Denzel Washington once ‘stormed out’ of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ party, screamed ‘You don’t respect anyone’: report
Denzel Washington had fighting words for Sean “Diddy” Combs at one of the disgraced rapper’s parties back in the early aughts, according to a new report.
The Oscar-winning actor, 69, “screamed” at Combs before he “stormed out” of an all-night party that the music mogul hosted in 2003, an unnamed source told Us Weekly.
The outlet describes the insider as someone who was “friendly” with Diddy “in the early 2000s.”
“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone,’” the source claimed.

“[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out,” the insider continued.
The Post has reached out to reps for Washington and Combs for comment.
Combs is facing three charges of sëx trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has pleaded not guilty on all counts.
Following Combs’ arrest at a New York City hotel on Sept. 16, federal prosecutors unsealed the indictment against the rapper, revealing allegations that he hosted “freak offs” — “elaborate and produced” sëx parties that he would allegedly lure women to participate in for his enjoyment and that of his guests.
Combs was known for hosting wild and lavish parties long before his arrest. The expensive affairs were always populated with A-list celebrities, such as Washington.
Diddy’s $3 million 40th birthday “party of the century” at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 2009 was among the rapper’s famous bashes that the “Equalizer” star attended.

Though Washington has never publicly spoken about Combs’ soirees, comedian Brandon T. Jackson has said the “Fences” actor advised him to always leave Hollywood parties “before the devil get there.”
“Denzel always told me, [when] we be at the parties, ‘You leave 30 minutes before the devil get there. OK?’ Always remember that Denzel would leave the parties early,” Jackson said on the “Breaking the Machine” podcast in January.
A clip of the interview has gone viral since Combs’ arrest.
Some celebrities have spoken up about Diddy’s parties, including Marlon Wayans, who said he always left early.
A former publicity director at Clive Davis’ Arista Records recently shared that “safety” went out the window at Combs’ parties “after a certain hour.”
“My spidey senses were always on high alert,” Dr. LaJoyce Brookshire recalled of the star’s parties while speaking with TMZ for their documentary special “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment."
And I know that there’s no safety after a certain hour when you’ve got drinks flowing and people behind your back doing drugs in bathrooms, and two or three people walking out of a bathroom together … so could there potentially be? Absolutely. Did I see it? No. I never stayed at the party late enough to see,” she shared.
Combs is being held in a Brooklyn detention center while he awaits trial.
