In a newly found photos, Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs and then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez was seen in a heated argument on the night he is now accused of raping a 13-year-old girl.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Images obtained show the music mogul and the singer, who famously dated from 1999 to 2001, were snapped attending a star-studded afterparty for the 2000 MTV VMAs in New York City where they were later seen having a dramatic confrontation in the middle of the party before walking away.
The photos were taken at the now-defunct Lotus nightclub on September 7, 2000 – the same evening a new lawsuit alleges Diddy sexually assaulted a young girl in front of two unidentified celebrities.
DETAILS OF THE CONFRONTATION
A guest who attended the exclusive bash recalled witnessing the spat, which ended with the rapper making an early exit with his entourage and a group of girls.
‘Diddy held a Cristal champagne bottle the entire time serving his guests,’ according to the source. ‘Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves but as the night progressed, tensions rose between him and JLo.’
The incident occurred hours after the couple had attended the award show earlier that night at Radio City Music Hall, where Lopez was photographed wearing her iconic all-white outfit consisting of a cropped rhinestone tank top, matching low-rise pants, and a bedazzled bandana.
