Former President Donald Trump shared a fake photo of Vice President Kamala Harris and Sean "Diddy" Combs in an apparent attempt to link her to his alleged "freak offs" following the music mogul's arrest and indictment.
According to NBC News, Trump reposted a doctored image of Harris and Combs on his Truth Social platform with text that questioned if the Democratic nominee had “been involved with or engaged in” alleged “freak offs" detailed in the rapper's indictment. The original image showed Harris with former talk show host Montel Williams, who she previously dated, and his daughter, Ashley, in 2001. The edited version replaced Williams' face with Diddy's.
Trump later deleted the post from his Truth Social account.
The former president's now-deleted post comes after Combs was arrested in New York last week. Diddy was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
In the indictment, prosecutors alleged Diddy held "freak offs" where he forced victims to perform days-long sex acts. Prosecutors said some of the alleged "freak offs" involved commercial sex workers and narcotics to keep victims “obedient and compliant.”
According to NBC News, both presidential candidates have had previous interactions with the Bad Boys Entertainment CEO. In 2020, Harris applauded Combs in a tweet for leading a town hall about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Black community.
Old photos of Trump and Combs have also gone viral on social media. Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel also brought attention to Trump previously calling Combs a “good friend of mine" and a "good guy” in a 2012 episode of Celebrity Apprentice.
