Oprah, TD Jakes Address Diddy Party Rumors

Oprah Winfrey and Bishop T.D. Jakes have publicly denied rumors connecting them to Sean 'Diddy' Combs' alleged 'freak-off' parties, stating Oprah has never attended and Jakes only briefly visited a daytime birthday event. The denials were made during a live discussion at Jakes’ Good Soil Forum in Dallas, where both criticized the role of AI-driven misinformation and public fascination with scandal. Jakes noted he has previously addressed and legally challenged false allegations, including claims that his sermons were cited as Diddy’s favorites during trial testimony. The discussion comes as Diddy faces a federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, with testimony from figures such as his former assistant Brendan Paul. Both Oprah and Jakes highlighted the reputational harm caused by the rapid spread of falsehoods online. The forum also explored how artificial intelligence is fueling the proliferation of unsubstantiated rumors about high-profile individuals.
