Belen Ronda Campesino, 45, says she felt so out of it after encountering the now disgraced hip-hip mogul at the club she worked at, that it felt like she had taken '50 Valium tablets'.

The beautician claims Combs, 55, then tried to drag her to a house party where she fears she might have been raped.
Her story comes after Grammy-winning US rapper Combs was convicted on Wednesday of prostitution charges in his sex-crimes trial in New York.
He was found not guilty of the more serious crimes of racketeering and sex-trafficking but could still face 20 years in prison.
Belen says details from the star's trial — including claims he made two ex-girlfriends have sex with male escorts at drug-fuelled parties referred to as 'freak-offs' — had turned her stomach, made her heart race and given her 'severe anxiety'.
She adds: 'It makes me furious to hear during his trial what he has done to women.
He made sexual advances on me, telling me that he liked me a lot.

'I don't really follow the news but when I saw some pictures of this guy because of his trial I got really nervous.
'I had a similar experience with him to everything that has been coming out now.'
Belen says she encountered Combs in 2006 around the DJ booth at the DC-10 club where she worked.
She recalls: 'It looked like he had taken a lot of drugs, his jaw was totally out of joint.
'He was with four very large bodyguards.

'He made sexual advances on me, telling me that he liked me a lot.'
Belen, who lives in Spain, says things had begun to go south, when Combs bought her a drink.
She adds: 'I saw that when he went to put the wad of cash away he took out a bag with a white powder in it, which I thought was cocaine.
'But he started to do something weird in his pocket and it really bothered me.
'I turned around and was telling a friend, but then I stupidly drank the juice.
'About 10 or 15 minutes later I started feeling dizzy and sleepy and I was sweating heavily.
'I didn't understand what was going on.'
She reveals that she had tried to escape to the VIP area, but he followed her there and tried to get her to a party at his house.

Belen says Combs 'looked like he had taken a lot of drugs'
She says: 'I told him I didn't want to go, that I was not feeling well and needed to go home.
'He squeezed my arm and was pulling on my hand.
'That's when I felt sure they had put something in my drink.
'My friend really wanted to go to the party but I told her we might be raped if we went.'
'Dizzy and sleepy'
She says Combs tried to stop her leaving, but she ran to the bathroom and left the club.
She reveals: 'The next day I slept the whole day.
'People were calling me and ringing my bell at home but I didn't hear anything.
'It was like I had taken 50 Valium tablets.
'Now I realise I had a very lucky escape.'
A party fixer exclusively told The Sun on Sunday last year how Ibiza clubs such as DC-10, Space and Amnesia were Combs' stomping grounds for years.
After the verdicts were read out on Wednesday at his trial, Combs dropped to his knees and made a praying gesture.

But he was denied bail, remains in jail and is expected to be sentenced over his prostitution conviction on October 3.
But due to sentencing guidelines, he is likely to serve less than five years in prison.
A lawyer representing more than 100 alleged victims in civil cases against Combs vowed they would fight on despite the sex-trafficking and racketeering not-guilty verdicts.
Tony Buzbee said: 'Diddy dodged a big bullet today.
'But that doesn't end the saga.'

Trump says he will take control of Washington DC police, deploy National Guard to US capital
US president Donald Trump said on Monday he was putting Washington's police department under federal control and ordering the National Guard to deploy to the nation's capital to combat what he said was a wave of lawlessness, despite statistics showing that violent crime hit a 30-year low in 2024. 'I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order and public safety in Washington, DC,' Trump told reporters at the White House, flanked by administration officials including defence secretary Pete Hegseth and attorney general Pam Bondi. 'Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals.' Mr Trump's announcement is his latest effort to target Democratic-run cities by exercising executive power over traditionally local matters. He has dismissed criticism that he is manufacturing a crisis to justify expanding presidential authority. Hundreds of officers and agents from over a dozen federal agencies, including the FBI, ICE, DEA, and ATF, have already fanned out across the city in recent days. READ MORE The Democratic mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, has pushed back on Trump's claims, saying the city is 'not experiencing a crime spike' and highlighting that violent crime hit its lowest level in more than three decades last year. Violent crime fell 26 per cent in the first seven months of 2025 after dropping 35 per cent in 2024, and overall crime dropped 7 per cent, according to the city's police department. But gun violence remains an issue. In 2023, Washington had the third-highest gun homicide rate among US cities with populations over 500,000, according to gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety. The deployment of National Guard troops is a tactic the Republican president used in Los Angeles, where he dispatched 5,000 troops in June in response to protests over his administration's immigration raids. State and local officials objected to Trump's decision as unnecessary and inflammatory. A federal trial was set to begin on Monday in San Francisco on whether the Trump administration violated US law by deploying National Guard troops and US Marines without the approval of Democratic governor Gavin Newsom. The president has broad authority over the 2,700 members of the Washington DC National Guard, unlike in states where governors typically hold the power to activate troops. Guard troops have been dispatched to Washington many times, including in response to the January 6th, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters. During his first term, Mr Trump sent the National Guard into Washington in 2020 to help quash mostly peaceful demonstrations during nationwide protests over police brutality following the murder of George Floyd. Civil rights leaders denounced the deployment, which was opposed by Bowser. The US military is generally prohibited under law from directly participating in domestic law enforcement activities. – Reuters

Mel Gibson fulfils Braveheart superfan's 25-year dream with unforgettable meeting
A Mel Gibson and Braveheart superfan capped off a 25-year quest and bagged a unique memento when he met the man who brought William Wallace to life. Gibson was in Trim, Co. Meath, where much of Braveheart was filmed, to celebrate the Oscar-winning picture's 30th anniversary. The event was part of the town's King John Summer Prom festival. Maxim Deasy (right) with Mel Gibson at Trim's meet and greet. Pic: Michael Chester The superstar actor, director and producer signed posters and posed for selfies with a few hundred fans, who had secured their meet-and-greet in advance by purchasing special posters. And the day was the cherry on top of a decades-long mission for one superfan Scotsman, whose Wallace-like rebelliousness scored him an extra special keepsake. Along with the pre-bought poster, Paul Wilson from Irvine brought along a widescreen print of himself standing atop Aonach Eagach mountain ridge in the Scottish Highlands, wearing a kilt and with his back to the camera. Paul Wilson, from Scotland, takes a selfie with Mel Gibson. Pic: Michael Chester The pose is a recreation of a scene from Braveheart filmed on the same mountaintop. 'It took me 25 years to find this location,' Mr Wilson told Paul Wilson with his recreation of a Braveheart scene. Pic: Michael Chester 'After years of hiking in the Highlands, I was sitting watching Braveheart for the umpteenth time and thought 'I recognise that – I've been there', and roughly decoded it and eventually found it about five years ago.' as him,' Mr Wilson ' Fans were sternly warned that only pre-bought posters would be signed, but €300 compared Mr Wilson said Gibson day's meet and was 'very nice about been foiled by it' when it came time tions. to ask. The superfan, 'I just placed it and Scotland right in front of Ireland especially him and told him said it took me 25 a nation' years, and out, then he told a me it was the wrong spot,' he laughed. 'Then he said it was spot on. 'I did ask him if it was really him that stood up there or a stunt double. He wouldn't tell me. I'll take it as him,' Mr Wilson said. The Braveheart star strikes a pose with Rian Egan from Gorey. Pic: Michael Chester A previous effort to get the print signed by Gibson – which cost him €300 compared to €55 for yesterday's meet and greet cost – had been foiled by pandemic restrictions. The superfan, dressed in a kilt and Scotland jersey and visiting Ireland especially for the event, said Braveheart 'inspired a nation' when it came out, 'because it gave us a voice again'. Trim's 12th-century castle doubles up as York in the 1995 blockbuster, and locals still warmly recall the summer Hollywood came to town – and gave parts to half the residents. Ross Englishby from Trim was around 12 when the shoot happened. Maxim Deasy (right) with Mel Gibson at Trim's meet and greet. Pic: Michael Chester He told 'I didn't make the cut unfortunately, but because the cast was so centrally located and the town had loads of viewing points, we pretty much saw everything that went on the whole summer. 'It was great craic for the three or four months they were here.' The castle, which is largely in ruins, was 'rebuilt' for the shoot, Mr Englishby recalled. 'Pretty much every local was in it at some stage,' he said. 'The scene at the end when he's on the cross, that's all done in Trim, so they're all local people – all the kids at the front throwing vegetables. You can see them clearly. We often look at it and laugh.' Tom King, who attended dressed as a medieval warrior. Pic: Michael Chester Tom King, who attended dressed as a medieval warrior, told he had 'come to pick a fight'. Mr King, from nearby Bohermeen, wears ancient costumes for a living, operating immersive history experiences nearby as a traditional smith and craftsman. 'It's so wonderful to see what Braveheart has done for our tourism industry and our local economy,' he said. 'That seed was planted 30-odd years ago, and look what has grown since. It has just flourished. And everybody's morale and everybody's mood, everybody's excitement…' The poster sales made €10,000 for Irish Equity, a union for actors.
