We are following breaking
news right now related

to music mogul Sean Diddy Combs.

Major new allegations today of sexual
assault and exploitation by Combs.

For the first time we are hearing about

victims who say they were minors when they

were allegedly assaulted by the music star.

The youngest allegedly just nine years old.

The complaint alleges in
part that defendant Combs

and another defendant
committed a quote violation of

New York City victims of
gender motivated violence

protection act by viciously
and violently forcing sexual

contact, oral sex and sexual
intercourse on the plaintiff.

Wherever he is, his resolve is the same.

He believes is innocent.

I believe he's innocent and we're going to

fight this case with all of our might

until we don't have to fight any longer.

Some of the hardest parts of this
pain are the shame and the guilt I have

experienced that plays
a negative part in my

day-to-day ability to function properly.

And they usually do not
indict someone, especially

someone of this kind of
public magnitude without

having all their ducks already lined up.

So I imagine it is
a very serious hit.

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

Sometimes you got to do that.

I was f***ed up.

I mean, I hit rock bottom.

In November, 2023, the
singer Cassie, real name

Cassandra Ventura, filed an
explosive federal lawsuit against

her former partner, Sean
Diddy Combs, claiming he

had been physically and sexually
abusive throughout their relationship.

The complaint alleged that
Combs' abuse ranged from

beating Ventura and forcing her to have sex

with other men to raping
her at her home in 2018.

The rapper settled
the lawsuit within a day.

But it didn't end there.

This was a situation that the rapper
couldn't simply buy his way out of.

Since then, over two dozen men and women

have sued Combs, accusing him of a wide

range of abusive behavior
including sexual harassment, rape,

non-consensual pornography
and sex trafficking.

The situation escalated in
March when federal agents

raided Combs' properties
in Miami and Los Angeles.

And then on September
16th, federal agents arrested

Combs at a Manhattan hotel
following a grand jury indictment.

The music mogul was
charged with racketeering and

sex trafficking, to which
he pleaded not guilty.

A judge ruled that he be
held without bail until trial.

You sure you want to do that?

You sure you want to do that?

Following the raids, Combs'
lawyer Aaron Dyer maintained

that his client is
innocent and will continue

to fight every single
day to clear his name.

The music mogul even took matters into his

own hands, turning to Instagram to
deny all of his accusers' allegations.

I have sat silently and watched people try

to assassinate my character,
destroy my reputation and

my legacy, he said in December.

Sickening allegations have
been made against me by

individuals looking for a quick payday.

Let me be absolutely clear, I did not

do any of the awful things being alleged.

However, anyone's doubts
about the hip-hop mogul's

guilt were swiftly
diminished in May, when CNN

published graphic security footage
showing Combs assaulting Ventura

in a hotel back in 2016.

Viewer warning for content
displaying domestic violence.

New surveillance footage
obtained exclusively by CNN appears

to corroborate some of
the allegations of abuse

against music mogul Sean Diddy Combs.

The video, captured on
multiple cameras, shows Combs

assaulting his then-girlfriend
Cassie Ventura in a

hallway at a Los Angeles
hotel in March 2016.

A lawsuit filed by Ventura in November last

year and settled the next
day referenced actions

that seemed to match
those seen in this video.

According to the complaint,
Combs became extremely intoxicated

and punched Ms. Ventura in the face, giving

her a black eye, which, according to the

lawsuit, prompted Ventura to
try and leave the hotel room.

The surveillance video begins
as she enters the hallway.

The complaint says, as
she exited, Mr. Combs

awoke and began screaming at Ms. Ventura.

He followed her into the hallway
of the hotel while yelling at her.

The complaint goes on to say, he grabbed

at her and then took glass vases in
the hallway and threw them at her.

The video lines up
closely with the allegations

in Cassie's suit, further
cementing her claims and

diminishing any doubts
that may have been left

in the public's mind about whether
or not she was telling the truth.

So often, survivors of
domestic abuse aren't believed

until physical evidence is provided.

Hey, brother love, brother love.

And just like that, the reputation of one

of hip-hop's music moguls was destroyed.

Social media was littered
with jokes about baby

oil and think pieces about how one
man was able to get away with abuse for

so long without getting caught.

Was it his wealth?

His power?

Who else knew about what was
going on and chose to stay silent?

A magnifying glass was placed on all of

the celebrities and staff
who had associated closely

with Diddy over the years as people began

to question just how
innocent they could have been.

Was this all just one big
open Hollywood secret?

But in order for us to truly understand
how Diddy was able to get away with

his crimes for so long,
we have to go back.

Way back to the 90s when Sean Combs

was not yet the superstar
rapper and producer

he is today, but was just a kid from
Mount Vernon trying to make it big.

By whatever means necessary.

Savage! I'm a savage!

Oh!

I'm a savage!

Whatever I want, I'm going to get!

Whatever I want, I have to get!

Puff Daddy, P.

Diddy, Diddy, or at this point, simply Sean

Combs started his life
in Harlem, New York City.

Growing up in a single-parent household, he

was forced to step up as the man
of the house from a young age after

losing his father to crime
when he was only three.

His mother, Janice Combs,
encouraged his artistic pursuits

and he found solace in music.

After dropping out from
Howard University, Diddy began

his career by becoming an intern at Uptown

Records, one of the
oldest and more prominent

hip-hop labels with a roster
including artists such as Mary J.

Blige, Heavy D and the Boyz, and
of course, the notorious B.I.G. It's the

one and only Biggie Smalls
doing his thing in the rap world.

That's right, baby.

He swiftly rose up in the ranks of

the company, eventually becoming
vice president while simultaneously

making a ton of industry connections.

But this abruptly came to an end when

he was fired by the company's CEO, Andre

Hero, for seemingly
becoming too big for his boots.

In an interview with Oprah, Diddy said that

the reason he lost his job was because

he didn't understand protocol
or workplace politics and

there can't be two kings in one castle.

But this wasn't enough to
stop a young Sean Combs.

If anything, it motivated
him to become his own boss.

And in 1993, just weeks after losing his

old job, Diddy formed the label Bad Boy

Records, with one of the first people he

signed being the
notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie.

This was a huge blow to Uptown Records

given the massive success
of Biggie's critically acclaimed

debut album, Ready to Die, in 1994.

Diddy's career and reputation
as a record executive

and producer continued
to grow during the early

to mid-90s, working with artists such as

Mariah Carey, Mase, TLC, Aretha
Franklin, and so many others.

His stamp on the music industry
during this era was undeniable.

Diddy was churning out hit after hit, and

by 1997, the company
had generated over $100

million in record sales.

But whilst things were going well for the

growing star, this was also when he began

to run into some of his legal issues.

Around this time, a
young artist named Tupac

had just released his
second studio album via

TNT Recordings and Interscope
Records and was slowly

beginning to become a household name.

Yeah, I like to think I'm revolutionary.

Tupac and Biggie
eventually went on to become

friends, frequently being seen
together on stage and at events.

However, things changed
quickly when Tupac was shot

five times on his way to a studio
session at Quad Studios in New York in

1994.

The subject is Tupac
Shakur, rapper, actor, court

defendant, and now shooting victim.

Shortly after midnight,
1225 a.m. on Wednesday

morning, Tupac Shakur
was shot five times in

the lobby of this Manhattan
building right behind me.

Police say it appeared to be a robbery

attempt committed by three men as Tupac was

on his way to a recording studio on

the eighth floor of the Powers Building.

Shakur was reported in
serious but stable condition

at Bellevue Hospital
and entered surgery at 10

a.m. Wednesday morning
to check for internal bleeding.

He was grazed by two shots to the head
and wounded in the thigh, hand, and groin.

The gunman, who
remained at large, also made

off with $40,000 worth of jewelry.

Shakur's lawyers who are
downtown awaiting the jury's

verdict on sexual assault
charges against Tupac say

the shooting looks like a
setup and smells like a setup.

After November 30th, 1994,
the relationship between Biggie

and Tupac was never the same.

Rumors about who was
behind the shooting and

speculation about the whole thing
being a setup began circulating.

But none of this mattered because in the

eyes of Tupac, it was
Biggie who set him up.

And thus, the West Coast
versus East Coast beef began.

This is also when suspicion
about Diddy's involvement

started to circulate for
a number of reasons.

After his shooting, Tupac
was facing prison time

for a sexual assault case and had to

which he did on December 23rd, 1994.

Whilst locked up, Biggie
repeatedly stated in interviews

that he had nothing to do with it
and wished for Tupac's freedom.

But Pac wasn't buying it.

He thought that, just like all the other

East Coast rappers, he was putting up a

front for the media and if he really
cared, he would have come to visit him

in prison.

And then, any doubt about who was behind

his shooting was erased with the release of

Biggie's song, Who Shot Ya?, in 1995.

♪ Who shot ya? ♪

♪ Separate the weak from the obsolete ♪

♪ Hard to creep them Brooklyn streets ♪

♪ It's on nigga, fuck
all that bickering beef ♪

♪ I can hear sweat
trickling down your cheek ♪

Diddy maintains that the
song was recorded before

Biggie's debut album,
Ready to Die, which was

released in 1994, before
the Quad Studios shooting

had occurred, but again,
Pac wasn't buying it.

Many believe that Diddy
intentionally released the track

after Tupac was shot as a way to

taunt him and potentially
fuel the battle between

Tupac and Biggie, and he
had plenty reason to do so.

Prior to the shooting,
Diddy had unresolved issues

with the co-founder and CEO of Death

Row Records, the label that
Tupac was signed to, Suge Knight.

And one other thing I'd like to say,

any artist out there that wants to
be an artist, and want to stay a star,

and don't want to have to worry about the

executive producers trying to be all in the

video, all on the record,
dancing, come to Death Row.

The date is September 23, 1995,

and the record producer
Jermaine Dupri is throwing

a party to celebrate
his birthday in Atlanta,

inviting all of his celebrity
friends, including both

Diddy and Suge Knight.

Things remained calm
during the event, but the

afterparty was where
all the trouble began, a

common occurrence that seems
to happen when Diddy's around.

Suge Knight arrived at the
Platinum House nightclub

with only one person, his friend Big Jake,

who also happened to
be an OG Blood member.

Diddy was surrounded
by an entourage filled with

a lot of street guys
with gang affiliations,

one notably being Anthony
Wolf Jones, who was

known to be Diddy's right-hand
man and also a member of the Crips.

According to an off-duty
Fulton County Sheriff

by the name of Chris Howard who was

working as security that
night, Diddy and Suge

inevitably ended up getting
into a heated confrontation,

resulting in both parties
being asked to leave the club.

In an attempt to avoid
the altercation getting

any worse outside,
Suge's party was asked to

remain inside whilst Diddy's
entourage cleared out.

But of course, things only got
worse once they hit the streets.

As Howard recalled, I
told Suge, okay, coast

is clear, and we walked
outside and got into the limo.

His partner was just about ready to
get into the limo when all of a sudden

Puffy's guys came from around the
corner and one of them had a gun.

I chased the guy with
the gun around the corner.

Howard said, he handed
the gun off to another guy.

It was a .45. By the time I got
back out front, that's when the guy

took a shot at Suge's partner.

He shot him two or three times.

Howard said he had drawn his weapon but

couldn't fire because a crowd
had gathered outside the club.

He said he saw the shooter jump
into a car carrying Cobb's associates.

I couldn't see who was driving, but
all the guys who were with Puffy ran to

the car when the shooting
took place, Howard said.

Then the shooter jumped
in, and they drove off.

Fifteen minutes later
the police arrived, but by

that point the shooter was nowhere to be

found and no weapon was ever recovered.

The victim, Jake Robles, also known as Big

Jake, died in the
hospital a few weeks later.

A lot of speculation
followed that night over

who actually shot Big
Jake, but Jermaine Dupree

and many others believed it
was Wolf who took the fatal shot.

This was the night that officially turned a

competition in hip-hop
to a full-blown beef.

With Bloods and Crips now involved in the

beef, things turned
violent quickly, and over the

following year a lot of blood was shed,

including the blood of
the superstar of Death

Row, Tupac, and eventually
the legendary Notorious B.I.G.

With all that was going on, tensions
rose to a point where both Biggie

and Tupac ended up losing their lives, and

with Diddy being so
heavily associated with the

drama, many believed him
to be involved somehow.

He denies all involvement to this day.

Regardless, this is just one
example of Diddy's nefarious activities.

If we delve even further into his past,

we begin to see a pattern of violence.

For example, in 1999 Diddy caught his first

assault charge following
the accidental release of a

Nas music video for
the song Hate Me Now.

♪ You can hate me now ♪

♪ Q.B. ♪
♪ But I won't stop now ♪

♪ ‘Cause I can't stop now ♪

♪ Bravehearts ♪
♪ You can hate me now ♪

♪ Come on ♪

The infamous music video,
directed by Hype Williams,

featured a controversial
depiction of Diddy and Nas

carrying large wooden
crosses on their backs and

being flogged by an angry mob.

The full video remained buried for 20 years

until 2022 when a user
named HipHopVCR posted

the entire music video on Patreon, and as

expected, the reception
was widely negative.

Diddy, having been raised
in the Catholic Church,

had a chat with his priest before the

release of the video and decided he no

longer wanted his
crucifixion scene included.

However, by the time he came to that

decision it was already
too late, large sums

of money had been spent, and Steve Stout,

Nas's manager, was
reluctant to make the change,

especially given the fact
that the crucifixion scene

was Diddy's idea in the first place.

On April 15th, 1999, the uncut music video

aired on national TV, and according to XXL,

it was only a matter of minutes before

Diddy and his bodyguards
burst into Steve's office

to violently assault him
in front of two clients.

While speaking to the LA
Times, Steve recounts the incident.

One minute I'm in the middle of a
meeting and the next I'm down on the

floor and Puffy and his guys
are kicking and pounding me.

One of them picks up a
chair and throws it at me.

Then Puffy throws my desk over and they

just walk out like nothing happened.

I was laying there on the floor bleeding.

My jaw and my head were all swollen.

I couldn't move my arm.

It was a traumatic experience and in the

middle of it I didn't
know exactly how to feel.

I was upset, embarrassed,
scared, and angry.

As far as I'm concerned
this was an attempt on my life.

Almost instantly, Diddy was
arrested, criminally charged, and

faced up to seven years in prison until

Steve suddenly had a change of heart and

asked the DA's office to drop the
charges once Diddy apologized.

And if that wasn't enough, one of the

most high-profile
controversies involving P.

Diddy was the 1999
shooting at Club New York.

On December 28th, 1999, Sean Combs and then

girlfriend Jennifer Lopez
had been celebrating a soon

to-be-released album by Shine, aka Jamal

Barrow, the rap mogul's 21-year-old
protege at Midtown's Club New York.

They were leaving when
Combs, carrying a bottle

of champagne, accidentally
jostled one of the club's

patrons, knocking a drink out of his hand.

The man, Matthew
Allen, a street tough known

as Scar, responded with a shove.

Things escalated.

One of Allen's companions
allegedly threw a stack

of money in Combs' face, and shots were

fired, leaving three people injured.

Combs and Lopez were
arrested fleeing the scene

in a Lincoln Navigator
with a gun in the trunk.

J. Lo was quickly absolved,
and although witnesses said

they'd seen Combs with the weapon, and his

driver testified that
his boss had bribed him

to claim ownership, his
legal team, including Johnny

Cochran, created enough doubt
that Combs was acquitted too.

I don't know if you know this judge,

but this person Jennifer
Lopez is a very famous actress.

One lawyer pointed out, To think Mr. Combs

is walking around with
her with a loaded gun.

It's so ridiculous that it
stretches the imagination.

In the end, it was Shine who served

almost nine years for
assault, gun possession, and

reckless endangerment,
though he did so angrily, claiming

Combs had sold him
out to save his own skin.

After his acquittal, Combs
changed his nickname to P.

Diddy in hopes of putting the past behind

him, but the case still casts a
shadow over his reputation to this day.

This was just another example of
Diddy's involvement in shady situations.

It seems that his abusive past has always

been one of the industry's
worst kept secrets,

and it's important to note here just how

popular and powerful Diddy
was becoming at this point.

Following the tragic murder
of The Notorious B.I.G.,

Diddy's tribute single,
I'll Be Missing You,

featuring Faith Evans,
debuted at number one

on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained in

the number one spot for an astounding 11

weeks, as well as topping
charts around the world.

Diddy's mainstream celebrity
status continued growing with the

release of his debut album, No Way Out,

which sold 3.4 million physical copies in

the United States alone, going platinum.

He even managed to earn
five Grammy nominations

for this album in 1997, going
on to win for Best Rap Album.

In 1998, he created the Sean John clothing

line that later became
a cultural phenomenon.

From there, he dipped
into fragrances, alcohol, and

even set up a media company, becoming the

host of multiple reality
shows where he would

discover new talent and make people stars.

Diddy was hanging out with all the hottest

celebs, from Kanye West to
Donald Trump and Martha Stewart.

By now, he was rich.

Filthy rich.

It's estimated that he has more than $800

million in valuation
of property and assets.

And according to a business
insider, Diddy's record

label brought in about $130
million annually in its prime.

It's safe to say that his lifestyle was

nothing short of lavish, and with all of

his fame and wealth, he became known for

putting on some of the most extravagant
parties for his celebrity friends.

But once the main party had ended and

the majority of the guests had gone home,

this is allegedly where
the more obscene activities

would begin, better known as freak-offs.

During these freak-offs,
another side of Combs

would come out, and it was only a
matter of time before the true Diddy was

exposed for the world to see.

Hey there, I'm Lindsay
Sharp, joining Ashton and

Diddy this year in Beverly Hills where they

brought the infamous White Party.

It's Fourth of July, but we're also
shining a light on Malaria No More.

A Sean Diddy Combs
party invitation was once

the ultimate Hollywood
pass, with guest lists featuring

A-listers like Justin
Bieber, Mariah Carey, Paris

Hilton, and Jennifer Lopez.

These events were a star-studded affair.

Even Jay-Z and Beyonce have used
Diddy's parties to debut new music.

Oh man, it was like
maybe over a decade ago.

I moved to a new neighborhood and they

were like, well what's
this guy doing moving

here in East Hamptons, and you know, and

he has this estate on the
water, what's going on?

And so I said everybody, come on over,

come on over to the house
so y'all get to know me.

Let me invite some of my friends
from Harlem, from 145th Street.

Let me mix y'all together so y 'all
know you ain't got nothing to be afraid of.

You ain't got to hold hold your pocketbooks

tight or nothing when I'm
jogging in the neighborhood.

And you know, then it was history.

Everybody became
friends, and a lot of people,

you know, really kept
friendships from that.

It was something that I just did every

summer, you know, in the Hamptons, and I

took it overseas to Saint-Tropez, and then
I brought it here to L.A., and you know.

Now why did you decide to
bring it to L.A. this time around?

I was out here shooting a movie, and

just out here meeting
new people, and really

also it was just the prime place to

do because of, you know,
Ashton's located here,

and to do the whole malaria no more.

Oh well, I've never been to the white

party before, and this is definitely a
big way to spend the Fourth of July.

I can't imagine it any other way, but

being in New York all the other years,

just seeing the fireworks
and everything, L.A.

was just a change of
scenery, so I'm excited about it.

Lastly, what makes Ashton and
Diddy the perfect process for the night?

They're just a dynamic duo.

They're big together, so I don't know.

I'm excited to see what's inside.

I don't know what's gonna happen.

In the Los Angeles area, the rapper lived

on what has become known as Beverly Hills'

most expensive street.

The high fences allow
celebrities to hide from

prying eyes, and Hugh Hefner's Playboy
Mansion sits only a few doors down.

Diddy's mansion in Beverly Hills was one of

several venues he used to host his annual

White Party, a flagship event
which he held from 1998 to 2009.

He began the parties
in New York's exclusive

Hamptons area with a strict all-white dress

code, bringing together East
Hampton's old-money elite

and the rising stars of hip-hop.

Mr. Combs once described the parties as a

way to break down racial
and generational barriers,

but the hottest party of the year was

a facade that allowed sinister
conduct, according to recent lawsuits.

In a lawsuit, a man, who was 16

years old at the time, described the thrill

of getting to attend Mr. Combs'
first White Party in 1998.

Walking into the Hamptons'
mansion, he saw celebrities

and entertainment
executives left and right.

In the lawsuit, he said he believed the

party could open doors to a music career.

He said he was on his way to the
bathroom when he ran into the rapper.

They started talking and then
moved to another, more private area.

That's when Mr. Combs said the teen had

the right look and he could turn
anyone into a star, the lawsuit states.

Then things took a dark turn.

Mr. Combs abruptly
ordered the then-teenage boy

to drop his pants so that Mr. Combs

could examine and touch
him, the lawsuit alleges.

According to the lawsuit, Mr. Combs said it

was a rite of passage and
the route to becoming a star.

It also claims that he said it was a
way for him to prove himself, asking

the teen, don't you want
to break into the business?

As more and more people come out with

claims against Mr. Combs,
the internet has begun

to draw links between some of the recent

allegations and what some
would describe as suspicious

relationships with a couple
well-known artists who

were frequently around Diddy in
the earlier stages of their careers.

That's why I don’t be
going to them puffy parties.

Uh-huh.

They can hug you from the front
and the back of the seat, huh?

What you talking about?

P Diddy be wanting to party.

And you gotta tell him no.

You've got to tell him no.

In August 2016, R&B legend Usher appeared

on The Howard Stern Show where he described

some of his earliest
years in the music industry.

At just 15, Usher was
already collaborating with

established executive Sean
Combs, who was happy to

co-produce the young
artist's self-titled album in 1994.

But this didn't simply end
as a business relationship.

It seems that the pair seemed to get

very close as Usher told Howard
that he lived with the mogul for up to a

year without his parents even knowing.

Diddy introduced Usher
to an entirely new world,

he said, one that was
wildly inappropriate for

someone who was as young
as Usher was at the time.

Remember, Usher was just a
teenager and Diddy was well into his 20s.

In the 90s.

Do you understand what that's like?

Puffy's place was like
just filled with chicks

and orgy and like non-stop, right?

No, not really.

I mean, but hey, it was curious.

I got a chance to see some things.

Yeah, but you were 13,

- What were you seeing?
- I went there to see the lifestyle.

- Right.
- And I saw it.

In fact, in a 2004 interview with Rolling

Stone, Usher revealed
that Diddy had shown him

a totally different set of things,
specifically when it came to sex.

Girls were always around, Usher explained.

You'd open a door and see somebody doing

it, or several people in
a room having an orgy.

You never knew what was going to happen.

Fast forward 12 years and Usher's
testimony hasn't changed a bit.

It was during this interview
that Usher confirmed

once more that he got a chance to

see some interesting things
whilst living under Diddy's

roof, and despite being a child, he was

exposed to an explicit
lifestyle he couldn't understand.

Finally, Howard asks if he'd ever send his

own kids to Puffy Flavor Camp, and Usher's

immediate response to this question
tells us all we really need to know.

But it wasn't just these videos that
were re-emerging in the public psyche.

A couple YouTube videos featuring a 15-year

old Justin Bieber were
suddenly making rounds on

the internet in light of
Diddy's recent allegations.

Originally posted in
November 2009, right as Justin

was becoming a global
superstar, the two-minute

video has generated
headlines again, mainly due to

it being such an uncomfortable watch.

Titled Justin Bieber's
48 Hours With Diddy, the

first 30 seconds feature
Diddy gifting the young

pop star a brand new
Lamborghini and promises

Justin that in a year, when he
turns 16, this car is all his, and when

he turns 18, the giant
mansion behind them is his too.

Justin asks him where
they're going, and when

Diddy asks him where he wants to go,

that's when it gets slightly more awkward.

Some claim that people
are reading too deeply

into things, but given
all the allegations against

Diddy, there's good reason
to believe that something

shady may have been going on.

Check this out yo, um, Justin, he's
in, you ever seen the movie 48 hours?

Right now he's having 48 hours with Diddy,

him and his boy, um, they're having the

times of their lives, like, like, like, you

know, where we hanging out and what we

doing, um, we can't
really disclose, but, um,

it's definitely a 15 year old's dream.

The implications that a grown man
like Diddy is about to go out and help a

teenager find girls is
pretty odd at face value.

This could have all been some sort of

harmless promo for Diddy's
album or some sort of project.

However, given the mountain
of allegations against Diddy,

it makes sense why all of these videos

have come back under public scrutiny.

2024 has been a harrowing
year for Sean Combs.

Two years ago, the rap musician and mogul

threw a lavish 53rd birthday party at his

$61 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

A host of stars lined up to toast

his career, with a guest list
that included Travis Scott, Mary J.

Blige, Chris Brown, and Machine Gun Kelly.

Fast forward to 2024, and
his career is on the ropes.

In a case filed in New York, the

star has been accused of
kidnapping, drugging, and

coercing women into sexual
activities, sometimes through the

use of firearms and threats of violence.

The same Los Angeles
mansion that hosted his

birthday party was
raided by police in March.

There, officers seized
supplies that they say were

intended for use in orgies known as freak

offs, including drugs and more than 1,000

bottles of baby oil.

Mr. Combs has denied
all the charges, entering

a not guilty plea on Tuesday,
the 17th of September.

The federal government
is very deliberate in when

they bring criminal charges and for them to

be executing this
warrant now, I imagine this

investigation has been
going on for months or

longer and they usually
do not indict someone,

especially someone of this
kind of public magnitude,

without having all their
ducks already lined up.

So I imagine it is a
very serious case.

The court case comes after a year in

which the musician has faced
lawsuits from a number of women.

Let's rewind to see where his
current court situations began.

It alleges that between at least 2008 and

the present, Combs abused,
threatened, and coerced victims

to fulfill his sexual desires,
protect his reputation,

and conceal his conduct.

On November 16th, 2023,
singer and model Cassandra

Ventura filed a lawsuit against
the music mogul Sean Combs.

Cassie and Diddy were in an on-off

relationship from 2007 to 2018, beginning
when Cassie was 19 and Combs 37.

Cassie was signed to
Mr. Combs' record label

and dated him for more than a decade,

but in a civil lawsuit, she said the

mogul had used his position of power to

set the groundwork for a
manipulative and coercive

romantic and sexual relationship.

Her lawsuit included graphic
descriptions of violent abuse,

alleging that Mr. Combs
regularly beat and kicked

Ms. Ventura, leaving black
eyes, bruises, and blood.

She described parties
known as freak-offs, drug

fueled, days-long sexual
performances, which Mr. Combs

allegedly coerced women into
and filmed for his own pleasure.

Ms. Ventura also accused
the musician of sexual

abuse and rape, and claimed that many of

these incidents were witnessed
by his tremendously loyal

network, who were
not willing to do anything

meaningful to stop the violence.

Mr. Combs would
allegedly want to have these

freak-offs at random
moments, and Ms. Ventura

was expected to both
facilitate the locations for

where they would take place as well as

find and hire the sex workers herself.

Cassie even recalls an
alleged instance where she

was cornered by his security who forced her

to leave her friends at her 29th birthday

party to have a spontaneous freak-off with

Diddy at a nearby hotel,
despite expressing clearly

that she didn't want to go.

When the couple then
returned from the freak

off, Diddy, still intoxicated,
allegedly grabbed one of

Cassie's friends like a
child and dangled the

over the balcony of
the 17th floor hotel suite.

The lawsuit even goes on to name the

exact locations where
these freak-offs would occur,

with the hotels occasionally
charging Diddy thousands of

dollars in damages afterwards.

She was forced to use websites and escort

services to find male sex
workers, specifically instructing

her to search for terms like large black

penises on the website,
as the lawsuit asserts.

It goes on to say that Mr. Combs

would always supply Ms. Ventura and the sex

workers with copious
amounts of drugs before and

during the FOs, including
cocaine, GBH, ketamine, marijuana,

and alcohol in excessive
amounts, which would allow

her to disassociate during
these horrific encounters whilst

Diddy would masturbate to
Cassie having intercourse with

other inebriated sex workers.

With drugs, and all the
stuff that's going on, pills,

drinking, this man into a
monster, and that's what it did, bro.

It made him into a monster, bro.

These freak-offs would
last for days, according

to Cassie, and it became commonplace to get

IV fluids in the days after a freak-off

to recover from the excessive
substances pushed upon her.

The lawsuit even alleges
that Diddy insisted that

Cassie wear white nail
polish to contrast her

nails with the skin of the
men hired to have sex with her.

For Diddy, this was all about power.

The lawsuit states that
Diddy would even direct

the sexual encounters,
specifically telling Cassie where he

wanted her to touch whilst
he masturbated, saying

things like, grab that big black
dick and asking her how does it feel.

As the lawsuit puts it, Diddy treated the

forced encounter as a
personal art project, adjusting

the candles he used for lighting
to frame the videos he took.

Diddy would constantly
leverage his power and influence

in the music industry to
get whatever he wanted.

He even insisted that Cassie refer to him

as Pop-Pop upon learning that was
the nickname she gave her grandfather.

Remember, there's a 18-year age gap between

these two, and Diddy made
it clear who was in control.

The pair met in late 2005 or early

2006 after he heard
Cassie's first single playing

in a club and expressed interest in signing

her to his Bad Boy Records label.

Within months, Cassie signed to a 10-album

deal, an extremely
large number of albums to

sign away in one go, which would probably

lead to a very drawn-out
business relationship.

Mr. Combs would constantly
flaunt his authority and

status and assert possession
and control over her

to the point where almost all aspects of

Ventura's life were
controlled by either Mr. Combs

or his management companies.

This, tied with the fact that Cassie was

given a constant supply of drugs and pills

out in the open, quote,
like candy, explains

how Diddy was able to maintain control over

Ms. Ventura for so many
years, starting in 2008.

Many people have seen
similarities with this and

the tactics used by another
famous abuser, Jeffrey

Epstein, who also drugged
the many girls he kept around.

The next decade of Cassie's life was spent

trapped in a vicious
cycle of violence, abuse,

and sex trafficking, according to the suit.

The lawsuit also alleged
that Mr. Combs went

as far as to destroy a car belonging
to U.S. rapper and actor Kid Cudi

to dissuade him from dating her.

In 2011, Cassie entered
into a brief relationship

with Kid Cudi, real name Scott Ramon Seguro

Mescuti, and would often seek refuge at his

home to escape the wrath of Diddy.

However, upon stealing
her phone and finding an

email exchange between
Cuddy and Cassie, Diddy became

enraged, unable to control
his temper, and attempted

to attack Cassie with a sharp
corkscrew lodged between his fingers.

She managed to escape to Cuddy's house that

night, ultimately returning
later once she felt as

though she could never outrun Diddy.

The lawsuit then alleges that he hit
her and kicked her in the back as she

tried to escape again.

Her parents later took
photos of her bruises

from this incident, and after a few months,

Diddy allegedly told
Cassie that he was planning

to blow up Kid Cudi's car and wanted
to be sure that Cuddy was home when

it happened.

Sure enough, in February 2012, Kid
Cudi's car exploded in his driveway.

This is just one example of the lengths

in which Diddy would go to
maintain his control and dominance.

Cassie and Combs mutually agreed to
settle the case on November 17th, 2023.

Four days after filing
her lawsuit, Cassie asked

the court to dismiss her entire case with

prejudice, which meant that her
claims could not be filed again.

Speculation over why they
settled so quickly dominated

the news over the following weeks.

Was she paid off?

Why didn't he want
to face her in court?

Was this an admission of guilt?

Regardless of the reasons
for settling, doing so

didn't mean an end to
Diddy's legal problems.

If anything, Cassie's case
opened the floodgates for

lawsuits against Diddy.

In the weeks after settling
Cassie's lawsuit, Mr.

Combs was accused of
sexual assault dating back

to 1991 by multiple women and men.

One of the more prominent cases came from

Rodney Jones Jr., better known as Lil Rod,

a record producer from Chicago who filed a

105-page federal complaint
against Combs on February

2nd, 2024, accusing him and the people who

work with him of being part of
an illegal racketeering enterprise.

Some of you may
know me or may not.

I'm a music producer
who's a writer and musician.

Different genres.

I started in gospel and jazz and R
&B and worked my way over to the

hip-hop side.

I've been working on an album.

I took a year off straight
working on this album.

That album is the Love
Album Off the Grid by Diddy.

And it's Grammy nominated
right now, as we speak.

I should be celebrating,
but the truth is I'm not.

Jones alleges in his complaint that he has

irrefutable evidence of the
acquisition, use, and distribution

of ecstasy, cocaine, GHB,
ketamine, marijuana, and mushrooms,

the displaying and distribution
of unregistered illegal firearms,

and the solicitation of
minors and sex workers.

According to Jones, as he alleges in the

complaint, Combs
reached out to Jones in 2022

to help him produce songs, but Jones claims

the work Combs required of him
went far beyond producing music.

He claims in the lawsuit that he was

tasked with procuring drugs
and soliciting sex workers

to perform sex acts to
the pleasure of Mr. Combs.

Jones alleges that
Combs also required him to

sex acts and that Combs
would often threaten

to inflict bodily harm on him if he
did not comply with his demands.

Jones alleged in his
complaint that Combs kept

specific bottles of alcohol
designated for females on hand.

And according to
Mr. Jones, Mr. Combs forced

all the women to drink
Laced De Leon liquor.

Upon information and
belief, Mr. Combs laced the

liquor with ecstasy, the lawsuit claims.

He also accuses Combs
of sexual harassment and

assault for allegedly grabbing
him without his consent

and forcing him to work while
Combs paraded around naked.

He also alleges that Combs once left him

alone in a makeshift studio on a yacht

with Cuba Gooding Jr., who he said then

began touching, groping, and
fondling his upper thighs near his groin.

He said Gooding did not stop
until he forcibly pushed him away.

He made a bail appeal to Judge Carter.

It did not go our way.

The fight continues.

We're not giving up by a long shot.

I told Mr. Combs I'm going to try
and get his case to trial as quickly

as possible.

He's ready.

He's focused.

He has been ready to defend this case

since he first found out about this case.

Nothing has changed from his perspective.

I obviously would much prefer to fight this

case with him out of jail, and we
are going to try to bring that about

through additional legal process.

Wherever he is, his resolve is the same.

He believes he's innocent.

I believe he's innocent, and we're going to

fight this case with all of our might

until we don't have to fight any longer.

Following Jones' claims, Combs'
attorney Sean Holley provided

a near-identical statement
he provided to The

New York Times on February 26, 2024.

Mr. Jones is nothing more than a con

man, shamelessly looking for an easy
and wholly undeserved payday, it said.

We have indisputable,
incontrovertible proof that his claims

are complete fabrications.

Our attempts to share this proof with Mr.

Jones' attorney, Tyrone
Blackburn, have been ignored as

Mr. Blackburn has
refused to return our calls.

We look forward to addressing
these ridiculous claims

in court and intend to take all appropriate

action against all who are
attempting to peddle them.

But the lawsuits just kept on coming.

On December 2, 2023,
an anonymous lawsuit was

filed against Diddy in
federal court in Manhattan.

Doe alleges that she was gang-raped and

sex-trafficked by Combs
and former president of

Bad Boys Records, Harv Pierre, when
she was only 17 and in the 11th grade.

She alleges she met Pierre in a
lounge in Detroit, and he told her he was

best friends with Combs.

Doe claims Combs convinced
her to accompany Pierre

and a third assailant on a private jet
to come to his studio in New York City.

She claims she agreed and boarded a jet

that flew to Teterboro, New Jersey,
and was taken to Combs' studio.

She alleges that, once there, Combs and his

associates, including Pierre,
plied her with drugs and

alcohol and alleges she
was subsequently gang-raped

at the studio by Combs,
Pierre, and a third assailant.

Her complaint states
that while Mr. Combs was

raping Miss Doe, he
complained that he could

not get off unless she pinched his nipples

as hard as she could and that Combs

then allegedly watched
as the third assailant raped

her while she told him to stop.

After third assailant was
finished, Mr. Pierre took

his turn at raping Miss Doe and then

violently forced her to give him oral sex,

during which Miss Doe
was choking and struggling

to breathe, according to the complaint.

The complaint alleges,
in part, in the first

cause of action, that
defendant Combs and another

defendant committed a,
quote, violation of New York

City Victims of Gender-Motivated
Violence Protection Act

by viciously and violently
forcing sexual contact, oral

sex, and sexual intercourse
on the plaintiff, end quote.

The lawsuit also alleges
that, quote, defendant Combs

and another defendant
published and or disseminated the

videos without plaintiff's
knowledge or consent.

A similar case was filed by Joy Dickerson

Neal on November 23, 2023, in New York

Supreme Court, which was one day before the

cutoff for civil cases
for past sexual offenses

under New York's Adult Survivors Act.

In her 22-page complaint,
Dickerson alleges that

she met Combs after she had appeared in

a music video with him while she
was a student at Syracuse University.

She claims she later agreed to go out

to dinner with him on January 3, 1991,

while on school break.

During their date, Dickerson alleged
that Combs intentionally drugged her.

She accused Combs of
sexually assaulting her and

video recording the sexual
assault, according to her complaint.

Days later, a male friend
allegedly revealed to

her that he, along with other
men, had viewed the sex tape.

She asked her friend who had seen the

tape, and her friend
allegedly told her everyone.

Dickerson claims from
that point, her life went

into a tailspin, and
after returning to college,

she had to be admitted to the hospital

for severe depression
and suicidal ideation.

Dickerson claims she
has suffered a lifetime of

injuries from being drugged,
sexually assaulted, and abused.

The internal pain after
being sexually assaulted has

been incredibly deep
and hard to put into words.

It goes beyond just physical harm
caused by and during the assault.

Some of the hardest parts of this
pain are the shame and the guilt I have

experienced that plays
a negative part in my

day-to-day ability to function properly.

Being blamed, questioned, and threatened
has often made me feel worthless.

She is suing him for assault and battery,

intentional infliction of emotional
distress, human trafficking, and

revenge porn.

Through a spokesperson, Combs denied
and rejected the claims of misconduct.

“He recognizes this as a money grab”,

the spokesperson said in a statement.

About your own style, you're well known for

your style, you all look fantastic.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

I mean your style has evolved too.

Yeah, yeah, I think my style
has evolved, but also at the same

time, it's important that I do make an

announcement that there has been
a lot of swagger jacking of my style.

Another lawsuit comes
from someone who used to

work directly with the
music mogul, Dawn Richard,

who was a member in two of Combs's

musical groups, Danity
Cain, and then Diddy Dirty

Money, filed a 55-page
lawsuit against Combs

in Manhattan's federal court,
saying she personally witnessed

Combs assault his
then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

Richard's suit claims that
his abuse included choking

and strangling Miss
Ventura, striking her with his

hands and with objects,
slapping her, punching her,

and throwing items at her,
including a scalding hot pan.

Richard also describes
trying to help Ventura and

Combs threatening her life in return.

Richard's lawsuit alleges that
Combs regularly hurled objects

and fits of rage, including
mobile phones, laptops,

food, and studio equipment at people.

Richard says she also saw Kim Porter, the

mother of three of
Combs' children, leave the

recording studio in 2005 in tears
and with visible facial injuries.

Richard claims she was
present when Combs had

a party and that dozens of girls, some

of whom appeared to be underage, were given

drugs and alcohol, and
that even though many

of them appeared
lethargic or passed out, Mr.

Combs and his guests
performed sexual acts on

them, according to her complaint.

Richard's lawsuit states that
Mr. Combs repeatedly said

things like, "'This is a buffet.

Enjoy yourselves.

"'This is what we do.

This is how we party.'" Richard says she

was concerned for her
safety, was subjected to

gender-motivated violence,
and was sexually harassed and

assaulted by Combs.

She is suing Combs
for sex trafficking, sexual

assault, sexual battery, and
false imprisonment, among other

claims, and is demanding a jury trial.

And Diddy wasn't the
only Combs family member

that was facing legal trouble.

Accusations were made against
his son, Christian Combs, too.

Sean Combs' 26-year-old son, Christian King

Combs, is being sued
for sexual assault, battery,

and intentional infliction of emotional
distress, among other allegations.

The 31-page lawsuit
brought by Grace O'Marque

claims that she was sexually
assaulted while working

as a yacht deckhand for the family during

Christmas break in 2022 in the Caribbean.

She is also asking that Sean Combs
be held liable for his son's actions.

O'Marque is facing legal
actions for charting the

yacht, assuming responsibility for his
guests throughout the Caribbean trip.

That's King Combs.

He's gonna be way bigger than me.

O'Marque alleges that
there was a constant rotation

of suspected sex workers and other A-list

celebrities, such as French
Montana and actor Cuba

Gooding Jr. on the yacht.

O'Marque alleges sex workers
were sprawled out unconscious

about that yacht, and it was difficult to

distinguish which bottles
of alcohol were laced with

drugs and which bottles were not.

In the early morning of
December 28th, 2022,

a heavily intoxicated Christian
Combs physically assaulted her,

according to her complaint.

She alleges that Christian
blocked her from leaving,

took off all his clothes, and tried to

force her to perform
oral copulation on him.

O'Marque is suing Diddy,
blaming him for fostering

an environment of debauchery
filled with suspected sex

workers, violence, alcohol
allegedly laced with drugs, and

disrespect for crew.

Aaron Dyer, an attorney for the father-son

duo, called the lawsuit's
claims lewd and meritless.

This complaint is filled with the same kind

of manufactured lies and
irrelevant facts we've come

to expect from Blackburn,
he said, referring to

the lawyer also representing Rodney Jones.

These are just some of the
claims filed against Sean Combs.

More than two dozen
people have filed lawsuits

against the rapper,
accusing him of using his

influence and power to create an
empire of drugs, sex, and abuse.

Following the allegations,
six of Diddy's seven kids

also released a joint statement to
Instagram in support of their father.

In a collaborative Instagram
post shared on Tuesday,

October 22nd, Combs'
eldest child, 33-year-old

Quincy, wrote, The past
month has devastated our family.

Many have judged both him and us based

on accusations, conspiracy
theories, and false narratives that

have spiraled into
absurdity on social media.

We stand united, supporting
you every step of the way.

We hold onto the truth, knowing it will

prevail, and nothing will
break the strength of our family.

We miss you and love you, Dad.

The post, which includes a photo of the

entire family sitting on an
inflatable bounce house,

listed Quincy's five siblings,
Justin, 30, Christian, 26,

Chance, 18, and twins, Jesse and
Delilah, aged 17, as collaborators.

Combs' legal team has continued to deny all

of the accusations made
against the rapper, calling

him an innocent man with nothing to hide.

We are disappointed
with the decision to pursue

what we believe is an unjust prosecution of

Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office,

his attorney told The Independent via
email following his September arrest.

His attorneys have
since filed a petition to

have the alleged victims
in his lawsuits identified

so that they can prepare their defense.

They also recently filed a motion to gag

the alleged victims, arguing
that their statements could

prejudice a potential jury against Combs.

On Monday, September
16th, Combs was arrested by

federal agents on a sealed indictment.

Combs' attorney, Mark
Agnifilo, said his client is

innocent and will clear his name.

He is an imperfect
person, but is not a criminal.

To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing

but cooperative with this
investigation, and he voluntarily

relocated to New York
last week in anticipation

of these charges, he
said in a written statement.

Please reserve your judgment
until you have all the facts.

These are the acts of an innocent man

with nothing to hide, and he looks forward

to clearing his name
in court, Agnifilo said.

Unlike when previous pop
culture figures have been

accused of heinous
crimes, there has been an

ominous silence from the
usually more vocal celebrities.

It appears that many of them are trying

their best to distance
themselves from Diddy, despite

having been associated
with him in the past.

Much like the names
mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's

black book and court
files, being pictured at

a Diddy party doesn't
mean these celebrities were

involved in any wrongdoing.

However, it's certainly
not a good look, which

explains why many have
remained silent regarding the

billionaire's charges, with
some accused of deleting their

social media posts mentioning
his name since his arrest.

Some have argued that Diddy is being
used as the fall guy, the one who will

take all the scrutiny
whilst the others involved

get to continue on with their
lives once the dust has settled.

Who else knew about what was going on?

Was Diddy really the man calling all the

shots or were there others involved?

Mr. Combs has been held at the Metropolitan

Detention Center in Brooklyn, New
York since his 16th of September arrest.

His lawyers have argued
for his release pending

trial, citing the jail's
horrific conditions.

A New York federal
judge denied their request

for bail, arguing that Mr. Combs
was a serious flight risk.

On Wednesday, the 9th
of October, his lawyers

petitioned the court to throw out the CNN

video from 2016, which
shows Mr. Combs kicking

his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura,
as she lay on a hotel hallway floor.

They argued that the
government was responsible for

leaking the video to CNN and that it

has led to damaging, highly
prejudicial pretrial publicity

that can only taint the jury pool and
deprive Mr. Combs of his right to a

fair trial.

Lawyers for the government
deny leaking the video

to the media, saying
that the government did

not have possession of it
before it was broadcast in May.

Mr. Combs faces up to life in prison

if convicted on the racketeering charge.

He faces another statutory
minimum of 15 years

for the sex trafficking charge.

Diddy's fall from grace
has been swift, with

an extensive federal
criminal case charging him in

a sex trafficking and
racketeering conspiracy.

More than a dozen civil lawsuits have also

been filed, accusing the
music mogul of assaults,

rape, and sexual extortion.

One lawyer said he represents more than 100

alleged victims who claim
they were sexually abused.

Only time will tell how this will all
pan out for the hip-hop legend, but

one thing's for certain.

All lies will be exposed, and what's done

in the dark always comes to light.
