Oprah Winfrey and Bishop T.D. Jakes have made sure to distance themselves from rumors that they’ve attended some of Diddy‘s controversial parties.
While the music mogul’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial heats up with testimonies of his alleged freak-off parties, Winfrey and Jakes discussed the matter on Thursday (June 30) during the Good Soil Forum in Dallas.
Winfrey said that she’s “never been near a Puff party,” as heard in the clip below. “And anybody who knows me knows if there is a party, I am the first one out,” she added.
Jakes interjected and said he once stopped by a Diddy party, albeit briefly, to wish the host a “happy birthday” and left after 30 minutes.
The bishop added that out of the rumor that he’d been to the parties were false allegations that he and Diddy had a “love affair.”
“You too?” Winfrey asked.
“Yes!” Jakes said. “I am almost 70 years old, what do I look like? And I am a grandfather. What do I look like at this late date?”
Bishop T.D. Jakes, who stepped down from from Potter’s House megachurch in April, shut down the Diddy accusations twice before: once during a 2023 sermon, and with a subpoena about misinformation being spread on YouTube.
Earlier this month, a Jane Doe–who engaged in years of freak-offs with the Bad Boy Entertainment founder–testified during the trial that Diddy would share a list of his favorite sermons, some of them being from Jakes.
The latest to come out of the Diddy trial is that the music mogul’s alleged “drug mule” Brendan Paul, who was arrested last year around the time Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles homes were raided, testified on Friday (June 20) that he used to acquire erectile dysfunction medication for him.
