Not too many kind words have been said about Sean “Diddy” Combs over the past year and a half. But amid his federal trial for his alleged role in a trafficking ring, Diddy appears to have at least one ally. That being his neighbor — singer and actress Gloria Estefan.

Gloria Estefan Comes to Diddy’s Defense
The music mogul is facing a slew of charges. However, the most explosive accusation is that Diddy would host wild parties at his home called “freak offs” — where the alleged trafficking would take place. However, Estefan says that she hasn’t seen Combs exhibit any behaviour that would indicate that anything illegal was happening in his home. In addition she says that Diddy has never visited her home. And she has never visited his.
“Diddy was a neighbor. He was always very kind to us, and his mom, spectacular. But we never were in his house or he in ours,” the actress said in a statement to TMZ.
Earlier this year, another victim came forward with a lawsuit against the music mogul. Alleging that they were the victim of a humiliation ritual where they were forced to wear a penis mask.
That lawsuit alleged that the humiliation ritual happened at the home of Gloria and her husband, Emilio. Gloriai is also denying those claims.
“Nothing happened at my house, ever, ever,” she said.
Estefan also added: “So I just hope [Diddy] gets in front of this.”
The victim of the ritual, Joseph Manzaro, also claimed that LeBron James was at the event. Upon seeing him, Manzaro claims he heard the NBA star say, “Y’all better do something about that.”
The accuser also says he was dragged into a private area where he saw Beyonce and Jay-Z. A confused Beyonce asked about the ritual, saying:
“What’s this? What’s this all about? Why is this half-naked white man with a cock mask standing here in front of me?”
Manzaro claims that one of Diddy’s goons told her that he was being punished for snitching.
Representatives for all the above mentioned parties have denied their involvement in Manzaro’s claims.
