In a resurfaced clip from *The Wendy Williams Show* in 2015, Wendy Williams raised concerns about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ behavior towards his then-ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, years before his arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. At the time, Williams was discussing Combs and Ventura’s on-again, off-again relationship, specifically during a period when Ventura was reportedly trying to “avoid” Combs while filming *Honey 3: Dare to Dance* in South Africa after their breakup.
Williams, known for her candid commentary, warned Ventura that it could be difficult to escape someone as powerful as Combs, calling him a “mogul” with the means to track her down. She even described a hypothetical situation where Combs could use his wealth and influence to fly to South Africa, gain access to Ventura’s hotel, and confront her, alluding to the control that such figures may wield in relationships.
Williams, then 60, expressed her own fears about dating someone with that level of power, stating that it would “scare the bejesus” out of her. She also mentioned Combs’ “playboy lifestyle” and suggested that he had “women hypnotized,” a comment that takes on new significance in light of the recent allegations against Combs, which accuse him of using manipulation and coercion to control women.
This resurfaced moment adds to the growing public conversation around Combs’ behavior and the power dynamics in his past relationships, particularly as he faces numerous lawsuits and criminal charges.
