Diddy's Ex-Assistant Reveals Shocking Secrets of 'Freak-Off' Parties

Bal Harbour, FL, USA - Brendan Paul, the former assistant to music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, took the stand on June 20, 2025, to provide a glimpse into the glamorous yet chaotic world surrounding the entertainment titan. His testimony comes as Diddy faces serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, that could land him in prison for the rest of his life.

Paul’s role in Diddy’s life was both unique and demanding. He described how he was tasked with “advancing” hotel locations ahead of Diddy’s arrival, a job that involved preparing rooms for what he referred to as “wild king nights” or “freak-offs.” These events, although he did not witness specific acts, were certainly party-centric affairs. His preparation checklist included baby oil, lubricant, condoms, candles, liquor, and special requests for room service to stock up on towels, sheets, and water. Paul claimed he often cleaned up after these late-night gatherings, wearing gloves and leaving tips for the hotel staff, but acknowledged that the rooms were frequently left in disarray, resulting in hefty damage fees. For instance, a staggering $6,000 was charged at Miami’s St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort for damages incurred in December 2021.

Details Emerge from the Trial

According to USA Today, Judge Arun Subramanian had to adjourn the trial twice recently due to a juror reporting vertigo-like symptoms. The jury experienced a two-day hiatus before returning to listen to Paul’s riveting testimony about his 2024 arrest for possessing cocaine—0.7 grams that he claimed he had forgotten was in his bag after cleaning a Diddy’s room. Though he was arrested, the charges were eventually dropped, but Paul expressed that he did not inform police about the drugs not belonging to him out of loyalty to Diddy.

While on the stand, Paul reiterated that drugs were merely a minor part of his duties, though he did recall procuring them for Diddy on multiple occasions. He maintained that he never acted as a drug mule. Interestingly, he recounted how he had been pulling in a salary of $76,000 before being bumped up to $100,000 for his grueling work, which often required him to clock in 80-100 hours a week, even advising him at one point to end his romantic relationship.

The Bigger Picture

A report by Business Insider highlights that this trial is not just a moment in the limelight for Diddy, but a critical juncture that could shape the future of his career. His legal team has yet to confirm if he will take the stand himself, but analysts are watching closely, considering the potential risks involved with cross-examination. Diddy has faced legal troubles before, having been acquitted of charges related to a 1999 nightclub shooting by presenting himself as a victim at that time.

As the courtroom drama unfolds, a variety of testimonies have come to light, including that of Casandra „Cassie“ Ventura Fine, further compounding the seriousness of the allegations against the 55-year-old music mogul. Prosecutors have put forth videos and personal messages from past years, aiming to paint a clearer picture of Diddy’s alleged actions during those so-called “freak-offs.” With the prosecution expected to wrap up its case by June 23 and the defense set to begin presenting its arguments shortly thereafter, the stakes remain exceptionally high.

As the world watches, many are left pondering what lies ahead for Diddy, a once-revered figure in music who now stands at the precipice of a legal odyssey that could reshape his legacy forever.
