As Diddy faces a series of legal challenges, a new claim has emerged from former model Jo Eskridge. She accuses the renowned music executive of drugging her at a New Year’s Eve celebration in 2008. Jo shared her experience during an interview with The Mirror on October 16.
The incident reportedly took place at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, where Jo and her sister found themselves in Diddy’s exclusive VIP area. Eskridge recounted that after consuming a shot of alcohol, she began to feel unusually “weird.”
“I started to feel animated, a bit loopy – it was like an exaggerated buzz. At 27, as a model in New York, I was accustomed to drinking. But something felt off. Shots were being circulated in the room. My sister was across the room and noted that once I took that shot, everything began to spiral,”Jo remembered.
Jo further revealed that several well-known personalities, including Tyrese Gibson and Jamie Foxx, attended the party, adding that she was unaware that Diddy would be present at the venue.
“Back then, I was a model living in NYC, and a friend who was a promoter organized the event at Fontainebleau in Miami. I had no clue P Diddy would be there – I was completely oblivious.”
She clearly recalled the evening, noting that her sister even had a chance to meet Diddy, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z. Eskridge admitted that she refrained from consuming alcohol for a decade following the incident, as she unfairly blamed herself for overindulging.
In addition, Jo recounted a physical confrontation with security personnel after she allegedly became a victim of drugging.

Jo Eskridge has joined the growing list of individuals coming forward with allegations against Sean “Diddy”Combs. In her revelations, she discussed how she was drugged during the mogul’s extravagant party in 2008. During her conversation with The Mirror, she reflected on that fateful night when her drink was supposedly tampered with.
The former model disclosed that what began as an enjoyable evening turned uncomfortable, leading to a physical altercation.
Jo stated that she was typically not violent while drinking, but that night, she acted completely out of character. As she recounted the event, she described how she was struck in the head with a flashlight during the altercation, which caused her to lose consciousness.
Explaining her usual demeanor, she said:
“I believe my drink was spiked because I transformed into a completely different person. That behavior isn’t like me at all.”
Following her confrontation with security, both Jo and her sister did not make it onto the yacht for the afterparty. Over the years, Jo has heard numerous reports of others claiming that Diddy drugged them and ended her statement by expressing sympathy for all those who might have suffered similarly.
