Hip-hop’s “Bad Boy” billionaire Sean “Diddy” Combs has drawn comparisons to late sex-trafficking financier Jeffrey Epstein, but one person believes there is a big difference between the two powerful players.

“Jeffrey wasn’t an open secret,” Lisa Phillips, a model who said Epstein sexually assaulted her on his private island, told Fox News Digital.

“Jeffrey was all under the table,” she said. “Only certain people knew about the sex trafficking. He was very smart – he was much smarter than Sean Combs, much more highly intelligent.”

Phillips, now a model scout at Select Models Los Angeles, has a new podcast, “From Now On.” In it, she aims to bring awareness to human trafficking. She will also be speaking out to other survivors in upcoming episodes.

Phillips claimed to Fox News Digital that for years, there were whispers of Combs’ alleged behavior, ones that, she said, were well-known within the music industry.

“When I was a model in the early 2000s, I knew all about abused women with Sean Combs,” Phillips claimed. “We heard about it, people talked about it… I think he just thought he was God and above all. Nothing was going to happen to him.”

Phillips noted that Combs and Epstein ran in “very different circles.” However, the modus operandi is still the same, she claimed.
