Inside the Alleged ‘Freak Offs’ at Center of Sex Crimes Charges Against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Prosecutors say the “freak offs” would sometimes last several days and would often feature multiple commercial sex workers. Combs would allegedly keep some of the videos taken during the sex acts, which was not always known to the victims, the indictments claim.
Combs would also allegedly supply drugs to the victims in order to ensure compliance.
The indictment claims that when the exhausting “freak offs” would conclude, both Combs and the alleged victims would often receive IV fluids to recover from both the exertion and the drug use.

Members of Combs’ business, including high-ranking people, were also involved in arranging the “freak offs” by arranging travel, booking and stocking hotel rooms with supplies, cleaning the rooms afterward as well as resupplying Combs with supplies, delivering cash to pay sex workers and scheduling delivery of IV fluids, per the indictment.
Prosecutors say that after raiding Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles in March, authorities found “freak off supplies,” which included drugs and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
The alleged “freak offs” were also mentioned in a lawsuit filed in November 2023 by Diddy’s ex, singer, Cassie, who claimed she was forced to participate in them. That lawsuit was the first in a wave of others filed in the past year, culminating with the indictment filed this week.
