Kim Kardashian is keeping busy as questions swirl about her family’s connection to accused sex trafficker Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Kim Kardashian dons rhinestone tank top as she attends son’s basketball game
On Oct. 4, The Kardashians star stepped out to attend her son Saint’s little league basketball game in Los Angeles.
The Skims co-founder donned a stomach-baring white tank top encrusted with rhinestones that spelled out her first name. She paired the top with a pair of long, baggy track pants. The mogul and social media icon accessorized with black sunglasses and a massive black shearling messenger bag from ERL, Vogue noted. (A mustard-colored version of the bag retails for $1,850.)
The Kardashians are in ‘panic mode’ following Diddy arrest
Kim looked cool and unbothered as she prepared to watch her son’s game. But behind the scenes, she and other members of her famous family are reportedly worried about the storm of controversy swirling around Diddy.
On Sept. 16, Combs was arrested in New York and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. The rapper is accused of coercing people to participate in his wild “Freak-Offs” – days-long, drug-fueled sex parties that he would watch and record. He has pleaded not guilty and is currently being held without bail at a Brooklyn jail.
The Kardashians have not been linked to Diddy’s alleged crimes. But members of the family are nonetheless “in panic mode right now,” an insider told In Touch.
“All these years that they bragged about partying with Diddy have, of course, got everyone assuming that they were somehow involved in these depraved Freak Offs,” the source said.
Like many celebrities, Kim and other members of her family were guests at Diddy’s high-profile parties over the years. In a 2014 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim’s younger sister Khloé Kardashian spoke about attending one of his events, along with stars like Justin Bieber and French Montana.
“I think half the people there were butt naked,” Khloé told her sister Kourtney Kardashian in the clip unearthed by Page Six (via YouTube). “You would have loved it!”
The Kardashians are “insisting” they knew nothing about Diddy’s Freak Offs
The insider told In Touch that while the Kardashians partied with Diddy, they didn’t know about the more sinister activities that were apparently going on behind the scenes.
Everyone in the family is “insisting that they weren’t involved in the Freak Offs,” the person said. They “had no idea the sorts of twisted things he was up to after hours.”
“Diddy had plenty of glamorous parties over the years that weren’t Freak Offs,” the source added. “At least not until the early morning hours when the majority of people had left.”
