Insights from ‘Gigolos’ Star

… Surprising Revelations About Trial Involvements

Published May 21, 2025 3:00 AM PDT

Jimmy Clabots, a prominent figure from the reality series “Gigolos,” revealed that he, alongside other escorts, had been aware of numerous activities taking place within Diddy‘s private life for quite some time. He expressed that it was no surprise to him that some of his former costars are currently involved in the ongoing trial. Clabots’ insights shed light on the intricate world of celebrity relationships and the potential undercurrents of scandal that often accompany them.

Clabots, who portrayed the character Jimmy Dior in the first two seasons of “Gigolos,” mentioned that he was on standby for a few appointments with Diddy but was never officially booked. This intriguing revelation opens up discussions about the dynamics between high-profile clients and service providers, hinting at the complexities of such encounters within the entertainment industry.

He did, however, have knowledge of other escorts from the agency who had interactions with Diddy, and some of these individuals disclosed experiences of witnessing “chemicals”—a euphemism for drug use—while others claimed they did not observe any such activities. This disparity in accounts underscores the varied experiences within the escorting realm and raises questions about the authenticity of claims made in the media.

One particular unnamed escort, who had a lengthy association with both Diddy and Cassie, insisted that he never encountered any of the violence or drug use that has been highlighted in Diddy’s federal trial in NYC. This testimony adds another layer of complexity to the narrative, suggesting a divergence in experiences among those who interacted with the celebrity.

Clabots elaborated on the overall atmosphere, stating, “It was always a situation that was pretty crazy, but the chemical stuff was not always a part of it, and neither of those men saw violence.” His comments reflect the chaotic nature of celebrity encounters, while also questioning the narrative that often accompanies such high-profile cases.

As previously reported, images of alleged sex workers that prosecutors claim were involved in Diddy’s so-called “freak-offs” were presented in court this week. Notably, two of the men depicted were former stars of the Showtime reality television series “Gigolos.” This revelation highlights the interconnectedness of the entertainment world and the legal issues that can arise from it.

Vin Armani, known in the show as “Jules” and who was present with Cassie during crucial moments, was reportedly the third individual in the room at the L.A. InterContinental Hotel, just before Diddy was caught on surveillance footage engaging in a violent act against her in the hallway. This alarming detail adds further intrigue to the ongoing legal proceedings.

Prosecutors also presented a photo of Ash Armand, who gained fame by appearing in three seasons of “Gigolos.” Currently, he is incarcerated after being convicted of manslaughter for the tragic murder of his girlfriend in 2020. His current legal troubles further complicate the narratives surrounding the reality show and its participants.

Jimmy Clabots shared that he has not kept in touch with any of his former cast members. After retiring from escorting in 2012, he left the show and is now focusing on writing a memoir. This memoir aims to detail his experiences, including the dates he went on, his journey with addiction and recovery, and a candid exploration of what transactional relationships truly entail. His upcoming work promises to provide an insightful perspective on the complexities of the escorting world.
