A hotel manager who saw the room after one of Diddy's infamous "freak off" parties has revealed what was left in the room.
Prosecutors claim Sean "Diddy" Combs was running drug-fueled “freak offs”, a term repeatedly thrown around in the courtroom to describe what they called “elaborate and produced sex performances,” per Us Weekly.
These events allegedly took place in carefully staged hotel rooms, complete with candles, baby oil, and mood lighting.
The star is accused of exploiting his celebrity status to run a coercive sex crime ring, with allegations involving violence, threats, and drugs like MDMA and ketamine - all of which Diddy vehemently denies.
Frédéric Zemmour, general manager at the swanky L’Ermitage hotel in Los Angeles, took the stand this week and didn’t hold back.
He walked jurors through some jaw-dropping notes staff kept on the rapper’s stays.
Diddy did not use his real name on the bookings, opting for things like “Frank Black” and “Ryan Lopez", but the staff were aware of who he was, per the Washington Post.
“ALWAYS spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil,” one internal hotel note read. “Likes the room HOT! Please set thermostat to 75 degrees.”
Zemmour told the court that hotel employees were even instructed to label Diddy’s rooms as “out of order” once he left, so they could undergo deep cleaning.
The manager added that the rapper once got slapped with a $500 fine for “large deposits of candle wax” on hotel furniture.
The trial kicked off with an emotional testimony from Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend of over a decade.
She described the rapper as physically abusive and said he forced her into sex with male escorts during these so-called “freak offs.” She recalled having to heat up scented oils and prepare the rooms herself.
George Kaplan, one of Diddy’s former assistants, also testified that he was often tasked with prepping these rooms to specific requirements.
That included oils, candles, and a scorching room temp, because apparently, 75 degrees is the freak-off sweet spot.
Despite the firestorm of accusations, Diddy’s team is not backing down.
His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said: “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.
"To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Since the trial began on May 5, witnesses have included Cassie Ventura, Kid Cudi, and Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard. The legal battle is expected to stretch into early July.
