‘Family Matters’ star Reginald VelJohnson denies having sex with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs: ‘I don’t know that man’
Reginald VelJohnson has reacted to the recent claim that he was previously sexually involved with Sean “Diddy” Combs — a rumor that surfaced after the disgraced rapper was arrested on sex trafficking charges on Sept. 16.
“That’s all bulls–t,” the “Family Matters” alum told TMZ during an outing in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.
“I don’t know that man. I’ve never met him before.”
Despite the ongoing sex trafficking investigation against Combs, 54, VelJohnson sent the “Last Night” singer well wishes.“I wish him well though,” the 72-year-old told the reporter. VelJohnson, who is currently competing on Season 33 of “DWTS,” also told those who are fueling the rumor to “get a life.”
Four months before Combs’ arrest, a video surfaced on X of comedian Luce Cannon alleging that Combs and VelJohnson had sex.
Cannon claimed that he once attended a party and heard squealing coming from a room. “Somebody wearing this bitch out!” he said during the video.
He then claimed to have knocked down a door and discovered VelJohnson with Combs. “Busted the door and look up and I see Carl Winslow,” Cannon said.
VelJohnson famously played the character of Carl on “Family Matters” from 1989 to 1998. The ABC sitcom also starred Jaleel White, who played Steve Urkel.
Combs’ name has been heavily circulating online after the father of seven was arrested on sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution charges last week.
Several women, including singer Cassie have accused Combs of committing violent acts against them leading up to his arrest. On May 17, CNN released footage of Combs dragging and beating Cassie in a hotel in 2016.
The 38-year-old’s ex later released an apology video calling his actions “inexcusable” and saying he made “no excuses” for them.
On Tuesday, Page Six obtained legal docs in which a woman named Thalia Graves accused Combs of “violently” raping her in 2001.
