Kourtney Kardashian Recalls Being Punched at Diddy’s Party as Sex Trafficking Trial Unfolds
Kourtney Kardashian is revisiting a shocking moment from her past — and it happened at a birthday bash thrown by none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In a resurfaced clip from her 2016 appearance on Kocktails with Khloé, Kourtney opened up about getting punched in the face at Diddy’s star-studded 2001 party at the TAO nightclub. The story is making waves again, right as Diddy faces a federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
“I got socked in the face ‘cause I was waiting in line for the bathroom,” Kourtney recalled with disbelief. “It was for his birthday. Diddy rented out the whole restaurant.”
According to her, the drama started when a woman tried to cut in front of her in the bathroom queue. Kourtney politely pointed out it wasn’t her turn — and that’s when things got physical.
“She literally just went boom—right in the face,” Kourtney said, still shocked. “I didn’t know what to do. Nobody was with me. I was by myself.”
Devastated, she ran into a bathroom stall and burst into tears before finding her sister, Khloé Kardashian, to tell her what happened. Khloé later joked she wanted to track the woman down to settle the score.
Diddy, who was actually on the talk show when Kourtney shared the story, laughed and admitted he vaguely remembered someone getting hit that night. That party, as Kourtney noted, was no ordinary birthday gig — Diddy had even sent out custom CDs as invitations.

Khloé chimed in, saying Diddy’s parties were always wild. She even remembered one that featured “half the guests naked,” with a young Justin Bieber — just 20 at the time — among the attendees.
As stories from Diddy’s past continue to resurface in light of the trial, Bieber recently released a statement via his rep, firmly distancing himself from any misconduct.
“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” the statement said. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
Sources close to Bieber said he was disturbed by the allegations and regretted collaborating on Diddy’s 2023 album, The Love Album: Off the Grid. They added that Bieber was always closer to Diddy’s sons and had intentionally distanced himself from the mogul during the time many of the alleged incidents occurred.
Diddy has denied the charges, but with more past incidents and allegations coming to light, his trial remains one of the most closely watched stories in the entertainment world.
