1
00:00:01,918 --> 00:00:03,586
Maybe a
fresh start is just what we need.

2
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:05,967
There's something
bigger going on here.

3
00:00:06,047 --> 00:00:08,508
I will handle that. You
just save Metropolis.

4
00:00:08,591 --> 00:00:10,760
My God, I feel like
you got the easy part!

5
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:31,239
In 2022, the BET Awards
gave Combs his Lifetime Achievement Award.

6
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,616
It seems almost
overdue at this point

7
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:36,619
when you think of this
empire he has created.

8
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:42,208
As Combs is standing on
this stage accepting this award,

9
00:00:42,292 --> 00:00:47,797
he would say something that
would change the trajectory of his life.

10
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:52,302
He goes to this quiet moment
and he gets really kind of somber,

11
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:56,139
and he's like, you know, "I had
gone through these dark patches,

12
00:00:56,222 --> 00:00:57,807
these rough
patches, low points."

13
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:59,312
Y'all. I'm gonna
keep it 100 with y'all.

14
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:03,229
I was in a dark place for a few
years. You know what I'm saying?

15
00:01:03,313 --> 00:01:07,067
And he specifically
shouts out Cassie.

16
00:01:07,192 --> 00:01:10,110
He said it to Cassie, "Thanks for
holding me down at dark times."

17
00:01:10,235 --> 00:01:14,491
Also, Cassie, for holding me
down in the dark times. Love.

18
00:01:15,908 --> 00:01:20,497
And when he did that,
my first thing was, "What?"

19
00:01:21,706 --> 00:01:23,003
It was this weird moment

20
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:26,878
because Cassie and him had
been broken up since 2018.

21
00:01:28,254 --> 00:01:30,423
She had two children,

22
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:31,845
and so it was just
kind of this weird

23
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:33,676
pull back to their relationship

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,804
when she was publicly moved on.

25
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:39,599
I remember there was
this whole thing in social media.

26
00:01:39,682 --> 00:01:42,102
And people were like, "my God,

27
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:43,465
he's still in love with Cassie."

28
00:01:43,561 --> 00:01:48,358
We had no idea that Cassie had
spent a decade trying to escape

29
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:53,279
the alleged horrendous abuse
she had suffered under him.

30
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,699
That was Diddy saying,
"I don't care about

31
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:59,536
what you've got going on
right now. You're still mine.

32
00:02:00,578 --> 00:02:02,205
I'm still going to
mark this territory."

33
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:07,877
That moment
when he called her out on stage,

34
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:11,131
that was like a form of abuse.

35
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:16,761
And we know now that that triggered
her and spurned her into action.

36
00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:45,874
I first met
Cassie on a photo shoot,

37
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:51,337
and when I saw Cass, I was like,
"Wow, that's... that girl is a superstar."

38
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:56,843
When Cassie first met Diddy, she was
19 years old and he was 37 years old.

39
00:02:56,926 --> 00:02:58,678
I want everybody to meet Cassie.

40
00:02:58,761 --> 00:03:01,055
Y'all know Cassie.

41
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:03,683
Cassie would
go on to be signed at Bad Boy.

42
00:03:05,017 --> 00:03:08,563
She had like a top-10
hit called "Me and You."

43
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:13,696
You have
signed with Diddy's label.

44
00:03:13,776 --> 00:03:16,199
What was it like the first time
you met him? Were you starstruck?

45
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:18,363
I was so nervous, so nervous.

46
00:03:18,488 --> 00:03:21,367
But we sat down for about two
hours, talked about my career

47
00:03:21,492 --> 00:03:24,536
and the future,
and it was great.

48
00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:27,457
Cassie's first
album was called "Cassie."

49
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:32,212
It was a well-reviewed,
solid 7.58 out of 10.

50
00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:35,964
So I think we were all waiting
on like, "Well, shoot girl,

51
00:03:36,048 --> 00:03:38,968
let's get it popping. What's
next? Where's the new album?

52
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,053
What are we doing?"

53
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,803
Never to be seen.

54
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:45,058
When Cassie
became part of Bad Boy,

55
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:47,142
my impression
was there for Puff.

56
00:03:47,226 --> 00:03:50,230
She was there
strictly being an artist.

57
00:03:50,313 --> 00:03:53,315
But then, you
begin to understand

58
00:03:53,399 --> 00:03:58,738
and realize that he always
had intentions of making Cassie,

59
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:01,115
I wouldn't say his girlfriend
at that particular time,

60
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:03,576
but having a
relationship with Cassie.

61
00:04:05,161 --> 00:04:07,834
To get her away from
her boyfriend at the time, Ryan Leslie,

62
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:13,211
Cassie claims that Diddy created this
whole guise to get her down to Miami.

63
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:17,589
Puff said, "Bonds, we
gotta go back to Miami."

64
00:04:17,714 --> 00:04:19,926
He said, "I got Cassie coming."

65
00:04:20,009 --> 00:04:22,303
He looked at me
and I looked at him

66
00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:25,265
and he said, "Yeah, I'm gonna
get her. I'm gonna get her now."

67
00:04:25,390 --> 00:04:30,853
He invents this event
that she had to appear at with flyers,

68
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:34,147
the whole works, to
get her to Miami alone

69
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:36,943
under the pretense
that she had to work.

70
00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:38,615
So instead of them
just working in the studio,

71
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:41,656
he started taking Cassie
to the clubs with him.

72
00:04:41,781 --> 00:04:45,368
He started bringing her out in
the hopes of winning her over.

73
00:04:47,912 --> 00:04:52,959
In the beginning it was kind of like,
you know, me and the rest of the staff

74
00:04:53,084 --> 00:04:56,128
were just kind of like,
"Are they messing around?

75
00:04:56,253 --> 00:04:58,464
Like they must be
messing around."

76
00:04:58,548 --> 00:05:02,969
But we didn't see anything
romantic per se, right,

77
00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:05,638
until the Miami trip.

78
00:05:05,722 --> 00:05:09,642
And the only reason why this all
had kind of stuck out in my mind

79
00:05:09,767 --> 00:05:12,478
is because I just remembered him

80
00:05:12,603 --> 00:05:14,313
cussing out one
of the assistants

81
00:05:14,397 --> 00:05:17,817
for not having
condoms on the yacht.

82
00:05:17,942 --> 00:05:22,155
I remember lots of parties in
Miami and I remember lots of drugs.

83
00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:26,993
At that particular time
I've seen a lot of ecstasy.

84
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,166
They're partying, you know. I'm
not thinking that this is like a bad thing

85
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:34,667
back then, you know?

86
00:05:34,792 --> 00:05:37,669
And I was in my 20s, so I'm like,
you know, like, "she came up."

87
00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:41,341
She looked like
she was having fun.

88
00:05:41,424 --> 00:05:44,676
I didn't see anything wrong with
what was happening back then.

89
00:05:44,801 --> 00:05:46,387
You know, now
that I'm in my 40s,

90
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:51,933
I can see, you know, how it was a
man in power that was taking advantage.

91
00:05:53,603 --> 00:05:56,104
I began to see photos
of them together,

92
00:05:56,188 --> 00:05:58,483
and I was like, "Wow,
okay, here we are."

93
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:03,111
Their
relationship became public.

94
00:06:03,195 --> 00:06:07,450
And as time went on, they became
a status symbol a power couple.

95
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:11,454
Cassie was the loyal,
devoted girlfriend.

96
00:06:11,537 --> 00:06:16,042
Diddy showboated her at the
Met Gala, at different things.

97
00:06:16,125 --> 00:06:17,752
He posted her all the time.

98
00:06:17,877 --> 00:06:19,962
Cassie was the first
lady to his president.

99
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:27,844
Cassie says that Diddy quickly became
ingrained in every aspect of her life.

100
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:31,224
Her car rental was
under his name.

101
00:06:31,306 --> 00:06:35,144
Her apartments were owned
by him or rented by him.

102
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:39,816
She said that he had her medical
records sent directly to his email.

103
00:06:40,983 --> 00:06:42,735
Any show that came up,

104
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:45,905
any producers that
wanted to work with her,

105
00:06:45,988 --> 00:06:48,907
any managers that
wanted to work with her,

106
00:06:48,991 --> 00:06:51,369
you had to go through
him in order to do that.

107
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,500
I mean, I thought
Cassie would be someone

108
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,957
that we would hear
from more consistently,

109
00:06:57,082 --> 00:07:00,419
and I always wondered
why, after the first album

110
00:07:00,544 --> 00:07:01,904
we didn't really
get anything else.

111
00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:08,594
With Cassie, the way
that he controlled her

112
00:07:08,719 --> 00:07:13,808
was by never giving her that career that
she wanted because she would hold on

113
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:19,272
and keep reaching and keep trying
to to have that career that she wanted.

114
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:25,111
Looking back, I have a lot
of regrets on not speaking up.

115
00:07:27,947 --> 00:07:29,782
It was really difficult.

116
00:07:29,907 --> 00:07:34,245
It was like it graduated from
one thing to another to another.

117
00:07:35,955 --> 00:07:38,623
When I knew that it
was really a problem

118
00:07:38,707 --> 00:07:42,962
was one time when I'd just
seen him beat Cassie up.

119
00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:48,634
We went to a big
party on Sunset.

120
00:07:50,887 --> 00:07:54,974
And when I was waiting outside,
I seen Cassie come out first.

121
00:07:55,099 --> 00:07:58,144
And then I seen Puff come
out and he was walking fast.

122
00:08:00,395 --> 00:08:03,065
And then all of a sudden, I
just seen him out of nowhere

123
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:04,901
just punch her.

124
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:06,818
And then they
started fighting there.

125
00:08:06,943 --> 00:08:09,864
I tried there at first and
said, "Yo, get inside the car.

126
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:11,407
Are you crazy? Are you crazy?"

127
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,575
And then he said, "No, no, no."

128
00:08:13,659 --> 00:08:15,745
And he started kicking her.

129
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:18,830
And then she fell. She tripped
over something trying to get away.

130
00:08:18,955 --> 00:08:21,709
And then that's when I
jumped in because it looked like

131
00:08:21,834 --> 00:08:23,669
he was about to kick her again.

132
00:08:25,087 --> 00:08:27,507
I grabbed her and I
threw her in the car

133
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:29,509
and then I threw
him inside the car.

134
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:36,682
Puff turned around and they
started fighting inside the car.

135
00:08:36,765 --> 00:08:38,017
She was fighting from the back.

136
00:08:38,142 --> 00:08:39,382
He was fighting from the front.

137
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:48,861
And so I'm busy trying to
drive, roll the window up

138
00:08:48,944 --> 00:08:50,821
and stop them at the same time.

139
00:08:57,203 --> 00:09:00,372
We got to the house
and then she jumped out.

140
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:07,838
And then they went
inside the room.

141
00:09:10,007 --> 00:09:12,385
The next thing I knew,
he came out and he said,

142
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:14,637
"Yo, get this bitch
out of my house."

143
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,890
And then he told me, he said,
"Yo, take over to the London Hotel."

144
00:09:18,891 --> 00:09:20,059
She was crying.

145
00:09:20,141 --> 00:09:22,144
Her hair was... was crazy.

146
00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:24,564
You could tell that
she had been beat up

147
00:09:24,646 --> 00:09:27,400
because of some of the
swellness on her face.

148
00:09:30,861 --> 00:09:33,739
The day that I found
out that he was abusing her...

149
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:39,662
I went up to the
bodyguard's room

150
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:42,247
and I'm like, "Yo, like, what's
up? Like what's going on?"

151
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:51,257
And he's like, "Yo, Chef, like that
went crazy on Cas again.

152
00:09:51,382 --> 00:09:52,637
I thought he was gonna kill her.

153
00:09:52,717 --> 00:09:54,680
And I was like, "What? Like,
what are you talking about?"

154
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,097
And he's like, "Yo, he... he
was beating the shit out of her."

155
00:10:00,891 --> 00:10:02,935
I don't even know
how much time went by,

156
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:06,981
but Puff came screaming
up the steps and was like,

157
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:11,193
"Yo, Chef, like, what the
are you doing in my business?

158
00:10:11,276 --> 00:10:13,863
What happens in my
house is my business.

159
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:16,115
What happens in my
relationship is my business.

160
00:10:16,198 --> 00:10:18,159
I don't know what the
is your problem.

161
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:20,703
- Like, I'll end you.
- Like, I'll end you.

162
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:22,306
Like, you better
not tell nobody shit."

163
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:29,462
He never once said it never
happened. I didn't do that.

164
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:31,297
He wasn't remorseful in any way.

165
00:10:31,422 --> 00:10:33,466
Like, he was
like just in a rage.

166
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:37,218
I was really disgusted.

167
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:40,139
But I'm also being quiet because
I know that he probably really

168
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:42,891
would beat me up, like,
I knew he was that mad.

169
00:10:42,975 --> 00:10:47,313
And so then he starts calling for
the bodyguard to come downstairs,

170
00:10:47,396 --> 00:10:50,566
and he's like, "Why the you
telling my business?

171
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,318
Like what the
is wrong with you?"

172
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:58,866
If you know Cassie, then you
know that when something first happens

173
00:10:58,991 --> 00:11:01,369
she doesn't want to
talk to you about it.

174
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:04,580
You know, whether she's
embarrassed whether she's ashamed.

175
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:08,668
But when I did come the next
day to deliver her some stuff,

176
00:11:09,293 --> 00:11:11,712
she opened up the door

177
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:16,509
and she looked at me and she was
like, "Bonds, I can't do it no more."

178
00:11:16,592 --> 00:11:18,928
Whenever I talked to
Cassie, I felt like it was

179
00:11:19,011 --> 00:11:21,722
a father-daughter type of thing.

180
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:25,184
I said, "You all right?" And then
she... she unbuttoned her shirt.

181
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:28,354
And she showed me the wounds,
and she was like, "No, I'm not all right."

182
00:11:28,479 --> 00:11:29,855
"I said, "Do you
wanna come back?"

183
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:31,982
And she was like, "No,
I'm not coming back."

184
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:38,698
It probably was a week later
I was told to go pick her up,

185
00:11:38,823 --> 00:11:41,574
and I told Diddy, I said,
"she's coming back."

186
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,577
He said, "Yeah,
just go pick her up."

187
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,996
But the way that he
said "She's coming back,"

188
00:11:47,122 --> 00:11:49,750
once you know Diddy,
you know to leave it at that.

189
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:53,587
Like, not why she's coming
back or not ask no other questions.

190
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:55,965
Just do as you're
told. Just go get her.

191
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:00,052
You could tell that she
didn't want to come back.

192
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:04,098
You know, my father
beat my mother,

193
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:05,766
so it was like, I
didn't, you know,

194
00:12:05,891 --> 00:12:07,977
so I was just like,
I kind of felt like...

195
00:12:09,854 --> 00:12:13,733
you know, in relationships,
if people choose to stay

196
00:12:14,650 --> 00:12:16,235
what am I to do?

197
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,071
I can't... If you're
not willing to go,

198
00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:21,490
I can't save you
from that, you know.

199
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:25,411
So I didn't really... I
was very separate.

200
00:12:26,537 --> 00:12:29,206
I feel horrible now, you
know, looking back on it.

201
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:36,045
There's a lot of people that were
complicit with keeping things quiet.

202
00:12:37,381 --> 00:12:39,216
People knew. People knew.

203
00:12:40,050 --> 00:12:41,552
And people kept quiet.

204
00:12:44,013 --> 00:12:46,333
Who would have thought that
Cassie was going to be the one.

205
00:12:53,396 --> 00:12:57,401
Music mogul Sean Diddy
Combs facing a slew of allegations

206
00:12:57,526 --> 00:12:59,403
including rape
and sex trafficking,

207
00:12:59,528 --> 00:13:01,280
in a stunning new civil lawsuit

208
00:13:01,405 --> 00:13:04,241
filed by his longtime
partner, singer Cassie.

209
00:13:05,409 --> 00:13:07,953
New York
created a look-back window

210
00:13:08,078 --> 00:13:10,747
for survivors of sexual assault.

211
00:13:12,833 --> 00:13:15,586
No matter when the
incident or assault occurred

212
00:13:15,669 --> 00:13:18,631
they could bring a civil
suit against their abuser.

213
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:22,425
That opened up
the doors for Cassie.

214
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:25,763
Cassie had tried to leave
her relationship with Diddy

215
00:13:25,846 --> 00:13:28,682
because, allegedly he
was also subjecting her

216
00:13:28,766 --> 00:13:31,936
to extreme physical
and sexual abuse.

217
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:36,106
Diddy and Cassie's
relationship was a lot of people's goals.

218
00:13:36,189 --> 00:13:40,276
So when I heard about the Cassie
lawsuit, I was maybe six pages in,

219
00:13:40,361 --> 00:13:43,364
and I literally stopped what I was
doing and got prepared to go live.

220
00:13:43,447 --> 00:13:45,949
Listen, let's get
right into this Puffy.

221
00:13:46,033 --> 00:13:48,452
Listen, y'all see
me, you see the hair.

222
00:13:48,536 --> 00:13:51,997
I woke up for this y'all.

223
00:13:52,122 --> 00:13:56,794
I think it's fair to say if these
accusations are true, Puffy is a monster.

224
00:13:56,877 --> 00:14:01,632
I was like, "This is a cultural
moment," and not in a salacious way,

225
00:14:01,715 --> 00:14:06,136
but I really felt like everything
you knew or thought,

226
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:10,975
everything you assumed
was completely not just wrong,

227
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:14,311
but it was dark,
disturbing, disgusting.

228
00:14:25,489 --> 00:14:30,744
Cassie claims that Diddy would
have these sexual encounters

229
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:35,833
arranged for her with other
men that he called "freak offs."

230
00:14:35,915 --> 00:14:42,673
Diddy was accused of conducting
freak offs where Cassie on his behalf

231
00:14:42,756 --> 00:14:48,721
would secure escorts or
other sex workers to come

232
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:52,433
and engage in
sexual acts with her.

233
00:14:52,516 --> 00:14:55,394
She claims that
Diddy would film these encounters.

234
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,605
That he would masturbate

235
00:14:57,688 --> 00:15:02,860
while Cassie was forced to
participate or engage in these activities,

236
00:15:02,943 --> 00:15:05,029
and sometimes
that he would join in.

237
00:15:05,154 --> 00:15:07,865
I've seen questionable things.

238
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:10,659
But I never knew exactly
what was going on.

239
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:14,747
There's been times
where Cassie and Diddy

240
00:15:14,872 --> 00:15:16,999
would just go to the
hotel for a weekend.

241
00:15:18,167 --> 00:15:20,794
And I would see guys
get off the elevator.

242
00:15:20,878 --> 00:15:23,464
And I would peek and I would
see a knock on Puff's door.

243
00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:32,556
Puff's assistant always kept these
little mini recorders with him in his bag.

244
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,310
And I remember specifically,
him losing the tape one time.

245
00:15:37,227 --> 00:15:38,646
And Puff was going crazy.

246
00:15:38,729 --> 00:15:41,064
I mean, everybody
was looking for this tape,

247
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:44,260
I said, "Yo, what
is on this tape?"

248
00:15:46,694 --> 00:15:51,992
But I never knew that he
was allegedly taping freak offs.

249
00:15:52,076 --> 00:15:54,078
I thought it was
between him and Cassie.

250
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:05,005
When I read the
lawsuit, I teared up.

251
00:16:06,256 --> 00:16:10,218
The sexual assault,
the trafficking, the abuse...

252
00:16:11,553 --> 00:16:13,806
the drugging, you know,

253
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:15,933
and this is supposed
to be a significant other.

254
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:30,948
Cassie opened the floodgates for
so many people to come forward.

255
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:34,159
Sean Diddy Combs has
been hit with another lawsuit.

256
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:38,539
Music mogul Sean Combs facing
a fourth accusation of sexual assault.

257
00:16:38,622 --> 00:16:41,500
Lawsuit in the last
month was filed against him today.

258
00:16:41,625 --> 00:16:43,127
I think that people
are coming out now

259
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:45,129
because there is
strength in numbers.

260
00:16:46,797 --> 00:16:51,218
It's so hard for women to come
forward and speak their truth

261
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,846
about being sexually assaulted.

262
00:16:53,971 --> 00:16:55,889
They see how they're shunned.

263
00:16:55,973 --> 00:16:58,391
They see how they're shamed.

264
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:00,144
They see how they're silenced.

265
00:17:07,484 --> 00:17:09,987
And then this video clip drops.

266
00:17:16,410 --> 00:17:23,083
It is footage of Diddy from
2016 in a hotel with Cassie,

267
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:25,502
and it is some of
the hardest footage

268
00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:27,171
I think I've ever had to watch.

269
00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:15,385
Really, really, really
bothers me about that video...

270
00:18:16,512 --> 00:18:18,013
is that she was barefoot.

271
00:18:19,556 --> 00:18:21,475
That's what really bothers
me about that video.

272
00:18:27,981 --> 00:18:29,900
Think of how panicked
you have to be...

273
00:18:31,735 --> 00:18:34,029
to leave a place without
putting your shoes on.

274
00:18:38,325 --> 00:18:44,665
Cassie behaved as a person
who had been beat many times before,

275
00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:47,084
who had been abused
many times before.

276
00:18:47,209 --> 00:18:49,169
She realized there was
nothing she could do.

277
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,466
She just got in
the fetal position

278
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:53,382
and she just kind of
waited for it to be over.

279
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,387
My God, like, who
was I working for?

280
00:19:00,097 --> 00:19:01,348
He's not even just a monster.

281
00:19:01,431 --> 00:19:05,269
He's like a... I can't
even describe what he is.

282
00:19:07,729 --> 00:19:12,234
I was looking at it, going,
"No, just no, just no, just no."

283
00:19:15,445 --> 00:19:17,698
When you saw
when he dragged her back.

284
00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:20,868
The sheer brutality,

285
00:19:20,951 --> 00:19:22,870
and then two days later,

286
00:19:22,953 --> 00:19:26,331
to know that Cassie
had a movie premiere

287
00:19:26,456 --> 00:19:28,792
and they were laughing
and giving smiles.

288
00:19:30,127 --> 00:19:33,297
It really just made
you be scared

289
00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:36,466
for any woman that
was in Diddy's orbit.

290
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:41,930
It's so difficult to reflect on
the darkest times in your life.

291
00:19:42,723 --> 00:19:44,266
But sometimes
you've gotta do that.

292
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:47,311
I was up.

293
00:19:48,729 --> 00:19:50,063
I mean, I hit rock bottom.

294
00:19:51,607 --> 00:19:53,317
But I make no excuses.

295
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,904
My behavior on that
video is inexcusable.

296
00:19:56,987 --> 00:20:00,324
The apology actually
sent me into a rage.

297
00:20:00,407 --> 00:20:04,077
I take full responsibility
for my actions in that video.

298
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:06,997
For him to have said
that he was at rock bottom

299
00:20:07,122 --> 00:20:08,999
and it was the
worst point in his life.

300
00:20:09,124 --> 00:20:11,168
He was a liar.

301
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:13,545
It's another performance.

302
00:20:13,670 --> 00:20:17,841
And it's a full-on lie, like,
come on, bro, like you're...

303
00:20:17,925 --> 00:20:21,637
You sound... Like, just shut the
up. Don't talk anymore.

304
00:20:28,101 --> 00:20:31,396
When I watch that
video, I knew he was lying

305
00:20:31,521 --> 00:20:35,859
because I knew what I experienced
in 2021, which was five years later.

306
00:20:37,861 --> 00:20:44,618
I wasn't sure if I wanted to
speak my story and make it public.

307
00:20:44,701 --> 00:20:47,704
Over the last
probably 11 months,

308
00:20:47,829 --> 00:20:51,792
I've decided to speak my
truth and take my power back.

309
00:20:54,044 --> 00:20:56,546
My name is Kat
Pasion. I am an actress.

310
00:20:59,716 --> 00:21:03,220
I moved to Los Angeles in 2013.

311
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:07,057
And that summer I was at Soho
House with a couple of friends,

312
00:21:07,182 --> 00:21:09,101
and I remember telling them

313
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:11,812
like Puff Daddy is
like walking over like...

314
00:21:11,895 --> 00:21:15,565
But he was just... He locked eyes
with me and just came, stormed over.

315
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:18,819
And then he came and sat
and talked to me and my friends

316
00:21:18,902 --> 00:21:22,072
and was really trying
to get to know me,

317
00:21:22,739 --> 00:21:25,659
but I wasn't really...

318
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:28,453
I wasn't interested.

319
00:21:28,578 --> 00:21:30,831
He tried to give me his
number. I didn't take it.

320
00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:33,375
Maybe because he's like
20 years older than me.

321
00:21:34,251 --> 00:21:36,420
That was the first
time I met him.

322
00:21:38,588 --> 00:21:44,636
He started following me
on Instagram, 2016, 2017.

323
00:21:44,761 --> 00:21:48,849
He would message me all of 2018,

324
00:21:48,932 --> 00:21:50,183
and towards the end of the year

325
00:21:50,267 --> 00:21:52,269
he started inviting
me to some events.

326
00:21:53,603 --> 00:21:55,939
He had invited me
to his birthday party,

327
00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:58,442
and I think that was
his 49th birthday.

328
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:07,492
It was a
beautiful party. Classy.

329
00:22:07,617 --> 00:22:09,828
Great night, DJ,
everybody danced all night.

330
00:22:09,953 --> 00:22:11,872
It was a really fun night.

331
00:22:11,955 --> 00:22:15,250
And then, I think ten
days after his birthday,

332
00:22:15,917 --> 00:22:17,461
Kim had passed.

333
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:20,797
Model and longtime girlfriend
of entertainer Sean Diddy Combs,

334
00:22:20,922 --> 00:22:24,468
Kim Porter was found dead in her
Los Angeles home last Thursday.

335
00:22:24,593 --> 00:22:26,845
Authorities say she
went into cardiac arrest

336
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:28,638
while fighting
flu-like symptoms.

337
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:31,141
She was 47 years old.

338
00:22:31,224 --> 00:22:35,062
I had a best friend that
passed away on December 8th,

339
00:22:35,145 --> 00:22:37,731
and it was a coincidence

340
00:22:37,814 --> 00:22:41,735
because on that day he hit me up

341
00:22:41,818 --> 00:22:45,322
asking to meet for a
drink at the Bel-Air Hotel,

342
00:22:48,408 --> 00:22:52,662
I felt sympathetic and empathetic
towards him because he had lost Kim.

343
00:22:54,581 --> 00:22:59,044
Something drew me into
wanting to have the drink with him.

344
00:22:59,169 --> 00:23:01,171
I felt like I saw...

345
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:07,677
somewhat of a a
grieving, vulnerable person.

346
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:11,515
He just... he felt real,
and I connected with him.

347
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,768
But we were connecting
through the pain.

348
00:23:17,687 --> 00:23:22,192
I had heard a lot of things
about him, not good things,

349
00:23:22,317 --> 00:23:25,529
and one of the first
few times we hung out...

350
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:29,491
he asked me, "What are
the streets saying about me?"

351
00:23:30,283 --> 00:23:31,535
And I said...

352
00:23:32,619 --> 00:23:34,955
"You really want to know?

353
00:23:35,038 --> 00:23:38,750
I hear that you're
abusive. You're violent.

354
00:23:38,875 --> 00:23:41,002
You're connected to a lot of...

355
00:23:42,295 --> 00:23:43,797
dark things."

356
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,925
And he just looked at me

357
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:50,762
and was like, "That's what they're
saying," and totally played it off.

358
00:23:50,887 --> 00:23:51,930
Totally played it.

359
00:23:52,055 --> 00:23:56,101
He was trying to... he
was trying to reel me in

360
00:23:56,226 --> 00:23:59,062
and get me comfortable and
show me that he's a good guy.

361
00:24:00,564 --> 00:24:05,694
We spent so much time together and
we were really close and inseparable.

362
00:24:08,321 --> 00:24:11,908
Well, I have my old
phone from that era.

363
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:16,913
It was very positive
in the beginning.

364
00:24:16,997 --> 00:24:18,957
Very sweet.

365
00:24:19,082 --> 00:24:21,251
I think this was the
time I was transitioning

366
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:23,295
from being a
brunette to a blonde.

367
00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:28,508
He was very supportive of
the new curation of the look.

368
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:29,843
This is a voice note.

369
00:24:29,926 --> 00:24:31,678
I ain't gonna lie to you my.

370
00:24:31,761 --> 00:24:33,430
You really got
your look popping.

371
00:24:33,555 --> 00:24:34,684
You made your vision come true.

372
00:24:34,764 --> 00:24:36,975
I'm happy for you.
I'm proud of you.

373
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,894
Love, I hope you
had a beautiful day.

374
00:24:40,395 --> 00:24:44,357
I'd seen his career at
one point to be a blueprint.

375
00:24:44,441 --> 00:24:48,820
And so when we became
friends, I made sure to let him know

376
00:24:48,945 --> 00:24:52,115
that I want to be
part of your meetings.

377
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,960
I want to see how it goes down
when you're doing your Ciroc meetings,

378
00:24:55,076 --> 00:24:56,540
when you're doing
your music meetings.

379
00:24:56,620 --> 00:25:00,790
I just wanted to be a fly on the
wall to, like, absorb and be a student.

380
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:03,293
And it was like, I see
this girl, you know,

381
00:25:03,376 --> 00:25:05,128
she has potential
and she's dope.

382
00:25:05,212 --> 00:25:08,131
And obviously we had this
friendship and this budding relationship.

383
00:25:10,091 --> 00:25:12,302
It just felt like it was
meant to happen.

384
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:15,472
It was the honeymoon
phase, though.

385
00:25:15,555 --> 00:25:19,142
Now that I look back
on it, it's strikingly similar

386
00:25:19,267 --> 00:25:22,312
to how Cassie and
Puff's relationship started.

387
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:28,485
So he at first was...

388
00:25:30,445 --> 00:25:34,574
He would say certain things like, "I'm
trying to do things differently this time."

389
00:25:36,409 --> 00:25:37,619
Which, at the time...

390
00:25:39,162 --> 00:25:41,581
I didn't understand
what he meant,

391
00:25:41,665 --> 00:25:44,125
What was different
from now than before?

392
00:25:45,001 --> 00:25:49,422
And then it
started to filter out.

393
00:25:49,506 --> 00:25:53,260
As I started to see this other side
of him, as the months progressed,

394
00:25:54,302 --> 00:25:56,137
a different side
that I didn't like.

395
00:25:57,806 --> 00:26:03,019
One time earlier on
he had said something

396
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:06,439
and I had said
something back to him

397
00:26:06,523 --> 00:26:08,275
because I've got
a quick mouth too,

398
00:26:08,358 --> 00:26:10,694
and he turned around

399
00:26:10,777 --> 00:26:13,029
and he put his
hand up on my neck.

400
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:15,407
But he wasn't like
touching my neck yet.

401
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:17,617
It was just kind of hovering.

402
00:26:17,701 --> 00:26:20,537
And we were looking
at each other in the eye,

403
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:23,873
and I was like, "Don't you
dare. Like, you wouldn't.

404
00:26:23,999 --> 00:26:26,710
'Cause I'll call the
police, I'll do whatever."

405
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:28,545
And then he just
started laughing

406
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:31,426
and he kind of played it off like it
was a joke and he was just kidding

407
00:26:31,506 --> 00:26:33,550
and we were back
to having fun and...

408
00:26:36,052 --> 00:26:37,679
Yeah, it's those
moments where...

409
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:42,642
he... he has this...

410
00:26:42,726 --> 00:26:46,146
He's got this, like,
side to him. It's slippery.

411
00:26:47,814 --> 00:26:49,816
Yeah, but you...
I told you to go home.

412
00:26:49,899 --> 00:26:51,985
You had the after
party so stay...

413
00:26:52,068 --> 00:26:55,655
You could have gone to another
, more like, you won't call me back.

414
00:26:55,739 --> 00:26:57,574
Talking away and
acting funny like that.

415
00:26:57,657 --> 00:26:58,777
I got no time for that shit.

416
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:01,328
He sounds drunk.

417
00:27:02,162 --> 00:27:04,664
It just makes me think...

418
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:08,251
controlling and...

419
00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:12,505
just an ass.

420
00:27:14,174 --> 00:27:15,383
I remember one time,

421
00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:19,596
it was the beginning of 2019,

422
00:27:19,679 --> 00:27:23,308
and we were in the Bahamas,

423
00:27:23,433 --> 00:27:25,769
on a yacht, and the R. Kelly
documentary had come out.

424
00:27:29,606 --> 00:27:31,326
He came into the
room to watch a little bit.

425
00:27:32,275 --> 00:27:34,110
He's walking out of
the room and he says,

426
00:27:34,235 --> 00:27:38,281
"There's a little bit of R. Kelly in all
of us" and then walks out the door.

427
00:27:39,407 --> 00:27:40,617
And I remember being like...

428
00:27:43,912 --> 00:27:45,789
"What?"

429
00:27:45,914 --> 00:27:50,001
There is not a little bit
of R. Kelly in all of us,

430
00:27:50,126 --> 00:27:52,879
but I wasn't absorbing

431
00:27:52,962 --> 00:27:57,258
really the severity of
that statement until later.

432
00:28:05,392 --> 00:28:10,647
It was my birthday, April
2019, and we went to New York

433
00:28:10,730 --> 00:28:15,193
and at this point, he was
just being more disrespectful.

434
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:20,073
And I was calling
him out on that.

435
00:28:21,991 --> 00:28:24,577
And I remember
being in the restroom

436
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:26,746
and I said, "I'm done."

437
00:28:29,416 --> 00:28:32,836
And he looked at me and he said,

438
00:28:32,919 --> 00:28:36,673
"There's something
called AD and BC.

439
00:28:36,756 --> 00:28:40,260
After Death, Before
Christ," referring to himself.

440
00:28:41,761 --> 00:28:45,140
"And you don't want to
know what it's like AD."

441
00:28:45,265 --> 00:28:46,433
He was insinuating,

442
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:50,228
you don't want to end
up like my ex, Cassie,

443
00:28:51,438 --> 00:28:52,605
"AD."

444
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:56,943
That was his way of kind of
like threatening me in a way

445
00:28:57,026 --> 00:28:58,820
like, "You're
better off with me.

446
00:28:58,945 --> 00:29:00,825
Like, what are... You're
gonna end up like her."

447
00:29:02,699 --> 00:29:05,326
Our relationship wasn't
what it was before.

448
00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:07,871
I went back to Canada.
Then COVID hit.

449
00:29:07,954 --> 00:29:12,250
So I ended up being in Canada for like
a year and a half and I didn't see him.

450
00:29:14,961 --> 00:29:16,546
But in 2021,

451
00:29:16,629 --> 00:29:22,635
he was starting to
record his Love Album,

452
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:24,637
kind of collecting
all the collaborators,

453
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:26,973
and he valued my opinion.

454
00:29:27,098 --> 00:29:29,976
And so he wanted me around.

455
00:29:30,059 --> 00:29:32,479
At that point, it was
more of like a friendship.

456
00:29:34,397 --> 00:29:39,986
We went from the house in Bel-Air
to the Malibu home, and it was great.

457
00:29:40,069 --> 00:29:41,780
We were in the
studio all night, vibing.

458
00:29:42,322 --> 00:29:44,574
We had a day pool party.

459
00:29:44,657 --> 00:29:46,826
Just right. The
vibration right here.

460
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:50,497
I don't know what everybody's
talking about what everybody's doing,

461
00:29:51,164 --> 00:29:54,834
but I'm saying it's so perfect.

462
00:29:54,959 --> 00:29:58,630
He had some friends
over. It was a good energy.

463
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:05,595
It wasn't till the last
night when he went dark.

464
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:11,017
He was on a drug that he
had never done around me,

465
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:15,772
which was this pink
substance that he was snorting.

466
00:30:15,855 --> 00:30:18,107
I think it's called "Tusi."

467
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:21,778
He's in the bathroom
for hours and I'm sleeping

468
00:30:21,861 --> 00:30:24,864
and he comes out of the
bathroom and wakes me up.

469
00:30:31,037 --> 00:30:32,705
He's telling me I
can't go to sleep.

470
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:36,000
He's expecting X,
Y and Z from me.

471
00:30:36,543 --> 00:30:37,544
And...

472
00:30:39,212 --> 00:30:40,213
he...

473
00:30:41,381 --> 00:30:42,507
forces himself.

474
00:30:43,633 --> 00:30:46,719
Like, I don't want
to go too much into it

475
00:30:46,803 --> 00:30:49,013
because I'm not trying to
relive that memory, but...

476
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:56,521
It was just scary, to be honest.

477
00:31:04,654 --> 00:31:09,200
Yeah, 'cause his whole... his
whole tone, everything changed.

478
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:16,165
I just don't want to
go into like...

479
00:31:18,167 --> 00:31:19,252
detail of it.

480
00:31:21,087 --> 00:31:22,589
It wasn't consensual.

481
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:28,261
And...

482
00:31:30,263 --> 00:31:31,389
he...

483
00:31:35,184 --> 00:31:37,604
He...

484
00:31:41,774 --> 00:31:45,945
I don't know, just the person who came
out of that bathroom and woke me up...

485
00:31:47,405 --> 00:31:52,452
was someone that was...
I didn't even recognize him.

486
00:31:55,288 --> 00:31:57,624
And I knew I was never
going to see him again.

487
00:31:57,707 --> 00:32:02,629
And I never wanted to remember
or repeat what happened.

488
00:32:02,712 --> 00:32:07,634
And I just, like, was
numb and I suppressed it.

489
00:32:23,316 --> 00:32:26,611
You feel so small and insignificant
because this person has...

490
00:32:28,321 --> 00:32:31,991
so much power and resources
and all these people like...

491
00:32:32,075 --> 00:32:33,743
It's just very intimidating,

492
00:32:33,826 --> 00:32:35,578
but also at the
same time, it's like...

493
00:32:37,747 --> 00:32:42,210
I feel like I should
have known better.

494
00:32:42,335 --> 00:32:44,420
Like, why was I
in that situation?

495
00:32:44,504 --> 00:32:49,092
Like, that's the shame, though,
because I'm... I'm smart.

496
00:32:49,175 --> 00:32:50,176
But...

497
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:53,137
Yeah, it's been...

498
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:57,350
a lot that I've
had to deal with.

499
00:33:12,865 --> 00:33:16,786
Two weeks later, his
assistant called me

500
00:33:16,869 --> 00:33:19,914
and she said, "Mr.
Combs is on the phone.

501
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:22,542
He would like to talk to you."

502
00:33:22,625 --> 00:33:26,546
So he gets on the phone and he
starts to threaten me and my livelihood.

503
00:33:26,629 --> 00:33:30,550
"I can call the embassy and
get you deported back to Canada.

504
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:32,719
Like, you don't know
who you're with.

505
00:33:33,886 --> 00:33:36,055
You don't know
what I can do to you."

506
00:33:38,891 --> 00:33:39,934
And he's yelling at me.

507
00:33:40,059 --> 00:33:42,478
He is full throttle pissed off.

508
00:33:42,562 --> 00:33:44,313
I can't even get in a word.

509
00:33:44,397 --> 00:33:48,026
I think towards the end of the
conversation, which was under a few minutes,

510
00:33:48,901 --> 00:33:49,902
I said, "You're a demon."

511
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:52,363
And he hung up.

512
00:33:53,573 --> 00:33:54,699
This man is sick.

513
00:33:57,368 --> 00:34:02,665
He uses his resources and
uses what he can do for you

514
00:34:02,749 --> 00:34:06,753
and thinks that that
can band aid and solve...

515
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:11,424
the... the horrible
things he does to people.

516
00:34:13,884 --> 00:34:15,636
Because he thinks he's God.

517
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:20,099
He thinks, "How would she
not want to come out to Italy

518
00:34:20,183 --> 00:34:22,435
and be in a yacht on the
Amalfi Coast with me?"

519
00:34:23,351 --> 00:34:25,103
Like he's so far gone.

520
00:34:26,605 --> 00:34:30,359
So I mean, karma's a bitch.

521
00:34:30,442 --> 00:34:33,612
And where is he sitting today?

522
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:39,409
Not on a yacht on the
Amalfi Coast. I'll tell you that.

523
00:34:54,132 --> 00:34:56,384
Sean Diddy Combs behind bars

524
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:58,888
facing a slew of allegations.

525
00:34:58,971 --> 00:35:03,225
That he has gotten away
with so many things decade after decade.

526
00:35:03,308 --> 00:35:05,978
And so today is the day
that a lot of my sources

527
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,647
kind of hoped but feared
would never happen.

528
00:35:08,772 --> 00:35:11,692
Today I'm announcing the
unsealing of a three-count indictment.

529
00:35:11,817 --> 00:35:16,489
Charging Sean Combs with
racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking,

530
00:35:16,571 --> 00:35:19,658
interstate transportation
for prostitution.

531
00:35:19,783 --> 00:35:24,538
What the indictment essentially
says is that Combs Enterprises

532
00:35:24,663 --> 00:35:27,750
was a criminal organization
being run by Diddy.

533
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:32,587
It means using your employees,
for example, to facilitate crimes,

534
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:35,842
to get you drugs, to get you
sex workers, to bribe people,

535
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:39,095
to threaten people,
to get you guns.

536
00:35:39,178 --> 00:35:42,013
When this
indictment is unveiled,

537
00:35:42,098 --> 00:35:45,685
it is starkingly similar
to the same accusations

538
00:35:45,768 --> 00:35:47,520
Cassie had laid
out in her lawsuit.

539
00:35:47,603 --> 00:35:49,147
There is a mention
of freak offs.

540
00:35:50,106 --> 00:35:52,859
There is a mention
of physical violence.

541
00:35:52,984 --> 00:35:55,987
Her lawsuit served as a
roadmap for this indictment.

542
00:35:56,863 --> 00:36:01,033
The level of detail was intense.

543
00:36:02,368 --> 00:36:06,580
They seized a
thousand bottles of baby oil,

544
00:36:06,705 --> 00:36:10,960
and it became a little bit of a
meme or a joke on social media.

545
00:36:11,042 --> 00:36:13,879
But prosecutors were
trying to demonstrate

546
00:36:13,962 --> 00:36:16,424
that these freak offs were
very organized events.

547
00:36:16,549 --> 00:36:20,928
He and others pressured
witnesses and victims to stay silent,

548
00:36:21,053 --> 00:36:23,763
including by making phone
calls to witnesses and victims.

549
00:36:23,890 --> 00:36:25,725
He didn't do these things.

550
00:36:25,808 --> 00:36:27,560
This was a 10-year relationship.

551
00:36:27,643 --> 00:36:29,979
There's no coercion.
There's no crime.

552
00:36:30,062 --> 00:36:32,940
Eventually, he's going to
be shown to be innocent.

553
00:36:33,065 --> 00:36:35,942
And we'll fight every day until
we don't have to fight anymore.

554
00:36:36,067 --> 00:36:39,446
A judge ordered Sean
Diddy Combs held without bail.

555
00:36:39,571 --> 00:36:41,991
Diddy was denied bail

556
00:36:42,074 --> 00:36:47,622
because the government said, "This
man is a danger to the community."

557
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:52,125
They said, "He's already demonstrated
that he's willing to tamper with witnesses,

558
00:36:52,250 --> 00:36:55,462
harassing them and calling
them dozens and dozens of times,

559
00:36:55,587 --> 00:36:58,966
or bribing them or
threatening them.

560
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:00,759
So we can't let him out on bail

561
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:02,136
because it's going to interfere

562
00:37:02,261 --> 00:37:03,554
with the integrity of the case."

563
00:37:05,348 --> 00:37:06,853
I think this is
the first time that we've seen

564
00:37:06,933 --> 00:37:09,477
someone of this prominence
in the music community

565
00:37:09,602 --> 00:37:13,105
have such a high
fall from grace.

566
00:37:13,189 --> 00:37:15,107
That he is at the
peak of his career.

567
00:37:15,191 --> 00:37:16,484
That he is a businessman.

568
00:37:16,609 --> 00:37:18,109
He is a father.

569
00:37:18,194 --> 00:37:20,279
Um, he is a pillar of the
community, music industry

570
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:21,614
and also the black community,

571
00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:23,451
and to see him picked
up and kind of right away.

572
00:37:23,531 --> 00:37:26,868
It's really kind of a an
unprecedented moment.

573
00:37:26,953 --> 00:37:30,790
The Southern District of New
York is known as one of the most aggressive

574
00:37:30,873 --> 00:37:33,834
prosecutorial
offices in the country.

575
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,461
They want the elephant.

576
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:39,966
I think it's very possible that Diddy
has seen his last day as a free man.

577
00:37:53,354 --> 00:37:59,359
When something notorious
or salacious happens to a career

578
00:37:59,484 --> 00:38:03,321
there can be this mood that you
can't celebrate the good days of it, too.

579
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:05,449
That can happen.

580
00:38:06,533 --> 00:38:08,035
There was a lot of good days.

581
00:38:09,328 --> 00:38:13,290
There's a lot of brilliant
people that made it all happen.

582
00:38:15,042 --> 00:38:16,836
He made hip hop...

583
00:38:17,837 --> 00:38:22,216
seem so vital and
lively to American culture

584
00:38:22,341 --> 00:38:24,384
that everyone wanted
to be a piece of it.

585
00:38:25,845 --> 00:38:28,973
I used to beam with pride...

586
00:38:29,056 --> 00:38:33,477
because I know I was there in those
formulative years to help lay the foundation.

587
00:38:36,022 --> 00:38:38,982
To me, it's all about power.

588
00:38:39,066 --> 00:38:45,990
The industry in a whole can't keep
turning a blind eye to these situations.

589
00:38:46,073 --> 00:38:48,908
There's a lot of people
like Puffy in this music business.

590
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:52,413
Exposing Puffy
means exposing them.

591
00:38:54,665 --> 00:38:56,750
We are taught no snitching.

592
00:38:56,875 --> 00:39:00,796
We're taught to suppress
violence and abuse.

593
00:39:00,921 --> 00:39:04,508
And so that gives
abusers space to thrive.

594
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:07,928
And I'm not afraid anymore.

595
00:39:08,929 --> 00:39:11,182
Scream it from the mountaintops.

596
00:39:11,265 --> 00:39:13,768
These people do not have the
power that you think that they do.

597
00:39:16,103 --> 00:39:19,357
I was questioning my faith,

598
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:24,528
apologizing for things
that I dreamed about.

599
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:29,450
Like, "Why did I
put this on myself?"

600
00:39:30,618 --> 00:39:33,537
And I haven't been
able to express that

601
00:39:33,621 --> 00:39:37,290
without the world victim
blaming and shaming me

602
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:40,795
and telling me I just need to be grateful
because he gave me an opportunity.

603
00:39:45,257 --> 00:39:48,761
I have nine bullet fragments
that remain in my face and my head.

604
00:39:50,971 --> 00:39:52,138
He took my peace of mind.

605
00:39:52,807 --> 00:39:55,393
He took my sense of safety.

606
00:40:00,064 --> 00:40:01,624
Being able to speak about it...

607
00:40:03,317 --> 00:40:05,819
is like liberation
to a certain extent.

608
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:10,324
But if I could just block
everything out, even till today,

609
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:12,660
I would want that. That
would be best for me.

610
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:14,578
So I don't have the
trauma anymore.

611
00:40:17,623 --> 00:40:20,417
Combs faces a
minimum of 15 years behind bars,

612
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:24,212
up to life in prison if convicted
on these three felony counts.

613
00:40:24,337 --> 00:40:27,883
I love the music that
came out of Bad Boy Records.

614
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:31,261
If the accusations and
the complaints are true...

615
00:40:32,805 --> 00:40:33,931
it wasn't worth it.

616
00:40:36,517 --> 00:40:38,185
You can't listen to it.

617
00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:40,770
At least I cannot
listen to it...

618
00:40:42,022 --> 00:40:43,524
with the same joy.

619
00:40:47,027 --> 00:40:50,906
I don't trust accountability
in this male culture.

620
00:40:51,031 --> 00:40:53,241
Cases are being overturned,

621
00:40:53,366 --> 00:40:56,537
almost to say, "You
thought we believed you.

622
00:40:56,620 --> 00:41:00,040
You thought the accountability
was gonna happen, right?

623
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:01,962
We just let you have
that for, like, a little while.

624
00:41:02,042 --> 00:41:03,722
But we're just gonna
snatch it right back."

625
00:41:05,171 --> 00:41:07,256
So you say, "Is somebody
gonna be held accountable?"

626
00:41:07,381 --> 00:41:09,884
I'm like, "I don't know."

627
00:41:13,554 --> 00:41:17,223
And then I say, "And
even if they are...

628
00:41:19,225 --> 00:41:22,812
what happened
still happened."
