Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she and Sean “Diddy” Combs were formerly neighbors — while comparing him to Harvey Weinstein.
“Although I only met him once, he did invite me to his Recent Yr’s Eve party, which I consider everybody was wearing white, but we didn’t know,” O’Donnell, 62, said in a recent TikTok video. “We had on, like, sweatpants, me and my family and my kids.”
O’Donnell claimed they weren’t let into the party. “They didn’t allow us to in,” she said. “The doormen were, like, us. I’m like, ‘No, no. He invited me yesterday. I live right there. My daughter saw him on the road and we talked.’ No, we couldn’t are available.”
The next day, O’Donnell alleged that Diddy, 54, called her and “felt so bad.”
Celebrities are weighing in following the recent arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The music mogul was taken into custody in Recent York on September 16. The next day, a 14-page indictment alleging that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” was made public. The rapper has since entered a not guilty plea […]
“He rented out the Regal Cinema for me and my family to see any movie we wish, the complete day, in any theater, every time we wanted, which was so unbelievably excessive and extraordinary,” she recalled. “I never spoke to him before or after that.”
News broke earlier this month that Diddy was arrested and remanded to remain on the Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial. O’Donnell, for her part, noted that she’s “just type of in shock.”

“I do know that there’s perhaps a naivete to me ultimately,” O’Donnell said. “But I believe, how could an individual live knowing that that they had done that after which be a public person and proceed to do it? Didn’t he feel, like, the footsteps of the law behind him in any respect times?”
O’Donnell continued, “Or do you only get to be so big — like Harvey Weinstein did — that he thought, ‘Well I control Hollywood. I control the Oscars. I can sleep with any actress I would like, whether or not they wish to or not.’”
The previous talk show host wondered how Diddy didn’t “consider [himself] a rapist.” She added, “It’s very disturbing. And you then begin to think, how many individuals really knew that?”
Diddy was arrested earlier this month and detained on the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he’ll stay until his trial. He has been denied bail two times and pleaded not guilty to the costs.

Sooner or later following his arrest, a 14-page indictment was unsealed and detailed several accusations against the rapper. Per the indictment, Diddy would orchestrate “Freak Offs” which were “elaborate and produced sex performances” often happening in hotel rooms. Diddy allegedly “masturbated during, and infrequently electronically recorded” them.
Evidence of this was allegedly uncovered in his Miami and Beverly Hills homes, which were raided in March. The indictment noted that law enforcement “seized various ‘Freak Off’ supplies, including narcotics and greater than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.”
Years before two of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes were raided in connection to a federal sex trafficking investigation, there was conversation about what went on on the rapper’s residences. After the March 2024 raid made headlines, a clip resurfaced of Usher recalling his experience living with Diddy as an adolescent. “I got a probability to […]
O’Donnell, for her part, noted that “it’s very upsetting.” She added, “Sex trafficking? That’s serious, man. After which they found 1,000 bottles of baby oil. I’m gonna be fascinated with that the remaining of my life.”
O’Donnell confessed that she wouldn’t have thought Weinstein, 72, was a “rapist” if someone had asked her before the #MeToo movement. (Weinstein was first accused of sexual assault and harassment in 2017. He has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty. In 2020, he was sentenced to 23 years in prison after he was convicted of rape. His sentencing was overturned by the Recent York State Court of Appeals in April and he’s currently awaiting retrial in Manhattan Criminal Court in November.)
“I’d have said, ‘No. He runs Miramax. You’re thinking that he is also a rapist? What’s he, Clark Kent? He gets in a cape and he’s someone different,’” O’Donnell said. “Give me a break, too many individuals know him. Too many individuals could be involved. Too many individuals would should take part in that to ensure that it to be true.”
She continued, “Well, people did. People do.”
