At one point, an invite to one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ annual all-white parties was a symbol of status and exclusivity. Now, a slew of disturbing allegations against the disgraced Hip-Hop mogul is shifting attention back on what exactly went down during these functions, which are now under federal investigation.
Justin Litovsky remembers the time his parents took him to a Diddy party in July 1999, when he was just 6 years old. According to the now 30-year-old Litovsky, Diddy’s all-white parties in the Hamptons were full of celebrity guests, drugs, and women galore.
“I remember a lot of weed and a bunch of topless women in the pool and around the pool,” Litovsky told The New York Post. Apparently, he was one of few— if not the only — children in attendance, which he said bothered him. “I don’t remember seeing one other child,” Livosky recalled. “I’m normally the type to want to go play [with other kids].”
Livosky’s parents, Maya Livosky and David Allen, were invited to attend the party. Allen was a photographer at the time, snapping pictures of party guests and the festivities of Combs’ function. The star-studded guest list included celebrities like Jay-Z, Tyson Beckford, Lil’ Kim and Donna Karan.
Livosky’s mother told the Post “there were bottles everywhere and naked women. I wasn’t sure if this was appropriate or normal.” Maya continued saying “I wondered about how kids were allowed into the party to begin with.”
Years after the Livosky family graced Diddy’s party, the Bad Boy CEO would put in place a “kid curfew” for his not-so-kid-friendly events, according to the Daily Mail. But even decades after he attended the party, Livosky still can’t forget what he saw.
He even posed for a picture alongside Diddy. “I don’t look like I have a normal smile in the pic,” Livosky said, alluding to him possibly being disturbed by the adult activities surrounding him.
Diddy’s federal indictment more than likely marks the official end of the notorious all-white parties and ominous “freak-offs.” The rapper is now behind bars facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
