Oprah Winfrey Responds To Rumors Linking Her To Diddy’s Controversial Parties

Oprah Winfrey is setting the record straight following viral rumors and AI-generated images falsely claiming she attended Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous parties.

Speaking candidly during the Good Soil Forum in Dallas, the media mogul categorically denied any involvement and expressed concern over the spread of misinformation.

“I have never been near a Puff party,” Winfrey said emphatically. “Anybody who knows me knows if there is a party, I’m the first one out.” She went on to describe her preference for quiet evenings at home, nestled by the fireplace with her dogs, reinforcing, “That is not who I am.”

Winfrey also revealed she has been working with YouTube to remove explicit, AI-manipulated images that falsely depict her at Diddy’s gatherings. She called the situation “troubling and invasive,” spotlighting the growing dangers posed by artificial intelligence in the age of digital disinformation.

Joining her onstage was Bishop T.D. Jakes, who also addressed rumors about his alleged presence at Diddy’s so-called “Freak Offs.” Jakes admitted he once stopped by Diddy’s house for a brief birthday visit during the day — a 30-minute appearance he says was misconstrued. “I am almost 70 years old. What do I look like? I am a grandfather,” he said, brushing off salacious speculation.

Both Winfrey and Jakes criticized the culture of scandal and gossip dominating digital platforms, warning that such distractions are pulling focus from more meaningful conversations and societal progress.

Their remarks come amid a federal investigation into Diddy, involving allegations of sex trafficking and other serious accusations. As the legal scrutiny intensifies, public figures have found themselves inadvertently swept into the controversy — often fueled by AI-generated content and online rumor mills.
