Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently facing trial on multiple charges, and he seems to be lacking support from his high-profile acquaintances. Many celebrities appear hesitant to associate with him, and there are rumors suggesting that Combs may have damaging information about various industry figures that could be revealed.
Diddy’s Famous Friends Are Mostly Keeping Quiet
Facing serious charges such as racketeering, prostitution-related transportation, and forced sex trafficking, Diddy has denied the accusations. He remains in custody as he awaits trial scheduled for May.
Despite building numerous connections during his ascent in the entertainment industry, Combs has not received much sympathy from his peers in light of the allegations. Recently, a source shed light on the prevailing sentiments among his former friends.
In a conversation with In Touch, the source mentioned, “It’s not like they’ve been going around trashing him, but everyone’s been giving him a seriously wide berth. He’s radioactive at this point, even if he hasn’t been found guilty, his name is mud, and it would social suicide to have anything to do with him.”
The source claimed that Combs initially expected his friends in the industry to stand by him. As it was noted, “He’s still in total denial and actually expected all his high-profile friends, and even his exes like J. Lo and Cameron, to stand up for him.” The source continued, “He can’t wrap his head around the fact that everyone’s just dropped him.”
Rumors Suggest Combs Has Evidence Against Many Celebrities
It was noted that there was “a legitimate fear among a huge swath of people in Hollywood…that he could seriously embarrass them if he decides to talk about what they shared with him back in the day.” However, “their hands are tied, it’s not like they can reach out to him, and showing any kind of support for him is out of the question.”
According to the source, Combs’ former friends are also at risk in another way. “Of course, all the rumors that he’s kept meticulous records, and even video recordings, of all the crazy stuff that went on at his big parties over the years is only adding to everyone’s panic. The word is he’s got enough dirt to hang half of Hollywood.”

While Combs is awaiting trial, he also faces as many as 120 lawsuits. Combs also faces lawsuits that came out earlier in 2024. Lawyer Tony Buzbee has confirmed that additional defendants are being added. As he shared, “The names that we’re going to name…are names that will shock you.” However, he added that’s “assuming our investigators confirm and corroborate what we’ve been told.”
