Kourtney Kardashian has revealed that she was punched in the face while attending a star-studded party hosted by Sean Diddy Combs in 2001—a story that has resurfaced amid the music mogul’s ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
In a 2016 episode of the talk show Kocktails with Khloé, which has recently recirculated online, Kourtney, now 46, recounted the violent incident during Combs’ birthday celebration at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas.
I got socked in the face because I was waiting in line for the bathroom, she said. Diddy rented out the whole restaurant for his birthday. I was by myself, and some girl cut in front of me. I said, Excuse me, I’m next, and she just punched me in the face.
Kourtney explained that she had no one with her at the time and went into a bathroom stall in tears before running out to tell her sister, Khloé Kardashian, what had happened.
During the conversation, Diddy, who was a guest on the show alongside Khloé and Kylie Jenner, laughed and said he vaguely remembered someone getting socked” in line that night.
Khloé chimed in, recalling how she tried to find the woman responsible to defend her sister.
She also praised Combs’ reputation for throwing extravagant parties, saying, “When you think of a party or a good time, you think of Puff. We’ve been known to party with you a few times.
Diddy’s high-profile gatherings have long been part of his public image. In a 2014 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloé described one of his parties as so wild that half the people there were butt naked.
She also mentioned attending with celebrities like Quincy Brown and Justin Bieber.
Bieber’s name has since resurfaced in connection to Combs, following the federal investigation into the rapper’s alleged criminal activities.
The Canadian pop star recently issued a statement through a spokesperson denying any abuse by Combs, stating, “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.
Sources also told TMZ that Bieber, who was featured on Combs’ 2023 album The Love Album: Off the Grid, had no knowledge of the allegations at the time and would not have collaborated with Combs had he been aware.
According to insiders, Bieber has been disturbed by the unfolding legal developments and has chosen not to engage publicly, remaining silent since the raids on Combs’ properties in March.
Sean Combs has denied all allegations and is currently awaiting trial.
