Diddy responds to claims he and Sarah Ferguson were ‘friends with benefits’

A representative has spoken

A royal historian and author has claimed that the ex-wife of Prince Andrew had a secret relationship with the disgraced rapper.

Author Andrew Lownie alleges in his book “Entitled” that Diddy and Ferguson first met in 2002 at a party thrown by Ghislaine Maxwell.

In 2004, just two years after this meeting, the pair started what one of the author’s sources called “secret friends with benefits” relationship.

This relationship is alleged to have continued for several years.

Allegations of hotel room meetings costing $50,000 per night

In an excerpt of the book which was published by the Daily Mail, the pair is claimed to have met hotel rooms costing $50,000 a night and that Combs bragged about “slamming” Ferguson.

These claims have now been addressed by a representative of Combs, who is currently serving a four year prison sentence.

“There are so many important and monumental events happening today; this utterly ridiculous gossip isn’t one of them”, the representative told The Mirror.

The former Duchess of York also denies the allegations, a source close to her told The Telegraph earlier.

“This is absolute fabricated nonsense, blatantly untrue and yet another false allegation from him”, their source said.

Lownie told The Sunday Times his evidence came from several people and that he had “no doubts about his sources”, as he added that he is standing by his claims.

“I stand by it, it’s fully sourced with former employees of P Diddy and Sarah Ferguson”.

Ferguson introduced to ‘Diddy’ daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, the excerpt of the book also claims.

It also alleges that Ferguson took Eugenie to one of Comb’s parties when she was 16.

A Royal staff member told Lownie for the book that “Sean’s parties were wild” and “the fact that she brought Eugenie around was alarming.”

Reportedly, Diddy was “obsessed” with the Royal family, and a former Bad Boy Records employee claims he once heard the rapper say “he could not wait until Fergie’s daughters come of age”.

Combs, 56, was tried for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, in May last year.

He was found not guilty of all but two transportation charges, and was given a $500,000 fine and sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison, which he is currently serving.

Comb’s case attracted widespread media attention, especially around the allegations that he coerced multiple alleged victims into sex acts, known as “freak offs”.

Ferguson's friendship with Epstein

On the other hand, the former Duchess of York has faced her own controversies, especially around her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the late child sex offender.

She continued to email Epstein after his conviction despite publicly stating she had severed all ties with him, leaked emails have revealed.

Several charities for which Ferguson was an ambassador distanced themselves from her, when the extent of her relationship with Epstein was revealed.

Her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had his Royal titles removed last year, while Ferguson stopped using the title Duchess of York.
