Overview
- A decades-old backstage clip from the 2003 MTV Movie Awards showing Sean 'Diddy' Combs inviting a preteen Daveigh Chase to an after‑party has resurfaced and spread widely after Chase's June 16, 2026 death.
- The video shows Combs, then about 33, approaching Chase with a drink and asking if she would go to the after‑party while Ashton Kutcher laughs nearby, and the clip had circulated online previously.
- Chase, known for voicing Lilo in Lilo & Stitch, died on June 16, 2026 from bacterial meningitis that progressed into bloodstream infection, sepsis, and multiple organ failure after months of homelessness and severe malnutrition on Skid Row.
- Her manager John Ryan Jr. and stepsister Gaia Brown say they searched for months, hired a private investigator, tried to arrange treatment, and contend addiction kept Chase from accessing unpaid residuals listed in SAG‑AFTRA records.
- Combs remains incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix after a July 2025 conviction for two felony counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, with a projected release date of February 23, 2028 and appeals pending.
