Tony Parker reveals he shunned P. Diddy events to shield ex‑wife Eva Longoria

Former NBA star Tony Parker said he repeatedly declined invitations to private parties hosted by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, explaining that he and his then‑wife Eva Longoria were aware of rumors surrounding the events and chose not to attend. Parker recounted the period after his separation from Longoria when opponents used alleged rumors—such as supposed conversations with Erin Barry, the wife of his former teammate Brent Barry—to try to destabilize him on the court. His comments were made months after Combs was convicted in Manhattan for transporting individuals for prostitution, though acquitted of other charges. The interview sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with some praising Parker’s candor and others questioning the broader silence about the alleged misconduct at the parties.
