It's the 134 00:07:48,334 --> 00:07:51,493 one and only Biggie Smalls doing his thing in the rap world. 135 00:07:51,494 --> 00:07:52,333 That's right, baby. 136 00:07:52,334 --> 00:07:54,013 He swiftly rose up in the ranks of 137 00:07:54,014 --> 00:07:57,773 the company, eventually becoming vice president while simultaneously 138 00:07:57,774 --> 00:07:59,860 making a ton of industry connections. 139 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,653 But this abruptly came to an end when 140 00:08:02,654 --> 00:08:05,333 he was fired by the company's CEO, Andre 141 00:08:05,334 --> 00:08:08,733 Hero, for seemingly becoming too big for his boots. 142 00:08:08,734 --> 00:08:11,053 In an interview with Oprah, Diddy said that 143 00:08:11,054 --> 00:08:13,093 the reason he lost his job was because 144 00:08:13,094 --> 00:08:16,973 he didn't understand protocol or workplace politics and 145 00:08:16,974 --> 00:08:19,380 there can't be two kings in one castle. 146 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,400 But this wasn't enough to stop a young Sean Combs. 147 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,680 If anything, it motivated him to become his own boss. 148 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,853 And in 1993, just weeks after losing his 149 00:08:28,854 --> 00:08:31,453 old job, Diddy formed the label Bad Boy 150 00:08:31,454 --> 00:08:33,573 Records, with one of the first people he 151 00:08:33,574 --> 00:08:37,760 signed being the notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie. 152 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,333 This was a huge blow to Uptown Records 153 00:08:40,334 --> 00:08:43,093 given the massive success of Biggie's critically acclaimed 154 00:08:43,094 --> 00:08:46,420 debut album, Ready to Die, in 1994. 155 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,973 Diddy's career and reputation as a record executive 156 00:08:49,974 --> 00:08:52,453 and producer continued to grow during the early 157 00:08:52,454 --> 00:08:55,133 to mid-90s, working with artists such as 158 00:08:55,134 --> 00:08:59,813 Mariah Carey, Mase, TLC, Aretha Franklin, and so many others. 159 00:08:59,814 --> 00:09:02,980 His stamp on the music industry during this era was undeniable. 160 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,933 ♪ Everybody wanna be fast, see the cash ♪ 161

00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,573 But whilst things were going well for the 172 00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:37,093 growing star, this was also when he began 173 00:09:37,094 --> 00:09:39,220 to run into some of his legal issues. 174 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,613 Around this time, a young artist named Tupac 175 00:09:56,614 --> 00:09:59,333 had just released his second studio album via 176 00:09:59,334 --> 00:10:02,413 TNT Recordings and Interscope Records and was slowly 177 00:10:02,414 --> 00:10:04,540 beginning to become a household name. 178 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,820 Yeah, I like to think I'm revolutionary. 179 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,573 Tupac and Biggie eventually went on to become 180 00:10:11,574 --> 00:10:15,773 friends, frequently being seen together on stage and at events. 181 00:10:15,774 --> 00:10:18,813 However, things changed quickly when Tupac was shot 182 00:10:18,814 --> 00:10:23,413 five times on his way to a studio session at Quad Studios in New York in 183 00:10:23,414 --> 00:10:24,480 1994. 184 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,773 The subject is Tupac Shakur, rapper, actor, court 185 00:10:27,774 --> 00:10:29,573 defendant, and now shooting victim. 186 00:10:29,574 --> 00:10:33,053 Shortly after midnight, 1225 a.m. on Wednesday 187 00:10:33,054 --> 00:10:35,493 morning, Tupac Shakur was shot five times in 188 00:10:35,494 --> 00:10:38,293 the lobby of this Manhattan building right behind me. 189 00:10:38,294 --> 00:10:39,613 Police say it appeared to be a robbery 190 00:10:39,614 --> 00:10:41,733 attempt committed by three men as Tupac was 191 00:10:41,734 --> 00:10:43,253 on his way to a recording studio on 192 00:10:43,254 --> 00:10:44,920 the eighth floor of the Powers Building. 193 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,493 Shakur was reported in serious but stable condition 194 00:10:47,494 --> 00:10:49,493 at Bellevue Hospital and entered surgery at 10 195 00:10:49,494 --> 00:10:51,933 a.m. Wednesday morning to check for internal bleeding. 196 00:10:51,934 --> 00:10:55,973 He was grazed by two shots to the head and wounded in the thigh, hand, and groin. 197 00:10:55,974 --> 00:10:57,773 The gunman, who remained at large, also made 198 00:10:57,774 --> 00:10:59,860 off with $40,000 worth of jewelry. 199 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,293 Shakur's lawyers who are downtown awaiting the jury's 200 00:11:02,294 --> 00:11:04,693 verdict on sexual assault charges against Tupac say 201 00:11:04,694 --> 00:11:07,613 the shooting looks like a setup and smells like a setup. 202 00:11:07,614 --> 00:11:11,973 After November 30th, 1994, the relationship between Biggie 203 00:11:11,974 --> 00:11:13,700 and Tupac was never the same. 204 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,693 Rumors about who was behind the shooting and 205 00:11:16,694 --> 00:11:20,340 speculation about the whole thing being a setup began circulating. 206 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,933 But none of this mattered because in the 207 00:11:22,934 --> 00:11:26,400 eyes of Tupac, it was Biggie who set him up. 208 00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:32,420 And thus, the West Coast versus East Coast beef began. 209 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,853 This is also when suspicion about Diddy's involvement 210 00:11:37,854 --> 00:11:40,300 started to circulate for a number of reasons. 211 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,253 After his shooting, Tupac was facing prison time 212 00:11:44,254 --> 00:11:46,340 for a sexual assault case and had to 213 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,260 which he did on December 23rd, 1994. 214 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,533 Whilst locked up, Biggie repeatedly stated in interviews 215 00:11:54,534 --> 00:11:58,020 that he had nothing to do with it and wished for Tupac's freedom. 216 00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,940 But Pac wasn't buying it. 217 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,293 He thought that, just like all the other 218 00:12:02,294 --> 00:12:04,493 East Coast rappers, he was putting up a 219 00:12:04,494 --> 00:12:08,333 front for the media and if he really cared, he would have come to visit him 220 00:12:08,334 --> 00:12:09,400 in prison. 221 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,053 And then, any doubt about who was behind 222 00:12:13,054 --> 00:12:15,293 his shooting was erased with the release of 223 00:12:15,294 --> 00:12:18,940 Biggie's song, Who Shot Ya?, in 1995. 224 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:20,813 ♪ Who shot ya? ♪ 225 00:12:20,814 --> 00:12:23,013

Biggie's debut album, Ready to Die, which was 231 00:12:35,534 --> 00:12:39,133 released in 1994, before the Quad Studios shooting 232 00:12:39,134 --> 00:12:41,820 had occurred, but again, Pac wasn't buying it. 233 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,373 Many believe that Diddy intentionally released the track 234 00:12:45,374 --> 00:12:47,173 after Tupac was shot as a way to 235 00:12:47,174 --> 00:12:49,773 taunt him and potentially fuel the battle between 236 00:12:49,774 --> 00:12:53,600 Tupac and Biggie, and he had plenty reason to do so. 237 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,373 Prior to the shooting, Diddy had unresolved issues 238 00:12:57,374 --> 00:12:59,573 with the co-founder and CEO of Death 239 00:12:59,574 --> 00:13:04,980 Row Records, the label that Tupac was signed to, Suge Knight. 240 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,880 And one other thing I'd like to say, 241 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,780 any artist out there that wants to be an artist, and want to stay a star, 242 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,693 and don't want to have to worry about the 243 00:13:22,694 --> 00:13:25,053 executive producers trying to be all in the 244 00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:31,000 video, all on the record, dancing, come to Death Row. 245 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,700 The date is September 23, 1995, 246 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,213 and the record producer Jermaine Dupri is throwing 247 00:13:45,214 --> 00:13:47,660 a party to celebrate his birthday in Atlanta, 248 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,053 inviting all of his celebrity friends, including both 249 00:13:51,054 --> 00:13:52,180 Diddy and Suge Knight. 250 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,893 Things remained calm during the event, but the 251 00:13:55,894 --> 00:13:59,053 afterparty was where all the trouble began, a 252 00:13:59,054 --> 00:14:02,680 common occurrence that seems to happen when Diddy's around. 253 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,013 Suge Knight arrived at the Platinum House nightclub 254 00:14:06,014 --> 00:14:08,933 with only one person, his friend Big Jake, 255 00:14:08,934 --> 00:14:11,640 who also happened to be an OG Blood member. 256 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,413 Diddy was surrounded by an entourage filled with 257 00:14:14,414 --> 00:14:16,820 a lot of street guys with gang affiliations, 258 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,973 one notably being Anthony Wolf Jones, who was 259 00:14:19,974 --> 00:14:23,660 known to be Diddy's right-hand man and also a member of the Crips. 260 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,933 According to an off-duty Fulton County Sheriff 261 00:14:26,934 --> 00:14:28,533 by the name of Chris Howard who was 262 00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:31,253 working as security that night, Diddy and Suge 263 00:14:31,254 --> 00:14:34,260 inevitably ended up getting into a heated confrontation, 264 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,360 resulting in both parties being asked to leave the club. 265 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,973 In an attempt to avoid the altercation getting 266 00:14:39,974 --> 00:14:42,813 any worse outside, Suge's party was asked to 267 00:14:42,814 --> 00:14:45,780 remain inside whilst Diddy's entourage cleared out. 268 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,380 But of course, things only got worse once they hit the streets. 269 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,293 As Howard recalled, I told Suge, okay, coast 270 00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:58,440 is clear, and we walked outside and got into the limo. 271 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,933 His partner was just about ready to get into the limo when all of a sudden 272 00:15:01,934 --> 00:15:05,460 Puffy's guys came from around the corner and one of them had a gun. 273 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,400 I chased the guy with the gun around the corner. 274 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,080 Howard said, he handed the gun off to another guy. 275 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,573 It was a .45. By the time I got back out front, that's when the guy 276 00:15:17,574 --> 00:15:19,100 took a shot at Suge's partner. 277 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,380 He shot him two or three times. 278 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,013 Howard said he had drawn his weapon but 279 00:15:24,014 --> 00:15:27,240 couldn't fire because a crowd had gathered outside the club. 280 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,180 He said he saw the shooter jump into a car carrying Cobb's associates. 281 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,133 I couldn't see who was driving, but all the guys who were with Puffy ran to 282 00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:37,733 the car when the shooting took place, Howard said. 283 00:15:37,734 --> 00:15:40,880 Then the shooter jumped in, and they drove off. 284 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,653 Fifteen minutes later the police arrived, but by 285 00:15:43,654 --> 00:15:45,453 that point the shooter was nowhere to be 286 00:15:45,454 --> 00:15:47,500 found and no weapon was ever recovered. 287 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,453 The victim, Jake Robles, also known as Big 288 00:15:51,454 --> 00:15:54,320 Jake, died in the hospital a few weeks later. 289 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,973 A lot of speculation followed that night over 290 00:15:56,974 --> 00:15:59,653 who actually shot Big Jake, but Jermaine Dupree 291 00:15:59,654 --> 00:16:02,860 and many others believed it was Wolf who took the fatal shot. 292 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,933 This was the night that officially turned a 293 00:16:05,934 --> 00:16:09,440 competition in hip-hop to a full-blown beef. 294 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,933 With Bloods and Crips now involved in the 295 00:16:12,934 --> 00:16:16,053 beef, things turned violent quickly, and over the 296 00:16:16,054 --> 00:16:18,180 following year a lot of blood was shed, 297 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,813 including the blood of the superstar of Death 298 00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:25,020 Row, Tupac, and eventually the legendary Notorious B.I.G. 299 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,533 With all that was going on, tensions rose to a point where both Biggie 300 00:16:35,534 --> 00:16:38,333 and Tupac ended up losing their lives, and 301 00:16:38,334 --> 00:16:40,693 with Diddy being so heavily associated with the 302 00:16:40,694 --> 00:16:43,300 drama, many believed him to be involved somehow. 303 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,140 He denies all involvement to this day. 304 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,380 Regardless, this is just one example of Diddy's nefarious activities. 305 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,260 If we delve even further into his past, 306 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,340 we begin to see a pattern of violence. 307 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,093 For example, in 1999 Diddy caught his first 308 00:17:01,094 --> 00:17:03,693 assault charge following the accidental release of a 309 00:17:03,694 --> 00:17:07,320 Nas music video for the song Hate Me Now. 310 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,693 ♪ You can hate me now ♪ 311 00:17:10,694 --> 00:17:13,773 ♪ Q.B. ♪

--> 00:17:27,733 carrying large wooden crosses on their backs and 318 00:17:27,734 --> 00:17:29,620 being flogged by an angry mob. 319 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,693 The full video remained buried for 20 years 320 00:17:32,694 --> 00:17:36,453 until 2022 when a user named HipHopVCR posted 321 00:17:36,454 --> 00:17:39,373 the entire music video on Patreon, and as 322 00:17:39,374 --> 00:17:41,940 expected, the reception was widely negative. 323 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,900 Diddy, having been raised in the Catholic Church, 324 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,733 had a chat with his priest before the 325 00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:49,653 release of the video and decided he no 326 00:17:49,654 --> 00:17:52,140 longer wanted his crucifixion scene included. 327 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,733 However, by the time he came to that 328 00:17:54,734 --> 00:17:57,533 decision it was already too late, large sums 329 00:17:57,534 --> 00:18:00,100 of money had been spent, and Steve Stout, 330 00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:02,860 Nas's manager, was reluctant to make the change, 331 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,613 especially given the fact that the crucifixion scene 332 00:18:05,614 --> 00:18:07,580 was Diddy's idea in the first place. 333 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,973 On April 15th, 1999, the uncut music video 334 00:18:11,974 --> 00:18:15,540 aired on national TV, and according to XXL, 335 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,373 it was only a matter of minutes before 336 00:18:17,374 --> 00:18:19,853 Diddy and his bodyguards burst into Steve's office 337 00:18:19,854 --> 00:18:22,733 to violently assault him in front of two clients. 338 00:18:22,734 --> 00:18:26,760 While speaking to the LA Times, Steve recounts the incident. 339 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,573 One minute I'm in the middle of a meeting and the next I'm down on the 340 00:18:30,574 --> 00:18:33,440 floor and Puffy and his guys are kicking and pounding me. 341 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,040 One of them picks up a chair and throws it at me. 342 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,493 Then Puffy throws my desk over and they 343 00:18:38,494 --> 00:18:40,420 just walk out like nothing happened. 344 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,060 I was laying there on the floor bleeding. 345 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,380 My jaw and my head were all swollen. 346 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,260 I couldn't move my arm. 347 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,493 It was a traumatic experience and in the 348 00:18:49,494 --> 00:18:52,133 middle of it I didn't know exactly how to feel. 349 00:18:52,134 --> 00:18:55,460 I was upset, embarrassed, scared, and angry. 350 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,420 As far as I'm concerned this was an attempt on my life. 351 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,613 Almost instantly, Diddy was arrested, criminally charged, and 352 00:19:07,614 --> 00:19:09,693 faced up to seven years in prison until 353 00:19:09,694 --> 00:19:11,573 Steve suddenly had a change of heart and 354 00:19:11,574 --> 00:19:14,860 asked the DA's office to drop the charges once Diddy apologized. 355 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,933 And if that wasn't enough, one of the 356 00:19:19,934 --> 00:19:22,533 most high-profile controversies involving P. 357 00:19:22,534 --> 00:19:26,280 Diddy was the 1999 shooting at Club New York. 358 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,013 On December 28th, 1999, Sean Combs and then 359 00:19:36,014 --> 00:19:38,893 - girlfriend Jennifer Lopez had been celebrating a soon 360 00:19:38,894 --> 00:19:42,213 - to-be-released album by Shine, aka Jamal 361 00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:46,740 Barrow, the rap mogul's 21-year-old protege at Midtown's Club New York. 362 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:55,933 They were leaving when Combs, carrying a bottle 363 00:19:55,934 --> 00:19:58,893 of champagne, accidentally jostled one of the club's 364 00:19:58,894 --> 00:20:01,340 patrons, knocking a drink out of his hand. 365 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,453 The man, Matthew Allen, a street tough known 366 00:20:04,454 --> 00:20:07,060 as Scar, responded with a shove. 367 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,780 Things escalated. 368 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,253 One of Allen's companions allegedly threw a stack 369 00:20:11,254 --> 00:20:13,693 of money in Combs' face, and shots were 370 00:20:13,694 --> 00:20:15,700 fired, leaving three people injured. 371 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,293 Combs and Lopez were arrested fleeing the scene 372 00:20:19,294 --> 00:20:21,933 in a Lincoln Navigator with a gun in the trunk. 373 00:20:21,934 --> 00:20:25,133 J. Lo was quickly absolved, and although witnesses said 374 00:20:25,134 --> 00:20:27,373 they'd seen Combs with the weapon, and his 375 00:20:27,374 --> 00:20:29,813 driver testified that his boss had bribed him 376 00:20:29,814 --> 00:20:33,173 to claim ownership, his legal team, including Johnny 377 00:20:33,174 --> 00:20:37,160 Cochran, created enough doubt that Combs was acquitted too. 378 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,940 I don't know if you know this judge, 379 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,420 but this person Jennifer Lopez is a very famous actress. 380 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,533 One lawyer pointed out, To think Mr. Combs 381 00:20:47,534 --> 00:20:50,333 is walking around with her with a loaded gun. 382 00:20:50,334 --> 00:20:53,060 It's so ridiculous that it stretches the imagination. 383 00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:58,613 In the end, it was Shine who served 384 00:20:58,614 --> 00:21:01,693 almost nine years for assault, gun possession, and 385 00:21:01,694 --> 00:21:05,133 reckless endangerment, though he did so angrily, claiming 386 00:21:05,134 --> 00:21:08,000 Combs had sold him out to save his own skin. 387 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,893 After his acquittal, Combs changed his nickname to P. 388 00:21:11,894 --> 00:21:14,293 Diddy in hopes of putting the past behind 389 00:21:14,294 --> 00:21:18,500 him, but the case still casts a shadow over his reputation to this day. 390 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:24,820 This was just another example of Diddy's involvement in shady situations. 391 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,693 It seems that his abusive past has always 392 00:21:27,694 --> 00:21:30,220 been one of the industry's worst kept secrets, 393 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,693 and it's important to note here just how 394 00:21:32,694 --> 00:21:36,280 popular and powerful Diddy was becoming at this point. 395 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,953 Following the tragic murder of The Notorious B.I.G., 396 00:21:39,954 --> 00:21:42,493 Diddy's tribute single, I'll Be Missing You, 397 00:21:42,494 --> 00:21:45,213 featuring Faith Evans, debuted at number one 398 00:21:45,214 --> 00:21:47,573 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained in 399 00:21:47,574 --> 00:21:49,853 the number one spot for an astounding 11 400 00:21:49,854 --> 00:21:53,560 weeks, as well as topping charts around the world. 401 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,933 Diddy's mainstream celebrity status continued growing with the 402 00:21:56,934 --> 00:21:59,700 release of his debut album, No Way Out, 403 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,733 which sold 3.4 million physical copies in 404 00:22:02,734 --> 00:22:04,980 the United States alone, going platinum. 405 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,693 He even managed to earn five Grammy nominations 406 00:22:07,694 --> 00:22:12,300 for this album in 1997, going on to win for Best Rap Album. 407 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,413 In 1998, he created the Sean John clothing 408 00:22:16,414 --> 00:22:18,900 line that later became a cultural phenomenon. 409 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,613 From there, he dipped into fragrances, alcohol, and 410 00:22:22,614 --> 00:22:25,053 even set up a media company, becoming the 411 00:22:25,054 --> 00:22:27,373 host of multiple reality shows where he would 412 00:22:27,374 --> 00:22:30,220 discover new talent and make people stars. 413 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,053 Diddy was hanging out with all the hottest 414 00:22:33,054 --> 00:22:36,800 celebs, from Kanye West to Donald Trump and Martha Stewart. 415 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,180 By now, he was rich. 416 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,759 Filthy rich. 417 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,973 It's estimated that he has more than $800 418 00:22:42,974 --> 00:22:46,220 million in valuation of property and assets. 419 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,413 And according to a business insider, Diddy's record 420 00:22:49,414 --> 00:22:53,800 label brought in about $130 million annually in its prime. 421 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,093 It's safe to say that his lifestyle was 422 00:22:56,094 --> 00:22:58,253 nothing short of lavish, and with all of 423 00:22:58,254 --> 00:23:00,533 his fame and wealth, he became known for 424 00:23:00,534 --> 00:23:04,460 putting on some of the most extravagant parties for his celebrity friends. 425 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,853 But once the main party had ended and 426 00:23:06,854 --> 00:23:08,900 the majority of the guests had gone home, 427 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,973 this is allegedly where the more obscene activities 428 00:23:11,974 --> 00:23:14,980 would begin, better known as freak-offs. 429 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,653 During these freak-offs, another side of Combs 430 00:23:18,654 --> 00:23:22,493 would come out, and it was only a matter of time before the true Diddy was 431 00:23:22,494 --> 00:23:24,300 exposed for the world to see. 432 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,973 Hey there, I'm Lindsay Sharp, joining Ashton and 433 00:23:42,974 --> 00:23:44,973 Diddy this year in Beverly Hills where they 434 00:23:44,974 --> 00:23:46,533 brought the infamous White Party. 435 00:23:46,534 --> 00:23:50,220 It's Fourth of July, but we're also shining a light on Malaria No More. 436 00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,013 A Sean Diddy Combs party invitation was once 437 00:24:03,014 --> 00:24:06,293 the ultimate Hollywood pass, with guest lists featuring 438 00:24:06,294 --> 00:24:09,733 A-listers like Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Paris 439 00:24:09,734 --> 00:24:11,340 Hilton, and Jennifer Lopez. 440 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,420 These events were a star-studded affair. 441 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,700 Even Jay-Z and Beyonce have used Diddy's parties to debut new music. 442 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,293 Oh man, it was like maybe over a decade ago. 443 00:24:24,294 --> 00:24:26,053 I moved to a new neighborhood and they 444 00:24:26,054 --> 00:24:27,693 were like, well what's this guy doing moving 445 00:24:27,694 --> 00:24:29,933 here in East Hamptons, and you know, and 446 00:24:29,934 --> 00:24:32,413 he has this estate on the water, what's going on? 447 00:24:32,414 --> 00:24:34,673 And so I said everybody, come on over, 448 00:24:34,674 --> 00:24:36,333 come on over to the house so y'all get to know me. 449 00:24:36,334 --> 00:24:39,140 Let me invite some of my friends from Harlem, from 145th Street. 450 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,173 Let me mix y'all together so y 'all know you ain't got nothing to be afraid of. 451 00:24:42,174 --> 00:24:44,093 You ain't got to hold hold your pocketbooks 452 00:24:44,094 --> 00:24:46,293 tight or nothing when I'm jogging in the neighborhood. 453 00:24:46,294 --> 00:24:47,653 And you know, then it was history. 454 00:24:47,654 --> 00:24:50,573 Everybody became friends, and a lot of people, 455 00:24:50,574 --> 00:24:53,380 you know, really kept friendships from that. 456 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,133 It was something that I just did every 457 00:24:55,134 --> 00:24:56,613 summer, you know, in the Hamptons, and I 458 00:24:56,614 --> 00:25:01,333 took it overseas to Saint-Tropez, and then I brought it here to L.A., and you know. 459 00:25:01,334 --> 00:25:03,760 Now why did you decide to bring it to L.A. this time around? 460 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,453 I was out here shooting a movie, and 461 00:25:05,454 --> 00:25:08,013 just out here meeting new people, and really 462 00:25:08,014 --> 00:25:09,813 also it was just the prime place to 463 00:25:09,814 --> 00:25:13,293 do because of, you know, Ashton's located here, 464 00:25:13,294 --> 00:25:14,980 and to do the whole malaria no more. 465 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,453 Oh well, I've never been to the white 466 00:25:17,454 --> 00:25:22,173 party before, and this is definitely a big way to spend the Fourth of July. 467 00:25:22,174 --> 00:25:23,980 I can't imagine it any other way, but 468 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,213 being in New York all the other years, 469 00:25:26,214 --> 00:25:27,813 just seeing the fireworks and everything, L.A. 470 00:25:27,814 --> 00:25:30,773 was just a change of scenery, so I'm excited about it. 471 00:25:30,774 --> 00:25:34,160 Lastly, what makes Ashton and Diddy the perfect process for the night? 472 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,500 They're just a dynamic duo. 473 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,453 They're big together, so I don't know. 474 00:25:39,454 --> 00:25:40,933 I'm excited to see what's inside. 475 00:25:40,934 --> 00:25:42,320 I don't know what's gonna happen. 476 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,773 In the Los Angeles area, the rapper lived 477 00:25:49,774 --> 00:25:51,940 on what has become known as Beverly Hills' 478 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,180 most expensive street. 479 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,573 The high fences allow celebrities to hide from 480 00:25:56,574 --> 00:26:01,140 prying eyes, and Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion sits only a few doors down. 481 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,293 Diddy's mansion in Beverly Hills was one of 482 00:26:04,294 --> 00:26:06,493 several venues he used to host his annual 483 00:26:06,494 --> 00:26:11,620 White Party, a flagship event which he held from 1998 to 2009. 484 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,733 He began the parties in New York's exclusive 485 00:26:14,734 --> 00:26:17,093 Hamptons area with a strict all-white dress 486 00:26:17,094 --> 00:26:19,853 code, bringing together East Hampton's old-money elite 487 00:26:19,854 --> 00:26:22,220 and the rising stars of hip-hop. 488 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,213 Mr. Combs once described the parties as a 489 00:26:25,214 --> 00:26:28,020 way to break down racial and generational barriers, 490 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,493 but the hottest party of the year was 491 00:26:30,494 --> 00:26:34,720 a facade that allowed sinister conduct, according to recent lawsuits. 492 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,853 In a lawsuit, a man, who was 16 493 00:26:38,854 --> 00:26:41,213 years old at the time, described the thrill 494 00:26:41,214 --> 00:26:45,820 of getting to attend Mr. Combs' first White Party in 1998. 495 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,973 Walking into the Hamptons' mansion, he saw celebrities 496 00:26:49,974 --> 00:26:52,340 and entertainment executives left and right. 497 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,973 In the lawsuit, he said he believed the 498 00:26:54,974 --> 00:26:57,100 party could open doors to a music career. 499 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,020 He said he was on his way to the bathroom when he ran into the rapper. 500 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,300 They started talking and then moved to another, more private area. 501 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,773 That's when Mr. Combs said the teen had 502 00:27:08,774 --> 00:27:13,700 the right look and he could turn anyone into a star, the lawsuit states. 503 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,380 Then things took a dark turn. 504 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,773 Mr. Combs abruptly ordered the then-teenage boy 505 00:27:21,774 --> 00:27:23,853 to drop his pants so that Mr. Combs 506 00:27:23,854 --> 00:27:26,820 could examine and touch him, the lawsuit alleges. 507 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,213 According to the lawsuit, Mr. Combs said it 508 00:27:30,214 --> 00:27:33,500 was a rite of passage and the route to becoming a star. 509 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,133 It also claims that he said it was a way for him to prove himself, asking 510 00:27:38,134 --> 00:27:41,800 the teen, don't you want to break into the business? 511 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,413 As more and more people come out with 512 00:27:46,414 --> 00:27:49,213 claims against Mr. Combs, the internet has begun 513 00:27:49,214 --> 00:27:51,253 to draw links between some of the recent 514 00:27:51,254 --> 00:27:54,333 allegations and what some would describe as suspicious 515 00:27:54,334 --> 00:27:57,093 relationships with a couple well-known artists who 516 00:27:57,094 --> 00:28:00,400 were frequently around Diddy in the earlier stages of their careers. 517 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,400 That's why I don’t be going to them puffy parties. 518 00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:06,360 Uh-huh. 519 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,200 They can hug you from the front and the back of the seat, huh? 520 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,813 What you talking about? 521 00:28:11,814 --> 00:28:13,140 P Diddy be wanting to party. 522 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:14,940 And you gotta tell him no. 523 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:16,693 You've got to tell him no. 524 00:28:16,694 --> 00:28:20,773 In August 2016, R&B legend Usher appeared 525 00:28:20,774 --> 00:28:22,893 on The Howard Stern Show where he described 526 00:28:22,894 --> 00:28:25,840 some of his earliest years in the music industry. 527 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,293 At just 15, Usher was already collaborating with 528 00:28:29,294 --> 00:28:32,493 established executive Sean Combs, who was happy to 529 00:28:32,494 --> 00:28:36,060 co-produce the young artist's self-titled album in 1994. 530 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,080 But this didn't simply end as a business relationship. 531 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,893 It seems that the pair seemed to get 532 00:28:41,894 --> 00:28:45,693 very close as Usher told Howard that he lived with the mogul for up to a 533 00:28:45,694 --> 00:28:47,420 year without his parents even knowing. 534 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,853 Diddy introduced Usher to an entirely new world, 535 00:28:50,854 --> 00:28:53,253 he said, one that was wildly inappropriate for 536 00:28:53,254 --> 00:28:56,120 someone who was as young as Usher was at the time. 537 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,333 Remember, Usher was just a teenager and Diddy was well into his 20s. 538 00:29:00,334 --> 00:29:01,293 In the 90s. 539 00:29:01,294 --> 00:29:02,773 Do you understand what that's like? 540 00:29:02,774 --> 00:29:04,813 Puffy's place was like just filled with chicks 541 00:29:04,814 --> 00:29:06,693 and orgy and like non-stop, right? 542 00:29:06,694 --> 00:29:07,780 No, not really. 543 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,213 I mean, but hey, it was curious. 544 00:29:10,214 --> 00:29:11,653 I got a chance to see some things. 545 00:29:11,654 --> 00:29:12,533 Yeah, but you were 13, 546 00:29:12,534 --> 00:29:14,533 - What were you seeing? - I went there to see the lifestyle. 547 00:29:14,534 --> 00:29:15,653 - Right. - And I saw it. 548 00:29:15,654 --> 00:29:18,413 In fact, in a 2004 interview with Rolling 549 00:29:18,414 --> 00:29:21,173 Stone, Usher revealed that Diddy had shown him 550 00:29:21,174 --> 00:29:25,440 a totally different set of things, specifically when it came to sex. 551 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,380 Girls were always around, Usher explained. 552 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,813 You'd open a door and see somebody doing 553 00:29:30,814 --> 00:29:33,759 it, or several people in a room having an orgy. 554 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,540 You never knew what was going to happen. 555 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,160 Fast forward 12 years and Usher's testimony hasn't changed a bit. 556 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,333 It was during this interview that Usher confirmed 557 00:29:43,334 --> 00:29:44,933 once more that he got a chance to 558 00:29:44,934 --> 00:29:47,573 see some interesting things whilst living under Diddy's 559 00:29:47,574 --> 00:29:50,253 roof, and despite being a child, he was 560 00:29:50,254 --> 00:29:53,300 exposed to an explicit lifestyle he couldn't understand. 561 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,853 Finally, Howard asks if he'd ever send his 562 00:29:56,854 --> 00:29:59,453 own kids to Puffy Flavor Camp, and Usher's 563 00:29:59,454 --> 00:30:03,100 immediate response to this question tells us all we really need to know. 564 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,140 But it wasn't just these videos that were re-emerging in the public psyche. 565 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,053 A couple YouTube videos featuring a 15-year 566 00:30:15,054 --> 00:30:17,373 - old Justin Bieber were suddenly making rounds on 567 00:30:17,374 --> 00:30:19,700 the internet in light of Diddy's recent allegations. 568 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,733 Originally posted in November 2009, right as Justin 569 00:30:27,734 --> 00:30:30,533 was becoming a global superstar, the two-minute 570 00:30:30,534 --> 00:30:34,093 video has generated headlines again, mainly due to 571 00:30:34,094 --> 00:30:36,060 it being such an uncomfortable watch. 572 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,493 Titled Justin Bieber's 48 Hours With Diddy, the 573 00:30:40,494 --> 00:30:43,133 first 30 seconds feature Diddy gifting the young 574 00:30:43,134 --> 00:30:46,453 pop star a brand new Lamborghini and promises 575 00:30:46,454 --> 00:30:52,013 Justin that in a year, when he turns 16, this car is all his, and when 576 00:30:52,014 --> 00:30:55,960 he turns 18, the giant mansion behind them is his too. 577 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,053 Justin asks him where they're going, and when 578 00:30:59,054 --> 00:31:00,773 Diddy asks him where he wants to go, 579 00:31:00,774 --> 00:31:03,260 that's when it gets slightly more awkward. 580 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,613 Some claim that people are reading too deeply 581 00:31:07,614 --> 00:31:10,493 into things, but given all the allegations against 582 00:31:10,494 --> 00:31:13,133 Diddy, there's good reason to believe that something 583 00:31:13,134 --> 00:31:14,860 shady may have been going on. 584 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,780 Check this out yo, um, Justin, he's in, you ever seen the movie 48 hours? 585 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,453 Right now he's having 48 hours with Diddy, 586 00:31:21,454 --> 00:31:24,093 him and his boy, um, they're having the 587 00:31:24,094 --> 00:31:26,733 times of their lives, like, like, like, you 588 00:31:26,734 --> 00:31:28,093 know, where we hanging out and what we 589 00:31:28,094 --> 00:31:33,420 doing, um, we can't really disclose, but, um, 590 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,580 it's definitely a 15 year old's dream. 591 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,493 The implications that a grown man like Diddy is about to go out and help a 592 00:31:41,494 --> 00:31:45,039 teenager find girls is pretty odd at face value. 593 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,453 This could have all been some sort of 594 00:31:46,454 --> 00:31:49,973 harmless promo for Diddy's album or some sort of project. 595 00:31:49,974 --> 00:31:52,660 However, given the mountain of allegations against Diddy, 596 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,813 it makes sense why all of these videos 597 00:31:54,814 --> 00:31:56,620 have come back under public scrutiny. 598 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,813 2024 has been a harrowing year for Sean Combs. 599 00:32:08,814 --> 00:32:11,813 Two years ago, the rap musician and mogul 600 00:32:11,814 --> 00:32:14,453 threw a lavish 53rd birthday party at his 601 00:32:14,454 --> 00:32:17,100 $61 million mansion in Beverly Hills. 602 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,453 A host of stars lined up to toast 603 00:32:19,454 --> 00:32:24,060 his career, with a guest list that included Travis Scott, Mary J. 604 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,100 Blige, Chris Brown, and Machine Gun Kelly. 605 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,773 Fast forward to 2024, and his career is on the ropes. 606 00:32:31,774 --> 00:32:34,093 In a case filed in New York, the 607 00:32:34,094 --> 00:32:36,773 star has been accused of kidnapping, drugging, and 608 00:32:36,774 --> 00:32:40,213 coercing women into sexual activities, sometimes through the 609 00:32:40,214 --> 00:32:42,540 use of firearms and threats of violence. 610 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,653 The same Los Angeles mansion that hosted his 611 00:32:45,654 --> 00:32:48,140 birthday party was raided by police in March. 612 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,693 There, officers seized supplies that they say were 613 00:32:51,694 --> 00:32:53,973 intended for use in orgies known as freak 614 00:32:53,974 --> 00:32:56,813 - offs, including drugs and more than 1,000 615 00:32:56,814 --> 00:32:58,060 bottles of baby oil. 616 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,373 Mr. Combs has denied all the charges, entering 617 00:33:02,374 --> 00:33:05,813 a not guilty plea on Tuesday, the 17th of September. 618 00:33:05,814 --> 00:33:08,773 The federal government is very deliberate in when 619 00:33:08,774 --> 00:33:10,773 they bring criminal charges and for them to 620 00:33:10,774 --> 00:33:13,493 be executing this warrant now, I imagine this 621 00:33:13,494 --> 00:33:15,933 investigation has been going on for months or 622 00:33:15,934 --> 00:33:19,053 longer and they usually do not indict someone, 623 00:33:19,054 --> 00:33:22,940 especially someone of this kind of public magnitude, 624 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,093 without having all their ducks already lined up. 625 00:33:26,094 --> 00:33:28,679 So I imagine it is a very serious case. 626 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,653 The court case comes after a year in 627 00:33:30,654 --> 00:33:33,960 which the musician has faced lawsuits from a number of women. 628 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,700 Let's rewind to see where his current court situations began. 629 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:46,960 It alleges that between at least 2008 and 630 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,813 the present, Combs abused, threatened, and coerced victims 631 00:33:52,814 --> 00:33:56,300 to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, 632 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,260 and conceal his conduct. 633 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,053 On November 16th, 2023, singer and model Cassandra 634 00:34:03,054 --> 00:34:06,920 Ventura filed a lawsuit against the music mogul Sean Combs. 635 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,253 Cassie and Diddy were in an on-off 636 00:34:09,254 --> 00:34:15,980 relationship from 2007 to 2018, beginning when Cassie was 19 and Combs 37. 637 00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:19,653 Cassie was signed to Mr. Combs' record label 638 00:34:19,654 --> 00:34:21,460 and dated him for more than a decade, 639 00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:24,013 but in a civil lawsuit, she said the 640 00:34:24,014 --> 00:34:26,053 mogul had used his position of power to 641 00:34:26,054 --> 00:34:29,173 set the groundwork for a manipulative and coercive 642 00:34:29,174 --> 00:34:31,180 romantic and sexual relationship. 643 00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:35,060 Her lawsuit included graphic descriptions of violent abuse, 644 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,053 alleging that Mr. Combs regularly beat and kicked 645 00:34:38,054 --> 00:34:41,340 Ms. Ventura, leaving black eyes, bruises, and blood. 646 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,013 She described parties known as freak-offs, drug 647 00:34:45,014 --> 00:34:48,573 - fueled, days-long sexual performances, which Mr. Combs 648 00:34:48,574 --> 00:34:52,480 allegedly coerced women into and filmed for his own pleasure. 649 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,253 Ms. Ventura also accused the musician of sexual 650 00:34:56,254 --> 00:34:58,693 abuse and rape, and claimed that many of 651 00:34:58,694 --> 00:35:02,093 these incidents were witnessed by his tremendously loyal 652 00:35:02,094 --> 00:35:04,653 network, who were not willing to do anything 653 00:35:04,654 --> 00:35:06,540 meaningful to stop the violence. 654 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,693 Mr. Combs would allegedly want to have these 655 00:35:09,694 --> 00:35:12,813 freak-offs at random moments, and Ms. Ventura 656 00:35:12,814 --> 00:35:15,613 was expected to both facilitate the locations for 657 00:35:15,614 --> 00:35:17,813 where they would take place as well as 658 00:35:17,814 --> 00:35:20,220 find and hire the sex workers herself. 659 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,973 Cassie even recalls an alleged instance where she 660 00:35:23,974 --> 00:35:26,133 was cornered by his security who forced her 661 00:35:26,134 --> 00:35:28,293 to leave her friends at her 29th birthday 662 00:35:28,294 --> 00:35:30,573 party to have a spontaneous freak-off with 663 00:35:30,574 --> 00:35:33,613 Diddy at a nearby hotel, despite expressing clearly 664 00:35:33,614 --> 00:35:34,860 that she didn't want to go. 665 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,613 When the couple then returned from the freak 666 00:35:37,614 --> 00:35:41,653 - off, Diddy, still intoxicated, allegedly grabbed one of 667 00:35:41,654 --> 00:35:44,453 Cassie's friends like a child and dangled the 668 00:35:44,454 --> 00:35:48,160 over the balcony of the 17th floor hotel suite. 669 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,573 The lawsuit even goes on to name the 670 00:35:51,574 --> 00:35:54,253 exact locations where these freak-offs would occur, 671 00:35:54,254 --> 00:35:57,053 with the hotels occasionally charging Diddy thousands of 672 00:35:57,054 --> 00:35:58,580 dollars in damages afterwards. 673 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,093 She was forced to use websites and escort 674 00:36:01,094 --> 00:36:04,693 services to find male sex workers, specifically instructing 675 00:36:04,694 --> 00:36:07,133 her to search for terms like large black 676 00:36:07,134 --> 00:36:10,340 penises on the website, as the lawsuit asserts. 677 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,533 It goes on to say that Mr. Combs 678 00:36:12,534 --> 00:36:15,133 would always supply Ms. Ventura and the sex 679 00:36:15,134 --> 00:36:18,173 workers with copious amounts of drugs before and 680 00:36:18,174 --> 00:36:23,620 during the FOs, including cocaine, GBH, ketamine, marijuana, 681 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,893 and alcohol in excessive amounts, which would allow 682 00:36:26,894 --> 00:36:30,253 her to disassociate during these horrific encounters whilst 683 00:36:30,254 --> 00:36:33,053 Diddy would masturbate to Cassie having intercourse with 684 00:36:33,054 --> 00:36:34,740 other inebriated sex workers. 685 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,660 With drugs, and all the stuff that's going on, pills, 686 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:47,820 drinking, this man into a monster, and that's what it did, bro. 687 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,693 It made him into a monster, bro. 688 00:36:51,694 --> 00:36:54,253 These freak-offs would last for days, according 689 00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:56,813 to Cassie, and it became commonplace to get 690 00:36:56,814 --> 00:36:59,253 IV fluids in the days after a freak-off 691 00:36:59,254 --> 00:37:02,760 to recover from the excessive substances pushed upon her. 692 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,693 The lawsuit even alleges that Diddy insisted that 693 00:37:05,694 --> 00:37:08,173 Cassie wear white nail polish to contrast her 694 00:37:08,174 --> 00:37:11,260 nails with the skin of the men hired to have sex with her. 695 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,060 For Diddy, this was all about power. 696 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,213 The lawsuit states that Diddy would even direct 697 00:37:19,214 --> 00:37:22,573 the sexual encounters, specifically telling Cassie where he 698 00:37:22,574 --> 00:37:25,333 wanted her to touch whilst he masturbated, saying 699 00:37:25,334 --> 00:37:29,380 things like, grab that big black dick and asking her how does it feel. 700 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,933 As the lawsuit puts it, Diddy treated the 701 00:37:32,934 --> 00:37:36,213 forced encounter as a personal art project, adjusting 702 00:37:36,214 --> 00:37:39,500 the candles he used for lighting to frame the videos he took. 703 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,613 Diddy would constantly leverage his power and influence 704 00:37:44,614 --> 00:37:47,333 in the music industry to get whatever he wanted. 705 00:37:47,334 --> 00:37:50,013 He even insisted that Cassie refer to him 706 00:37:50,014 --> 00:37:54,700 as Pop-Pop upon learning that was the nickname she gave her grandfather. 707 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,133 Remember, there's a 18-year age gap between 708 00:37:58,134 --> 00:38:01,400 these two, and Diddy made it clear who was in control. 709 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,093 The pair met in late 2005 or early 710 00:38:05,094 --> 00:38:09,173 2006 after he heard Cassie's first single playing 711 00:38:09,174 --> 00:38:11,653 in a club and expressed interest in signing 712 00:38:11,654 --> 00:38:13,820 her to his Bad Boy Records label. 713 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,613 Within months, Cassie signed to a 10-album 714 00:38:17,614 --> 00:38:20,453 deal, an extremely large number of albums to 715 00:38:20,454 --> 00:38:23,053 sign away in one go, which would probably 716 00:38:23,054 --> 00:38:25,940 lead to a very drawn-out business relationship. 717 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,773 Mr. Combs would constantly flaunt his authority and 718 00:38:29,774 --> 00:38:32,413 status and assert possession and control over her 719 00:38:32,414 --> 00:38:34,893 to the point where almost all aspects of 720 00:38:34,894 --> 00:38:37,613 Ventura's life were controlled by either Mr. Combs 721 00:38:37,614 --> 00:38:39,220 or his management companies. 722 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,133 This, tied with the fact that Cassie was 723 00:38:42,134 --> 00:38:44,293 given a constant supply of drugs and pills 724 00:38:44,294 --> 00:38:47,813 out in the open, quote, like candy, explains 725 00:38:47,814 --> 00:38:50,293 how Diddy was able to maintain control over 726 00:38:50,294 --> 00:38:54,080 Ms. Ventura for so many years, starting in 2008. 727 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,373 Many people have seen similarities with this and 728 00:38:57,374 --> 00:39:00,493 the tactics used by another famous abuser, Jeffrey 729 00:39:00,494 --> 00:39:04,160 Epstein, who also drugged the many girls he kept around. 730 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,173 The next decade of Cassie's life was spent 731 00:39:09,174 --> 00:39:11,973 trapped in a vicious cycle of violence, abuse, 732 00:39:11,974 --> 00:39:14,060 and sex trafficking, according to the suit. 733 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,373 The lawsuit also alleged that Mr. Combs went 734 00:39:18,374 --> 00:39:22,213 as far as to destroy a car belonging to U.S. rapper and actor Kid Cudi 735 00:39:22,214 --> 00:39:24,140 to dissuade him from dating her. 736 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,013 In 2011, Cassie entered into a brief relationship 737 00:39:29,014 --> 00:39:32,573 with Kid Cudi, real name Scott Ramon Seguro 738 00:39:32,574 --> 00:39:35,373 Mescuti, and would often seek refuge at his 739 00:39:35,374 --> 00:39:37,260 home to escape the wrath of Diddy. 740 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,133 However, upon stealing her phone and finding an 741 00:39:41,134 --> 00:39:44,053 email exchange between Cuddy and Cassie, Diddy became 742 00:39:44,054 --> 00:39:46,933 enraged, unable to control his temper, and attempted 743 00:39:46,934 --> 00:39:51,040 to attack Cassie with a sharp corkscrew lodged between his fingers. 744 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,813 She managed to escape to Cuddy's house that 745 00:39:53,814 --> 00:39:56,613 night, ultimately returning later once she felt as 746 00:39:56,614 --> 00:39:58,460 though she could never outrun Diddy. 747 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,253 The lawsuit then alleges that he hit her and kicked her in the back as she 748 00:40:03,254 --> 00:40:04,620 tried to escape again. 749 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,733 Her parents later took photos of her bruises 750 00:40:07,734 --> 00:40:10,133 from this incident, and after a few months, 751 00:40:10,134 --> 00:40:13,133 Diddy allegedly told Cassie that he was planning 752 00:40:13,134 --> 00:40:17,253 to blow up Kid Cudi's car and wanted to be sure that Cuddy was home when 753 00:40:17,254 --> 00:40:18,320 it happened. 754 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:24,580 Sure enough, in February 2012, Kid Cudi's car exploded in his driveway. 755 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,293 This is just one example of the lengths 756 00:40:27,294 --> 00:40:30,340 in which Diddy would go to maintain his control and dominance. 757 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,140 Cassie and Combs mutually agreed to settle the case on November 17th, 2023. 758 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,133 Four days after filing her lawsuit, Cassie asked 759 00:40:46,134 --> 00:40:48,733 the court to dismiss her entire case with 760 00:40:48,734 --> 00:40:52,500 prejudice, which meant that her claims could not be filed again. 761 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,093 Speculation over why they settled so quickly dominated 762 00:40:56,094 --> 00:40:57,820 the news over the following weeks. 763 00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,400 Was she paid off? 764 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,053 Why didn't he want to face her in court? 765 00:41:02,054 --> 00:41:03,780 Was this an admission of guilt? 766 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,093 Regardless of the reasons for settling, doing so 767 00:41:10,094 --> 00:41:12,173 didn't mean an end to Diddy's legal problems. 768 00:41:12,174 --> 00:41:15,813 If anything, Cassie's case opened the floodgates for 769 00:41:15,814 --> 00:41:17,180 lawsuits against Diddy. 770 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,733 In the weeks after settling Cassie's lawsuit, Mr. 771 00:41:21,734 --> 00:41:24,293 Combs was accused of sexual assault dating back 772 00:41:24,294 --> 00:41:27,020 to 1991 by multiple women and men. 773 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,613 One of the more prominent cases came from 774 00:41:30,614 --> 00:41:33,620 Rodney Jones Jr., better known as Lil Rod, 775 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,053 a record producer from Chicago who filed a 776 00:41:36,054 --> 00:41:39,373 105-page federal complaint against Combs on February 777 00:41:39,374 --> 00:41:42,973 2nd, 2024, accusing him and the people who 778 00:41:42,974 --> 00:41:46,180 work with him of being part of an illegal racketeering enterprise. 779 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,293 Some of you may know me or may not. 780 00:41:49,294 --> 00:41:52,440 I'm a music producer who's a writer and musician. 781 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,460 Different genres. 782 00:41:54,680 --> 00:42:00,293 I started in gospel and jazz and R &B and worked my way over to the 783 00:42:00,294 --> 00:42:01,360 hip-hop side. 784 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,580 I've been working on an album. 785 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,213 I took a year off straight working on this album. 786 00:42:07,214 --> 00:42:10,320 That album is the Love Album Off the Grid by Diddy. 787 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,053 And it's Grammy nominated right now, as we speak. 788 00:42:15,054 --> 00:42:19,613 I should be celebrating, but the truth is I'm not. 789 00:42:19,614 --> 00:42:22,213 Jones alleges in his complaint that he has 790 00:42:22,214 --> 00:42:25,893 irrefutable evidence of the acquisition, use, and distribution 791 00:42:25,894 --> 00:42:30,340 of ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana, and mushrooms, 792 00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:33,813 the displaying and distribution of unregistered illegal firearms, 793 00:42:33,814 --> 00:42:36,660 and the solicitation of minors and sex workers. 794 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,413 According to Jones, as he alleges in the 795 00:42:39,414 --> 00:42:42,253 complaint, Combs reached out to Jones in 2022 796 00:42:42,254 --> 00:42:45,173 to help him produce songs, but Jones claims 797 00:42:45,174 --> 00:42:48,860 the work Combs required of him went far beyond producing music. 798 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,773 He claims in the lawsuit that he was 799 00:42:51,774 --> 00:42:54,693 tasked with procuring drugs and soliciting sex workers 800 00:42:54,694 --> 00:42:57,960 to perform sex acts to the pleasure of Mr. Combs. 801 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,413 Jones alleges that Combs also required him to 802 00:43:01,414 --> 00:43:04,613 sex acts and that Combs would often threaten 803 00:43:04,614 --> 00:43:08,660 to inflict bodily harm on him if he did not comply with his demands. 804 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,053 Jones alleged in his complaint that Combs kept 805 00:43:12,054 --> 00:43:16,093 specific bottles of alcohol designated for females on hand. 806 00:43:16,094 --> 00:43:19,093 And according to Mr. Jones, Mr. Combs forced 807 00:43:19,094 --> 00:43:21,880 all the women to drink Laced De Leon liquor. 808 00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:25,573 Upon information and belief, Mr. Combs laced the 809 00:43:25,574 --> 00:43:28,020 liquor with ecstasy, the lawsuit claims. 810 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,813 He also accuses Combs of sexual harassment and 811 00:43:31,814 --> 00:43:34,533 assault for allegedly grabbing him without his consent 812 00:43:34,534 --> 00:43:37,960 and forcing him to work while Combs paraded around naked. 813 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,573 He also alleges that Combs once left him 814 00:43:41,574 --> 00:43:44,253 alone in a makeshift studio on a yacht 815 00:43:44,254 --> 00:43:47,173 with Cuba Gooding Jr., who he said then 816 00:43:47,174 --> 00:43:51,560 began touching, groping, and fondling his upper thighs near his groin. 817 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,100 He said Gooding did not stop until he forcibly pushed him away. 818 00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:01,900 He made a bail appeal to Judge Carter. 819 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,540 It did not go our way. 820 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,940 The fight continues. 821 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,140 We're not giving up by a long shot. 822 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,293 I told Mr. Combs I'm going to try and get his case to trial as quickly 823 00:44:14,294 --> 00:44:15,360 as possible. 824 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:16,613 He's ready. 825 00:44:16,614 --> 00:44:17,680 He's focused. 826 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,573 He has been ready to defend this case 827 00:44:20,574 --> 00:44:22,540 since he first found out about this case. 828 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,940 Nothing has changed from his perspective. 829 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,013 I obviously would much prefer to fight this 830 00:44:28,014 --> 00:44:32,213 case with him out of jail, and we are going to try to bring that about 831 00:44:32,214 --> 00:44:35,580 through additional legal process. 832 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,060 Wherever he is, his resolve is the same. 833 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,140 He believes he's innocent. 834 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,813 I believe he's innocent, and we're going to 835 00:44:43,814 --> 00:44:45,333 fight this case with all of our might 836 00:44:45,334 --> 00:44:47,380 until we don't have to fight any longer. 837 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,613 Following Jones' claims, Combs' attorney Sean Holley provided 838 00:44:54,614 --> 00:44:56,813 a near-identical statement he provided to The 839 00:44:56,814 --> 00:45:00,140 New York Times on February 26, 2024. 840 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,173 Mr. Jones is nothing more than a con 841 00:45:05,174 --> 00:45:09,900 man, shamelessly looking for an easy and wholly undeserved payday, it said. 842 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,653 We have indisputable, incontrovertible proof that his claims 843 00:45:14,654 --> 00:45:16,540 are complete fabrications. 844 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,613 Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. 845 00:45:19,614 --> 00:45:23,413 Jones' attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored as 846 00:45:23,414 --> 00:45:26,300 Mr. Blackburn has refused to return our calls. 847 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,573 We look forward to addressing these ridiculous claims 848 00:45:29,574 --> 00:45:32,213 in court and intend to take all appropriate 849 00:45:32,214 --> 00:45:35,680 action against all who are attempting to peddle them. 850 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,500 But the lawsuits just kept on coming. 851 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,373 On December 2, 2023, an anonymous lawsuit was 852 00:45:43,374 --> 00:45:45,820 filed against Diddy in federal court in Manhattan. 853 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,733 Doe alleges that she was gang-raped and 854 00:45:49,734 --> 00:45:52,533 sex-trafficked by Combs and former president of 855 00:45:52,534 --> 00:45:57,420 Bad Boys Records, Harv Pierre, when she was only 17 and in the 11th grade. 856 00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:03,053 She alleges she met Pierre in a lounge in Detroit, and he told her he was 857 00:46:03,054 --> 00:46:04,540 best friends with Combs. 858 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,493 Doe claims Combs convinced her to accompany Pierre 859 00:46:08,494 --> 00:46:13,053 and a third assailant on a private jet to come to his studio in New York City. 860 00:46:13,054 --> 00:46:15,413 She claims she agreed and boarded a jet 861 00:46:15,414 --> 00:46:18,820 that flew to Teterboro, New Jersey, and was taken to Combs' studio. 862 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,893 She alleges that, once there, Combs and his 863 00:46:22,894 --> 00:46:25,933 associates, including Pierre, plied her with drugs and 864 00:46:25,934 --> 00:46:28,933 alcohol and alleges she was subsequently gang-raped 865 00:46:28,934 --> 00:46:32,960 at the studio by Combs, Pierre, and a third assailant. 866 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,093 Her complaint states that while Mr. Combs was 867 00:46:36,094 --> 00:46:38,613 raping Miss Doe, he complained that he could 868 00:46:38,614 --> 00:46:40,493 not get off unless she pinched his nipples 869 00:46:40,494 --> 00:46:42,813 as hard as she could and that Combs 870 00:46:42,814 --> 00:46:45,573 then allegedly watched as the third assailant raped 871 00:46:45,574 --> 00:46:47,500 her while she told him to stop. 872 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,853 After third assailant was finished, Mr. Pierre took 873 00:46:51,854 --> 00:46:54,013 his turn at raping Miss Doe and then 874 00:46:54,014 --> 00:46:56,340 violently forced her to give him oral sex, 875 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,493 during which Miss Doe was choking and struggling 876 00:46:58,494 --> 00:47:00,300 to breathe, according to the complaint. 877 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,973 The complaint alleges, in part, in the first 878 00:47:02,974 --> 00:47:06,453 cause of action, that defendant Combs and another 879 00:47:06,454 --> 00:47:10,973 defendant committed a, quote, violation of New York 880 00:47:10,974 --> 00:47:16,013 City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act 881 00:47:16,014 --> 00:47:23,893 by viciously and violently forcing sexual contact, oral 882 00:47:23,894 --> 00:47:28,760 sex, and sexual intercourse on the plaintiff, end quote. 883 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,213 The lawsuit also alleges that, quote, defendant Combs 884 00:47:33,214 --> 00:47:37,533 and another defendant published and or disseminated the 885 00:47:37,534 --> 00:47:41,460 videos without plaintiff's knowledge or consent. 886 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,613 A similar case was filed by Joy Dickerson 887 00:47:44,614 --> 00:47:48,133 - Neal on November 23, 2023, in New York 888 00:47:48,134 --> 00:47:50,413 Supreme Court, which was one day before the 889 00:47:50,414 --> 00:47:52,973 cutoff for civil cases for past sexual offenses 890 00:47:52,974 --> 00:47:55,100 under New York's Adult Survivors Act. 891 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,293 In her 22-page complaint, Dickerson alleges that 892 00:47:59,294 --> 00:48:01,333 she met Combs after she had appeared in 893 00:48:01,334 --> 00:48:04,740 a music video with him while she was a student at Syracuse University. 894 00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:06,973 She claims she later agreed to go out 895 00:48:06,974 --> 00:48:09,820 to dinner with him on January 3, 1991, 896 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,380 while on school break. 897 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,440 During their date, Dickerson alleged that Combs intentionally drugged her. 898 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,213 She accused Combs of sexually assaulting her and 899 00:48:19,214 --> 00:48:23,120 video recording the sexual assault, according to her complaint. 900 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,693 Days later, a male friend allegedly revealed to 901 00:48:26,694 --> 00:48:29,520 her that he, along with other men, had viewed the sex tape. 902 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,573 She asked her friend who had seen the 903 00:48:31,574 --> 00:48:34,300 tape, and her friend allegedly told her everyone. 904 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,733 Dickerson claims from that point, her life went 905 00:48:37,734 --> 00:48:40,733 into a tailspin, and after returning to college, 906 00:48:40,734 --> 00:48:42,333 she had to be admitted to the hospital 907 00:48:42,334 --> 00:48:45,180 for severe depression and suicidal ideation. 908 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,973 Dickerson claims she has suffered a lifetime of 909 00:48:48,974 --> 00:48:52,700 injuries from being drugged, sexually assaulted, and abused. 910 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:58,653 The internal pain after being sexually assaulted has 911 00:48:58,654 --> 00:49:02,480 been incredibly deep and hard to put into words. 912 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:09,140 It goes beyond just physical harm caused by and during the assault. 913 00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:17,173 Some of the hardest parts of this pain are the shame and the guilt I have 914 00:49:17,174 --> 00:49:21,053 experienced that plays a negative part in my 915 00:49:21,054 --> 00:49:24,300 day-to-day ability to function properly. 916 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:33,460 Being blamed, questioned, and threatened has often made me feel worthless. 917 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,340 She is suing him for assault and battery, 918 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,933 intentional infliction of emotional distress, human trafficking, and 919 00:49:42,934 --> 00:49:44,000 revenge porn. 920 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,700 Through a spokesperson, Combs denied and rejected the claims of misconduct. 921 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,300 “He recognizes this as a money grab”, 922 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,820 the spokesperson said in a statement. 923 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,013 About your own style, you're well known for 924 00:50:02,014 --> 00:50:03,373 your style, you all look fantastic. 925 00:50:03,374 --> 00:50:04,253 - Yeah. - Thank you. 926 00:50:04,254 --> 00:50:05,860 I mean your style has evolved too. 927 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,973 Yeah, yeah, I think my style has evolved, but also at the same 928 00:50:10,974 --> 00:50:12,733 time, it's important that I do make an 929 00:50:12,734 --> 00:50:16,940 announcement that there has been a lot of swagger jacking of my style. 930 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,733 Another lawsuit comes from someone who used to 931 00:50:20,734 --> 00:50:23,820 work directly with the music mogul, Dawn Richard, 932 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,613 who was a member in two of Combs's 933 00:50:25,614 --> 00:50:28,613 musical groups, Danity Cain, and then Diddy Dirty 934 00:50:28,614 --> 00:50:32,213 Money, filed a 55-page lawsuit against Combs 935 00:50:32,214 --> 00:50:35,653 in Manhattan's federal court, saying she personally witnessed 936 00:50:35,654 --> 00:50:38,580 Combs assault his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. 937 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,973 Richard's suit claims that his abuse included choking 938 00:50:41,974 --> 00:50:44,693 and strangling Miss Ventura, striking her with his 939 00:50:44,694 --> 00:50:47,573 hands and with objects, slapping her, punching her, 940 00:50:47,574 --> 00:50:50,760 and throwing items at her, including a scalding hot pan. 941 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,293 Richard also describes trying to help Ventura and 942 00:50:54,294 --> 00:50:56,340 Combs threatening her life in return. 943 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,293 Richard's lawsuit alleges that Combs regularly hurled objects 944 00:51:00,294 --> 00:51:03,700 and fits of rage, including mobile phones, laptops, 945 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,700 food, and studio equipment at people. 946 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,293 Richard says she also saw Kim Porter, the 947 00:51:09,294 --> 00:51:11,573 mother of three of Combs' children, leave the 948 00:51:11,574 --> 00:51:16,260 recording studio in 2005 in tears and with visible facial injuries. 949 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,413 Richard claims she was present when Combs had 950 00:51:19,414 --> 00:51:21,853 a party and that dozens of girls, some 951 00:51:21,854 --> 00:51:24,173 of whom appeared to be underage, were given 952 00:51:24,174 --> 00:51:26,853 drugs and alcohol, and that even though many 953 00:51:26,854 --> 00:51:29,893 of them appeared lethargic or passed out, Mr. 954 00:51:29,894 --> 00:51:32,733 Combs and his guests performed sexual acts on 955 00:51:32,734 --> 00:51:34,580 them, according to her complaint. 956 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,613 Richard's lawsuit states that Mr. Combs repeatedly said 957 00:51:38,614 --> 00:51:40,740 things like, "'This is a buffet. 958 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,260 Enjoy yourselves. 959 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:43,820 "'This is what we do. 960 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,333 This is how we party.'" Richard says she 961 00:51:47,334 --> 00:51:50,253 was concerned for her safety, was subjected to 962 00:51:50,254 --> 00:51:53,613 gender-motivated violence, and was sexually harassed and 963 00:51:53,614 --> 00:51:54,940 assaulted by Combs. 964 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,013 She is suing Combs for sex trafficking, sexual 965 00:51:59,014 --> 00:52:02,773 assault, sexual battery, and false imprisonment, among other 966 00:52:02,774 --> 00:52:05,740 claims, and is demanding a jury trial. 967 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,013 And Diddy wasn't the only Combs family member 968 00:52:13,014 --> 00:52:14,620 that was facing legal trouble. 969 00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:19,520 Accusations were made against his son, Christian Combs, too. 970 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,693 Sean Combs' 26-year-old son, Christian King 971 00:52:26,694 --> 00:52:29,940 Combs, is being sued for sexual assault, battery, 972 00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:34,520 and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other allegations. 973 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,413 The 31-page lawsuit brought by Grace O'Marque 974 00:52:38,414 --> 00:52:41,293 claims that she was sexually assaulted while working 975 00:52:41,294 --> 00:52:43,333 as a yacht deckhand for the family during 976 00:52:43,334 --> 00:52:45,980 Christmas break in 2022 in the Caribbean. 977 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:51,053 She is also asking that Sean Combs be held liable for his son's actions. 978 00:52:51,054 --> 00:52:52,133 O'Marque is facing legal actions for charting the 979 00:52:52,134 --> 00:52:56,333 yacht, assuming responsibility for his guests throughout the Caribbean trip. 980 00:52:56,334 --> 00:52:57,540 That's King Combs. 981 00:52:58,280 --> 00:52:59,980 He's gonna be way bigger than me. 982 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,253 O'Marque alleges that there was a constant rotation 983 00:53:03,254 --> 00:53:05,533 of suspected sex workers and other A-list 984 00:53:05,534 --> 00:53:08,893 celebrities, such as French Montana and actor Cuba 985 00:53:08,894 --> 00:53:10,780 Gooding Jr. on the yacht. 986 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,893 O'Marque alleges sex workers were sprawled out unconscious 987 00:53:14,894 --> 00:53:17,373 about that yacht, and it was difficult to 988 00:53:17,374 --> 00:53:19,973 distinguish which bottles of alcohol were laced with 989 00:53:19,974 --> 00:53:21,940 drugs and which bottles were not. 990 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,140 In the early morning of December 28th, 2022, 991 00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:30,580 a heavily intoxicated Christian Combs physically assaulted her, 992 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,140 according to her complaint. 993 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,740 She alleges that Christian blocked her from leaving, 994 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,813 took off all his clothes, and tried to 995 00:53:37,814 --> 00:53:40,500 force her to perform oral copulation on him. 996 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,893 O'Marque is suing Diddy, blaming him for fostering 997 00:53:44,894 --> 00:53:47,813 an environment of debauchery filled with suspected sex 998 00:53:47,814 --> 00:53:52,173 workers, violence, alcohol allegedly laced with drugs, and 999 00:53:52,174 --> 00:53:53,340 disrespect for crew. 1000 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,893 Aaron Dyer, an attorney for the father-son 1001 00:53:56,894 --> 00:54:00,660 duo, called the lawsuit's claims lewd and meritless. 1002 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,413 This complaint is filled with the same kind 1003 00:54:03,414 --> 00:54:06,013 of manufactured lies and irrelevant facts we've come 1004 00:54:06,014 --> 00:54:08,653 to expect from Blackburn, he said, referring to 1005 00:54:08,654 --> 00:54:10,980 the lawyer also representing Rodney Jones. 1006 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,253 These are just some of the claims filed against Sean Combs. 1007 00:54:15,254 --> 00:54:17,933 More than two dozen people have filed lawsuits 1008 00:54:17,934 --> 00:54:20,453 against the rapper, accusing him of using his 1009 00:54:20,454 --> 00:54:24,500 influence and power to create an empire of drugs, sex, and abuse. 1010 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,653 Following the allegations, six of Diddy's seven kids 1011 00:54:29,654 --> 00:54:33,540 also released a joint statement to Instagram in support of their father. 1012 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,140 In a collaborative Instagram post shared on Tuesday, 1013 00:54:37,240 --> 00:54:41,133 October 22nd, Combs' eldest child, 33-year-old 1014 00:54:41,134 --> 00:54:46,133 Quincy, wrote, The past month has devastated our family. 1015 00:54:46,134 --> 00:54:48,653 Many have judged both him and us based 1016 00:54:48,654 --> 00:54:52,613 on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that 1017 00:54:52,614 --> 00:54:55,220 have spiraled into absurdity on social media. 1018 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,853 We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. 1019 00:54:59,854 --> 00:55:01,853 We hold onto the truth, knowing it will 1020 00:55:01,854 --> 00:55:05,240 prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. 1021 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,980 We miss you and love you, Dad. 1022 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,813 The post, which includes a photo of the 1023 00:55:10,814 --> 00:55:13,700 entire family sitting on an inflatable bounce house, 1024 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:19,060 listed Quincy's five siblings, Justin, 30, Christian, 26, 1025 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:24,580 Chance, 18, and twins, Jesse and Delilah, aged 17, as collaborators. 1026 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,013 Combs' legal team has continued to deny all 1027 00:55:28,014 --> 00:55:30,653 of the accusations made against the rapper, calling 1028 00:55:30,654 --> 00:55:33,140 him an innocent man with nothing to hide. 1029 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,733 We are disappointed with the decision to pursue 1030 00:55:36,734 --> 00:55:39,053 what we believe is an unjust prosecution of 1031 00:55:39,054 --> 00:55:41,453 Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office, 1032 00:55:41,454 --> 00:55:45,780 his attorney told The Independent via email following his September arrest. 1033 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,293 His attorneys have since filed a petition to 1034 00:55:48,294 --> 00:55:50,773 have the alleged victims in his lawsuits identified 1035 00:55:50,774 --> 00:55:53,260 so that they can prepare their defense. 1036 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,253 They also recently filed a motion to gag 1037 00:55:56,254 --> 00:55:59,333 the alleged victims, arguing that their statements could 1038 00:55:59,334 --> 00:56:01,780 prejudice a potential jury against Combs. 1039 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,093 On Monday, September 16th, Combs was arrested by 1040 00:56:06,094 --> 00:56:08,180 federal agents on a sealed indictment. 1041 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,893 Combs' attorney, Mark Agnifilo, said his client is 1042 00:56:11,894 --> 00:56:13,820 innocent and will clear his name. 1043 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,760 He is an imperfect person, but is not a criminal. 1044 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,813 To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing 1045 00:56:20,814 --> 00:56:24,053 but cooperative with this investigation, and he voluntarily 1046 00:56:24,054 --> 00:56:26,613 relocated to New York last week in anticipation 1047 00:56:26,614 --> 00:56:29,600 of these charges, he said in a written statement. 1048 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,600 Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. 1049 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,573 These are the acts of an innocent man 1050 00:56:35,574 --> 00:56:37,893 with nothing to hide, and he looks forward 1051 00:56:37,894 --> 00:56:41,420 to clearing his name in court, Agnifilo said. 1052 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,253 Unlike when previous pop culture figures have been 1053 00:56:45,254 --> 00:56:47,653 accused of heinous crimes, there has been an 1054 00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:50,740 ominous silence from the usually more vocal celebrities. 1055 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,813 It appears that many of them are trying 1056 00:56:52,814 --> 00:56:55,493 their best to distance themselves from Diddy, despite 1057 00:56:55,494 --> 00:56:57,900 having been associated with him in the past. 1058 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,973 Much like the names mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's 1059 00:57:00,974 --> 00:57:03,773 black book and court files, being pictured at 1060 00:57:03,774 --> 00:57:05,973 a Diddy party doesn't mean these celebrities were 1061 00:57:05,974 --> 00:57:07,580 involved in any wrongdoing. 1062 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,293 However, it's certainly not a good look, which 1063 00:57:10,294 --> 00:57:13,053 explains why many have remained silent regarding the 1064 00:57:13,054 --> 00:57:16,293 billionaire's charges, with some accused of deleting their 1065 00:57:16,294 --> 00:57:20,080 social media posts mentioning his name since his arrest. 1066 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,293 Some have argued that Diddy is being used as the fall guy, the one who will 1067 00:57:25,294 --> 00:57:27,573 take all the scrutiny whilst the others involved 1068 00:57:27,574 --> 00:57:30,660 get to continue on with their lives once the dust has settled. 1069 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,940 Who else knew about what was going on? 1070 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,413 Was Diddy really the man calling all the 1071 00:57:36,414 --> 00:57:38,100 shots or were there others involved? 1072 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,933 Mr. Combs has been held at the Metropolitan 1073 00:57:41,934 --> 00:57:46,220 Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York since his 16th of September arrest. 1074 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,813 His lawyers have argued for his release pending 1075 00:57:48,814 --> 00:57:51,900 trial, citing the jail's horrific conditions. 1076 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,693 A New York federal judge denied their request 1077 00:57:54,694 --> 00:57:58,620 for bail, arguing that Mr. Combs was a serious flight risk. 1078 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,253 On Wednesday, the 9th of October, his lawyers 1079 00:58:02,254 --> 00:58:04,173 petitioned the court to throw out the CNN 1080 00:58:04,174 --> 00:58:08,013 video from 2016, which shows Mr. Combs kicking 1081 00:58:08,014 --> 00:58:12,340 his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, as she lay on a hotel hallway floor. 1082 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,373 They argued that the government was responsible for 1083 00:58:15,374 --> 00:58:17,933 leaking the video to CNN and that it 1084 00:58:17,934 --> 00:58:21,820 has led to damaging, highly prejudicial pretrial publicity 1085 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:26,333 that can only taint the jury pool and deprive Mr. Combs of his right to a 1086 00:58:26,334 --> 00:58:27,400 fair trial. 1087 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,413 Lawyers for the government deny leaking the video 1088 00:58:31,414 --> 00:58:33,533 to the media, saying that the government did 1089 00:58:33,534 --> 00:58:36,620 not have possession of it before it was broadcast in May. 1090 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,093 Mr. Combs faces up to life in prison 1091 00:58:41,094 --> 00:58:43,660 if convicted on the racketeering charge. 1092 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,173 He faces another statutory minimum of 15 years 1093 00:58:47,174 --> 00:58:48,940 for the sex trafficking charge. 1094 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,293 Diddy's fall from grace has been swift, with 1095 00:58:53,294 --> 00:58:55,813 an extensive federal criminal case charging him in 1096 00:58:55,814 --> 00:58:58,340 a sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. 1097 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,333 More than a dozen civil lawsuits have also 1098 00:59:01,334 --> 00:59:04,620 been filed, accusing the music mogul of assaults, 1099 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,540 rape, and sexual extortion. 1100 00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,773 One lawyer said he represents more than 100 1101 00:59:09,774 --> 00:59:12,860 alleged victims who claim they were sexually abused. 1102 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,733 Only time will tell how this will all pan out for the hip-hop legend, but 1103 00:59:17,734 --> 00:59:19,020 one thing's for certain. 1104 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,053 All lies will be exposed, and what's done 1105 00:59:22,054 --> 00:59:24,420 in the dark always comes to light. 90928
