Chanel Ayan is choosing chaos on the way to The Traitors reunion by potentially asking Will Smith about Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ legal issues.
“On my way to LA and will smith is next seat to me,” Ayan, 46, wrote via X on Monday, February 25. “Should I ask about pdiddy.”
Ayan wasn’t sure her question would be received well, adding, “[I] am so nosy but am sure he will be like didn’t pay first class to talk to this bitch wish me luck it’s 16 hours flight to LA.”
The reality star is presumably flying from Dubai to Los Angeles for the upcoming season 3 Traitors reunion. Smith, 56, meanwhile, documented his trip to Doha, Qatar, for a summit event. Despite Ayan’s interest in Smith’s connection to Diddy, the actor has previously shut down insinuations that he was involved in Diddy’s alleged freak offs.

“The world we’re in right now is really hard for y’all to discern what’s real and what’s true,” Smith said during a December 2024 show in San Diego. “I haven’t addressed any of this publicly, but I just wanted to say this very clearly: I don’t have s— to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all the memes.”
Smith added: “You can stop all that bulls—. I ain’t been nowhere near those damn Freak-Offs. I do enough of my own s—, don’t be putting other people’s bulls—. I ain’t been anywhere near that man [or] did none of that stupid s—, so whenever you guys hear that, it’s a damn lie.”
Diddy, 55, is currently in jail awaiting trial after being arrested on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy pleaded not guilty after his arrest but was denied bail. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
In the 14-page unsealed indictment from September 2024, prosecutors alleged that he “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.”
“Combs relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multifaceted business empire that he led and controlled — creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice,” the indictment continued about the accusations, some of which date back to 2009.
According to the indictment, Diddy allegedly hosted “elaborate and produced sex performances” called “Freak Offs” at his gatherings. The documents claimed that law enforcement officials found “‘Freak Off’ supplies including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” when they raided Diddy’s Miami and Beverly Hills homes in March 2024 in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation.

Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo denied the accusations in a statement.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Agnifilo told Us Weekly after the arrest. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community.”
Agnifilo added: “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Diddy has since been named in dozens of lawsuits where he has been accused of sexual assault, all of which his legal team continues to deny.
