Secret Life Of Diddy (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Give it up for p. Diddy!

My resume basically speaks

for itself.

I produced the greatest rap of

all time.

You know, ive just begun.

I tell people this all the time

and they look at me.

How can you say youve jusbegun?

And I just know in my heart,

ive just begun.

Ive just started.

Ive just started getting to the

point where im just starting to

get good.

Ive just started getting to the

point where im becoming a

better man and im -- im jusstarting to understand a little

bit, just a little bit what life

is about.

Everybody off the runway

please.

If you could describe diddy

in one word, what would it be?

Sean combs!

Hey, diddy!

Relentless.

Powerful.

Hustler.

Problematic.

When I look back on, not even

just hip-hop, not even just r&b,

but american music, american pop

culture, its impossible to tell

that story withousean diddy combs.

This is a guy who was dating

j.lo.

Fashion, alcohol, tv shows,

political campaigns, vote or

die.

This is one of the most famous

people in america over the lashalf century.

Diddy finally has the key to

the city!

Sean combs was bigger than

big.

He was beloved in some circles,

revered in others.

One of the most powerful men in

the music industry and then

suddenly, it was over.

Federal agents were seen

raiding p. Diddys los angeles

and miami homes.

Federal investigators raiding

two homes owned by hip-hop mogul

sean diddy combs.

Sources telling abc news iis connected to a human

trafficking investigation.

When diddys home was raided,

they found ar-15-style r*fles,

narcotics, and 1,000 bottles of

baby oil.

It seems like diddy did lead

a secret life.

The guy that in the limelight,

then there are all of the people

being flown in to spice things

up to satisfy his sexual

desires.

The raid by federal agents

with homeland security

investigations spilled the

criminal investigation into

public view.

And we now know the results of

that investigation.

The indictment alleges thacombs abused and exploited women

and other people for years and

in a variety of ways.

As alleged, combs used force,

threats of force, and coercion

to cause victims to engage in

extended sexual performances

with male commercial sex

workers.

This is different than the

sex, drugs, and rock and roll

folklore that I think a lot of

us are very familiar with.

This sounds like a sex crime.

Combs allegedly planned and

controlled the sex performances,

which he called "freak offs."

"Freak off."

"Freak off."

"Freak off."

What is that?

Him having sex workers or

whoever come in and have sex

with his partner, whoever it is,

while he watches or

participates.

Prosecutors have said thathese were elaborately produced

events.

Bringing lighting in, cameras,

linens.

Prosecutors said he would

masturbate during these "freak

offs," and women had no choice.

These "freak offs" would lasfor so long that they would

sometimes have to recover with

iv drips, that the bed needed to

be swapped in, that hotel rooms

were damaged, and that there was

a preparation, but also a

cleanup afterwards to try to

hide the evidence of these

allegedly ill*gal "freak offs."

According to prosecutors,

this has been going on for a

really long time.

And the reason why they say thahes been able to get away with

doing this for so long is thahe essentially has been

blackmailing people into being

silent.

He believes hes innocent.

I believe hes innocent.

And were going to fight this

case with all of our might until

we dont have to fight any

longer.

We know sean combs as a

rapper and producer of some of

the biggest artists.

But now were gonna see the

good, the bad, and the ugly of

this diddy sphere.

Its been a gift and a curse,

my success, but, you know, my

musical career has probably been

one of the most successful

musical careers of a hip-hop

artist, producer in history,

and thats something I take

pride in.

Sean combs is a hustler.

Puff becomes an intern auptown records, right, where he

starts to get mentored by

andre harrell, one of the grearecord men of his time.

Mr. Andre harrell, this is my

mentor right here, put me on

everything.

He moves from intern to a&r

man, and the first huge star he

makes is mary j. Blige.

There were stories that he was

very imperious to other people,

but he was practically andres

son, and he was the big dog.

And so hes not really being

called on the carpet for these

things.

Again, his talent and power and

success protect him from

accountability.

And andre says to him, you know,

there can only be one lion in

the jungle, and he fires him.

But he let him take two rappers

that andre didnt know what to

do with -- craig mack and

biggie smalls.

He gets fired and within a

few weeks he creates bad boy

records.

By 1994 everyone knew who

diddy was.

He produced some of the

biggest artists in the world.

Biggie --

we gonna do what we came to

do

forget the club

well go to the crib

-- mary j. Blige.

When you think youre in love

you only see what you want to

see

all I see is you and you for

me

I mean, this is a person

whos created some of the mosamazing music in our culture.

It was this midas touch

thing, like everything they were

putting out was hot.

You know this is a big time

for me.

Number one album in the united

states, debuting number one.

So many of their songs really

exploded.

"More money, more problems."

The more money we come

across

I dont know what they wanfrom me.

Yes, performing tonight, me and

mate.

Were doing "the benjamins," and

"more money, more problems."

Its all about the benjamins.

Wanna be ballers, shot callers,

brawlers.

Diddy was kind of known for

producing these really big

classic iconic songs, like

"cant nobody hold me down."

Cant nobody take my pride

cant nobody hold me down

oh no

I got to keep on moving

I remember multiple nights of

being in a club, theyre playing

a string of bad boy records.

You get in a cab to go to

another club, the radio is

playing bad boy records in the

cab.

You get in the next club, and

theyre playing bad boy as soon

as you walk in.

And it was just everywhere.

He was very successful in a

lot of the things that he did,

which made him this

larger-than-life american

celebrity for much of his life

and much of his career.

Around 2000 the music

business starts to crater.

Revenue is shrinking rapidly.

And puff was able to say, okay,

I have this brand thats aboulifestyle, thats aboupartying, thats about success.

How can I translate the brand

into other things?

I think diddy is one of the

best strategists when it comes

to marketing.

So you go from bad boy to sean

john, sean john to diageo deal

with ciroc.

So youre scaling and youre

diversifying your portfolio.

Were about to do it.

I love my friends and I love you

all.

Lets go.

He was a celebrity magnet.

Everybody wanted to be next to

somebody who made everything

hot.

I was going to make the

clothes that you would gedressed in, the fragrance you

would put on, to go to the club

and listen to the music that I

produced.

Whatever is in the realm of

entertainment or lifestyle, a

curator of cool, you know,

thats what I do.

Heres my music, heres my

drink, heres my clothes.

You can be like me.

And so he is sort of selling

himself and the puff lifestyle

to the audience.

I love a party, period.

Whether its oscar party,

whether its my mans house

party from around the way.

I just like people coming

together and having a good time.

Diddy is very in to being

famous.

At one point he had a camera

crew following him around at all

times.

I got some cameras and stuff

coming here, man.

In an era when mtv is

shifting from video, video to

shows, hes like, okay, I can

provide you with reality shows.

And the first one is with him as

mogul, "making the band."

Welcome back, its your boy

diddy.

Were back with a new season,

"making the band."

Wow!

He is a guy that is always

loved the limelight, hes loved

being famous, hes loved being a

celebrity.

Sean had some pretty

high-profile relationships,

a long relationship with model

kim porter.

A huge, big paparazzi-covered

relationship with

jennifer lopez.

It really helped establish

him as this national figure, and

really sort of confirmed like,

oh, like, he really is that guy.

Like, hes got all the money,

and hes got all the business

success.

And hes also got this amazing

woman whos like, yeah, im

rocking with him.

Like, oh, well, damn, he must be

really that guy.

They make this music video

together, "been around the

world," sexy, successful.

Theres a great moment when

puff is dancing in a video with

j.lo.

Here hes doing the tango.

He looks really good doing the

tango with j.lo.

He knew how to do these things

im hanging with j-lo or making

a movie with russell brand, or

im going to the met gala, or

im in -- im in vogue in paris

with naomi campbell wearing some

opulent thing.

And it was always like, this guy

is about success.

Hes about wealth, hes abouopulence.

He says he represents taste.

You know, hes about the art of

celebration and partying.

They cant stop a kid.

They know my profession.

But hes also about himself

and about promoting himself.

You know what I mean?

Hes the biggest star bad boy

ever had.

He thrives off adulation.

He thrives off love.

He thrives off the public seeing

him as, like, this flashy

playboy type of character.

Thats gone.

Thats gone forever.

And for sean combs, for diddy, I

think thats the worst thing for

him, because he can never be

who he once was ever again.

A lot of you have grown to

know me as the king of

celebration, a master in the arand celebration, doing the many

luxurious parties from all

around the world.

Simply put, I enjoy seeing

pe

another woman has come

forward accusing sean p. Diddy

combs of sexual as*ault.

This is the fifth lawsuiagainst diddy.

120 Alleged victims, men and

women, whose allegations span

more than 30 years.

The more the stories come ouit doesnt sound like he was

changed by the music industry.

It sounds like he was empowered

by it, you know?

He decided bad boy for life.

He decided.

Thats a choice.

We sat down with tiffany red,

a grammy award-winning producer.

She was one of the first people

who had access to that world,

who spoke publicly.

And for a period of time, she

was out there by herself.

Shes played the game at the

highest level.

She worked with zendaya on her

hit "replay."

Yeah

wanna put this

song on replay

I can listen

to it all day

in this cut-throat music

industry she was good friends

with cassie ventura.

Cassie is sweet.

Shes quiet.

Shes kind.

Shes a good person.

Cassie came onto the scene

in 2006 with her self-titled

debut album and then her hisingle "me & u."

They know youre the one

I wanna give it to

I can see you want me too

now its me and you

so cassie is a singer who was

introduced to the world by

diddy.

And cassie had one of the mosdisastrous performances weve

seen on live television on

"106 and park."

Youve been waiting

so long

im here to answer

your call

it didnt go well.

You know, people had a lot to

say about the performance.

Diddy, you know, spoke up abouit.

He defended her.

Granted, she had a whack

show.

But she also got the hottessong in the clubs and she ainnever going to give up because

she down with bad boy.

Not too long after that we

find out that diddy and cassie

are in a romantic relationship.

They met in 2005 when she

was 19.

And hes, like, 37 and hes

running the record label thashes a part of.

He controls whether or not her

album comes out.

Youre signed to diddys

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.

You know, it turned out amazing.

And hes a great guy, great guy.

I started working with cassie

in 2015.

We started working together.

I started writing for her and

then we started hanging out.

They worked together on a

number of projects.

One of their biggest hits,

"dont let go."

You always keep it so cool

baby dont let go

my first, like, interaction

with puff was, he walked up to

me and he was, like, youre the

one writing all these songs

about me?

I was, like, yeah.

He was, like, so shes talking

to you, huh?

And then he just looked at me,

and then he walked away.

What was the message he was

sending, do you think?

I mean, I felt intimidated.

You know?, I definitely fellike it was like, it felt like

he didnt want her to be talking

to me.

You look at her debut in

2006 and then, you know, her

music career after that, you

know, nothing that she did

really hit the same marks as

they do in 2006.

We began to see her more in the

public as diddys girlfriend and

less as the artist, cassie.

So im wondering about the

boyfriend, diddy, whether he

came to the set to make sure

everything was copacetic with

you.

No, he actually really

trusted the situation.

Him and terrence spoke

beforehand because terrance --

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You date p. Diddy?

Oh, wow.

I didnt know this.

There were always rumors

about diddy and his

relationships with women.

You know, they ranged from

inappropriate behavior from

flashes of -- of rage and

yelling at people and physical

abuse.

There was -- there was this

one night, 2015 I believe, we

went out, took the car, went to

mcdonalds to go get some food.

And I remember her being like,

you want to see something crazy?

I was, like, what?

And she answered the phone.

And as soon as she answered,

he was so upset that she was

out.

He was just like -- I remember

him screaming and saying, is

somebody in the car with you?

I know someones in the car with

you.

So that was, like, my first time

being, like, something is wrong,

you know.

I have heard over the years

that diddy was violent with

cassie.

There would be an interview with

a former bodyguard or someone

who said that he, you know, had

a history of violence with

cassie and also with kim porter,

the late mother of four of his

children.

Tiffany talked in greadetail about one particular

night in 2015, cassies 29th

birthday.

So I walk out the room, and

right behind the door theres --

his security is around him.

They have her in the corner and

hes in her face and hes

cussing her out.

He was really mad.

He was really close to her face,

and she just had her head down.

And when I was, like, standing

over to the side, she just was

kind of, like, looking up at me.

My sense was that everybody

around him was afraid of him.

Why?

I mean, because hes

expl*sive.

Why didnt her friends, why

didnt her circle step up and

say, yo, man?

What you going to do?

He got the key to the city.

Hes friends with the

politicians.

Hes friends with this person.

You know what im saying?

Its like, whos gonna

challenge that?

Whos going to challenge thaand win and be believed?

Yeah, right.

She was working on an album

for ten years.

It never had a release date and

it never had a title.

This was never intended to come

out.

This was a pacifier just to keep

her happy in between what we do

at night.

Why didnt the album come

out?

Because he was using the

music to control cassie.

Because it was never -- at leasfrom what it seems like it was

never going to come out.

It was never supposed to come

out.

He was was kind of playing

her.

Im going to put the record

out.

Im going to put the record out.

I got you.

And the only -- she told me

the only time he was willing to,

like, really talk about the

plans for her music was during

the "freak offs."

We heard about their

relationship, we heard the

rumors, issues in regards to

infidelity.

Every time we would question it,

they would pop back up together

at some event until 2018 when

they called it quits.

Five years after cassie and

diddy broke up, cassie files

this bombshell lawsuit, and iwas a huge deal.

You know, nobody stood up to

diddy.

You would hear things about him,

people would say things abouhim, but seeing, you know, a

woman who was so close to him

relive these terrible and

traumatizing, you know, moments

and file this lawsuit, it was

shocking.

Some of the things that sean

made cassie do according to her

lawsuit, is have sex with male

sex workers when she didnt wanto do that.

He would direct her how to touch

the sex worker, how to pour

like, oil over her body, and he

would watch these things happen

while he was masturbating.

In cassies lawsuit it said

that diddy supplied her and sex

workers with drugs before

and during these "freak offs."

You ever personally witness

cassie under any influence.

The night of the party was a

"freak off."

He was saying, tell your girl

she wants some birthday

.

That was a "freak off."

Thats where he was taking her

when he was cussing her out, and

she didnt want to go.

Cassies lawsuit settled

within 24 hours.

We know that she was asking for

$30 million, but the actual

amount was undisclosed.

At the time, combs denied all

wrongdoing and made clear he

said settling was not an

admission of guilt.

And because of the misogyny

that exists in hip-hop culture,

I do not feel like at that time

people were going to completely

write diddy off.

I do not feel like until the cnn

video was leaked, that was when

everything changed for diddy.

Diddys flying through the

hallway of this hotel and hes

so brutal and cassie is so small

and just appears to be so

broken, you know, like, theres

a point where she just stays on

the ground.

When I saw the video and I

saw her trying to pick up her

little bag and then be dragged,

I just felt like I knew what she

was feeling, just wanting to geout of there.

It just broke my heart.

That hotel footage showed us

that theres a monster within.

Because that video happened, and

everyone watched that video, ichanged everything for a lot of

people, I think.

Theres this massive public

outcry once that videotape is

released.

Two days later, sean combs makes

a statement.

I was up.

I mean, I hit rock bottom.

I make no excuses.

My behavior on that video is

inexcusable.

I take full responsibility for

my actions in that video.

Apology video, whatd you

think of that?

You know, I thought it was

for him.

I mean, I think -- I think

that -- all of it was he was

talking about himself and how he

felt.

This is the hardest time.

These are the darkest times in

my life.

And its like, its all abouhim, him, him, him, him, him,

him.

When you read or heard aboucassies lawsuit, it was

horrendous and horrific, and

disgusting, and grotesque, buits words.

And its horrifying, but its

words.

When you see a video of him

assaulting her, kicked her when

shes on the ground, posing no

threat to him.

It was -- it was heartbreaking

and it was the immediate

destruction of any smidge of

image, legacy, reputation thayou might have.

His credibility is out the

window, especially after thaapology where we now know hes

capable of lying.

And now the question becomes,

what else is sean combs lying

about?

Puff always wanted to be

driving culture, not just in it,

but like shaping it and creating

it.

And theres a point in time when

the guys around him were like,

hey, whats cool is the

hamptons.

Well, an all-white party where

we have to wear white definitely

fits the beachy vibe of the

hamptons.

He was one of the people who

invented hip-hop party culture.

I take pride on being a

leader.

You get out of life what you puinto it so I try to give my all.

So diddys white parties were

very famous.

Anyone who you can think of

whos a celebrity has attended a

diddy white party.

And theres these victoria

secret models wearing like

little halos and angel wings and

handing you champagne.

Theyre, like, welcome to

heaven.

They were said to be wild,

right?

Everyone wants to be at your

party.

That confirms a certain amounof power upon you.

This is the legendary white

party.

Its the real white party and to

all the kids, the kids have

like, have an hour left.

This thing turns into something

that when yall get older youre

gonna wanna come to, okay.

Now, diddy after dark is a

different party.

We knew that there was an

after, after party and we heard

that, you know, those were much

more debauched.

I think the, more wild racy

stuff, I mean, that was like a

very rarefied sort of thing.

That wasnt just, everybody

come, were doing eyes wide shutonight.

You need some water.

Diddy even went on conan

obrien, knowing what we know

now, and watching that clip,

its like he let us know, bupeople werent listening.

I dont know if you guys have

noticed this, but a lot of

ladies drink water at parties

and, if you dont have what they

need, they leave.

Got to keep them there.

You need locks on the doors.

This is sounding kind of

dangerous now.

Its a little kinky but you

know.

I think one of the noteworthy

things about this pending trial

is that maybe for the first time

well discover who sean combs

really is.

This man was a pillar of

society for a really long time.

He had this really great up from

his bootstraps story.

My brother here, puff daddy.

Diddys life now is a lodifferent than how he grew up.

Being from harlem, you know, he

was raised by his mom janice

with his sister.

Hes created multiple

narratives.

His father was a drug dealer.

He grew up rough and tumble

life.

My father was k*lled when I

was three.

I just remember my mother, you

know, working four jobs.

On the other hand he says I

was a paper boy in westchester

county.

He somehow was able to

consolidate several paper

routes.

So he had these kids delivering

the papers on his routes for

him.

Hes already being

entrepreneurial and capitaliswithin that system.

He was always the boss from a

very young age.

So everybody around him has to

do what he says.

I just want to get paid for

it.

Thats what im saying.

I dont want to be wasting my

time.

Theres a time everybody in

the music business wanted to

work for puff, and it was so

much fun.

It was so cool.

And you had -- so like if he

screamed at you sometimes, well,

its part of the price of

admission.

If so, bump somebody.

Theres a clip that was in

his 2017 documentary, "canstop, wont stop" where, you

know, hes in his office, starts

like, just destroying stuff.

I got my mtv.

Im a savage!

Im a savage!

Im a savage!

Whatever I want I am going to

get!

Whatever I want I have to get!

You know what was inspiring

for me about that video?

Was when puffy said, whats

next?

Whats next?

I got to get it.

Im not going to stay

down.

But for him to say whats

next means im ready for

everything.

A savage in business can be a

profitable energy.

I think that theres a

relentlessness in this person

who is saying, I will do

whatever I have to do to

accomplish the goal.

You couldnt tell him no.

This person was emotionally

volatile.

The rapper and music mogul

arrested for as*ault after a

fight with a football coach ahis sons school.

All charges were later

dropped.

Combs was arrested on assaulcharges for allegedly beating a

music industry executive.

He manages to escape any

significant legal

accountability.

This man was celebrated for

so long in the hip-hop culture,

but I think when powerful people

are not checked, bad things can

happen.

In 1999 puffy was dating

j.lo.

There was an incident in a new

york nightclub in which diddy

and some of his entourage geinto it with some people and

shots are fired.

He went to club new york to

celebrate a new album from

shyne.

Shyne is a rapper from belize

that was signed to bad boy

records.

In club new york something

happened.

Somebody got bumped into.

Several witnesses say that they

saw puff with a g*n.

Puffy, look this way.

Three people got shot in thaincident.

Police say shyne had a g*n.

He was convicted and spent nine

years in prison.

Sean combs, acquitted.

It was one of those moments

that shows, like, wow, this

guy might find himself in bad

situations, but eventually he

always gets out.

It made you believe, and iprobably made diddy believe to

an extent that, like, im pretty

much invincible.

People were very afraid to

come forward with their stories.

Hes always been mired by

allegations and suspicions of

domestic violence and abuse, butheyve always kind of fallen

apart as whispers.

It took a watershed moment,

which was the cassie lawsuit, to

really open that pandoras box.

Cassie describing the music

mogul as a vicious, cruel, and

controlling man.

After cassie filed her

lawsuit, it kind of opened up

the floodgates.

Sean diddy combs faces new

trafficking allegations.

Former model is now suing

diddy.

Trapped in a cycle of sex

trafficking.

One became three, became

five.

A former member of combs,

girl group, danity kane, is

accusing him of sexually abusing

her for years.

Richard is the eighth person

to accuse combs of abuse.

Sean combs attorney has

called dawn richards claims

false and said he looks forward

to proving that in court.

You began to see lawsuiafter lawsuit after lawsuibeing filed.

His producer, rodney jones,

claims diddy repeatedly sexually

assaulted him.

His attorneys also responded

to jones lawsuit saying in parhes looking for an undeserved

payday and that they have

indisputable proof that his

claims are complete lies.

A texas attorney tonight says

he now represents 120 alleged

victims, men and women, whose

allegations span more than

30 years.

The biggest secret in the

entertainment industry thareally wasnt a secret at all

has finally been revealed to the

world.

Weve had over 14,000 people

contact our office in three

weeks, and now we represen293 claims against sean combs or

his associates.

Our youngest victim at the

time of the occurrence was 9

years old.

We have an individual who was 14

years old.

Though this attorney has yeto file lawsuits, hes made

these allegations.

Based on the people thaweve talked to, based on whatheyve told us, it seemed

before 2005, it was men and

women equally that were kind of

sucked in this orbit.

And then after 2005 it almoswent 90% to men.

An attorney for sean combs

said he cant address every,

quote, meritless allegation, buthat he denies any claim that he

sexually abused anyone,

including minors.

We have not heard the last of

someone filing a lawsuit againssean combs.

Theres no way he acted

alone.

The culture of silence was

colossal.

There will be more people

looking for defense attorneys

very soon.

What other names are we going

to start seeing?

Tonight, breaking news in

new york city.

Sean diddy combs arrested in

a new york city hotel by federal

agents with homeland security

investigations after being

indicted by a grand jury.

Hes been under criminal

investigation since his former

girlfriend accused him of sexual

and physical abuse in a civil

case.

According to his lawyer,

sean combs knew that the raids

on his home scared his kids, and

he said he didnt want anything

else to be so scary.

Thats why, his lawyer says, he

decided to relocate to new york

so that everybody would know

where he was to make the arreseasy.

Did you witness anything?

How do you support him moving

forward?

Diddy is the father of seven

children.

He has three adult sons and four

daughters.

His adult sons have been very

publicly supportive and they

showed up, you know, to supporhim at his arraignment.

Hes confident.

Hes dealing with this head

on, just like hes dealt with

every challenge in his life.

Diddy pleaded not guilty, and

he was denied bail twice.

There is no amount of money,

no amount of security measures

that could be put in place thathese judges believe would nomake him a flight risk and nomake him a danger to those

around him.

The first time sean combs

came into court I thought he

looked kind of stunned, almost.

This is a whole new reality thahes facing.

And in that moment he may well

have understood the gravity of

the charges.

Sean combs is facing a three

count indictment -- racketeering

conspiracy, sex trafficking, and

transportation for the purpose

of prostitution.

It puts combs as the leader

of what prosecutors called this

criminal enterprise to subjecwomen to a pattern of physical

and sexual abuse.

When it comes to the three

counts that sean combs is

facing, the racketeering

conspiracy charge is the top

charge.

And within it are a number of

crimes.

There is kidnapping, forced

labor bribing of witnesses.

Prosecutors became concerned

that sean combs was going to

obstruct the federal

investigation, which is ongoing,

and tamper with witnesses.

In sean combs appeal for his

bail judge carter said thaobstruction of justice is a real

concern for him.

And, in saying that, hes

looking at the evidence or the

alleged evidence that the

prosecution is providing, thaafter cassies civil lawsuit,

after even the raid, sean combs

began communicating and reaching

out to people within his circle,

women that are alleged victims,

trying to ensure that theyre

not going to come forward with

any allegations against him.

Thank you, guys.

Thank you very much.

If combs is convicted as

charged, he could be facing

decades in prison.

The closest analogy would be the

sex charges against r. Kelly.

Late today, a federal jury

found r. Kelly guilty of

racketeering and sex

trafficking.

Prosecutors accusing him of

leading a criminal enterprise of

bodyguards, managers and other

employees to recruit and abuse

women, underage girls and a

teenage boy.

When I first heard about the

sean combs allegations, I wasnsurprised.

Nothing really surprises me

these days.

Liz

lizzett martinez met holmes

in the early 90s.

The only time that I met sean

combs was in the late 90s at a

music conference that was going

on in miami.

And -- hes, like, hey, you have

the most -- you have really

pretty eyes, like, started to

compliment me.

And I just looked at my friend.

I was just, like, ive been down

this road before kind of thing.

I didnt have a good feeling

about it.

I cannot unsee that cassie

video.

You can tell me everything you

want about that video.

I could not unsee it.

You put yourself on the line.

There have been several

reckoning moments in the world

of hollywood and the music

world.

Myself and other women shared

stories of the various ways we

were approached.

We talked about the misogyny in

the industry.

The way women are talked

about in the hip-hop industry,

its so vial.le.

Its so hateful.

As though women are things to be

used and consumed.

And thats not to say that there

isnt predatory behavior going

on in rock and country and any

other genre of music, but like,

hip-hop is just open about its

hatred for women in ways thaother genres of music are not.

Every time, which is sad thathere is an every time, but when

something like this happens, you

hope that there is some kind of

reckoning, but there is so much

ingrained in this culture thaits really hard to tell.

So, the hope is that thachanges, but will it?

The bigger they rise, the

harder they fall.

From the fancy jets, the fancy

jewelry, the luxurious

lifestyle, sean combs is tonighin one of the

take some money man

appreciate you.

Sean combs led the life thamany of us would only dream of.

Its a celebration of life.

This is the real life.

The way he dressed, the way

he traveled, the way he partied,

his presence on social media.

Few could compare.

The multi-million dollar

homes, the private jets, flying

from here to there.

But now hell be housed in the

metropolitan detention center.

It has had a rather notable

roster of inmates.

R. Kelly was there for a time

before he stood trial in

brooklyn.

Ghislaine maxwell.

El chapo spent time there.

When people talk about mdc,

they use words like infamous,

corrupt, violent.

Its dangerous.

There are constant fights and

lockdowns.

Its going to be a very, very

different lifestyle change for

him.

In this industry where people

love the talk, no one talked

about this part of sean combs

life, but now everyone has an

opinion.

People are talking.

Charlamagne tha god on radio has

had plenty to say.

Being in that cell is

probably the first time in

forever hes forced to sistill.

Reality is going to hit him

hard.

Whatever hes been running from,

he cannot run no more.

He was known to have the

midas touch, and now his touch

is anything but golden.

Its allegedly criminal.

Im going to scream from the

rooftops.

Its not just him.

Its a systemic problem.

Im gonna continue to advocate

and do something to really

change this.

Sean combs was not made in a

vacuum.

People are really overly

impressed by men.

We do not hold men to rigorous

standards of behavior,

particularly famous men, right?

We dont take into consideration

their relationships to women

when were judging their

character.

Nobody really knows, like,

where this is going to lead.

Celebrities were at these

parties.

People could be caught in thanet.

And I think that also, you know,

plays into the fact of why you

havent heard people speak on

diddy and speak on a lot of

these allegations.

Weve received accusations

against very well-known

celebrities that allegedly

participated in these after

parties that were either in the

room, maybe witnessing these

sexual assaults taking place or

even participating in them.

How does the story end for

him?

How it turns out, like, once

all things are said and done,

I cant imagine somebody thats

lived a life that lavish, like,

facing the music and, like,

going to jail.

But I think thats where its

going to end though.

Too much has happened.

Too much has happened.

Im extremely proud of the

women and men.

Im not going to sit here and

say, you know, the trials going

to be easy.

Its not.

However, we did it and you have

a whole survivor army behind

you.

No matter how powerful these

people portray themselves to be,

so are you.

I think one can make the

argument that hip-hop is on

trial, but I think weve seen

with the fall of other

high-profile celebrities thaentertainment is on trial.

Power is on trial.

Somehow, when power is in the

hands of too few people, too

often they abuse it.

You cant look away anymore.
