In a recent video, actress and writer Jenny Mollen shared a revealing story from her past about how she turned down an invitation to one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous parties when she was just 19 years old. This recollection has gained more attention in light of Diddy’s recent arrest, which has brought his past behaviors into the spotlight.
Mollen, now 45, described in her video how she had the opportunity to hang out with Diddy during a time when he was at the height of his fame. The parties he hosted, often referred to as “freak-off” parties, were known for their wild atmosphere and controversial activities. Mollen’s choice to decline the invitation illustrates a wise decision, especially considering the troubling allegations that have come to light recently.
“Oh by the way, the Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs thing, I just wanted to tell you guys that one time when I was like 19, I was in San Diego and this guy came over and he’s like ‘My boss wants to meet you,’” She started.
“Not giving sex vibes,” the now-45-year-old pointed out. “He’s like this big, bouncer-looking guy.”
However, when she met Combs, Mollen described he was “very small” and was wearing “a fur coat kind of vibes-looking outfit.”
“He puts out his hand and he shakes my hands. He had the littlest hands I’ve ever felt, like not like Lazlo little,” she commented, comparing their size to her 7-year-old son, Lazlo.
“Maybe like a 12-year-old hand,” the “Third Wheel with Jenny Mollen” podcaster — who is married to “American Pie” star Jason Biggs — specified before adding that he then invited her up to his room for a party.
However, she denied his invitation.
“Guys, would I have been in a freak-off?” she asked before bursting out laughing. “Would I have been captured in his room […] and would there be footage of me to this day in sort of a crazy exploitative freak off?”
“So glad I didn’t go.”
On September 16, 2023, Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested at a Manhattan hotel and charged with several serious crimes, including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation for prostitution. According to a federal indictment, he is accused of creating a criminal enterprise that engaged in various illegal activities over the years.
As part of the investigation, law enforcement officials uncovered disturbing evidence during raids on Diddy’s homes. This included a staggering 1,000 bottles of lubricant and numerous weapons. Prosecutors claim that Diddy has abused and coerced women for decades, using intimidation to maintain control over his actions and protect his reputation.
“In or about March 2024, during searches of Combs’ residences in Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, California, law enforcement seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant,” the doc reads.
In addition to the criminal charges, Diddy is facing over a dozen lawsuits from various individuals. Notably, his ex-girlfriend Cassie has accused him of rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence. These serious allegations further paint a troubling picture of Diddy’s past conduct, suggesting a pattern of abuse and exploitation.
Despite the mounting evidence and accusations, Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the charges and vehemently denies the claims made against him. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being denied bail.
Jenny Mollen’s decision to avoid Diddy’s party reflects a keen awareness of her surroundings and a desire to steer clear of potential trouble. In sharing her experience, she highlights the stark contrast between her path and the troubling narratives surrounding figures like Diddy. Her story serves as a reminder of the choices individuals make in the face of celebrity culture and the often-hidden dangers that come with it.
