Beyoncé having sex at Diddy's party.
Executive summary
There is no verified, credible evidence that Beyoncé engaged in sexual acts at a party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs; initial media attention stemmed from a civil lawsuit that briefly named her as an alleged witness but was later amended to remove her, and she has not been charged or accused in Diddy’s federal indictment [1] [2] [3].
1. What was alleged — the lawsuit that mentioned Beyoncé
A Florida civil complaint filed by Joseph Manzaro alleged he was drugged and humiliated at a 2015 party and initially included claims that Beyoncé and Jay‑Z were present and reacted to his being paraded around with a sex toy, language that media outlets including People and E! News reported from the filing [1] [4].
2. The immediate legal correction: names removed and pushback
Within weeks of publication, the same plaintiff amended his filing and removed references to Beyoncé and Jay‑Z; outlets including Radar Online reported that Jay‑Z’s legal team had threatened to rebut the claim and that the couple were no longer in the complaint, indicating the original allegation about their presence was retracted from the lawsuit record [2].
3. Leaked audio and the question of authenticity
Circulating audio clips purportedly featuring Beyoncé acknowledging attendance at Diddy’s parties added to the controversy, but multiple outlets described the recordings as “leaked” and disputed or unverified, and reporting makes clear the voice’s provenance and truthfulness have not been independently confirmed [5] [6].
4. What the criminal case does — and does not — say about other celebrities
Diddy faced a 2024 federal indictment alleging sex trafficking and “freak off” parties; that indictment did not name Beyoncé or Jay‑Z as defendants, and reporting repeatedly notes neither has been charged in the criminal case, underscoring a legal distinction between allegations about Diddy’s conduct and unproven claims about third parties [3] [4].
5. The media ecosystem: witness reports, lists and social speculation
As the scandal unfolded, former attendees and media pieces produced long guest lists and recollections that sometimes named A‑list figures including Beyoncé, while tabloids and opinion sites amplified assertions; critics and fans on social platforms pushed back, warning against conflating attendance at parties with participation in criminal acts and highlighting how rumor spreads in such high‑profile cases [7] [8] [3].
6. Why claims that Beyoncé “had sex” at a Diddy party are unproven
Public sources show only an initial, later‑amended civil claim and unverified audio as the basis for linking Beyoncé to sexual activity at Diddy’s events; there is no court or investigative record presented in the cited reporting that corroborates she engaged in sexual acts at those parties, and she is not named in the federal indictment—facts that counsel treating the allegation as unproven rather than established [2] [3] [4].
7. The broader caveat: allegations, retractions and limits of reporting
Reporting demonstrates a volatile mix of lawsuits, leaked materials and social media amplification that can conflate presence, witness testimony and participation; the public record in the cited sources does not provide verified evidence of Beyoncé having sex at a Diddy party, and available coverage leaves open questions about the origin and accuracy of leaked audio and early lawsuit claims [5] [6] [2].
