Following the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs, Hollywood has come to a standstill, with many keeping an eye on the ongoing investigation into the music mogul’s empire and life. While several celebrities have spoken out about his arrest, many close to him have remained silent — and political commentator Candace Owens is not happy about it.
In a lengthy YouTube live, Owens made several harsh and cruel statements about the events following Diddy’s arrest. While he praised Justin Bieber as a child victim, the media personality attacked NBA star LeBron James for remaining silent after praising the imprisoned musician’s partying.
Though trouble in Diddy’s paradise has been brewing for some time, it got worse when the mogul was arrested and charged with human trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. Now in jail pending his trial, federal authorities are conducting an extensive investigation (via Rolling Stone ).
Amid all this, those close to the music mogul are conveniently tight-lipped — or as one source close to Fox News claims, “scared to death” that they participated in Diddy’s illicit sex parties called Freak Offs . While we don’t know which of Diddy’s many parties were Freak Offs , we do know that celebrities like LeBron James have attended his parties (see PageSix ).
James has managed to maintain a clean slate for most of his career, but it seems he’s now hit a snag and finds himself in the middle of one of the biggest scandals in Hollywood. Having attended Diddy’s parties in the past (see TMZ ), he once even praised the I Need a Girl hitmaker for throwing the best parties. “Everybody knows there’s no party like Diddy’s,” the NBA star claimed in an Instagram live (via X ). As recordings of James’ old remarks went viral, many saw his comment in a new light, given the details of what went down at those parties. While some found it hard to believe, others on social media surfaced videos of him with Diddy at his parties (see X ).

Candace Owens has never shied away from verbally attacking celebrities or calling them to account. Recently, an alleged memoir by Kim Porter was found on retail sites, consisting of purported journals from the late model and Diddy’s ex. Now a bestseller on Amazon (see Billboard ), Owens discussed the book and Diddy’s arrest in a YouTube livestream.
In the video, the media personality spoke out about Justin Bieber and called him a “child victim,” associating his past problematic behavior with Diddy. While she forgave Bieber, she made scathing comments about NBA legend LeBron James and his silence following the music mogul’s arrest.
It seems like everything is falling apart in Hollywood. There are a lot of people who should be called out, people who weren’t young like Justin Bieber, people like LeBron James who has been very vocal about how great Diddy’s parties are, traveling with Diddy.
Owens didn’t stop there and attacked James’ “king” status:
“This person is supposed to be the King. I am waiting for ‘the King’ to come out and condemn this, condemn what we all now know to be a reality.”
Although James has yet to comment, a source close to Bieber told PEOPLE that the 30-year-old singer is focused on himself and his family and does not want to comment on Diddy.
With so much going on in Hollywood and the investigation into the allegations against Diddy ongoing, only time will tell how this will all end for the music mogul and everyone close to him.
