Sean Combs is now facing a lawsuit with over 100 victims, in addition to the federal charges he’s now facing. Between the civil and criminal cases, we will soon hear the names of Combs’ predator friends and co-conspirators. We will hear who else took part in Combs’ “freak-offs” which involved drugs and rapes. I’m genuinely asking people to show some patience here – wait until we hear the names. Wait until Combs starts naming names too, because I doubt he will want to go down alone. It minimizes the crimes and the victims’ stories to act as if every single person to ever party with Combs is somehow guilty of being a predator. Combs partied with a lot of people. Very few of those people were invited to the freakoffs. Well, speaking of, Us Weekly has this story about Denzel Washington and his wife.

Denzel Washington once stood up to Sean “Diddy” Combs after an all-night party in 2003. A source who was friendly with Diddy, 54, in the early 2000s exclusively shared in the latest issue of Us Weekly that Oscar winner Washington, 69, and the music mogul got into it during an all-night gathering.

“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone,’” the insider recalled.

The incident ended in Washington storming out. “[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out,” the source added. Us Weekly reached out to Washington and Diddy’s reps for comment.

Years later, after facing several sexual assault and abuse allegations, Diddy was arrested in September. He was later charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. Diddy was denied bail after pleading not guilty and was remanded to stay at the Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial. He has denied all allegations.

We don’t know what Denzel saw, what the context was, or what else was said. We do know (from photos) that Denzel stayed friendly with Combs for a few years after whatever happened in 2003. That being said, there are no photos of Denzel and Combs hanging out in a social situation past 2004, unless you could Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration, where Combs was seated behind Denzel.
