Reportedly, Claudine De Niro was instrumental in promoting the event and even helped the Chainsmokers sell hundreds of tickets. However, Claudine De Niro reportedly distanced herself from the concert after it became a major controversy due to the viral social media videos. Moreover, the reports also allege that Claudine De Niro's boyfriend, Cuba Gooding Jr, attended the infamous event that was held on July 25, 2020.

Speaking to Page Six, Claudine De Niro completely denied the allegations and claimed that she was just a guest at the event. Moreover, a spokesperson for In the Know Experiences also mentioned that Claudine was only associated with the company as an independent contractor. This infamous concert is now being investigated by the Government of New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo has also demanded answers from Jay Schneiderman, Southampton’s Town Supervisor.
