Dancing with the Stars‘ breakout star Reginald VelJohnson is speaking out about a rumor attaching him to Diddy!
If you don’t know, months before Sean Combs was arrested last week for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation to engage in prostitution, and more, comedian Luce Cannon alleged he once walked in on the musician hooking up with Reggie, best known as his character Carl Winslow from the sitcom Family Matters.

On the Drinx With Ginx podcast in March, Luce claimed he was at a party when he heard lots of squealing coming from a room, which he seemingly believed to be from Diddy. He remembered jokingly thinking:
“Somebody wearing this bitch out!”
He then kicked down the door to allegedly find Diddy and Reggie having sex!!! He claimed:
“Busted the door and look up and I see Carl Winslow.”
Diddy allegedly told him later:
“Nothing more enjoyable than having a man do something for some money.”
Jeez.
The comments were then brought up in an episode of the Flagrant podcast with guest Charlamagne that God in late May, who also cited a report by HipHopDX. A clip of the podcast has gone viral on X (Twitter). See (below):
Charlamagne speaks on Diddy allegedly having sexual relations with actor Reginald VelJohnson, who played Carl Winslow on "Family Matters," and confirms that Diddy got Wendy Williams fired from Hot 97 in 1998 for claiming he’s gay.

Crazy! And it’s even more crazy since in the last two weeks, Reggie has become an instant fan favorite on Dancing with the Stars, even making it through the first round of double eliminations despite his age at 72. Let’s be real!! Usually older contestants are the first to go. But he’s still hanging on!
And now, naturally, everyone’s been dying to hear his POV on these claims. And, well, he held nothing back when approached this week. On Wednesday, TMZ cameras caught up with the Die Hard alum in Los Angeles. They asked him what he thought about the theory spreading online thanks to the comedian. VelJohnson replied:
“That’s bulls**t. I don’t know that man. I’ve never met him. I wish him well, though.”
Meanwhile, when asked what he’d say to those who have been believing and spreading the rumor, the 72-year-old insisted:
“Get a life.”
Oof! He ain’t pleased with the speculation! But honestly, given all that the musician has been accused of, who would be?!
It’ll be inneresting to see if these rumors get in the way of his DWTS career. While they’ve been swirling for months now, they kinda got buried by all the other insane allegations sent Diddy’s way! But Reggie now commenting on them — even just to deny the rumors — is only going to bring the theories more attention!
BTW, as we noted, Diddy’s been accused of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and more following several sexual assault lawsuits. Authorities alleged he’d throw sex parties in which he forced people to hook up against their wishes for others’ amusement. For a long time now, there have been several other claims that he often met up with other men, too.
He’s pleaded not guilty to the legal charges, but he has yet to speak out on the arrest or address this particular rumor. Thoughts?! Did you believe this rumor? Let us know (below)!
