Suge Knight alleges that Ben Affleck decided to end his marriage with Jennifer Lopez after viewing footage of her with Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces multiple accusations of abuse. Affleck reportedly changed his view on their relationship upon seeing images and videos of Lopez during her time with Combs.
Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, currently imprisoned, claims the FBI presented Affleck with videos of Lopez after raiding Combs’ residence. These videos allegedly showed Lopez in compromising situations, which Knight suggests significantly affected Affleck’s perception of his marriage.
Diddy was arrested on September 16 by the Department of Homeland Security. He faces charges of human trafficking and racketeering in New York City and has been denied bond several times. Over 120 accusations have surfaced against him, involving allegations of rape and coercion, though he has pleaded not guilty in the US District Court.
Additional footage has emerged showing Combs being violent towards another ex-partner, Cassie Ventura. This has raised concerns about Lopez, who dated Combs from 1999 to 2001. Knight implied that this history with Combs might have also influenced Affleck’s decision.
Knight’s comments prompt questions about the timing of Lopez’s divorce filing, which indicates that she and Affleck had separated on April 26. This declaration came shortly after authorities raided Combs’ homes in Florida and California in March 2024.
Throughout 2023, Lopez and Affleck reportedly experienced marital difficulties, which became apparent during a tense appearance at the Grammys in February 2023. Affleck, known for disliking public spectacles and media attention, looked visibly uncomfortable at the event, sparking rumours about their private challenges.
