‘I Was There for 30 Minutes’: Oprah Winfrey and TD Jakes Finally Set the Record Straight About Attending Diddy Parties Amid the Mogul’s Trial.
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Bishop T.D. Jakes have finally addressed the persistent rumors linking them to Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ infamous parties.
Both powerhouses categorically deny any meaningful involvement in the disgraced rapper’s social circle. The clarification comes as artificial intelligence-generated content continues to spread false narratives about celebrities connected to Combs‘ ongoing federal trial and the two being connected to his “freak-offs.”
The pair tackled the swirling speculation during a fireside chat at Jakes’ annual Good Soil Forum in Dallas, where more than 2,000 attendees gathered for the three-day conference aimed at empowering minority business owners.
The conversation, according to Fox 5 DC, was held on June 19 at the AT&T Performing Arts Center and covered topics ranging from faith and business alignment to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence in today’s digital landscape.
“First of all, I’ve never been near a Puff party. And anybody who knows me knows if there is a party I’m the first one out,” Winfrey stated emphatically during the discussion.

The “Beloved” producer went on to describe her personality as fundamentally incompatible with the party scene, explaining that she prefers quiet evenings at home with her thoughts by the fire, accompanied by her dogs.
Jakes, who has recently become the pastor emeritus at the Potter’s House megachurch in Dallas, said, “I’ll stop by Puffy’s house for 30 minutes to say happy birthday to him during the day at 2 with staff people. And out of that came a love affair and all kinds of stuff,” he continued, expressing frustration at how a simple birthday greeting had been twisted into something more sinister.
