Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Denies Claims of Relationship with Sarah Ferguson
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has denied allegations that he had a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship with Sarah Ferguson. The claims were made in the book Entitled by Andrew Lownie, who alleges that Diddy and Ferguson first met in 2002 at a party hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell. According to the book, they began what one of Lownie’s sources described as a ‘secret friends with benefits’ relationship in 2004, which reportedly lasted for several years.
The book, which was partially published by the Daily Mail, suggests that the pair met in hotel rooms costing $50,000 per night, and that Diddy boasted about ‘slamming’ Ferguson. A representative for the rapper, who is currently serving a four-year prison sentence, has responded to these allegations, stating: ‘There are so many important and monumental events happening today; this utterly ridiculous gossip isn’t one of them.’
A source close to Ferguson told The Telegraph that the former Duchess of York denies the allegations. ‘This is absolute fabricated nonsense, blatantly untrue and yet another false allegation from him,’ the source said.
Lownie stands by his claims, telling The Sunday Times that his evidence came from several people, and that he had ‘no doubts about his sources.’ ‘I stand by it, it’s fully sourced with former employees of P Diddy and Sarah Ferguson,’ he said.
Allegations About Royal Family Involvement
The excerpt also claims that Ferguson introduced her daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, to Diddy. Furthermore, it alleges that Ferguson took Eugenie to one of Diddy’s parties when she was just 16 years old.
‘Sean’s parties were wild,’ a Royal staff member told Lownie for the book. ‘The fact that she brought Eugenie around was alarming.’
According to reports, Diddy was reportedly ‘obsessed’ with the Royal family, and a former Bad Boy Records employee claims he once heard the rapper say ‘he could not wait until Fergie’s daughters come of age.’ It is also claimed that Diddy’s own perfume, Unforgivable, was inspired by Ferguson and how she liked a man to smell.
Legal Troubles and Public Scrutiny
In May last year, Combs was tried for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was found not guilty of all charges except two transportation charges. He was given a $500,000 fine and sentenced to four years and two months in prison, which he is currently serving.
The case attracted widespread media attention, especially around the allegations that Combs coerced multiple alleged victims into sex acts, known as ‘freak offs.’
Sarah Ferguson’s Controversies
Ferguson, meanwhile, has faced her own controversies, most notably around her friendship with the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Leaked emails show that Ferguson continued to email Epstein after his conviction, despite publicly stating she had severed all ties with him.
When the extent of her relationship with Epstein was revealed, several charities for which Ferguson was an ambassador distanced themselves from her. In 2025, when her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had his Royal titles removed, Ferguson stopped using the title Duchess of York.
Ongoing Investigations and Media Attention
The allegations against both Diddy and Ferguson have sparked significant public interest, with many questioning the nature of their relationships and the implications of these claims. While neither party has provided further comment, the ongoing legal proceedings and media coverage continue to draw attention to these high-profile figures.
