A clip of Kourtney Kardashian has resurfaced in which she reveals she was punched in the face during a wild party thrown by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at TAO nightclub back in 2001.
The shocking incident was recounted on her sister Khloé Kardashian's 2016 talk show, Kocktails with Khloé, amidst the rapper's ongoing federal sex-trafficking trial.
The reality star, now 46, described the altercation while reminiscing about the extravagant event.
“I got socked in the face 'cause I was waiting in line for the bathroom at TAO, which Diddy rented out the whole restaurant. It was for his birthday,” Kourtney recalled.
As she shared the story in front of Diddy, Khloé, and their younger sister, Kylie Jenner, Kourtney detailed how the rapper went all out for the celebration, even sending out a CD as the birthday invitation.
“I remember somebody getting socked [in line at the bathroom],” Diddy laughed.
Kourtney then explained how she was patiently waiting when a woman cut in front of her. After she politely asked her to wait her turn, the woman responded with a violent punch to the face.
“I was like, ‘Excuse me, I’m next,’” the reality star said. “And she literally just went, like, boom right in the face.”
The Lemme vitamin and supplement brand owner admitted to being taken aback and alone at the time. “I didn’t know what to do. Nobody was with me. I was by myself.”
After the woman left, Kourtney said she went into the bathroom stall and “just started crying.”
She quickly ran out to tell her younger sister what happened. Khloé, always protective, joked that she tried to track down the woman to “beat” her up for hurting her sister.
The interview also highlighted Diddy’s reputation for hosting legendary parties. Khloé noted: “When you think of a party or a good time, you think of Puff,” with Diddy nodding in agreement. She added: “We’ve been known to party with you a few times.”
Khloé also reminisced about another infamous Diddy event in a 2014 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
She recalled attending one of his bashes with Justin Bieber, where she revealed that “half of the guests were naked.” Khloé shared the details with Kourtney, saying: “I got on a plane at 5:30 am. Well, this party... I think half the people there were butt naked… You would have loved it!”
When Kourtney asked who was with Khloé that weekend, she listed off a few names, including Diddy, Quincy, and Justin Bieber, confirming: “So far, so good.”
The resurfaced clip comes days after Bieber broke his silence amid speculation circulating online that he was a victim of Diddy’s.
In a statement to TMZ, a representative for Bieber addressed the online commentary and said: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him.”
They added: “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
Diddy, 55, denies charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial continues in New York City and is expected to last up to 10 weeks.
