Sean "P. Diddy" Combs has become a pariah in Hollywood as he faces prison for alleged sexual abuse.
The hip hop mogul's former friends are keeping their distance and hoping he "keeps his mouth shut", a source told In Touch Weekly.
The embattled producer "kept meticulous records" of his exclusive A-list parties, where celebrities allegedly witnessed and participated in sexual abuse.
“The word is he’s got enough dirt to hang half of Hollywood,” the source added.
"All the rumors that he’s kept meticulous records, and even video recordings, of all the crazy stuff that went on at his big parties over the years is only adding to everyone’s panic,” the insider said.
Diddy is currently in jail in Brookyln as he awaits trial in May on criminal charges including sex trafficking. The producer separately faces dozens of civil cases from alleged victims, including minor boys and girls.
While no other defendants have been named, others in his Hollywood circle apparently fear exposure through their association with him.
“It’s not like they’ve been going around trashing him, but everyone’s been giving him a seriously wide berth. He’s radioactive at this point, even if he hasn’t been found guilty, his name is mud, and it would social suicide to have anything to do with him,” the source says.
As he awaits trial, Combs has been surprised to find that his friends, and former girlfriends Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz, have not reached out to him, the source said, adding their "hands are tied."
"There’s a legitimate fear among a huge swath of people in Hollywood — J. Lo and Cameron included — that he could seriously embarrass them if he decides to talk about what they shared with him back in the day, which was pretty intimate,” the source added.
“But their hands are tied, it’s not like they can reach out to him, and showing any kind of support for him is out of the question. So, all they can do is hope and pray he keeps his mouth shut,” the insider continues.
Tony Buzbee, who is representing many of the civil plaintiffs, said additional defendants will be named soon.
“The names that we're going to name, assuming our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you.”
