By now, most people are aware of the ongoing “Diddy” saga. Now, we’re finding out more about who was involved. At least one very famous actor reportedly was not impressed by one of Diddy’s parties.
The Oscar-winning star Denzel Washington reportedly once stood up to Sean “Diddy” Combs after an all-night party back in 2003.
Washington Allegedly Confronted Diddy
A source who was close to Diddy, 54, in the early 2000s still remembers when Washington, 69, went off on the music mogul during an all-night gathering.
“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone,’” the insider told US Magazine.
“[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out,” the source continued.
Diddy was arrested last month and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. After pleading not guilty, he was denied bail and remanded to stay at the Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial.

Allegations Against Diddy
The 14-page indictment against Diddy has revealed some of the disturbing things he’s been accused of. He would allegedly orchestrate “Freak Offs,” which were “elaborate and produced sex performances” that typically took place in hotel rooms. Diddy allegedly “often electronically recorded” these “freak offs.”
Back in March, Diddy’s homes in Miami and Beverly Hills were raided by the authorities. During these raids, officials “seized various ‘Freak Off’ supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.”
The Houston attorney Tony Buzbeeore said on Tuesday that more than 100 accusers reportedly came forward alleging “rape, sexual assault and sexual exploitation” claims against Diddy. The youngest accuser is just 9 years-old.
“When we talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it’s shocking,” Buzbee said. “The youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was 9 years old. We have an individual who was 14 years old. We have one who was 15. Twenty-five of the 120 individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were minors at the time of the acts complained of.”
“The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure — damn sure — that we’re right before we do that,” he continued. “The names will shock you.”

Diddy Saw His Arrest Coming
Diddy had long been open about the fact that the parties he hosted could eventually lead to his arrest.
“They’re going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time,” Diddy said in 1999. “Whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. It’s a lot of people out there that feel intimidated by it.”
Washington has never spoken publicly about attending a Diddy party. The comedian Brandon T. Jackson, however, has said that Washington advised him to always leave Hollywood parties “before the devil get there.”
“Denzel always told me, [when] we be at the parties, ‘You leave 30 minutes before the devil get there. OK?’ Always remember that Denzel would leave the parties early,” Jackson said on the “Breaking the Machine” podcast back in January.
Others have spoken out about attending Diddy’s parties.
“My spidey senses were always on high alert,” Dr. LaJoyce Brookshire recalled of these events.
“And I know that there’s no safety after a certain hour when you’ve got drinks flowing and people behind your back doing drugs in bathrooms, and two or three people walking out of a bathroom together … so could there potentially be? Absolutely,” she continued. “Did I see it? No. I never stayed at the party late enough to see.”
Diddy is still claiming that he is innocent of everything that he’s been accused of doing. Only time will tell how this all turns out for him.
