'Closed-off' Diddy invited me to party at his $48m 'Freak Off' mansion - the drinks and food were 'always spiked'

SEAN Combs served spiked drinks and food at wild and debauched parties, a photographer has claimed.

The music mogul, who is facing at least 15 years in prison if convicted of sex trafficking and firearms offenses , was a generous but "closed-off" host according to the snapper, who attended the crazy bashes at Combs ' mansions and yachts.

Speaking to The U.S. Sun , Selma Fonseca, a Brazilian-born photojournalist, revealed what Combs' parties could be like and how she got into his orbit in Florida in the late 1990s.

"You have to understand, this guy's parties were the best in the world," Selma said. "You name it, champagne, open bar, the best food, and the best people."

Of her personal experiences with Combs , Selma said, "He's very nice, but he's not very open.

"That's why he's wearing glasses all the time, so he doesn't look you in the eyes."

Selma remembers the first time she went to a party at Combs' mansion in Star Island, off the coast of Miami Beach, allegedly the scene of his infamous "Freak Off" parties .

According to prosecutors, Combs, who in the 1990s was known as Puffy and Puff Daddy and is today better known as Diddy, would fly in sex workers for days of raucous sex sessions, where they would be coerced through money and intimidation into performing nonconsensual acts.

The indictment claims Combs organized and directed these parties in part so he could record sex acts while he masturbated.

After days of non-stop drug use and drinking, participants were often given IV bags to recover, prosecutors said.

Selma said there were "a lot of drugs" at Combs' parties, but added that she didn't "know any Hollywood party, or any of these types of parties, especially an afterparty, where people aren't on drugs."

She described many of the women at these parties as "not groupies, but just girls that want to have fun and are trying to find a rich guy to marry."

"What you would call influencers now," she said.

But for Selma, these more intimate gatherings at his Star Island home, often attended by no more than 50 people, seemed to operate on two levels.

On the surface, they seemed not too dissimilar from any other celebrity party.

But off to the side, where people were disappearing into bedrooms leading off from the pool, it was a potentially different story.

"I think at the Star Island house it was more private," Selma said.

"It's like a fortress with cameras everywhere, and a lot of security to get in and a lot of security to get out.

"Maybe he felt safe to do his kinky stuff. His 'freak-offs.' At some of the parties, he had his kids there. But maybe after midnight, something happened."

She added that Combs' famous guests felt like they were "in a safe place" because of the Star Island home's extensive security.

It comes as...

Star Island is a private community of no more than 30 houses, connected to Miami by just a single bridge.

"If somebody does something that you don't like, you call security," she said.

"Everybody is rich and beautiful, there's drinks, there's drugs, there's food, and it's a beautiful environment. So people are happy to do something you're not supposed to do."

Selma, who claims to have crashed some 2,000 parties in her career photographing celebrities, said Combs was always surrounded by bodyguards.

She said that one bodyguard would carry around a bottle of champagne which he would hand to Combs when asked for.

"I heard that supposedly, the champagne had drugs in it," she said. "That particular bottle was for him and his guests that he wants to get high with him."

She believes the champagne was laced with MDMA, aka ecstasy or molly.

On other occasions, Selma says Combs handed out drug-laced shots to guests at his parties, including her.

"He always had a tray of shots he would give to people," she said. "I think those shots had drugs in them. I had one of those shots and got pretty happy."

It comes after Combs was indicted last week on charges including forceful sex trafficking and racketeering.

He was arrested at a Manhattan hotel on September 16 around six months after federal authorities raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles.

During the raids, officers reportedly seized more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, as well as drugs and videos of the alleged "freak offs."

They also reportedly found firearms, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, and ammunition.

Costco was forced to deny Combs bought hundreds of bottles of baby oil from the retailer this week, as the scandal dragged in the chain.

Selma went to bashes thrown by Combs in Miami, Los Angeles, and his home in the Hamptons where he threw his famous White Parties.

She also partied with him on his yacht and in the French resort of St. Tropez and the Caribbean island of St. Barthelemy.

Selma paints a picture of a "Gatsby-like" figure about a mysterious millionaire who throws lavish parties.

Painting a Gatsby-like figure, she said all Combs wanted "was to be rich and famous."

"At all these parties, he was promoting himself, he was promoting Ciroc, his champagne, he was always promoting something," she said.

"He had a $400,000-a-week yacht in St Tropez, and he had afterparties there too.

"Maybe he got a little cocky when he had a lot of money. Maybe he thinks he's better than God. Like nobody can touch him.

"When people get a lot of money and get so famous, they feel invincible."

Combs parties were always "very sexual," Selma explained.

"There were women dressed up very sexy. There was one woman who had this armor that would shoot out sparks in the middle of the party.

"Then there was this girl with huge angel wings and she was dancing all sexy.

"Even the food was sexual. Very opulent. The best of the best. I think that brings people to a point that they feel important and sexy.

"This is a guy who spends at least $500,000 on a party."

She added that Combs struck her as someone who "likes sexy things. Sexy women, sexy parties. And beautiful stuff. Beautiful jewelry, beautiful houses."

Selma's words are the latest to come out about the wild parties thrown by Combs.

The music mogul behind many of the biggest hits of the '90s and '00s is seen eating chocolate strawberries off a naked woman at one debauched event at his Miami mansion.

A male prostitute has also turned in a bombshell video of one of Combs' alleged "freak off" orgies , according to a new report.

It follows a sweeping indictment against Combs, accusing him of running a sex crime "empire" that relied on his "power and prestige," carrying out crimes including "sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, drug offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice."

This week, a woman alleged Combs raped her at a recording studio and filmed it.

Thalia Graves alleges Combs and his security guard Joseph Sherman raped her after drugging her drink and later shared the video of the sick abuse with other men, even selling it as pornography.

The shocking new lawsuit also alleges Combs and his bodyguard threatened to ruin Graves' life if she spoke out following the alleged rape in 2001.

Combs has denied all of the charges against him.

Sherman, his former head of security, has also denied all of the allegations against him.

In a statement shared on his Instagram and credited to his lawyer Antoinette Williams, he wrote: "I have never met the accuser, and I was not working with Sean Combs during the time in question.

"I will be pursuing legal action to address this defamation and protect my name."

Graves is the 11th person to accuse Combs of sex crimes since his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, sued him in November last year for abuse.

The suit was settled, but it was followed by further suits from others dating back to 2008.

The U.S. Sun has approached representatives for Sean Combs and Joseph Sherman for comment.
