EXCLUSIVE: ANNA WINTOUR ERASES DIDDY FROM MET GALA HISTORY — NAME BANNED, IMAGES SCRUBBED

Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially been erased from fashion’s most prestigious night.

Sources confirm to #ShuterScoop that Anna Wintour has officially banned all mention of the disgraced mogul at this year’s gala, which is set to take place May 5 — the very same day jury selection begins in Diddy’s highly anticipated criminal trial.

“There have been multiple emergency meetings,” a top insider spills. “They’re calling it ‘The Combs Conversation.’ Vogue is taking every step to make sure the trial doesn’t contaminate the carpet.”

According to insiders, Diddy’s name is now forbidden at the Met Gala. Vogue’s digital team has removed all past coverage of the Bad Boy founder, erasing him from red carpet history — including his iconic 2017 look that once set the internet ablaze.

“His images are gone. Videos gone. Mentions gone,” one source says. “It’s like he never existed in the fashion world.”

Credentialed media have also been instructed not to ask guests about the trial, and publicists are warning clients to stay silent about the scandal on the red carpet.

“They don’t want any association,” says a veteran PR rep. “Not even a whisper.”

The overlap between the glitzy gala and Diddy’s criminal proceedings has created an unprecedented PR nightmare for organizers, who are said to be deeply concerned the trial could hijack headlines on what’s meant to be fashion’s most sacred night.

“There’s simply no room for distraction,” says a Vogue insider. “This year’s theme is about celebrating Black style. The last thing they want is for the day to be hijacked by a man now accused of abusing it.”

Diddy, once a VIP guest at the Gala, will instead be seated in a courtroom downtown — while the fashion elite walk the steps of the Met pretending he never existed.

A tale of two realities, both unfolding on May 5.
