A resurfaced clip from 2016 featuring reality star Kourtney Kardashian has gone viral, in which she recounts being punched in the face during a wild party hosted by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at TAO nightclub in 2001. The revelation comes at a sensitive time, as the music mogul currently faces serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. The incident was discussed on an episode of Khloé Kardashian’s now-defunct talk show Kocktails with Khloé, where Kourtney appeared alongside her sister Kylie Jenner and Diddy himself. Kourtney, now 46, described the chaotic night at TAO, which had been fully rented out by Diddy for his birthday celebration. “I got socked in the face ’cause I was waiting in line for the bathroom,” Kourtney said. “It was for his birthday. I was like, ‘Excuse me, I’m next,’ and she literally just went, like, boom right in the face.”
What happened to Kourtney Kardashian at Diddy’s party?
Kourtney revealed that she was alone at the time of the altercation and emotionally overwhelmed. “I didn’t know what to do. Nobody was with me. I was by myself,” she said. After the unidentified woman left, Kourtney retreated into the bathroom stall and began crying. She later rushed out to tell Khloé, who joked about wanting to track the woman down and “beat her up” for hurting her sister. The conversation also touched on Diddy’s reputation for throwing over-the-top parties. “When you think of a party or a good time, you think of Puff,” Khloé noted, to which Diddy nodded in agreement. Kourtney and Khloé recalled his penchant for extravagance, including sending out CDs as birthday invitations. In another episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians from 2014, Khloé reminisced about attending a Diddy party with Justin Bieber, saying: “Half the people there were butt naked… You would have loved it!”
Diddy faces federal sex-trafficking trial
The resurfaced clip adds to the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding Diddy, who is currently on trial in New York City. The 55-year-old music mogul faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals to engage in prostitution. The trial is expected to continue for up to 10 weeks. In light of online speculation involving Justin Bieber, a representative for the singer issued a statement to TMZ, clarifying: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him.” They further urged the public not to detract from the seriousness of the victims’ experiences. Diddy has denied all charges brought against him.
