All language subtitles for The.Fall.of.Diddy.S01E04.WEB-DL.MAX

Maybe a
fresh start is just what we need.

There's something
bigger going on here.

I will handle that. You
just save Metropolis.

My God, I feel like
you got the easy part!

In 2022, the BET Awards
gave Combs his Lifetime Achievement Award.

It seems almost
overdue at this point

when you think of this
empire he has created.

As Combs is standing on
this stage accepting this award,

he would say something that
would change the trajectory of his life.

He goes to this quiet moment
and he gets really kind of somber,

and he's like, you know, "I had
gone through these dark patches,

these rough
patches, low points."

Y'all. I'm gonna
keep it 100 with y'all.

I was in a dark place for a few
years. You know what I'm saying?

And he specifically
shouts out Cassie.

He said it to Cassie, "Thanks for
holding me down at dark times."

Also, Cassie, for holding me
down in the dark times. Love.

And when he did that,
my first thing was, "What?"

It was this weird moment

because Cassie and him had
been broken up since 2018.

She had two children,

and so it was just
kind of this weird

pull back to their relationship

when she was publicly moved on.

I remember there was
this whole thing in social media.

And people were like, "my God,

he's still in love with Cassie."

We had no idea that Cassie had
spent a decade trying to escape

the alleged horrendous abuse
she had suffered under him.

That was Diddy saying,
"I don't care about

what you've got going on
right now. You're still mine.

I'm still going to
mark this territory."

That moment
when he called her out on stage,

that was like a form of abuse.

And we know now that that triggered
her and spurned her into action.

I first met
Cassie on a photo shoot,

and when I saw Cass, I was like,
"Wow, that's... that girl is a superstar."

When Cassie first met Diddy, she was
19 years old and he was 37 years old.

I want everybody to meet Cassie.

Y'all know Cassie.

Cassie would
go on to be signed at Bad Boy.

She had like a top-10
hit called "Me and You."

You have
signed with Diddy's label.

What was it like the first time
you met him? Were you starstruck?

I was so nervous, so nervous.

But we sat down for about two
hours, talked about my career

and the future,
and it was great.

Cassie's first
album was called "Cassie."

It was a well-reviewed,
solid 7.58 out of 10.

So I think we were all waiting
on like, "Well, shoot girl,

let's get it popping. What's
next? Where's the new album?

What are we doing?"

Never to be seen.

When Cassie
became part of Bad Boy,

my impression
was there for Puff.

She was there
strictly being an artist.

But then, you
begin to understand

and realize that he always
had intentions of making Cassie,

I wouldn't say his girlfriend
at that particular time,

but having a
relationship with Cassie.

To get her away from
her boyfriend at the time, Ryan Leslie,

Cassie claims that Diddy created this
whole guise to get her down to Miami.

Puff said, "Bonds, we
gotta go back to Miami."

He said, "I got Cassie coming."

He looked at me
and I looked at him

and he said, "Yeah, I'm gonna
get her. I'm gonna get her now."

He invents this event
that she had to appear at with flyers,

the whole works, to
get her to Miami alone

under the pretense
that she had to work.

So instead of them
just working in the studio,

he started taking Cassie
to the clubs with him.

He started bringing her out in
the hopes of winning her over.

In the beginning it was kind of like,
you know, me and the rest of the staff

were just kind of like,
"Are they messing around?

Like they must be
messing around."

But we didn't see anything
romantic per se, right,

until the Miami trip.

And the only reason why this all
had kind of stuck out in my mind

is because I just remembered him

cussing out one
of the assistants

for not having
condoms on the yacht.

I remember lots of parties in
Miami and I remember lots of drugs.

At that particular time
I've seen a lot of ecstasy.

They're partying, you know. I'm
not thinking that this is like a bad thing

back then, you know?

And I was in my 20s, so I'm like,
you know, like, "she came up."

She looked like
she was having fun.

I didn't see anything wrong with
what was happening back then.

You know, now
that I'm in my 40s,

I can see, you know, how it was a
man in power that was taking advantage.

I began to see photos
of them together,

and I was like, "Wow,
okay, here we are."

Their
relationship became public.

And as time went on, they became
a status symbol a power couple.

Cassie was the loyal,
devoted girlfriend.

Diddy showboated her at the
Met Gala, at different things.

He posted her all the time.

Cassie was the first
lady to his president.

Cassie says that Diddy quickly became
ingrained in every aspect of her life.

Her car rental was
under his name.

Her apartments were owned
by him or rented by him.

She said that he had her medical
records sent directly to his email.

Any show that came up,

any producers that
wanted to work with her,

any managers that
wanted to work with her,

you had to go through
him in order to do that.

I mean, I thought
Cassie would be someone

that we would hear
from more consistently,

and I always wondered
why, after the first album

we didn't really
get anything else.

With Cassie, the way
that he controlled her

was by never giving her that career that
she wanted because she would hold on

and keep reaching and keep trying
to to have that career that she wanted.

Looking back, I have a lot
of regrets on not speaking up.

It was really difficult.

It was like it graduated from
one thing to another to another.

When I knew that it
was really a problem

was one time when I'd just
seen him beat Cassie up.

We went to a big
party on Sunset.

And when I was waiting outside,
I seen Cassie come out first.

And then I seen Puff come
out and he was walking fast.

And then all of a sudden, I
just seen him out of nowhere

just punch her.

And then they
started fighting there.

I tried there at first and
said, "Yo, get inside the car.

Are you crazy? Are you crazy?"

And then he said, "No, no, no."

And he started kicking her.

And then she fell. She tripped
over something trying to get away.

And then that's when I
jumped in because it looked like

he was about to kick her again.

I grabbed her and I
threw her in the car

and then I threw
him inside the car.

Puff turned around and they
started fighting inside the car.

She was fighting from the back.

He was fighting from the front.

And so I'm busy trying to
drive, roll the window up

and stop them at the same time.

We got to the house
and then she jumped out.

And then they went
inside the room.

The next thing I knew,
he came out and he said,

"Yo, get this bitch
out of my house."

And then he told me, he said,
"Yo, take over to the London Hotel."

She was crying.

Her hair was... was crazy.

You could tell that
she had been beat up

because of some of the
swellness on her face.

The day that I found
out that he was abusing her...

I went up to the
bodyguard's room

and I'm like, "Yo, like, what's
up? Like what's going on?"

And he's like, "Yo, Chef, like that
went crazy on Cas again.

I thought he was gonna kill her.

And I was like, "What? Like,
what are you talking about?"

And he's like, "Yo, he... he
was beating the shit out of her."

I don't even know
how much time went by,

but Puff came screaming
up the steps and was like,

"Yo, Chef, like, what the
are you doing in my business?

What happens in my
house is my business.

What happens in my
relationship is my business.

I don't know what the
is your problem.

- Like, I'll end you.
- Like, I'll end you.

Like, you better
not tell nobody shit."

He never once said it never
happened. I didn't do that.

He wasn't remorseful in any way.

Like, he was
like just in a rage.

I was really disgusted.

But I'm also being quiet because
I know that he probably really

would beat me up, like,
I knew he was that mad.

And so then he starts calling for
the bodyguard to come downstairs,

and he's like, "Why the you
telling my business?

Like what the
is wrong with you?"

If you know Cassie, then you
know that when something first happens

she doesn't want to
talk to you about it.

You know, whether she's
embarrassed whether she's ashamed.

But when I did come the next
day to deliver her some stuff,

she opened up the door

and she looked at me and she was
like, "Bonds, I can't do it no more."

Whenever I talked to
Cassie, I felt like it was

a father-daughter type of thing.

I said, "You all right?" And then
she... she unbuttoned her shirt.

And she showed me the wounds,
and she was like, "No, I'm not all right."

"I said, "Do you
wanna come back?"

And she was like, "No,
I'm not coming back."

It probably was a week later
I was told to go pick her up,

and I told Diddy, I said,
"she's coming back."

He said, "Yeah,
just go pick her up."

But the way that he
said "She's coming back,"

once you know Diddy,
you know to leave it at that.

Like, not why she's coming
back or not ask no other questions.

Just do as you're
told. Just go get her.

You could tell that she
didn't want to come back.

You know, my father
beat my mother,

so it was like, I
didn't, you know,

so I was just like,
I kind of felt like...

you know, in relationships,
if people choose to stay

what am I to do?

I can't... If you're
not willing to go,

I can't save you
from that, you know.

So I didn't really... I
was very separate.

I feel horrible now, you
know, looking back on it.

There's a lot of people that were
complicit with keeping things quiet.

People knew. People knew.

And people kept quiet.

Who would have thought that
Cassie was going to be the one.

Music mogul Sean Diddy
Combs facing a slew of allegations

including rape
and sex trafficking,

in a stunning new civil lawsuit

filed by his longtime
partner, singer Cassie.

New York
created a look-back window

for survivors of sexual assault.

No matter when the
incident or assault occurred

they could bring a civil
suit against their abuser.

That opened up
the doors for Cassie.

Cassie had tried to leave
her relationship with Diddy

because, allegedly he
was also subjecting her

to extreme physical
and sexual abuse.

Diddy and Cassie's
relationship was a lot of people's goals.

So when I heard about the Cassie
lawsuit, I was maybe six pages in,

and I literally stopped what I was
doing and got prepared to go live.

Listen, let's get
right into this Puffy.

Listen, y'all see
me, you see the hair.

I woke up for this y'all.

I think it's fair to say if these
accusations are true, Puffy is a monster.

I was like, "This is a cultural
moment," and not in a salacious way,

but I really felt like everything
you knew or thought,

everything you assumed
was completely not just wrong,

but it was dark,
disturbing, disgusting.

Cassie claims that Diddy would
have these sexual encounters

arranged for her with other
men that he called "freak offs."

Diddy was accused of conducting
freak offs where Cassie on his behalf

would secure escorts or
other sex workers to come

and engage in
sexual acts with her.

She claims that
Diddy would film these encounters.

That he would masturbate

while Cassie was forced to
participate or engage in these activities,

and sometimes
that he would join in.

I've seen questionable things.

But I never knew exactly
what was going on.

There's been times
where Cassie and Diddy

would just go to the
hotel for a weekend.

And I would see guys
get off the elevator.

And I would peek and I would
see a knock on Puff's door.

Puff's assistant always kept these
little mini recorders with him in his bag.

And I remember specifically,
him losing the tape one time.

And Puff was going crazy.

I mean, everybody
was looking for this tape,

I said, "Yo, what
is on this tape?"

But I never knew that he
was allegedly taping freak offs.

I thought it was
between him and Cassie.

When I read the
lawsuit, I teared up.

The sexual assault,
the trafficking, the abuse...

the drugging, you know,

and this is supposed
to be a significant other.

Cassie opened the floodgates for
so many people to come forward.

Sean Diddy Combs has
been hit with another lawsuit.

Music mogul Sean Combs facing
a fourth accusation of sexual assault.

Lawsuit in the last
month was filed against him today.

I think that people
are coming out now

because there is
strength in numbers.

It's so hard for women to come
forward and speak their truth

about being sexually assaulted.

They see how they're shunned.

They see how they're shamed.

They see how they're silenced.

And then this video clip drops.

It is footage of Diddy from
2016 in a hotel with Cassie,

and it is some of
the hardest footage

I think I've ever had to watch.

Really, really, really
bothers me about that video...

is that she was barefoot.

That's what really bothers
me about that video.

Think of how panicked
you have to be...

to leave a place without
putting your shoes on.

Cassie behaved as a person
who had been beat many times before,

who had been abused
many times before.

She realized there was
nothing she could do.

She just got in
the fetal position

and she just kind of
waited for it to be over.

My God, like, who
was I working for?

He's not even just a monster.

He's like a... I can't
even describe what he is.

I was looking at it, going,
"No, just no, just no, just no."

When you saw
when he dragged her back.

The sheer brutality,

and then two days later,

to know that Cassie
had a movie premiere

and they were laughing
and giving smiles.

It really just made
you be scared

for any woman that
was in Diddy's orbit.

It's so difficult to reflect on
the darkest times in your life.

But sometimes
you've gotta do that.

I was up.

I mean, I hit rock bottom.

But I make no excuses.

My behavior on that
video is inexcusable.

The apology actually
sent me into a rage.

I take full responsibility
for my actions in that video.

For him to have said
that he was at rock bottom

and it was the
worst point in his life.

He was a liar.

It's another performance.

And it's a full-on lie, like,
come on, bro, like you're...

You sound... Like, just shut the
up. Don't talk anymore.

When I watch that
video, I knew he was lying

because I knew what I experienced
in 2021, which was five years later.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to
speak my story and make it public.

Over the last
probably 11 months,

I've decided to speak my
truth and take my power back.

My name is Kat
Pasion. I am an actress.

I moved to Los Angeles in 2013.

And that summer I was at Soho
House with a couple of friends,

and I remember telling them

like Puff Daddy is
like walking over like...

But he was just... He locked eyes
with me and just came, stormed over.

And then he came and sat
and talked to me and my friends

and was really trying
to get to know me,

but I wasn't really...

I wasn't interested.

He tried to give me his
number. I didn't take it.

Maybe because he's like
20 years older than me.

That was the first
time I met him.

He started following me
on Instagram, 2016, 2017.

He would message me all of 2018,

and towards the end of the year

he started inviting
me to some events.

He had invited me
to his birthday party,

and I think that was
his 49th birthday.

It was a
beautiful party. Classy.

Great night, DJ,
everybody danced all night.

It was a really fun night.

And then, I think ten
days after his birthday,

Kim had passed.

Model and longtime girlfriend
of entertainer Sean Diddy Combs,

Kim Porter was found dead in her
Los Angeles home last Thursday.

Authorities say she
went into cardiac arrest

while fighting
flu-like symptoms.

She was 47 years old.

I had a best friend that
passed away on December 8th,

and it was a coincidence

because on that day he hit me up

asking to meet for a
drink at the Bel-Air Hotel,

I felt sympathetic and empathetic
towards him because he had lost Kim.

Something drew me into
wanting to have the drink with him.

I felt like I saw...

somewhat of a a
grieving, vulnerable person.

He just... he felt real,
and I connected with him.

But we were connecting
through the pain.

I had heard a lot of things
about him, not good things,

and one of the first
few times we hung out...

he asked me, "What are
the streets saying about me?"

And I said...

"You really want to know?

I hear that you're
abusive. You're violent.

You're connected to a lot of...

dark things."

And he just looked at me

and was like, "That's what they're
saying," and totally played it off.

Totally played it.

He was trying to... he
was trying to reel me in

and get me comfortable and
show me that he's a good guy.

We spent so much time together and
we were really close and inseparable.

Well, I have my old
phone from that era.

It was very positive
in the beginning.

Very sweet.

I think this was the
time I was transitioning

from being a
brunette to a blonde.

He was very supportive of
the new curation of the look.

This is a voice note.

I ain't gonna lie to you my.

You really got
your look popping.

You made your vision come true.

I'm happy for you.
I'm proud of you.

Love, I hope you
had a beautiful day.

I'd seen his career at
one point to be a blueprint.

And so when we became
friends, I made sure to let him know

that I want to be
part of your meetings.

I want to see how it goes down
when you're doing your Ciroc meetings,

when you're doing
your music meetings.

I just wanted to be a fly on the
wall to, like, absorb and be a student.

And it was like, I see
this girl, you know,

she has potential
and she's dope.

And obviously we had this
friendship and this budding relationship.

It just felt like it was
meant to happen.

It was the honeymoon
phase, though.

Now that I look back
on it, it's strikingly similar

to how Cassie and
Puff's relationship started.

So he at first was...

He would say certain things like, "I'm
trying to do things differently this time."

Which, at the time...

I didn't understand
what he meant,

What was different
from now than before?

And then it
started to filter out.

As I started to see this other side
of him, as the months progressed,

a different side
that I didn't like.

One time earlier on
he had said something

and I had said
something back to him

because I've got
a quick mouth too,

and he turned around

and he put his
hand up on my neck.

But he wasn't like
touching my neck yet.

It was just kind of hovering.

And we were looking
at each other in the eye,

and I was like, "Don't you
dare. Like, you wouldn't.

'Cause I'll call the
police, I'll do whatever."

And then he just
started laughing

and he kind of played it off like it
was a joke and he was just kidding

and we were back
to having fun and...

Yeah, it's those
moments where...

he... he has this...

He's got this, like,
side to him. It's slippery.

Yeah, but you...
I told you to go home.

You had the after
party so stay...

You could have gone to another
, more like, you won't call me back.

Talking away and
acting funny like that.

I got no time for that shit.

He sounds drunk.

It just makes me think...

controlling and...

just an ass.

I remember one time,

it was the beginning of 2019,

and we were in the Bahamas,

on a yacht, and the R. Kelly
documentary had come out.

He came into the
room to watch a little bit.

He's walking out of
the room and he says,

"There's a little bit of R. Kelly in all
of us" and then walks out the door.

And I remember being like...

"What?"

There is not a little bit
of R. Kelly in all of us,

but I wasn't absorbing

really the severity of
that statement until later.

It was my birthday, April
2019, and we went to New York

and at this point, he was
just being more disrespectful.

And I was calling
him out on that.

And I remember
being in the restroom

and I said, "I'm done."

And he looked at me and he said,

"There's something
called AD and BC.

After Death, Before
Christ," referring to himself.

"And you don't want to
know what it's like AD."

He was insinuating,

you don't want to end
up like my ex, Cassie,

"AD."

That was his way of kind of
like threatening me in a way

like, "You're
better off with me.

Like, what are... You're
gonna end up like her."

Our relationship wasn't
what it was before.

I went back to Canada.
Then COVID hit.

So I ended up being in Canada for like
a year and a half and I didn't see him.

But in 2021,

he was starting to
record his Love Album,

kind of collecting
all the collaborators,

and he valued my opinion.

And so he wanted me around.

At that point, it was
more of like a friendship.

We went from the house in Bel-Air
to the Malibu home, and it was great.

We were in the
studio all night, vibing.

We had a day pool party.

Just right. The
vibration right here.

I don't know what everybody's
talking about what everybody's doing,

but I'm saying it's so perfect.

He had some friends
over. It was a good energy.

It wasn't till the last
night when he went dark.

He was on a drug that he
had never done around me,

which was this pink
substance that he was snorting.

I think it's called "Tusi."

He's in the bathroom
for hours and I'm sleeping

and he comes out of the
bathroom and wakes me up.

He's telling me I
can't go to sleep.

He's expecting X,
Y and Z from me.

And...

he...

forces himself.

Like, I don't want
to go too much into it

because I'm not trying to
relive that memory, but...

It was just scary, to be honest.

Yeah, 'cause his whole... his
whole tone, everything changed.

I just don't want to
go into like...

detail of it.

It wasn't consensual.

And...

he...

He...

I don't know, just the person who came
out of that bathroom and woke me up...

was someone that was...
I didn't even recognize him.

And I knew I was never
going to see him again.

And I never wanted to remember
or repeat what happened.

And I just, like, was
numb and I suppressed it.

You feel so small and insignificant
because this person has...

so much power and resources
and all these people like...

It's just very intimidating,

but also at the
same time, it's like...

I feel like I should
have known better.

Like, why was I
in that situation?

Like, that's the shame, though,
because I'm... I'm smart.

But...

Yeah, it's been...

a lot that I've
had to deal with.

Two weeks later, his
assistant called me

and she said, "Mr.
Combs is on the phone.

He would like to talk to you."

So he gets on the phone and he
starts to threaten me and my livelihood.

"I can call the embassy and
get you deported back to Canada.

Like, you don't know
who you're with.

You don't know
what I can do to you."

And he's yelling at me.

He is full throttle pissed off.

I can't even get in a word.

I think towards the end of the
conversation, which was under a few minutes,

I said, "You're a demon."

And he hung up.

This man is sick.

He uses his resources and
uses what he can do for you

and thinks that that
can band aid and solve...

the... the horrible
things he does to people.

Because he thinks he's God.

He thinks, "How would she
not want to come out to Italy

and be in a yacht on the
Amalfi Coast with me?"

Like he's so far gone.

So I mean, karma's a bitch.

And where is he sitting today?

Not on a yacht on the
Amalfi Coast. I'll tell you that.

Sean Diddy Combs behind bars

facing a slew of allegations.

That he has gotten away
with so many things decade after decade.

And so today is the day
that a lot of my sources

kind of hoped but feared
would never happen.

Today I'm announcing the
unsealing of a three-count indictment.

Charging Sean Combs with
racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking,

interstate transportation
for prostitution.

What the indictment essentially
says is that Combs Enterprises

was a criminal organization
being run by Diddy.

It means using your employees,
for example, to facilitate crimes,

to get you drugs, to get you
sex workers, to bribe people,

to threaten people,
to get you guns.

When this
indictment is unveiled,

it is starkingly similar
to the same accusations

Cassie had laid
out in her lawsuit.

There is a mention
of freak offs.

There is a mention
of physical violence.

Her lawsuit served as a
roadmap for this indictment.

The level of detail was intense.

They seized a
thousand bottles of baby oil,

and it became a little bit of a
meme or a joke on social media.

But prosecutors were
trying to demonstrate

that these freak offs were
very organized events.

He and others pressured
witnesses and victims to stay silent,

including by making phone
calls to witnesses and victims.

He didn't do these things.

This was a 10-year relationship.

There's no coercion.
There's no crime.

Eventually, he's going to
be shown to be innocent.

And we'll fight every day until
we don't have to fight anymore.

A judge ordered Sean
Diddy Combs held without bail.

Diddy was denied bail

because the government said, "This
man is a danger to the community."

They said, "He's already demonstrated
that he's willing to tamper with witnesses,

harassing them and calling
them dozens and dozens of times,

or bribing them or
threatening them.

So we can't let him out on bail

because it's going to interfere

with the integrity of the case."

I think this is
the first time that we've seen

someone of this prominence
in the music community

have such a high
fall from grace.

That he is at the
peak of his career.

That he is a businessman.

He is a father.

Um, he is a pillar of the
community, music industry

and also the black community,

and to see him picked
up and kind of right away.

It's really kind of a an
unprecedented moment.

The Southern District of New
York is known as one of the most aggressive

prosecutorial
offices in the country.

They want the elephant.

I think it's very possible that Diddy
has seen his last day as a free man.

When something notorious
or salacious happens to a career

there can be this mood that you
can't celebrate the good days of it, too.

That can happen.

There was a lot of good days.

There's a lot of brilliant
people that made it all happen.

He made hip hop...

seem so vital and
lively to American culture

that everyone wanted
to be a piece of it.

I used to beam with pride...

because I know I was there in those
formulative years to help lay the foundation.

To me, it's all about power.

The industry in a whole can't keep
turning a blind eye to these situations.

There's a lot of people
like Puffy in this music business.

Exposing Puffy
means exposing them.

We are taught no snitching.

We're taught to suppress
violence and abuse.

And so that gives
abusers space to thrive.

And I'm not afraid anymore.

Scream it from the mountaintops.

These people do not have the
power that you think that they do.

I was questioning my faith,

apologizing for things
that I dreamed about.

Like, "Why did I
put this on myself?"

And I haven't been
able to express that

without the world victim
blaming and shaming me

and telling me I just need to be grateful
because he gave me an opportunity.

I have nine bullet fragments
that remain in my face and my head.

He took my peace of mind.

He took my sense of safety.

Being able to speak about it...

is like liberation
to a certain extent.

But if I could just block
everything out, even till today,

I would want that. That
would be best for me.

So I don't have the
trauma anymore.

Combs faces a
minimum of 15 years behind bars,

up to life in prison if convicted
on these three felony counts.

I love the music that
came out of Bad Boy Records.

If the accusations and
the complaints are true...

it wasn't worth it.

You can't listen to it.

At least I cannot
listen to it...

with the same joy.

I don't trust accountability
in this male culture.

Cases are being overturned,

almost to say, "You
thought we believed you.

You thought the accountability
was gonna happen, right?

We just let you have
that for, like, a little while.

But we're just gonna
snatch it right back."

So you say, "Is somebody
gonna be held accountable?"

I'm like, "I don't know."

And then I say, "And
even if they are...

what happened
still happened."
