Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged "freak off" parties were a major topic of discussion during his trial earlier this year, so it's not surprising that they also play a role in the new docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning. In the third episode of the Netflix series, former male escort Clayton Howard details his alleged encounters with Diddy, 56, and then-girlfriend Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura). Howard claims the duo hired him to participate in dayslong, drug-fueled sex parties that Diddy referred to as freak offs. "I went to see them every two, three weeks. I was involved with this for a little over eight years," Howard says in the series, claiming that he was paid $6,000 for his first encounter with the pair. "[Cassie] would ask [Diddy] if she was allowed to give me fellatio, and he would always agree," Howard alleged. "That might last an hour or so until she and I could have sex, and he would either consent or tell her she wasn't ready. The process was always heavily regulated by him." Diddy Escort Claims Last Freak Offs With Cassie Were 'Evil' During her testimony against Diddy in May, Cassie, now 39, claimed that freak offs took place so often that they "became a job" for her. She further alleged that the 2016 video of Diddy physically assaulting her inside the InterContinental Hotel showed her attempting to leave a freak off. Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty and denied all the allegations against him. Netflix In July, a jury convicted him on two counts of transportation but acquitted him of the other charges. Three months later, he was sentenced to 50 months, or just over four years, in prison with five years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a $500,000 fine. Diddy slammed the docuseries in a statement shared with Us Weekly via his spokesperson on Monday, December 1. "Netflix's so-called 'documentary' is a shameful hit piece. Today's GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release," the statement read. "As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work. Netflix is plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs' life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy. If Netflix cared about truth or about Mr. Combs's legal rights, it would not be ripping private footage out of context - including conversations with his lawyers that were never intended for public viewing. No rights in that material were ever transferred to Netflix or any third party." Cassie Addresses Claim That Diddy Dangled a Woman Over Balcony in Testimony The statement continued, "It is equally staggering that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson - a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs. Beyond the legal issues, this is a personal breach of trust. Mr. Combs has long respected Ted Sarandos and admired the legacy of Clarence Avant. For Netflix to give his life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades feels like an unnecessary and deeply personal affront. At minimum, he expected fairness from people he respected." Director Alexandria Stapleton previously said she had acquired the footage legally. "It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights," she claimed to Netflix's Tudum last month. "We moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker's identity confidential. One thing about Sean Combs is that he's always filming himself, and it's been an obsession throughout the decades." Keep scrolling for more revelations from Sean Combs: The Reckoning. No Tupac Songs During Freak Offs Howard claimed that during his first alleged freak off, Diddy told Cassie to skip a song by Tupac Shakur. "I remember the first night, a Tupac song would come on. He said, 'Babe, change that,'" Howard recalled. "And she would change it." When asked whether there were any other artists Diddy asked to skip, Howard claimed that Shakur was the only one who caused that reaction. Shakur, who was murdered in 1996 at age 25, was signed to Death Row Records, a record label cofounded by Diddy's rival Suge Knight. Rumors have circulated for years that Diddy was responsible for Shakur's murder. He has repeatedly and vehemently denied any involvement in Shakur's death.
