“He was around all types of alcohol” — Diddy’s childhood friend claims the Bad Boy Records founder’s mom threw lewd parties at home

Sean "Diddy" Combs' childhood friend Tim Patterson, who reportedly lived in the same house with Combs, claimed his mother, Janice Combs, would host wild s*x parties often in the new documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.

Patterson revealed that the parties overexposed them to s*x and desensitized them. Since they were kids then, they did not realize its effect on their minds. For them, the s*x parties were the norm.

"Was it desensitizing us? I'm sure it was. Were we aware of it? No, that was just Saturday night."

Patterson mentioned that people often ask him the reason behind Combs' actions. He knew deep down that his past was connected to his actions.

"He was around all types of alcohol; he was around reefer smoke. Drug addicts around, lesbians around, homosexuals, he was around pimps, pushers. That was just who was in our house," Patterson added.

He also alleged that people of questionable backgrounds from Harlem were present at the parties, and it wasn't uncommon to come across naked adults doing s*xual acts at the house.

Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is a 90-minute documentary that will start streaming on Peacock from January 14 onwards. According to The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer Ari Mark hesitated to make a documentary on Combs.

However, once he talked to Ariel Mitchell, the attorney representing several lawsuits against the mogul, and Tim "Dawg" Patterson, Combs' friend, he realized he needed to tell the story of his childhood. Mark told The Hollywood Reporter that he plans to give viewers a glimpse of Combs' wild childhood, which shaped his psyche.

"We all have an origin story [and] we learned about his upbringing, we learned about him as an outcast, we learned about his bullying, the environment he grew up in … and by zooming out and by taking a more psychological approach, a sociological approach, it felt like we could say something a little bit bigger by presenting that information."

The documentary features interviews with those who closely observed Combs, including journalists, friends, associates, a former bodyguard, makeup artist Sara Rivers, and singer-songwriter Al B. Sure! For the first time, Al B. Sure!, who dated Kim Porter before Combs, shares his perspective.

Known for his viral social media comments on Combs' case, Al B. Sure! connected with Mark for the documentary through Peacock, as Mark shared with The Hollywood Reporter.

The documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy will air on Peacock on January 14, 2025.
