Amid Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing legal battles, a claim made by journalist Megyn Kelly has resurfaced, alleging that she witnessed Combs "dry humping" a Kardashian in the women's restroom at the Met Gala. The incident, according to Kelly, occurred during one of the years she attended the prestigious fashion event.
Kelly shared the story on "The Nerve with Maureen Callahan," recounting her experience at the Met Gala in 2016 and 2017. She stated, "The thing I remember is P. Diddy, in the restroom, cozying up, the women's restroom, that's why I was there, dry humping a Kardashian". She added that the restroom was crowded with "multiple Kardashians" and "lame influencer types," with attendees smoking and "making out".
Kelly did not identify which Kardashian was involved in the alleged incident. This has led to speculation and online sleuthing, with social media users attempting to determine the identity of the "mystery reality star". A widely circulated photo from the 2017 Met Gala shows Diddy alongside Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith, and Brie Larson.
Adding to the speculation, comedian and podcaster Zack Peter discussed the allegation on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that Kylie Jenner was the Kardashian in question. Peter reasoned that Kelly attended the Met Gala in 2016 and 2017. He pointed out that Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian did not attend until 2022, which would exclude them. Peter further said that Diddy did not attend the 2016 Met Gala when Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kris Jenner attended. In 2017, Diddy attended with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Peter stated that Kris Jenner was not at the 2017 Met Gala, and Kim was newly married to Kanye West at the time. Also, Kendall Jenner was reportedly dating A$AP Rocky, who she brought to the event.
An unnamed source, described as having "direct knowledge," has denied Kelly's claims, calling them "completely false and irresponsible". The source suggested that Kelly was attempting to capitalize on the media attention surrounding Combs' case for "sensational headlines". They further asserted that such claims distract from the "true victims of the horrific crimes discussed, which are entirely unrelated to the family".
The resurfacing of this allegation comes amid Combs' legal troubles, including a trial for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
