A recently resurfaced clip from 2003 featuring Sean “Diddy” Combs has gained significant attention amid the rising sexual assault allegations against him. The video shows the rapper inviting child actress Daveigh Chase to an MTV afterparty, sparking outrage online.
In the footage, the 54-year-old music mogul approaches then-13-year-old Chase backstage at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards. “You coming to the afterparty tonight?” he asks while holding a drink. Chase nods, prompting Diddy to laugh and exclaim, “Yeah!” Earlier that evening, Combs and Ashton Kutcher presented Chase with the Best Villain award for her role as Samara in The Ring. During the award presentation, Kutcher praised her, saying she was “doing so good” while gently rubbing her shoulder.

The video quickly went viral, leading many social media users to condemn Diddy as “sick,” “gross,” and “disgusting.” One user on X (formerly Twitter) questioned, “How did it take this long for Diddy to be arrested? Nobody thought it was odd he was inviting 13-year-olds to his parties? This was approved and encouraged at the highest levels.”
Another remarked, “Diddy did all this publicly; imagine what happened behind closed doors. I hope they lock him up for life!” Users also criticized Kutcher for his interaction with Chase, with one commenting, “Is that Ashton Kutcher creeping behind?”
As discussions around the clip continue, many are calling for accountability within the industry. One user stated, “This resurfaced footage raises serious concerns and highlights the need for accountability in the industry. If these allegations are true, they are deeply troubling and call for a thorough investigation. It’s crucial for all individuals to feel safe and supported, especially in spaces where power dynamics can lead to exploitation.”
