Oprah Winfrey and Bishop T.D. Jakes took some time out Thursday (June 18) during the Good Soil Forum in Dallas to address rumors that they attended Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous parties before he was arrested in September on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
In a widely circulated clip online, Winfrey is seen saying she’s “never been near a Puff party,” adding, “And anybody who knows me knows if there is a party, I am the first one out.”
Jakes then shares that, while he’s stopped by a Diddy party in the past to wish the fallen mogul a happy birthday, he only stayed for 30 minutes before making his exit. Surprisingly, Jakes also denied long-standing rumors that he and Diddy carried on some type of “love affair.”
“You, too?” Winfrey sarcastically responded to rumor.
“Yes!” Jakes replied. “I am almost 70 years old, what do I look like? And I am a grandfather. What do I look like at this late date?” See the moment between Jakes and Winfrey below.
The subject of which celebrities have attended Diddy’s infamous parties over the years has become a hot one, as several witnesses within his current sex trafficking trial have testified to witnessing or participating in his “Freak Off” sex parties. Both ex-girlfriends and former employees have testified regarding the nefarious nature of the gatherings.
Jamie Foxx also addressed rumors of attending Diddy parties in his Netflix standup special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was, where he joked of always leaving the celebrity-packed shindigs early.
“The internet was trying to kill me, though. The internet said Puffy tried to kill me. I know what you’re thinking, did he?” he quipped. “Hell, nah ni**a, I left those parties early. I was out by 9 ni**a, something don’t look right ni**a. It’s slippery in here.”
