“Would I have been in a freak off?” the actress asked
Jenny Mollen is sharing her experience with Sean “Diddy” Combs as he’s charged with serious sex crimes.
Combs, 54, was arrested in a Manhattan hotel on Monday, Sept. 16, and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to a federal indictment.
In a candid, makeup-free selfie video shared on Instagram Tuesday, Sept. 24, Mollen, 45, recalled a time she was invited to hang out with Combs when she was 19.
“Oh by the way, the Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs thing, I just wanted to tell you guys that one time when I was like 19, I was in San Diego and this guy came over and he’s like ‘My boss wants to meet you.’ “
Mollen pointed out that she was wearing a maroon button-up shirt with “hideous jeans” and loafers.

“Not giving sex vibes,” she continued.
Mollen added that she was then introduced to Combs — who she said wore a fur coat and had small hands like a 12-year-old — and he invited her and her friends to a party in his room.
“Guys, would I have been in a freak off?” she asked. “That’s what I’m reading, it’s called a freak off. Would I have been captured in his room in my hideous maroon shirt? Would there be footage to this day of me in some sort of crazy exploitative freak off?”
The term “freak off” was mentioned several times in the disturbing indictment against Combs, and described by prosecutors as “elaborate and produced sex performances.”
Combs allegedly lured victims into freak offs under the guise of a romantic relationship before allegedly using drugs, “force, threats of force and coercion” to get them to participate. He’s accused of using his 30-plus years of influence in the music industry and his financial support as leverage, threatening to cut the victims off if they didn’t take part, the indictment alleges.
Ultimately, Mollen said she was “so glad I didn’t go” before vowing to tell her kids the story in the morning. She shares two sons with actor Jason Biggs.
If convicted, Combs could face up to life in prison, and a minimum of 15 years for the three felony counts he is facing.
He is being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, after pleading not guilty and being denied bail twice. A source previously told PEOPLE, “He is being treated like any other detainee awaiting trial.”
He is due back in court in early October.
