Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs accuser claims minors dressed as 'sexy' Harajuku Barbies at 'Freak Off' party

Article content

A woman who claims she attended one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged sex-crazed “Freak Off” parties says she saw minors dressed up like Barbie dolls at a 2018 event.

“I looked to the right of me and in the corner and I was like, ‘Are those midgets?’ Because people were over them, like people trying to hide what they’re doing,” Tanea Wallace alleged in TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs. “They’re all huddled up. But no, they were little people. Dressed up like Harajuku Barbies, red lipstick, looking like real sexy.”

Wallace, who is an aspiring singer, said she was invited to Combs’ get-together by a Saudi prince who flew her from L.A. to Miami. Even though she didn’t see what the minors and adults were doing, she said they “weren’t supposed to be there.”

She also alleged she saw adults having sex at the soiree, which raged until 7 a.m.

Combs’ lawyers denied Wallace’s allegations, telling the New York Post in a statement that they were “completely and categorically false.”

“Ms. Tanea Wallace has no credibility and her claims about ‘freak offs’ and minors are completely and categorically false,” the statement said.

“As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous. Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction.”

TMZ’s Harvey Levin spoke about Wallace’s allegations in an interview with NewsNation’s Ashleigh Banfield, saying that “it was very hard for her to say it.”

“She said these are little people who should not be at an adult party. They were minors,” Levin said. “She didn’t see anything specific going on with them, other than adults were huddled around them. She told a wild story about what was going on at the house. Even at 7 in the morning; this thing raged all night long.” 

Wallace’s allegation comes after Combs was hit with federal charges in September, including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Meanwhile, R&B singer Ray J, who was friends with the disgraced rap mogul, alleged in the TMZ doc that some high profile names are paying Combs’ accusers to avoid being named in any upcoming lawsuits.

“I’m hearing about artists paying victims to keep their names out of it,” the musical artist, who once appeared in a sex tape with Kim Kardashian, said. “Here’s what I do know, people do catch and kills all day… for the regular world, somebody has a truth, somebody pays you to keep it quiet and hopefully that money you got paid secures your happiness while you watch the lie continue to succeed.”

Levin told NewsNation that “there’s a lot of panic” in Hollywood surrounding the Combs case.

“That’s what we’re hearing. And people just don’t want the association, and they don’t want to talk about it. I think it’s that simple,” Levin said.

Last month, Tony Buzbee — who is representing more than 120 of Combs’ alleged victims — told TMZ that “big celebrities … are going to be sued for allegedly helping him carry out and cover up sexual assaults, unless they settle out of court.”

Since his arrest, Combs has been hit with a series of lawsuits, including one from a woman who claims he drugged and raped her when she was 13 years old as an unnamed “male celebrity” and “female celebrity” participated.

In the lawsuit obtained by Variety, Deadline and NBC News last month, a Jane Doe claims she was assaulted after attending a party that followed the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000 when she was 13. 

After the alleged assault, the woman says she “fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.”

In September, Thalia Graves held a news conference in which she asserted Combs and his bodyguard drugged and assaulted her in 2001, filming the attack.

In another legal claim, a personal trainer accused Combs of passing him “around like a party favour” at an awards show afterparty in June 2022.

One party planner said the three-time Grammy winner was very particular about the girls he wanted to see at his alleged “Freak Off” sex parties.

The organizer, who worked with Combs, 54, in 2004 and 2005, and asked to remain anonymous, told the New York Post last month that none of the women attending Combs’ bashes could weigh more than 140 pounds.

“The girls had to be young and hot, so I always had a scale nearby in case I needed to make sure. The number was 140 pounds, but if a girl was really tall, there was a little bit of discretion involved,” the source said.

Many of the abuse claims mirror accusations Combs’ former girlfriend Cassie Ventura made against the Bad Boy Records founder last fall.

The I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker’s lavish “White Parties” attracted a who’s who of Hollywood over the years since their inception in the late 1990s.

In the days after Combs’ arrest, photos emerged on social media showing such notable names as Jennifer Lopez (who dated the musician for two years), Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z, Ashton Kutcher and others attending his “White Parties.”

Celebrity PR expert Eric Schiffer says that celebrities are staying quiet about Combs’ bashes to preserve their own standing in Hollywood.

“Celebrities are silent because they are scared to death of their brands bleeding out with fans over ties to Diddy, and fear if they cross him, things could turn bad. Most are still best served by staying dark,” Schiffer, CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, told Postmedia.

Combs, who remains in custody ahead of his May 2025 trial date on the federal charges, launched a new bail appeal last Friday.

According to the Associated Press, Combs’ lawyers said “changed circumstances, along with new evidence,” mean the rapper should be allowed to prepare for his trial from outside of a jail cell.

In September, Marc Agnifilo, who is one of the attorneys representing Combs, hinted that his client will argue that any sexual encounters that occurred at his notorious “Freak Off” parties was consensual.

“They called them ‘Freak Offs,’ but back when I was a kid in the late ’70s, they were called threesomes,” Agnifilo told TMZ in their documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.
