Diddy faces renewed scrutiny after a resurfaced video shows him inviting a 12-year-old actress to an after-party at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards.
Diddy faces renewed scrutiny after a resurfaced video from the 2003 MTV Movie Awards shows him inviting a 12-year-old actress to an after-party, a moment that’s gained fresh attention following her tragic death this week.
The clip captures the music mogul, then 33, approaching Daveigh Chase, the former voice of Lilo in Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch.”
Diddy was backstage with a drink in hand and casually asking if she’d be joining him later that evening.
Chase, who’d just won the villain award for her chilling performance in “The Ring,” nods in agreement as Combs laughs and encourages her participation.
The interaction took place moments after Combs and Ashton Kutcher presented Chase with her award on stage.
Kutcher, a known fixture at Diddy’s parties, was also present when Combs made the invitation backstage, but he simply laughed off what many now view as an inappropriate gesture toward a child.
The footage had circulated online before, but it’s resurfacing with renewed intensity given recent developments.
Chase died last week at age 35 from meningitis and a blood infection that caused sepsis, her body shutting down while she was homeless and severely malnourished on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles.
The former voice of the Disney mega-hit “Lilo & Stitch” had been living in an RV with her boyfriend in the months before her hospitalization.
Her death has reignited conversations about her career trajectory and the industry figures she encountered as a child star, making the old video particularly relevant right now.
The resurfacing of this footage comes as Combs continues serving time for federal convictions.
He was found guilty in July 2025 of two felony counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and was sentenced to 50 months in prison that October.
His legal team has filed appeals seeking to overturn both the conviction and sentence, arguing the judge overstepped during sentencing.
Multiple adjustments to his release date have occurred since his incarceration began, with his current projected release now set for February 23, 2028, though further reductions remain possible as his appeals process continues.
