Sean “Diddy” Combs’ childhood friend, Tim Patterson, has come forward with shocking claims about the environment in which they grew up. According to reports, Patterson alleges that Combs’ mother, Janice Combs, frequently hosted wild parties that exposed them to explicit content at a young age.
In the upcoming documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, Patterson recalls how these parties—filled with drugs and sexual activity—became a regular occurrence in their home. “Was it desensitizing us? I’m sure it was. Were we aware of it? No, that was just Saturday night,” he states in the film.
Patterson also described the presence of questionable individuals, including drug users, pimps, and figures involved in illegal activities. He claims Combs was surrounded by alcohol, drugs, and a wide range of influences that may have shaped his future behaviors.
“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 said.
The documentary, set to premiere on Peacock on January 14, 2025, will explore the impact of Combs’ upbringing on his personal and professional life. These revelations come as Combs remains incarcerated on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.
