Online) — Media icon Oprah Winfrey and Bishop T.D. Jakes, two of the most prominent voices in American faith and culture, have categorically denied online rumors suggesting their involvement in parties hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The statements came during a live conversation onstage at the Good Soil Forum, a three-day business conference held June 12–14 in Dallas, Texas, reports The Dallas Morning News.

The speculation surfaced amid Combs’ ongoing federal racketeering and sex-trafficking trial, which has drawn national attention. Unsubstantiated claims and AI-generated images circulated on social media, falsely linking both Winfrey and Jakes to the so-called “freak-off” parties at the center of the allegations against Combs.

Addressing an audience of more than 2,000 business leaders and entrepreneurs in an hour-long chat at the Winspear Opera House, the two dismissed the rumors as baseless.

“I have never been near a Puff party,” the billionaire businesswoman and former talk show host told the crowd, referencing Combs’ former nickname. “Anybody who knows me knows if there is a party, I’m the first one out,” reports Fox5.

Winfrey added, “The nature of my personality is that I am not a party person. That is not who I am. I like to sit at home with my thoughts by the fire, with the dogs.”

Her remarks were met with applause and underscored her desire to set the record straight.

Bishop Jakes, senior pastor of The Potter’s House of Dallas, also directly addressed the speculation. “I stopped by Puffy’s house for 30 minutes to say happy birthday to him during the day at two o’clock with staff people,” Jakes said, clarifying that his only visit was brief, public, and occurred during a daytime birthday event.

Jakes also rejected rumors of any romantic connection to Combs, adding, “I am almost 70 years old. What do I look like? I am a grandfather.” He cautioned attendees about the dangers of misinformation, emphasizing how quickly false narratives can overshadow more important issues.
