Sharon Osbourne isn’t surprised by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegations
Former judge of The X Factor, Sharon Osbourne, has recently spoken out about the allegations facing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and revealed that she is not surprised by the accusations that have come in his direction.
The Osbourne matriarch, who has lived in the US for many decades, said that although Combs was always respectful with her and her family, the allegations don’t shock her despite their cordial relationship.
The Bad Boy Founder is currently being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, New York City’s only federal jail, and awaits trial for severe allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and involvement in prostitution.
Allegations continue to be levelled against the Press Play creator, and, most recently, a series of lawsuits concerning sexual assault were filed at the Southern District of New York Federal Court, with one case alleging the emcee was involved sexually with a 16-year-old boy. Combs has denied all of the allegations against him, and plans to plead not guilty.
Furthermore, on October 14th, six new lawsuits were filed by Tony Buzbee documenting alleged rape, sexual coercion of males, and child molestation, presented by six individuals, two women identified as Jane Does and four men referred to as John Does.
Despite their cordial relationship, Osbourne admitted in an interview that her family were never guests at the now-infamous white parties as the Ciroc owner seemed to have a respect for the family so high he seemingly didn’t want to involve them in what is now being alleged.
In an interview with MailOnline, Osbourne said, “He was so nice to me, I never knew that side of him. He was so respectful to me and my family, it’s not like he’s ever going to invite an older f*****g woman to a White Party!” Speaking on the fact that there are over 120 allegations, she continued, “There’s a lot of power and money, it doesn’t surprise me.”
Although she is not surprised about the rapper’s allegations, in a 2003 episode of her TV show The Osbournes, Sharon did mention the mogul suggesting that he and her daughter Kelly, would have made a “cute couple.”
In the episode, Osbourne said, “So Kelly went out last night and apparently Puff Daddy’s security guard bumped into her and knocked her on the floor and then Puff Daddy picked her up and put her on the table and apologized. He was really nice to her and told her she doesn’t wear enough diamonds and that he was going to get her a diamond watch,” she added that he “smells good, he dresses nice, he’s fine.”
