Danica Patrick has shared a teaser video of the latest episode of her Pretty Intense podcast featuring Drea de Matteo. In the small clip she has shared, Patrick asks the Hollywood actor if she ever went to a Diddy party and she replied in the affirmative.
Danica Patrick had an illustrious motorsports career, having spent almost 20 years in different series around the world. In 2008, she became the first ever woman to win an IndyCar race with Andretti. Later on in her career, she also went over to NASCAR to apply her trade in stock-car racing.
After her retirement in 2018, Patrick has become a media personality and one of her business ventures has been her podcast, named Pretty Intense. She often invites guests from different walks of life, including motorsports, show business and even politics.
On Thursday, she released a teaser video of her new episode featuring Hollywood actor Drea de Matteo, in which she talks about staying away from other members of the film industry. Patrick then asks the 'Sopranos' star if she ever went to a Diddy party.
"You didn't go to a Diddy party?" asked Patrick.
"I did. Oh I did that. Hold on, I went back when his name was Puff Daddy. I met Michael Jackson at a Puffy party." replied de Matteo.
With her question, Patrick was referring to one of rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs' infamous parties, that used to extravagant affairs and had many Hollywood stars in attendance. These parties had allegedly become the grounds for illicit activities, as accused by the prosecutors in the sexual misconduct cases levied against Combs.
The 53-year-old actor mentioned that she went to the parties during the 1990s and 2000s, when Diddy was known as 'Puff Daddy'.

Some of the names from Hollywood who endorsed Harris were Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Leonardo Di Caprio. All these, and others, have all been spotted at Diddy parties in the past.
