It all started when Wilkinson, 39, opened up about how much fun she had at Diddy’s parties shortly after the rapper was locked behind bars for alleged sex trafficking charges as well as other crimes such as coercion, abuse, and blackmail.
The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ singer was arrested earlier this month in Manhattan, New York, about half a year after federal authorities carrying out a sex trafficking investigation raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
Diddy has been sued by a handful of people, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who alleged that the disgraced star abused them physically and/or emotionally.

While many have started speaking out against the high-profile musician, Wilkinson, a former Playboy model who opened up about surviving years of abuse at the hands of her ex Hugh Hefner, took to social media to rave about being invited to a few of the parties, stating that she had fun at the star-studded events during an episode of on Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O’s podcast.

“I remember just going to like, one or two,” she said about the Sean John founder’s infamous parties.
“But like again, like, I had a great time in my youth,” the Kendra On Top alum continued, adding she “never” witnessed “anything really bad happening around” her.
“Sex is sex in my opinion,” the model said.
“I’m not saying that something bad didn’t happen,” Wilkinson added. “I’m saying that nothing bad ever happened to me.”
The star’s comments provoked a strong reaction from fans, with many slamming her for her insensitivity surrounding the topic given the allegations that have surfaced.
Taking to Instagram via Threads, she clarified: “Sorry guys. I was just answering questions about Playboy mansion parties and it all combined with diddy party talk. I’ve only been to a few parties with him there back in the day. I didn’t have time to think about the right answer regarding these horrible charges allegations.
“I pray for the victims and justice,” she added.

The Bad Boy Records founder pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and is currently being held at a detention center in Brooklyn, NY, after being denied bail, as per Page Six.
Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, also revealed his client plans on testifying when a court date is set and is “very eager to tell his story.”
