Khloé Kardashian is facing a wave of backlash from the internet due to her alleged ties to Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently embroiled in legal trouble over accusations of racketeering and sex trafficking. The controversy surrounding Khloé stems from her past association with Combs, as highlighted in an old episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Now, with Diddy awaiting trial, Khloé and her family are being scrutinized for their connections to him and his notorious parties.
On September 24, Khloé posted a seemingly innocent Instagram photo of herself sending her two children, Tatum and True, off to school. While the post was initially met with praise, a flood of accusations and concerns soon appeared in the comments. Fans began questioning Khloé’s past interactions with Combs, particularly her attendance at one of his 2014 parties, which allegedly involved inappropriate behavior.
Much of the criticism directed toward Khloé is tied to a 2014 Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode, where she mentioned attending one of Combs’ parties with Justin Bieber and Quincy Combs, Diddy’s adoptive son. In that episode, Khloé disclosed that many of the attendees were “butt-naked.” This detail has now resurfaced, fueling speculation about the nature of these gatherings in light of the criminal charges Diddy is facing.
To further complicate matters, reports suggest that Khloé’s older sister, Kim Kardashian, has already distanced herself from Combs. According to The Mirror, Kim unfollowed the rapper on Instagram earlier this year, just before his homes were searched in March as part of the investigation into his alleged crimes. This move has intensified public curiosity and suspicion about the Kardashians’ possible involvement or awareness of Diddy’s controversial behavior over the years.
As of now, neither Khloé nor her family has publicly addressed the accusations linking them to Combs or commented on their past association with him. However, an insider claims that the Kardashian-Jenner family is in “panic mode” over the revelations concerning Diddy. The insider also suggested that the sisters, including Kim, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie, are adamant they had no knowledge of the more “depraved” activities alleged to have taken place at Combs’ parties. The source clarified that Diddy hosted many glamorous, high-profile parties over the years, which only turned into “freak offs” in the early morning hours after most guests had left.

With Diddy currently being held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial, the Kardashian family’s connections to the embattled rapper are under growing scrutiny. Fans and critics alike are questioning how much they knew about the controversial events at his gatherings, especially in light of the Kardashians’ history of attending his parties and socializing within the same circles.
The Kardashian-Jenner family is also facing questions about whether Diddy’s scandal could impact their ongoing Hulu reality show, The Kardashians. Clips from past seasons have resurfaced, showing Khloé and Kim Kardashian discussing their experiences at Combs’ infamous parties and praising them as fun events. While some fans have speculated that the connection between the Kardashians and Combs could lead to the cancellation of their show, Hulu has not taken any action. In fact, Hulu recently renewed The Kardashians for 20 more episodes, ensuring that the series will run at least until Season 7.
As the legal proceedings against Diddy continue, the internet remains fixated on his connections to celebrities like Khloé Kardashian. Whether the reality star or her family will eventually address the rumors or choose to stay silent remains to be seen, but for now, their association with the embattled music mogul continues to raise questions among fans.
