??
2
00:00:11,234 --> 00:00:14,666
[Tim Patterson] I didn't even
call Sean to tell him I was doing this.
3
00:00:14,667 --> 00:00:18,533
I don't want
the public's perception to be swayed
4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,600
as if this is a payoff
or if this is a favor.
5
00:00:23,567 --> 00:00:25,634
This is just brotherly love.
6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,766
So, there was one day
me and Sean went up to my mom's house.
7
00:00:31,767 --> 00:00:34,834
My parents used to love
to play blackjack.
8
00:00:34,835 --> 00:00:36,899
And everybody's
sitting at the table playing cards
9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:37,799
and they see us come in.
10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,666
And at that time
we had the germ of fame.
11
00:00:40,667 --> 00:00:42,700
I had a record or two
on the radio.
12
00:00:42,701 --> 00:00:45,366
They say "Y'all play
a hand of cards with us.
13
00:00:45,367 --> 00:00:47,165
"Y'all got all the money."
14
00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:48,799
Sean didn't know
how to play blackjack.
15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,966
We played one hand
of cards with him.
16
00:00:50,967 --> 00:00:53,466
Cards is being dealt.
17
00:00:53,467 --> 00:00:57,466
Sean doesn't know
to turn his card over and only reveal one.
18
00:00:57,467 --> 00:00:59,734
So he had both of his cards
turned up,
19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,466
and he wasn't hiding them.
20
00:01:01,467 --> 00:01:02,466
And people laughed.
21
00:01:02,467 --> 00:01:03,566
"Boy, you better
hide your cards.
22
00:01:03,567 --> 00:01:04,499
Don't be showing your cards."
23
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:07,099
And he looked at me
like "Yo, what I got?"
24
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:08,065
And I said, "You're good.
25
00:01:08,066 --> 00:01:10,366
Don't even worry about it.
You're gonna win."
26
00:01:10,367 --> 00:01:11,666
And he said,
"What do you mean?"
27
00:01:11,667 --> 00:01:12,999
I said, "You're gonna win.
Don't worry.
28
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,934
You got 20.
It takes 21 to win."
29
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,566
He says, "For real?"
30
00:01:18,567 --> 00:01:21,634
He says, "It's guaranteed
that I win?"
31
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,700
I said, "It ain't guaranteed,
but shit, it's damn near guaranteed."
32
00:01:26,767 --> 00:01:28,834
He said, "I want it
to be guaranteed I win.
33
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,532
Give me another card."
34
00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:34,133
Everybody at the table
looked at him like, "Boy, are you crazy?"
35
00:01:35,367 --> 00:01:38,700
Dealer deals the card,
and it's an ace.
36
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,433
Twenty one.
37
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:44,366
The whole table went ham.
38
00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:46,500
Oh, my God. Who is this boy?
39
00:01:46,858 --> 00:01:50,466
He took all the money
off the table,
40
00:01:50,467 --> 00:01:53,099
put it in his pocket,
and we left.
41
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,265
Everybody's yelling
for him to come back.
42
00:01:55,266 --> 00:01:56,900
He said, "No, I won."
43
00:01:59,667 --> 00:02:01,165
Who does that?
44
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:02,466
That's Sean.
45
00:02:02,467 --> 00:02:03,900
All or nothing.
46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,233
That's it.
47
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:07,734
That's who he is.
48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,666
[crowd clamoring]
49
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:35,400
[Patterson] Sean Combs.
You can never count him out.
50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,734
It's like the life of a cat.
51
00:02:40,867 --> 00:02:42,265
[interviewer speaking]
52
00:02:42,266 --> 00:02:43,265
Nine?
53
00:02:43,266 --> 00:02:44,500
Shit.
54
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,133
I think that what has happened
in Puffy's life
55
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,433
is the byproduct
of extreme good fortune,
56
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:02,600
and that extreme good fortune
can also be a paradox of power.
57
00:03:03,367 --> 00:03:04,700
It's a yin and a yang.
58
00:03:05,567 --> 00:03:07,366
In order
to get all the goodies,
59
00:03:07,367 --> 00:03:10,165
you've got
to have this confidence
60
00:03:10,166 --> 00:03:11,900
that you can
get all the goodies.
61
00:03:12,667 --> 00:03:15,734
And so Puffy created
a cult of personality.
62
00:03:19,011 --> 00:03:22,866
[Tisa Tells]
After the nightclub shooting,
63
00:03:22,867 --> 00:03:26,366
when he was acquitted,
he went into PR overdrive,
64
00:03:26,367 --> 00:03:28,466
Who said we had
to have one name?
65
00:03:28,467 --> 00:03:32,099
[Tells] He rebranded himself
as P. Diddy.
66
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:34,065
He wanted to put
a clear divider
67
00:03:34,066 --> 00:03:37,233
between who he was
and where he's going.
68
00:03:37,234 --> 00:03:38,899
[Diddy] You know,
I don't really just play by the rules.
69
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:40,533
I create my own rules.
70
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,265
Puff wanted to get rid
of this image of him as a thug.
71
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:45,800
He's changing his name.
72
00:03:47,367 --> 00:03:48,997
[woman]
But is he a changed man?
73
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,000
[crowd applauding]
74
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,033
Puffy knew
how the media worked,
75
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,466
and he knew
how important it was to maintain an image.
76
00:04:02,467 --> 00:04:04,466
I have a big announcement
to make today.
77
00:04:04,467 --> 00:04:07,099
I will run
the New York City Marathon
78
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:11,033
to raise money and awareness
for three charities.
79
00:04:11,034 --> 00:04:12,265
[Nori] We start
to see Sean Combs
80
00:04:12,266 --> 00:04:14,533
engage in these
kind of stunts.
81
00:04:16,867 --> 00:04:21,065
In the 2004 election, he starts
to talk about this Vote or Die campaign.
82
00:04:21,066 --> 00:04:22,566
This election
is life or death.
83
00:04:22,567 --> 00:04:24,065
Now we're going
to make voting cool.
84
00:04:24,066 --> 00:04:27,566
He's now mingling
with future President Obama
85
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:30,099
at the time
when Obama's career was on the rise.
86
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:33,366
I just want to say
how much I appreciate Puff Daddy
87
00:04:33,367 --> 00:04:36,265
for doing the kinds of work
that he's doing
88
00:04:36,266 --> 00:04:38,400
because he doesn't have
to do this.
89
00:04:38,401 --> 00:04:42,265
[Mark Anthony Neal]
Sean Combs shows up in a Broadway production
90
00:04:42,266 --> 00:04:44,566
that's revisiting
A Raisin in the Sun,
91
00:04:44,567 --> 00:04:48,165
one of the first plays
by a Black woman produced on Broadway.
92
00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:51,999
[female newscaster] Sean P. Diddy Combs
is winning over audiences on Broadway.
93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,033
[Neal] Combs found a way
to rise again.
94
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:57,100
Is there anything
this man can't do?
95
00:04:58,266 --> 00:05:04,999
He was seen, to many people in
the media, as a safe person of color.
96
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,265
At the time,
reality TV was exploding.
97
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,199
[Mark Jacobs]
There were all these competition reality shows
98
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,099
with mega moguls
and different aspects of culture.
99
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,634
And there were contestants
vying to be able to have it on their resume.
100
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:19,566
They worked for Trump,
101
00:05:19,567 --> 00:05:23,466
they worked for Paris Hilton,
they worked for Diddy.
102
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:26,766
I was the director,
director of photography and co-executive producer
103
00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:28,566
of I Want to Work for Diddy
on VH1.
104
00:05:28,567 --> 00:05:32,033
[announcer] To live
the dream, you have to work for it.
105
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:33,533
I Want to Work for Diddy.
106
00:05:33,534 --> 00:05:36,599
[Jacobs] I was
quite blown away
107
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,265
that I was actually
directing this guy
108
00:05:38,266 --> 00:05:40,366
and telling this guy
what to do.
109
00:05:40,367 --> 00:05:43,197
I think to work
for a narcissist, you have to become one,
110
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,566
and I think that's what
the show's success was.
111
00:05:46,567 --> 00:05:49,133
Exposing the narcissist
in Diddy.
112
00:05:51,166 --> 00:05:56,734
The last episode of I Want to Work
for Diddy starts at The London hotel.
113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,165
The brand spanking new
never slept in presidential suite.
114
00:06:02,166 --> 00:06:05,366
I was planning to go up and talk
to Sean and block it out with him
115
00:06:05,367 --> 00:06:07,566
before we started.
My AD is with me,
116
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:10,265
and I knock on the door,
I come in,
117
00:06:10,266 --> 00:06:14,065
and to the right
is this pretty grandiose staircase.
118
00:06:14,066 --> 00:06:16,333
So I'm standing there
a good five minutes.
119
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,766
He comes down,
he's got a robe on, it's open.
120
00:06:19,767 --> 00:06:22,600
He's got nothing on.
He's just naked.
121
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,165
Like it was nothing.
122
00:06:26,166 --> 00:06:29,165
He knew I was there.
He knew we were waiting.
123
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:31,433
There was a moment
where it's like, "Wow."
124
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:34,866
I guess somebody at that level
can really, truly do,
125
00:06:34,867 --> 00:06:37,900
and say whatever
they want to do and say, period.
126
00:06:37,901 --> 00:06:41,966
[D. Woods] From the outside,
he was this mogul.
127
00:06:41,967 --> 00:06:47,033
He was this guy who, you know,
could make your dreams come true.
128
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,233
But then,
there was the other side.
129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,433
It might not be so safe.
130
00:06:55,367 --> 00:06:59,566
I have not shared my story
in a public way.
131
00:06:59,567 --> 00:07:03,734
In a very truthful,
uncensored way.
132
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:11,133
I was one of five girls
in Danity Kane
133
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,533
on Making the Band 3.
134
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,300
The premise of the show was Diddy
was gonna find the next superstar group.
135
00:07:18,301 --> 00:07:22,099
[Woods] Our first album
was number one on the Billboard charts.
136
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:27,165
First week out,
we beat Christina Aguilera and OutKast.
137
00:07:27,166 --> 00:07:29,666
It was our first
single showstopper.
138
00:07:29,667 --> 00:07:33,466
?? We show stoppin'
We show show stoppin' We show stoppin...?
139
00:07:33,467 --> 00:07:37,900
[Woods] Like I love the fact
that fans still listen to Danity Kane.
140
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,165
It takes a lot for me
to allow you to have your experience
141
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:45,600
and not taint it.
142
00:07:46,467 --> 00:07:47,900
And still
143
00:07:51,266 --> 00:07:54,133
understand what
my experience was.
144
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,233
And, um, it was not
a good experience.
145
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:00,300
You know,
hearing some of those songs,
146
00:08:00,767 --> 00:08:02,200
bring up...
147
00:08:04,367 --> 00:08:06,666
awful memories.
148
00:08:06,667 --> 00:08:12,133
I see myself standing
in those dark, scary predatory spaces,
149
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:19,065
and hearing somebody
say some of the most degrading things to me,
150
00:08:19,066 --> 00:08:21,165
and at the age of 20 and 21,
151
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:23,600
having to figure out
how to navigate
152
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:27,700
and not let that person
break me down.
153
00:08:30,467 --> 00:08:33,433
I remember one time
where he had the cameras there
154
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,566
while we were, like,
trying on clothes, so he could watch us.
155
00:08:36,567 --> 00:08:40,366
He's going to point
this little camera at us for Diddy,
156
00:08:40,367 --> 00:08:42,566
so he can judge
our appearance.
157
00:08:42,567 --> 00:08:44,900
I called it
like Jedi mind tricks.
158
00:08:45,867 --> 00:08:48,466
This happened so early on.
159
00:08:48,467 --> 00:08:50,834
He was going
one by one by one,
160
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:53,834
just like
critiquing our style.
161
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:57,466
And when he got to me,
It wasn't about the clothes.
162
00:08:57,467 --> 00:08:58,866
[Diddy] What's your stomach
looking like?
163
00:08:58,867 --> 00:09:01,533
Are you still
a little thick?
164
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,766
And I was like,
"Well, you know,
165
00:09:03,767 --> 00:09:06,566
next to these skinny girls,
I'm always gonna look thick."
166
00:09:06,567 --> 00:09:08,834
I'm working out. I'm running.
167
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:11,834
I always feel thick
next to these skinny chicks.
168
00:09:11,835 --> 00:09:14,366
Puff was just saying, "You look like,
you know, you one cheeseburger away.
169
00:09:14,367 --> 00:09:16,065
You know that.
You know that, right?
170
00:09:16,066 --> 00:09:17,799
You know that
you one cheeseburger away,"
171
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,566
like he wanted me
to agree with him.
172
00:09:19,567 --> 00:09:21,400
You're like a burger away.
173
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,065
And it was like,
like I just, I had to just take it.
174
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:30,500
Grit my teeth
and let him say what he wanted to say.
175
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,866
[Mara S. Campo] I remember feeling
like Diddy was this tough love boss.
176
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:39,834
But looking at Making the Band
through today's lens
177
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,233
makes it clear
that the body shaming,
178
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,500
verbal abuse, intimidation
was rampant.
179
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:54,300
He was singling out
different ones of us, especially Aubrey.
180
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,099
Aubrey always stuck out
as one of the stars.
181
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,533
One of the fan favorites.
182
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,033
He had an aggressive,
intimidating way with her.
183
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,566
I remember one scene
where he was like, "What do you have to say?"
184
00:10:07,567 --> 00:10:09,497
Aubrey, you ain't got
nothing to say?
185
00:10:09,498 --> 00:10:12,366
You've got such a big mouth
when I'm going.
186
00:10:12,367 --> 00:10:13,699
What you got to say?
Say it now.
187
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:20,866
The way Puff and Aubrey
went back and forth was very uncomfortable
188
00:10:20,867 --> 00:10:23,165
to witness, to watch.
189
00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:25,499
[Aubrey] He was
the hardest person that you can work for,
190
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,834
and it was torture.
191
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:30,766
And not the work part of it,
but the other stuff.
192
00:10:30,767 --> 00:10:32,634
I remember her
sharing with me...
193
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:42,700
that he has sent her
a lot of very inappropriate pictures.
194
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:48,100
I saw a lot of things
that he would email her.
195
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:51,800
Very sexual in nature.
196
00:10:52,266 --> 00:10:54,734
Very... just like,
197
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,265
overtly like pornographic,
198
00:10:59,266 --> 00:11:02,033
like, things
that he wanted to do to her.
199
00:11:04,367 --> 00:11:06,800
She was just kind of like,
"What do I do?"
200
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:13,466
I remember telling her,
"Girl, put that in a folder.
201
00:11:13,467 --> 00:11:15,400
Send it to your mama.
202
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:17,400
Save that."
203
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:27,700
[Woods] Aubrey and I
decided to go to New York for Fashion Week.
204
00:11:30,367 --> 00:11:35,766
Aubrey came into my hotel room
and told me
205
00:11:35,767 --> 00:11:39,500
that she ran into Puff
in person,
206
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:43,366
and he had
pulled her in close,
207
00:11:43,367 --> 00:11:47,265
and he said,
"Now you're hot enough that I can [bleep] you.
208
00:11:47,266 --> 00:11:49,533
I can [bleep] you now."
209
00:11:50,467 --> 00:11:52,766
It was like a moment of shock.
210
00:11:52,767 --> 00:11:58,233
A moment of...
your stomach turning.
211
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,433
A moment of just like...
212
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:05,866
We're definitely
in over our heads.
213
00:12:05,867 --> 00:12:10,165
And then all of a sudden it was this
mandatory meeting that needed to happen.
214
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:11,265
We thought we were "off".
215
00:12:11,266 --> 00:12:13,233
We thought
we had finished filming.
216
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:14,433
It was just like...
217
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:20,533
What in the entire [bleep]?
218
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:26,050
So what do you think
is gonna happen tomorrow?
219
00:12:29,967 --> 00:12:32,033
Yeah, we just walked
into the lion's den.
220
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:36,400
We get to the Bad Boy Offices.
221
00:12:36,967 --> 00:12:39,033
We're in the conference room.
222
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:42,233
It was very Donald Trump
Apprentice style.
223
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,999
The vision
that I had for the group,
224
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,834
this ain't the vision
that I'm on.
225
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,834
You know what I'm saying?
226
00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:52,265
[Woods] The whole group
of Danity Kane sitting at the table
227
00:12:52,266 --> 00:12:55,666
when Puff was saying to Aubrey
she was promiscuous,
228
00:12:55,667 --> 00:12:58,666
saying that he didn't like
her image and her body.
229
00:12:58,667 --> 00:13:00,499
[Diddy] I don't like what
she does to the brand
230
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:04,333
when she's wilding out there
being overly raunchy, promiscuous.
231
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,099
[Woods] Puff fired Aubrey.
232
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:07,910
I don't want you
in the group no more.
233
00:13:07,911 --> 00:13:11,566
And then he turned to me
and said, "Get out."
234
00:13:11,567 --> 00:13:13,834
You can go too.
235
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:17,165
I believe that
he fired Aubrey...
236
00:13:17,166 --> 00:13:22,734
One, because
she did not succumb to his advances.
237
00:13:24,066 --> 00:13:30,300
Two, because he wanted her
to feel powerless
238
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,766
and question her worth.
239
00:13:33,767 --> 00:13:36,734
I feel like that's probably
the same reason
240
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,490
why he probably
got rid of me, too.
241
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:43,933
[Campo] At the time,
242
00:13:43,934 --> 00:13:48,500
the press was really
very much against the girls of Danity Kane,
243
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,910
making it seem
like they were the problem.
244
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:59,734
[Roundtree] There is
a real sense of fear surrounding Diddy.
245
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,466
If you go through
a timeline of his history,
246
00:14:02,467 --> 00:14:06,265
there is that kind of sprinkle
or a trail of violence,
247
00:14:06,266 --> 00:14:08,265
of aggression,
of intimidation,
248
00:14:08,266 --> 00:14:10,265
that has popped up
throughout the years.
249
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:12,966
But it always kind of
was explained away
250
00:14:12,967 --> 00:14:17,500
because Diddy is so big
and has so much power.
251
00:14:22,266 --> 00:14:26,999
By 2007,
Diddy's wealth just starts rapidly multiplying.
252
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,934
[woman]
Sean Combs is one of the most influential beacons
253
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,366
in luxury culture today.
254
00:14:32,367 --> 00:14:36,533
He then lands
a huge partnership with Diageo.
255
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,999
I am proud to announce
a groundbreaking strategic alliance
256
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,634
between myself
and CIROC Vodka.
257
00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:46,265
[Neal] He becomes synonymous
with this brand,
258
00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:50,165
and he transcends everything
that he had been before.
259
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:54,033
[Roundtree] This would prove
to be so lucrative for Diddy.
260
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:57,433
He later expands
to tequila with DeLeon.
261
00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:59,666
Over the course
of their relationship,
262
00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:02,233
Diageo paid Combs
a billion dollars.
263
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,700
I am the American dream.
This is Black history.
264
00:15:06,458 --> 00:15:10,466
[Campo] He continued
to expand his brand.
265
00:15:10,467 --> 00:15:13,666
He got into media
with REVOLT TV.
266
00:15:13,667 --> 00:15:15,766
I am the former
managing editor
267
00:15:15,767 --> 00:15:18,165
and global news anchor
for REVOLT TV.
268
00:15:18,166 --> 00:15:20,165
Hey everyone,
and welcome to the show.
269
00:15:20,166 --> 00:15:21,634
I'm Mara S. Campo.
270
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:23,666
It was the only place
I've ever worked
271
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:27,934
where I felt like
I could show up 100% as my authentic self.
272
00:15:27,935 --> 00:15:31,966
There was one experience
that I actually found to be quite funny,
273
00:15:31,967 --> 00:15:33,734
where I had a bottle
of Casamigos
274
00:15:33,735 --> 00:15:34,999
that I had to leave
in my office.
275
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,800
When I got back to my office,
the bottle was in the trash.
276
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:43,233
They said if Puffy had
come in and seen a bottle of Casamigos,
277
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:46,790
meaning something that was not
DeLeon, he would have gone ballistic.
278
00:15:48,667 --> 00:15:52,934
To be successful in business, you have
to take your brands very, very seriously.
279
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,433
And clearly he did that.
280
00:15:54,434 --> 00:15:56,399
What's going on?
Just sending you some love.
281
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,966
We're on set.
We're working hard.
282
00:15:57,967 --> 00:15:59,366
We know y'all working hard.
283
00:15:59,367 --> 00:16:00,933
Love.
284
00:16:00,934 --> 00:16:04,544
[Campo] My experience
in the Diddyverse was actually quite positive,
285
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,065
although I did not
directly work for him.
286
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:10,099
But what we've heard
from those who have worked with him
287
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:16,366
is that he used the same
fear and intimidation and coercion tactics
288
00:16:16,367 --> 00:16:19,400
in the workplace
as he did with his enemies.
289
00:16:24,367 --> 00:16:26,866
[Jourdan Cha'Tuan]
I was Puff's personal chef.
290
00:16:26,867 --> 00:16:31,233
Since the news broke
about Puff, it brought everything back.
291
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:34,634
I've been quiet
for 17, 18 years,
292
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:37,165
and because of it
being brought back,
293
00:16:37,166 --> 00:16:39,999
I went into a trunk
that I have in my house
294
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,233
that actually had
my journal entries from around that time,
295
00:16:43,667 --> 00:16:45,200
and I read over them.
296
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,200
And there's a lot of things
that I forgot or buried.
297
00:16:52,867 --> 00:16:56,099
I started working for Puff
in the summer of 2007.
298
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:58,966
I am Sean Combs'
personal chef.
299
00:16:58,967 --> 00:17:02,133
I was in my early 20s,
and I'm just like, you know, I'm excited.
300
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,366
His level of success,
his level of power, and his reach.
301
00:17:06,367 --> 00:17:09,866
Who wouldn't want
to be associated with him?
302
00:17:09,867 --> 00:17:11,934
Puff was the top.
303
00:17:11,935 --> 00:17:12,833
-[Diddy] Hey, Chef.
-[Cha'Tuan] Yeah.
304
00:17:12,834 --> 00:17:14,265
[Diddy] Mr. Combs
would like to see.
305
00:17:14,266 --> 00:17:15,799
[Diddy] What do we got
for dessert?
306
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,733
[Cha'Tuan] Fruit.
307
00:17:16,734 --> 00:17:19,834
[Cha'Tuan] I was
definitely intimidated.
308
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:22,700
I have some
of my journal entries here.
309
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:31,065
Puff would notoriously
berate you, embarrass you, belittle you.
310
00:17:31,066 --> 00:17:36,934
I was having
constant anxiety attacks and heart palpitations.
311
00:17:37,767 --> 00:17:41,265
I was diagnosed
with stress induced alopecia.
312
00:17:41,266 --> 00:17:43,100
My hair started to fall out.
313
00:17:44,467 --> 00:17:46,366
And then I saw a cardiologist
314
00:17:46,367 --> 00:17:49,566
who said that
my body couldn't handle the stress levels.
315
00:17:49,567 --> 00:17:55,165
He said to me,
"If you keep this job any longer than a year,
316
00:17:55,166 --> 00:17:56,500
you'll be dead."
317
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,433
When I discussed
what was going on
318
00:17:59,434 --> 00:18:02,466
with a few other people
that worked, it was kind of like a joke.
319
00:18:02,467 --> 00:18:06,165
It was like, "Oh yeah,
well, you're official now. Welcome."
320
00:18:06,166 --> 00:18:07,232
You know,
you're not really official
321
00:18:07,233 --> 00:18:09,800
until you have some sort of
breakdown around here.
322
00:18:11,367 --> 00:18:13,566
I think his expectation
of others
323
00:18:13,567 --> 00:18:16,233
was how he operated
within his own life.
324
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,966
He really is
a "can't stop, won't stop. No sleep."
325
00:18:19,967 --> 00:18:23,566
That is really
how he operates.
326
00:18:23,567 --> 00:18:25,866
But there's also
a lot of drugs being used.
327
00:18:25,867 --> 00:18:27,999
I saw lots of different pills.
328
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,466
I know that there
was like ecstasy, definitely alcohol.
329
00:18:32,467 --> 00:18:35,366
So I kind of was like,
"He's just tripping because he's coming down."
330
00:18:35,367 --> 00:18:38,666
Like I'm not paying him
any attention.
331
00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:43,433
But there was a specific time
Puff comes downstairs and he's yelling,
332
00:18:43,434 --> 00:18:46,666
"I'm so [bleep] tired
of hearing about you and your [bleep] attitude,
333
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:49,197
"and all you've got to do
is cook the [bleep] food."
334
00:18:52,867 --> 00:18:55,333
Me and him are like
face to face like this,
335
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,333
and he's just like,
he does like this to my forehead,
336
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,233
and he's just like,
you know, like,
337
00:19:01,234 --> 00:19:03,099
and I'm telling him like,
"Don't [bleep] touch me,"
338
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:06,566
and now tears
are coming down my eyes.
339
00:19:06,567 --> 00:19:09,766
And he's like,
"You're [bleep] crying, you're [bleep] crying
340
00:19:09,767 --> 00:19:11,499
and there's kids starving
in Africa,
341
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:13,099
and you over here
[bleep] crying?
342
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:15,270
And all you got to do
is cook [bleep] food?"
343
00:19:15,271 --> 00:19:18,265
He was just
getting madder and madder.
344
00:19:18,266 --> 00:19:21,900
And so I walk away
and I'm opening up the refrigerator.
345
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,033
And I remember him
saying, "Yeah, you're [bleep] crazy."
346
00:19:26,034 --> 00:19:28,165
And then I just remembered
slamming the door
347
00:19:28,166 --> 00:19:30,466
and being like,
"Yeah, that's right. I'm [bleep] crazy.
348
00:19:30,467 --> 00:19:32,333
And you know what else?
I quit."
349
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:38,265
Me saying that I quit
like, enraged him more,
350
00:19:38,266 --> 00:19:40,366
because he's like,
"You can't [bleep] quit on me.
351
00:19:40,367 --> 00:19:42,133
You can't [bleep] quit
on me."
352
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,734
And I just remember
turning around and saying, "[bleep] you."
353
00:19:45,735 --> 00:19:47,766
And when I turned around
and I said that to him,
354
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:49,333
he used all of his force,
355
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,233
and he just shoved me,
like he pushed me.
356
00:19:55,867 --> 00:19:58,433
And I went flying outside
of the doorway
357
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:01,333
and I ended up
on my elbows and my butt.
358
00:20:04,867 --> 00:20:07,877
I'm telling the office,
I'm gonna sue this mother [bleep]."
359
00:20:07,878 --> 00:20:09,065
They understood
that I was upset,
360
00:20:09,066 --> 00:20:13,133
but they're like,
"If you sue him, your career is over.
361
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,000
You will be blackballed.
362
00:20:17,166 --> 00:20:20,000
He does have the power
to do that, and he will do that."
363
00:20:22,467 --> 00:20:24,466
Puff scared me.
364
00:20:24,467 --> 00:20:27,533
So I kept quiet
about things that I knew
365
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,233
because I was afraid
that something might happen to me.
366
00:20:35,837 --> 00:20:39,899
[Roger Bonds]
I've seen Diddy in incidents
367
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,333
with multiple women
with violence.
368
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,366
One time,
I remember telling him,
369
00:20:44,367 --> 00:20:46,666
"Yo, I think
you got a problem."
370
00:20:46,667 --> 00:20:47,866
He looked at me
and he was like,
371
00:20:47,867 --> 00:20:50,233
"I ain't got
no mother [bleep] problem."
372
00:20:50,234 --> 00:20:52,099
So he said,
"Sometimes you just gotta
373
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:54,233
let these hoes know
who the boss is."
374
00:20:55,567 --> 00:20:58,566
From 2006 to 2012,
375
00:20:58,567 --> 00:21:01,900
nobody else spent more time
with Puff than I did.
376
00:21:02,667 --> 00:21:04,766
I was his everyday bodyguard.
377
00:21:04,767 --> 00:21:07,966
It meant so much to me
to get with Diddy
378
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:11,265
because of who I was
and what I've been through.
379
00:21:11,266 --> 00:21:13,666
I was incarcerated
for a little while,
380
00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:16,233
so to me,
that was a stepping up.
381
00:21:17,367 --> 00:21:19,366
One of the reasons
that I got with Puff
382
00:21:19,367 --> 00:21:22,165
was because
he was a older guy,
383
00:21:22,166 --> 00:21:28,033
so I felt like it's just a matter
of time before he simmers down.
384
00:21:28,034 --> 00:21:30,866
But he was still waking me up
at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning
385
00:21:30,867 --> 00:21:33,697
talking about, "Yo, we getting
ready to go to the club?"
386
00:21:34,367 --> 00:21:36,233
And I remember lots of drugs.
387
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:37,532
When he was on drugs,
388
00:21:37,533 --> 00:21:41,666
it enabled him to stay up
for two or three days at a time.
389
00:21:41,667 --> 00:21:46,033
At that time,
you had different people that Diddy did respect,
390
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:48,265
telling him, You need help."
391
00:21:48,266 --> 00:21:54,600
And when that didn't happen,
I seen a spiral and the spiral was going down.
392
00:21:56,667 --> 00:21:59,934
There was a time
he had a fight in Miami,
393
00:22:00,066 --> 00:22:02,133
and when we was
running out the door,
394
00:22:02,134 --> 00:22:03,666
he seemed to think
it was funny.
395
00:22:03,667 --> 00:22:06,666
He looked at me
and he told me, he said, "I got time, Bonds."
396
00:22:06,667 --> 00:22:07,766
I said, "What you got
time for?"
397
00:22:07,767 --> 00:22:11,165
He said, "I got enough money
for one more big fight
398
00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:13,065
that I could pay
the people off."
399
00:22:13,066 --> 00:22:15,566
In my mind, I was like,
"Yo, this dude is crazy."
400
00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:19,165
Who wants to get into a fight
to have to pay somebody?
401
00:22:19,166 --> 00:22:24,033
Diddy, he always wanted you
to agree with what he said,
402
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,466
and if you don't agree
with what he said,
403
00:22:26,467 --> 00:22:28,533
he had his way
of getting rid of you.
404
00:22:29,467 --> 00:22:31,265
Coming home from jail,
405
00:22:31,266 --> 00:22:34,466
I couldn't move on
to nothing better.
406
00:22:34,467 --> 00:22:39,433
And so I was even willing
to turn a blind eye to some of the bad things
407
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:41,734
because Diddy
would always say,
408
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,850
"You should be thankful
for being here."
409
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,966
He was just
a master manipulator.
410
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:52,834
So when I look at him now,
I say, the respect that I had for him,
411
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:56,165
the way that
I looked up to him when I first started,
412
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:59,300
it's all gone
because I know it's a facade.
413
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,666
I like to value my success
on not the monetary aspect.
414
00:23:06,667 --> 00:23:11,600
It's how many lives I could touch
and change and help to give a chance to.
415
00:23:12,867 --> 00:23:17,165
[Campo] Diddy did such
a good job of presenting himself.
416
00:23:17,166 --> 00:23:19,366
And so I,
like most of the world,
417
00:23:19,367 --> 00:23:23,634
did not fully realize
the extent of the darkness.
418
00:23:25,066 --> 00:23:28,934
Lil Rod is the first man
that has come forward
419
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,466
with some of these allegations
of sexual assault.
420
00:23:33,467 --> 00:23:37,999
There are a lot of things
that stood out in Lil Rod's lawsuit.
421
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,233
"Mr. Jones witnessed,
experienced, and endured many things
422
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:45,600
that went far beyond his role
as a producer on The Love Album."
423
00:23:46,578 --> 00:23:50,999
[Lil Rod] When I started
working with Puffy,
424
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,265
I was very, very excited.
For me,
425
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:58,533
I had already won
just to be sitting in a room with him.
426
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,265
It didn't get any better
than that.
427
00:24:01,266 --> 00:24:08,100
But knowing everything
that I know now, I would never work for Puffy.
428
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,099
My name
is Rodney Jones Junior, also known as Lil Rod.
429
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:19,734
I produced
The Love Album: Off The Grid for Sean Combs.
430
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,033
Working with Puff,
you never know who you're dealing with.
431
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:25,433
So some days he would walk in
432
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:28,966
and be one
of the coolest guys.
433
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:31,934
And then some days
he walked in and he's just being a thug.
434
00:24:34,166 --> 00:24:36,666
I remember one time
he was asking me
435
00:24:36,667 --> 00:24:38,900
how much was I
going to charge him
436
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,566
for working on his album.
437
00:24:41,567 --> 00:24:44,366
Before I knew it,
he was up in my face.
438
00:24:44,367 --> 00:24:47,533
He's like, "Yo,
you don't charge me no money.
439
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:50,734
I'm Puff Daddy.
440
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:53,300
I'll eat your face off."
441
00:24:55,667 --> 00:25:01,634
I never got paid as a producer
for The Love Album still to this day.
442
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:08,734
Puff making threats,
that's who he is.
443
00:25:10,066 --> 00:25:11,500
A bully in a suit.
444
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,433
Puffy crossed the line
so many times.
445
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,666
We were at
Puffy's Los Angeles house, working in the studio.
446
00:25:28,667 --> 00:25:30,866
He says,
"I want to work in my bathroom.
447
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:32,366
Everybody bring everything."
448
00:25:32,367 --> 00:25:34,666
So we break down the studio,
449
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:37,165
get the instruments
and go to his bathroom as usual.
450
00:25:37,166 --> 00:25:39,999
And he strips himself
in front of us
451
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,200
and jumps right
into the shower.
452
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:49,300
But he's looking directly
at me.
453
00:25:50,166 --> 00:25:51,400
You know what I mean?
454
00:25:54,367 --> 00:25:59,533
I found myself
getting a pat on my butt.
455
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,033
It felt uncomfortable,
and still feels uncomfortable.
456
00:26:11,367 --> 00:26:15,400
I was very unsure
what to think and how to feel.
457
00:26:19,467 --> 00:26:22,400
It's not something
that I ever want to happen again.
458
00:26:23,567 --> 00:26:28,065
I did at some point
raise this issue to one of the chief of staff
459
00:26:28,066 --> 00:26:29,332
and she would tell me,
460
00:26:29,333 --> 00:26:32,666
"Oh, that's just his way
of showing he likes you or loves you.
461
00:26:32,667 --> 00:26:35,333
You should just downplay it
like it's nothing."
462
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,700
And it just happened
over and over.
463
00:26:42,266 --> 00:26:45,533
Working with him,
there was a lot of abuse that came with it.
464
00:26:55,467 --> 00:26:57,666
[interviewer speaking]
465
00:26:57,667 --> 00:26:58,934
No.
466
00:27:03,967 --> 00:27:06,566
There's so much more
that he did.
467
00:27:06,567 --> 00:27:11,433
Puffy would require us
to go to the club
468
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:16,233
and bring back
multiple choices of women
469
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:23,466
for himself and whoever
he deemed necessary to have fun with.
470
00:27:23,467 --> 00:27:28,800
So more than often, we did spend a
lot of our time going to the strip clubs
471
00:27:30,367 --> 00:27:33,433
to get sex workers
to bring back to the house.
472
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:36,165
You'll see girls come
at the Miami house.
473
00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:38,165
That happened quite often.
474
00:27:38,166 --> 00:27:41,366
Lots of women,
lots of partying,
475
00:27:41,367 --> 00:27:45,033
lots of drugs,
lots of alcohol.
476
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:50,265
I even found myself
a couple of times
477
00:27:50,266 --> 00:27:53,000
waking up next
to some of the sex workers.
478
00:27:56,266 --> 00:28:02,099
And you know, it felt like it just
went from zero to 10, like quickly.
479
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:04,200
[interviewer talking]
480
00:28:06,467 --> 00:28:09,866
I feel like
I was for sure drugged.
481
00:28:09,867 --> 00:28:12,200
I feel like the drinks
were spiked.
482
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:18,766
It's not like I don't know
how to handle my liquor,
483
00:28:18,767 --> 00:28:21,366
so for me to be having a drink
484
00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:23,866
and then I wake up
trying to remember
485
00:28:23,867 --> 00:28:26,165
exactly how I got here,
what's going on.
486
00:28:26,166 --> 00:28:29,233
I can only imagine
that somebody tapped me.
487
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:37,000
Everybody was sipping
on the Puffy juice.
488
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:42,566
That makes me feel
very used, abused.
489
00:28:42,567 --> 00:28:49,634
It makes me feel like
only a monster can do this.
490
00:29:00,367 --> 00:29:03,500
As disturbing
as Lil Rod's lawsuit was,
491
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,333
there have been
more shocking things that have come out.
492
00:29:08,967 --> 00:29:10,567
[sighs]
493
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:28,700
[Thalia Graves]
I've tried to put it away for all these years,
494
00:29:29,266 --> 00:29:31,800
but even now
it's a lot. [sighs]
495
00:29:33,166 --> 00:29:35,000
The color red for me
is a trigger.
496
00:29:35,967 --> 00:29:38,265
It took a lot
to wear this red shirt today.
497
00:29:38,266 --> 00:29:40,466
Um, you know,
'cause it's a process.
498
00:29:40,467 --> 00:29:42,433
I'm trying-
I'm trying to get there.
499
00:29:44,767 --> 00:29:50,165
I can't listen
to any Bad Boy music without it triggering me.
500
00:29:50,166 --> 00:29:52,100
I cannot hear his voice
501
00:29:52,767 --> 00:29:54,734
without it making
my stomach hurt.
502
00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:57,233
That effing monster.
503
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:03,033
Back in 2000,
I was living in Queens.
504
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:06,466
I was a mom
in the middle of a divorce,
505
00:30:06,467 --> 00:30:10,133
so kind of maintaining
house and home first.
506
00:30:12,667 --> 00:30:15,700
And then I started dating
a Bad Boy executive.
507
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,265
Through my boyfriend,
508
00:30:17,266 --> 00:30:21,265
I met Sean Combs
at Daddy's House Studio.
509
00:30:21,266 --> 00:30:23,999
It was just a normal,
"Hey, how you doing?
510
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,333
"Welcome to the fam.
Welcome to Bad Boy."
511
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,634
That was the atmosphere.
512
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:30,866
Very fun. Very upbeat.
513
00:30:30,867 --> 00:30:33,666
At that time,
Diddy was the jokester, the prankster.
514
00:30:33,667 --> 00:30:37,165
But now, thinking back,
Diddy would make remarks
515
00:30:37,166 --> 00:30:39,966
that if you have
to really think back to it,
516
00:30:39,967 --> 00:30:42,165
it's like, ugh,
a little weird.
517
00:30:42,166 --> 00:30:43,966
Like, "Hey,
don't leave her alone over here.
518
00:30:43,967 --> 00:30:47,000
You've got a pretty girl.
She's a little thing."
519
00:30:49,066 --> 00:30:50,132
Now, in hindsight,
520
00:30:50,133 --> 00:30:53,000
it's like
we're prepping yourself for the kill.
521
00:30:54,800 --> 00:31:00,066
And then what happened in 2001
changed my whole life.
522
00:31:04,567 --> 00:31:06,966
I was home in Queens.
523
00:31:06,967 --> 00:31:11,333
I got a call
from one of the people at Bad Boy Studios.
524
00:31:11,334 --> 00:31:13,199
They said,
"Puff wants to talk to you
525
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,866
because your boyfriend
is [bleep] up at work again."
526
00:31:15,867 --> 00:31:19,666
There was nothing alarming
about Puff wanting to talk to me
527
00:31:19,667 --> 00:31:23,800
because we've had
a conversation about him screwing up at work
528
00:31:24,867 --> 00:31:27,834
prior to this,
to get him back on track.
529
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:34,133
A little while later,
530
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,999
this burgundy Escalade
pulls up,
531
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,466
and Puff
was sitting in the back, so I jumped in the back.
532
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:42,333
And he said, "Hey, what's up?
533
00:31:42,334 --> 00:31:43,999
Do you want something
to drink?"
534
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,032
I said, "Sure, what you got?"
535
00:31:45,033 --> 00:31:48,466
And he was drinking something
in a red Solo cup.
536
00:31:48,467 --> 00:31:54,233
And he gave me a clear glass,
like a little cup with some white zin.
537
00:32:00,467 --> 00:32:03,966
By the time we got to
Daddy's House Studios,
538
00:32:03,967 --> 00:32:08,766
I started feeling
a little woozy, lightheaded.
539
00:32:08,767 --> 00:32:10,799
I kept doing this,
trying to feel my face
540
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,566
because it kept feeling
a little numb.
541
00:32:12,567 --> 00:32:15,566
I remember getting out
the Escalade.
542
00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:17,966
Still, I'm thinking
we're going to go to the studio
543
00:32:17,967 --> 00:32:20,366
and my boyfriend's
gonna be there.
544
00:32:20,367 --> 00:32:24,766
But at this time,
we went down the hallway
545
00:32:24,767 --> 00:32:27,500
to a door and a lounge
that I've never been to.
546
00:32:29,867 --> 00:32:32,265
And I remember sitting
on the dark couch.
547
00:32:32,266 --> 00:32:34,866
Puff was sitting there
on the couch with me,
548
00:32:34,867 --> 00:32:38,500
and I'm not sure
for how long I was sitting there.
549
00:32:41,667 --> 00:32:44,233
And I started feeling
a lot more fuzzier,
550
00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:46,700
and I remember crying.
551
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:53,366
And the next thing I remember
552
00:32:53,367 --> 00:32:56,600
was I was slammed
on a pool table.
553
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:05,100
I was naked
554
00:33:05,667 --> 00:33:08,466
[exhales] on the pool table,
555
00:33:08,467 --> 00:33:11,834
and my hands
were tied behind my back.
556
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:17,500
And I kept trying to do this
to try to figure out what was tying me.
557
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,300
It felt like plastic bags.
558
00:33:24,467 --> 00:33:28,800
Puffy was standing by the bar
and he was naked.
559
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,366
There was a jar on the bar.
560
00:33:33,367 --> 00:33:36,433
And he put on something
on his privates that-
561
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:39,165
Like, I smell it.
It smelled like menthol.
562
00:33:39,166 --> 00:33:41,366
And he was slathering it in.
563
00:33:41,367 --> 00:33:43,233
[breathes deeply]
564
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:45,600
[sobbing]
565
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,700
[sobbing]
566
00:34:03,567 --> 00:34:05,000
So... [sniffles]
567
00:34:08,467 --> 00:34:11,133
I was still trying
to figure out what's going on.
568
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,433
[exhales]
569
00:34:14,266 --> 00:34:17,300
And Puffy came up
behind me [sniffles]
570
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,466
[breathing deeply]
571
00:34:20,467 --> 00:34:22,300
and went straight in my anus
572
00:34:23,266 --> 00:34:26,966
to where I ended up
throwing up on the pool table.
573
00:34:26,967 --> 00:34:30,500
[sniffling]
574
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:32,600
And screaming.
575
00:34:33,767 --> 00:34:35,700
And I'm not sure
576
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:42,165
if there was anything
coming out my voice while I was screaming,
577
00:34:42,166 --> 00:34:46,400
but I could
feel the burn anally, [sniffs]
578
00:34:47,567 --> 00:34:49,934
and I was trying
to try to kick him.
579
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,466
I'm short so my feet wouldn't
even touch the ground,
580
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:54,666
and I was trying to kick him
581
00:34:54,667 --> 00:34:57,934
and I was trying to hold on
to the table at the same time.
582
00:35:06,967 --> 00:35:13,233
At some point, Puffy stopped,
went back to the bar, wiped himself off
583
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:17,099
because I'm looking at him
like this, still tied,
584
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:21,634
and trying to-
trying to see everything I possibly can,
585
00:35:21,700 --> 00:35:23,966
and trying to focus
'cause it was a big blur.
586
00:35:23,967 --> 00:35:26,800
And then he came back
and went into me vaginally.
587
00:35:27,700 --> 00:35:28,900
And, um...
588
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,600
[exhales]
589
00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:34,399
He said something.
590
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,233
I'm not sure what he said
or if he was even talking to me.
591
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,734
Um...
592
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,999
And then when I came back to,
593
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,800
I was back on the couch.
594
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:00,233
I had stuff all over me, um,
from throwing up, drooling,
595
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:02,165
whatever it was.
596
00:36:02,166 --> 00:36:07,000
But this time,
I didn't have the ties anymore on my hands.
597
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,934
I had red panties on.
I couldn't find my panties.
598
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,766
I remember putting on my bra,
putting my dress on.
599
00:36:16,767 --> 00:36:19,800
I don't even remember
if I put the dress on correctly.
600
00:36:20,266 --> 00:36:22,133
And I ran out the door.
601
00:36:22,967 --> 00:36:24,300
I was terrified.
602
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,867
I just didn't want to die.
603
00:36:33,467 --> 00:36:37,533
I remember running out,
going downstairs, and running down the block.
604
00:36:38,367 --> 00:36:41,934
I didn't see anybody.
I was just gone.
605
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,666
I ended up
calling a cab driver that I knew.
606
00:36:45,667 --> 00:36:48,999
When he came and picked me up,
I jumped in the front seat.
607
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,433
I was a mess.
608
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,466
And he was in shock.
609
00:36:54,467 --> 00:36:57,600
His exact words were
"What the F happened?"
610
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:00,866
Did you get hit by a truck?
A car?
611
00:37:00,867 --> 00:37:02,165
Did you have an accident?"
612
00:37:02,166 --> 00:37:04,165
And he was
checking out my wrist
613
00:37:04,166 --> 00:37:08,033
because I had bruises
and welts on my wrist.
614
00:37:11,867 --> 00:37:14,400
And he took me straight
to Elmhurst Hospital.
615
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,934
I couldn't go in.
I couldn't go in.
616
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,366
I couldn't move.
617
00:37:26,367 --> 00:37:29,165
[exhales] I was scared,
not just for my life,
618
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:31,866
I was scared for my parents
finding out,
619
00:37:31,867 --> 00:37:34,766
just because, you know,
I didn't want to embarrass them.
620
00:37:34,767 --> 00:37:36,517
I didn't want
to embarrass myself.
621
00:37:38,867 --> 00:37:40,934
And I didn't want
to go to the police
622
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,934
because I was in the middle
of a child custody battle and a divorce,
623
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,734
and I didn't want anything
stopping this process.
624
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,766
And he was trying
to convince me to go into the hospital,
625
00:37:51,767 --> 00:37:54,834
and I just wanted to go home.
626
00:38:02,567 --> 00:38:07,866
And just sit in the shower
for about an hour, and that's what I did.
627
00:38:07,867 --> 00:38:12,433
I'm trying to scrub,
literally, like scrub your life away.
628
00:38:15,367 --> 00:38:17,265
I have stayed in bed,
629
00:38:17,266 --> 00:38:21,133
and hiding from my parents
for three days in the same household,
630
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,133
because I still
couldn't fathom what happened.
631
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,099
It didn't seem... real.
632
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:30,700
And then came the questions.
"Why me?"
633
00:38:30,701 --> 00:38:33,099
You know,
we were supposed to be cool.
634
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:34,599
We were supposed
to be like friends.
635
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,366
We were supposed to be,
you know, you know me.
636
00:38:37,367 --> 00:38:41,600
Those were all the thoughts
going through my head while I was hiding.
637
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:53,433
Soon after that, I got a call.
638
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:55,533
And it was Puff.
639
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,333
I was terrified.
640
00:38:59,166 --> 00:39:02,133
He said, "Ay.
Keep your effing mouth shut."
641
00:39:06,767 --> 00:39:08,400
And then he hung up the phone.
642
00:39:08,898 --> 00:39:14,966
Puffy has ways
of finding out stuff and making things happen.
643
00:39:14,967 --> 00:39:16,957
I need to get the hell away
from New York.
644
00:39:18,367 --> 00:39:21,734
I ended up disappearing
for a few years.
645
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:27,033
I was a total wreck,
hanging on to sanity by a thread.
646
00:39:28,066 --> 00:39:31,133
Trying to cope
with being raped and assaulted,
647
00:39:32,166 --> 00:39:33,700
trying to raise a child,
648
00:39:34,367 --> 00:39:35,934
depression,
649
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,566
trying to fight every day
to keep yourself alive,
650
00:39:39,567 --> 00:39:42,099
because at that point
there was nothing there.
651
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:48,400
There was nothing to say, "Okay, you've
got tomorrow to live for, right?" So...
652
00:39:49,637 --> 00:39:52,866
Every day.
Every day was a battle.
653
00:39:52,867 --> 00:39:55,265
Every day was a struggle
to try to keep me
654
00:39:55,266 --> 00:40:01,100
from either killing myself
or doing something stupid.
655
00:40:05,066 --> 00:40:10,866
Today, I'm still coping with
and trying to get through it.
656
00:40:10,867 --> 00:40:15,866
Because in November of 2023,
I was told by my ex-boyfriend
657
00:40:15,867 --> 00:40:20,634
that my assault
was actually recorded on tape.
658
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:27,634
For me, it was like,
why would somebody record raping somebody,
659
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:30,300
and then you show
it to other people?
660
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:33,533
I was so angry.
661
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,033
And then he said, "Do you see
what's happening in the news with Cassie?"
662
00:40:38,034 --> 00:40:40,799
[newscaster 1]
Sean Diddy Combs, the disgraced music mogul.
663
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,165
[newscaster 2]
Sean Diddy Combs.
664
00:40:42,166 --> 00:40:45,866
[newscaster 3]
Sean Diddy Combs, facing a slew of allegations,
665
00:40:45,867 --> 00:40:47,834
including rape
and sex trafficking.
666
00:40:47,835 --> 00:40:49,265
She opened up
