Pussycat Dolls singer Kaya Jones says Diddy’s downfall is “bigger” than just the rapper himself, and will also bring down entertainment executives she claims sexually abused her and other artists.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Jones did not name the men she believed were involved, but hinted at an “issue” affecting the entire industry.
She has long claimed that she and other members of the Pussycat Dolls were forced into “uncomfortable” situations where they feared for their safety.
“This goes way beyond Puff Daddy. And I think the P. Diddy thing has been so alarming to so many people that their eyes are like, ‘Wow!’
‘But it’s not just him. Something is very wrong in our industry because we have allowed this behavior to continue to grow. Not with one gentleman, but with many. And not with one woman, but with many. Know that abuse comes in all forms.”
Jones recently made headlines when she responded to Elon Musk when the tech mogul reposted a DailyMail.com article about Combs to his Combs abused at least 120 victims, including a minor.

The criminal allegations against Sean Combs could send shockwaves through the entertainment industry, where many ‘predators “hunting artists,” Jones told DailyMail.com
Jones claims that every part of her life, including who she dated, was controlled while she was a member of the Pussycat Dolls. The group’s creators have denied the allegations
“Please, Elon Musk, I’ve been speaking since 2017,” she replied to the tech mogul.
Combs, 54, was meindicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges after his arrest on September 16 in Manhattan.
Since then, he has been hit with numerous civil lawsuits from New York to California, including allegations that he sexually abused minors.
He has denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges.
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every baseless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” Erica Wolff, an attorney representing Combs, told DailyMail.com.
The makers of Pussycat Dolls have long denied Jones’ claims.
But she is convinced she was abused, and says the men who attended Diddy’s infamous white parties were among the predators who tormented her.
“That list is huge,” Jones told DailyMail.com. “Go bigger than Diddy, because you have to rely on the people who run these institutions because they allowed it.
“There’s something going on and it’s not just in entertainment, but entertainment is a very easy industry for these types of individuals to get what they want because you’re never told ‘no’.”
Sean Combs was celebrated as a music and business mogul for years, until his arrest last month. He faces several federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering
Jones recounted a time when she says she had to fight off a record executive who attacked her while they were in a car.
She was in Las Vegas at the time and was offered a ride to the airport to catch a flight back to Los Angeles, where the group was scheduled to perform with Spears the next day.
Although she has chosen not to publicly “out” her alleged attacker, Jones said the entertainment industry is “small and incestuous.”
Jones said she is encouraged that more alleged victims have come forward after Combs’ ex, Cassie Ventura, filed her lawsuit against him in November 2023.
Ventura settled the case with Combs, but a video of Combs viciously attacking her at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 ultimately led to his arrest.
Jones said watching the now-viral video of Combs kicking and dragging Ventura infuriated her, but also didn’t surprise her.
“I wish I could say I was shocked,” Jones said of the video footage. ‘I’m shocked that she was treated like this. I am proud that she has the courage to come forward and tell the truth about what she has endured.”
Jones said if she had a chance to talk to Combs, she would say she is praying for him.
“I think you all need to pray for Diddy because where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” she said. “And if he can’t see his family and friends, and he may have to take that plea deal, there will be people who ‘turn around.’
Jones’ interview will be featured on a future episode of DailyMail.com’s weekly podcast The Trial of Diddy.
