Pussycat Dolls singer Kaya Jones says Diddy’s downfall is “bigger” than just the rapper himself, and will also bring down entertainment executives who she claims sexually abused her and other artists.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Jones did not name the men she claims were involved, but hinted at an industry-wide “problem.”
She has long claimed that she and other Pussycat Dolls members 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 say, ‘Wow!’
But it’s not just him. There is something very wrong with 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 its forms.
Jones recently made headlines when he responded to Elon Musk when the tech mogul reposted a DailyMail.com article about Combs on his X account and asked, “How many people in music and entertainment knew about this?” , referring to allegations that Combs abused at least 120 victims, including a minor.

The criminal allegations against Sean Combs could send a shockwave through the entire entertainment industry, where many ‘predators’ take advantage of 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 accusations.
“Here you go, Elon Musk, I’ve been talking since 2017,” he responded to the tech mogul.
Combs, 54, was that me?accused of sex trafficking and extortion following his arrest on September 16 in Manhattan.
Since then, he has been the subject of numerous civil lawsuits from New York to California, including allegations that he sexually assaulted minors.
He denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges.
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, it cannot address all of the baseless allegations in what has become a reckless media circus,” Erica Wolff, a lawyer representing Combs, told DailyMail.com.
The creators of Pussycat Dolls have long denied Jones’ claims.
But she insists she was abused and says the men who frequented Diddy’s famous white parties were among the predators who tormented her.
“That list is huge,” Jones told DailyMail.com. ‘Go beyond Diddy because we have to start with the people who run these institutions because they have allowed it.
“Something is happening and it’s not just about entertainment, but entertainment is a really easy industry for these types of individuals to get what they want because they never tell you ‘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 would perform with Spears the next day.
While she has chosen not to publicly reveal her alleged attacker, Jones called the entertainment industry “small and incestuous.”
Jones said he 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 showing Combs brutally attacking her inside a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 ultimately led to her arrest.
Jones said seeing the now-viral video of Combs kicking and dragging Ventura outraged her, but also didn’t surprise her.
“I wish I could say I was surprised,” Jones said of the video. “I’m horrified that she was treated that way. I’m proud that she had the courage to come forward and tell the truth about what she suffered.”
Jones said if he had the chance to talk to Combs, he would tell him he was praying for him.
“I think if anything, everyone should pray for Diddy because where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” he said. “And if you can’t see your family and friends, and you may have to accept that agreement, there will be some people who will ‘turn away.'”
Jones’ interview will appear in a future episode of DailyMail.com Weekly Podcast The Trial of Diddy.
