out that we were watching her videos,” Kennedy said. “It seemed a little bit creepy to me, very disrespectful since we were already in his room, and there was no party going on.”
Later that evening, Diddy allegedly instructed Kennedy and her pals to perform oral sex.
“He took us to the bedroom and proceeded to get naked,” Kennedy recalled. “He instructed us to go down on him. And we just, we both did. We had quite a bit of champagne at that point. And we just did what he said. It wasn’t forceful. There’s nothing forceful about it. It was just, he’s like, ‘This is what I want.’ And both me and the other girl proceeded to pleasure him that way.”
Neither Diddy nor Lopez have publicly addressed Kennedy’s allegations. Us Weekly reached out for comment.
Diddy was indicted by a grand jury in September, shortly before he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. A 14-page indictment, which cited the rapper’s wild parties dubbed “Freak-Offs” as proof, claimed that Diddy allegedly “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades.
Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges before a judge denied him bail on three separate attempts. He was remanded to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial, which is currently scheduled for early 2025.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told Us in a statement. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.”
