Sharon Osbourne defends Diddy amid scandalous allegations
Diddy is currently going through the most challenging period of his life. While many celebrities who previously sympathised with him have now distanced themselves, one of the rapper's former acquaintances has recalled their close relationship. Sharon Osbourne even attempted to set him up with her daughter.

Following a high-profile scandal that captured media attention a month ago, Diddy was incarcerated. The disgraced rapper and music producer was accused of, among other things, sexually exploiting 120 people, including numerous minors, and human trafficking for sexual purposes. In light of the publicised charges against the American, there was considerable discussion about the so-called "White Parties" held at his residences, where prominent figures in show business allegedly engaged in parties, readily available substances, or the orgies mentioned in the media.
Stars who attended the "parties" consistently avoid commenting, sometimes even denying a close acquaintance with Diddy. Sharon Osbourne, however, has taken a completely different approach. The beauty treatment-loving celebrity has highlighted his numerous qualities.
Sharon Osbourne praises Diddy
The history of the acquaintance between the arrested musician and the wife of the Black Sabbath singer dates back to the early 2000s. Her daughter Kelly mentioned him during a conversation with her mother, which was broadcast in one of the episodes of the record-breaking reality show "The Osbournes." Shortly after he gifted her a diamond-studded watch, she described him as a gentleman.
A journalist approached Sharon Osbourne during Tuesday shopping at the Larchmont shopping centre. She admitted she was "surprised" by the shocking charges against Diddy as he awaits trial. In her characteristic manner, she emphasised that neither she nor her family ever received an invitation to his estate.
It's not like he's ever going to invite an older (...) woman to a White Party, she commented at the scene.
The 72-year-old also added that she had the opportunity to get to know Sean Combs better. He always showed class and proper respect towards her.
He was so nice to me, I never knew that side of him. He was so respectful to me and my family, she observed.
Sharon even considered him a potential son-in-law. In 2003, during a programme recording, she stated that they would "look sweet" together with Kelly.
