The Powerful Celebs Who Acted as Diddy’s Human Shield
After decades of courting and mixing with figures of the highest echelons of celebrity, influence, and power, Sean “Diddy” Combs is behind bars following his indictment on three charges for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
But how could Combs, who—according to court documents and witness claims—orchestrate a far-reaching sex trafficking enterprise, garner a threatening reputation for blowing up the vehicles of his adversaries, and assaulting his lovers and employees, and more—have evaded justice for as long as authorities say these activities have gone on for? One very important strategy for Combs, it seems, was to use his relationships with the rich and famous as a shield.
Combs is a hip-hop figurehead who infiltrated the fashion world to the point that he was able to convince industry icons like Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, and more to lend their voices to his rap album, Last Train To Paris. The album’s interludes were a triumph of Combs’ in displaying the reach he’d achieved within that industry. Though some close to Combs have denied ever witnessing him participate in the egregious activities he’s been accused of, which according to his indictment include trafficking people for the purposes of soliciting sex and forcibly drugging and threatening victims into participating in his elaborate sex performances, it stands to reason that at some point over the last couple of decades more than one powerful person had witnessed evidence of his alleged wrongdoing.
