Karrine Steffans says she’s unsure if she ever had sex with Diddy.
During a sit-down with Piers Morgan, the former video vixen reflected on her interactions with the Bad Boy mogul, recalling how he behaved at parties and around others. Steffans, who made waves in the mid-2000s with her Vixen book series exposing the darker sides of the hip-hop world and her own encounters with big-name stars like Diddy, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne, opened up about their complicated dynamic.
At one point, she remembered Diddy asking if they were friends and warning that if anything ever got out, it could seriously impact his family. She also claimed Diddy once told her boyfriend at the time that he couldn’t fully trust her—something she said left her confused, unsure of what Diddy was hinting at.
Eventually, Steffans admitted she couldn’t quite recall whether they had ever been intimate.
“No, Diddy and I… not to my knowledge. Honestly, I’m questioning a lot of things right now, but not to my knowledge,” she told Morgan. “No, I don’t think anything right now, not to my knowledge.”
Morgan pointed out that Steffans’ response sounded “strange,” a description she agreed with, attributing it to her hesitance to revisit her past with Diddy. When asked if she believed Diddy may have taken advantage of her while she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, she once again said she couldn’t say for sure.
While many civil suits against Diddy have included claims that he drugged and assaulted women, such allegations weren’t part of his federal criminal case. However, Cassie Ventura did testify that she and Diddy would often use GHB, commonly known as the “date rape drug,” together.
“To my knowledge, I never had sex with Sean Combs. We never had that kind of relationship,” Steffans initially stated. But then, she backtracked, admitting she wasn’t entirely certain it never happened.
Earlier this month, Diddy was found guilty of transporting individuals for the purpose of prostitution, though he was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He remains in prison awaiting sentencing on October 3, after Judge Arun Subramanian ruled he would not be released on bond.
