Joseph Casieri | Fact Check Reporter

A post shared on social media purports that singer Lady Gaga spoke about an experience she had with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Verdict: False

The clip is from 2021 and the abuser is unnamed.

Fact Check:

Combs appeared in court again seeking bail, a decision will be made next week, Fox News reported. Combs’ proposal was $50 million, but the other side believes many would be in danger if he is released, according to the outlet.

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, purports Gaga spoke out about Combs in a recent interview. The video shows Gaga with blonde hair and in a green sweater as she fights tears to retell an experience.

The caption reads, “Suddenly, all of Hollywood knew about Diddy’s parties.  They are all coming out of the woodwork to make sure everyone knows that they did not participate. Right…..Sorry but I don’t believe any of you. Do you believe ‘Lady’ Gaga?”

The claim is inaccurate. The video was from a 2021 Oprah Winfrey documentary “The Me You Can’t See.” Parts of Gaga on the program can be seen in a YouTube video uploaded by Psychology In Seattle. The ending of the clip shared in the X post is also featured in the video.

During her appearance on the 2021 series, Gaga shared her experience with an unnamed producer who sexually assaulted her which resulted in PSTD, CNN reported.

Combs was dropped by his law firm due to an ultimatum from Gaga, according to Economic Times(RELATED: No, Taylor Swift Is Not Named In Diddy Lawsuit Involving Rape Of 13-Year-Old Girl)

This is not the first time misinformation has circulated online. Check Your Fact recently debunked a claim Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Republican Congress members of having similar accusations to Matt Gaetz’s.
