    Kourtney Kardashian recalls being punched in the face at a star-studded Diddy birthday bash as the rap mogul now faces explosive sex trafficking charges
    While Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs stands trial for sex trafficking and abuse, a resurfaced clip of Kourtney Kardashian has reignited the debate around his connection with aggression and assault directed towards those close to him. In a resurfaced 2016 clip from Khloé Kardashian's talk show Kocktails with Khloé, Kourtney recounted an incident at Diddy’s birthday party at TAO nightclub.

    While waiting in line for the bathroom, Kourtney confronted a woman who had cut in front of her. "I got socked in the face cause I was waiting in line for the bathroom at TAO, which Diddy rented out the whole restaurant, and it was for his birthday," she recalled.

    Kourtney described feeling shocked and alone after the unexpected punch. "I just didn’t know what to do," she said. "Nobody was with me. I was by myself."

    She recounted retreating into a bathroom stall to cry before seeking out her sister. "Then I ran out, and I was like, ‘Khloé, oh my God, what do I do?’ And then we tried to find the girl," she continued.

    Khloé added that her alter ego, "Khlo Money," was ready to confront the assailant, though it's unclear if they ever located her. Diddy, present during the talk show segment, acknowledged hearing about someone getting punched at the party but seemed unaware that Kourtney was the victim.

    This anecdote has resurfaced amid Diddy's ongoing federal trial in Manhattan, where he faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.

    The Sean “Diddy” case


    The trial, which began on May 5, 2025, has featured testimony from his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who alleges prolonged abuse and coercion into drug-fueled sex parties known as "Freak-Offs."

    Ventura testified that she participated in these events due to emotional coercion and blackmail, with Diddy allegedly threatening to release videos of the encounters. Other witnesses, including Diddy's former assistant and pop singer Dawn Richard, have corroborated claims of abuse and detailed the inner workings of the alleged criminal enterprise.

    Past incidents like Kourtney's experience at Diddy's party are being revisited, shedding light on the broader allegations surrounding the music mogul's behavior over the years.
