Jennifer Lopez has reportedly become a focal point of resentment for her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently being held without bail at Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial on a range of serious federal charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking.
Sources close to the disgraced music mogul claim that Combs, 55, feels Lopez has betrayed him by not offering public or private support during his legal ordeal. The two famously dated from 1999 to 2001 and maintained a cordial relationship for years after their split.
Combs allegedly furious over Lopez’s silence
According to a source familiar with Combs’ current state of mind, the former hip-hop executive believes Lopez owes him loyalty and has expressed frustration over her decision not to serve as a character witness.
“He’s been saying she’s disloyal for not stepping forward, and she’s at the top of his revenge list if he gets out of jail,” said the source, who also noted that Combs feels responsible for launching Lopez’s early career. “He believes she has him to thank for her success and should be standing by him.”
Lopez, 55, has not publicly commented on the charges against Combs or her relationship with him in recent years. Insiders say she has cut all ties and has no intention of getting involved.
History of allegations
Combs is facing multiple charges that span decades, including allegations of sexual assault, abuse, and coercion. The allegations describe a dark underside to Combs’ lavish lifestyle, with court testimony detailing so-called “Freak-Offs” — alleged drug-fueled sex parties involving celebrities, models, and sex workers. In one of the most disturbing accounts, a woman testified that Combs dangled her off a balcony and threatened to kill her.
Authorities reportedly recovered a cache of weapons, drugs, and sex-related paraphernalia during a raid on Combs’ Miami property. Photographs of the items, including disassembled firearms and thousands of bottles of baby oil, have shocked jurors and law enforcement alike.
No evidence ties Lopez to alleged crimes
There is no suggestion that Lopez had any knowledge of the alleged activities or criminal conduct involving Combs. However, she has faced online criticism, including from her ex-husband Ojani Noa, who insinuated in a social media post that Lopez attended one of Combs’ parties, a claim she has not addressed publicly. In past interviews, Lopez had spoken positively about Combs, once saying in 2014 that he “taught me so many things.” But according to sources close to the singer and actress, those sentiments no longer hold. “Mentioning Diddy around her is strictly off-limits now,” one insider said. “She’s done staying quiet to protect her image he’s become toxic, and the entire industry knows it.”
Combs’ legal troubles have led to a dramatic unraveling of his public image. Former associates, including celebrities like Jamie Foxx and Ashton Kutcher, are said to be distancing themselves. Some, once regular guests at his parties, have remained publicly silent or declined to comment since the charges surfaced. The ongoing trial is expected to feature more graphic and potentially damaging testimony. Lopez, who has remained focused on her career and personal life, is said to be uninterested in revisiting her past with Combs, especially under the shadow of such serious allegations. “She’s not intimidated,” said one source close to Lopez. “She’s completely done with him.”
