Sharon Osbourne has revealed she ‘wasn’t surprised’ by the shocking charges faced by disgraced rapper Diddy, as he awaits trial on suspicion of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The former music mogul, 72, previously discussed the rapper while appearing in her Noughties reality show The Osbournes, with her daughter Kelly even praising him as ‘a gentleman’ after he gifted her a watch.
But speaking during a shopping trip in Larchmont on Tuesday, Sharon insisted she and her family were ‘never’ invited to one of Diddy’s notorious white parties, and that he was ‘always respectful to her and her family.’
Asked about the charges, Sharon said: ‘He was so nice to me, I never knew that side of him. He was so respectful to me and my family.
‘It’s not like he’s ever going to invite an older ”f*****g woman’ to a White Party.

‘There’s a lot of power and money, it doesn’t surprise me.’
Diddy’s notorious White Parties were well documented with star-studded guestlists including Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Billy Zane and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Images obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show some of the antics from events over the years, with champagne poured freely over bikini-clad stars, some topless, as men dressed in all white partied on the balconies.
In a 2003 episode of The Osbournes, Sharon made a cheeky remark about Diddy’s manhood while admitting he and her daughter Kelly would be ‘cute’ together.
‘So Kelly went out last night and apparently Puff Daddy’s security guard bumped into her and knocked her on the floor and then Puff Daddy picked her up and put her on the table and apologised,’ she said.
‘He was really nice to her and told her she doesn’t wear enough diamonds and that he was going to get her a diamond watch,’ she said, adding that ‘he smells good, he dresses nice, he’s fine.’
It comes after Diddy was hit by fresh lawsuit accusing him of molesting six more people – including his first alleged underage victim and a man who was working at Macy’s flagship NYC store.
Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee filed six new lawsuits on behalf of two men and four women on Monday the latest in Comb’s criminal lifestyle since he was indicted last month on sex trafficking and federal racketeering charges.

Timeline of moments leading to the arrest of star Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
The two male victims were part of the 120 accusers who recently came forward alleging that the hip-hop mogul sexually assaulted them between 1995 and 2021.
In the suit, one of the men, who was 16-years-old at the time, claimed that Combs molested him at the singer’s 1998 white party in the Hamptons. Combs is said to have done so after the youngster – who was a year below New York’s age of consent – asked for advice on breaking into the music business.
Combs ordered the boy to drop his pants and proceeded to molest him, the suit alleges. The star is said to have told his alleged victim that such behavior was a rite of passage for aspiring musicians and added: ‘Don’t you want to break into the business?’
He said he complied out of fear.
The other victim, identified as John Doe, claimed he was ‘orally raped’ by Combs in the stockroom of the Macy’s Flagship store in May 2008.
The six new lawsuits follow a dozen other complaints that were filed over the last year that allege Combs subjected people to sexual abuse throughout his career, including horrific allegations by his ex-girlfriend Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura last November.
It was quickly followed by several more accusers stepping forward and a criminal investigation that led to Combs’ indictment by a grand jury last month.
A report described Combs as violent to women for decades and has used his power in the entertainment industry to silence his victims.
Many have compared him to the Jeffrey Epstein of music.
Former friends, acquaintances, employees, Bad Boy artists and industry insiders told Rolling Stone that Diddy is a menacing figure who uses his public celebrity-adored persona to hide a pattern of sexual abuse and violence.
According to the report, Diddy’s history of sexual abuse traces back to before his music career started, with women who knew him at Howard University saying he showed signs of an abusive personality even then.
Combs attorney’s issued a statement to DailyMail.com.
‘The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity,’ they said.
‘Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.’

Diddy behind bars: The disturbing and troubling resurfaced videos
Last month, Combs was arrested on shocking sex trafficking and racketeering charges and is being held in a notorious New York City jail without bond.
His case was reassigned to federal Judge Arun Subramanian on Thursday without explanation, reported CNN.
Initially Judge Andrew Carter presided over the case and denied him bail twice despite the rapper using both his and his mother’s homes in Miami — worth $50 million — as collateral.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges that detail allegations dating back to 2008 that accuses him of abusing, threatening and coercing women for years ‘to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.
