At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs, he had it all. It seemed like everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now the once untouchable hip hop mogul is fighting for his life as he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise. Music mogul and rapper Sean Diddy Combs has faced four different lawsuits in recent weeks alleging sexual can be seen grabbing Ventura and throwing her to the ground. Oh, this guy is dangerous. Every woman has now come forward alleging.

I'm DailyMail.com journalist Marjorie Hernandez and over the last six months I've been investigating this incredible story and speaking to the people in the eye of the storm. Welcome to the trial of Diddy. Sean Combs managed to live a charmed life for years protected by his star power. But his past alleged indiscretions from his notorious temper directed towards employees and paparazzi to dodging criminal charges stemming from a club shooting incident would come back to haunt him. By 2006, Combs had rebranded three times from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to Diddy. But the luster of Bad Boy as a platinum record hit making machine was long gone. The label still had bankable acts like Machine Gun Kelly, Franche Montana and Janelle Monae. But it was no longer the money making juggernaut it had been in the early aughts, says author and journalist Garrett Kennedy.

If we're being honest, I think the end of Bad Boy happened quite some time ago. But in terms of him as a cultural icon, that to me is beginning of end. I think with Puff, for the most part we were able to not think of these things because then there was no more trouble until it was like things like the photographer and these sorts of things where I think people do have this, we are sort of like soft spot for celebrity stuff and like celebrity bad behavior in a particular category. So that's what I find the most fascinating. But when you, when you lay it out like that and you, you establish a clear pattern of someone who doesn't make the right choices all the time, someone who's put people in harm, you know all these things. When we see a moment like this where there is now really serious consequence on the line. You do have to sit with the fact of, well, how complicit were we all?

Diddy's former fashion label Sean John also took a tumble in 2016. Combs sold 90% of the company shares to Global Brands group, but by 2021, the clothing label was in danger of going bankrupt. Diddy initially wanted to buy back Sean John to save it from bankruptcy, but instead he filed a $60 million lawsuit against Global Brands for allegedly misusing his name and image for marketing purposes. Despite these hurdles, he was still riding high on his popularity in June 2022, when he received a lifetime achievement award from BET. At the ceremony, he performed a selection of his hits. During his acceptance speech, he paid tribute to Biggie, his mentor Andre Harrell and former girlfriend Kim Porter, who had since passed away. He also thanked his ex girlfriend and former Bad Boy artist Cassie Ventura.

Cassie Ventura
I'm going keep it 100 with y' all. I was in a dark place for.

Garrett Kennedy
A few years, you know what I'm saying? And I have to give a special thank out, thank you, shout out, thank.

Cassie Ventura
You, all that love.

Garrett Kennedy
I gotta give a special thank you.

Cassie Ventura
To the people that was really like this. Also Cassie, for holding me down in the dark times, love.

But those dark times Combs mentioned in his speech were among the bleakest for Cassie. In November 16, 2023, the songstress filed a damning lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, claiming Combs not only stalled her career, but brutally beat and sexually abused her for over a decade. Diddy allegedly forced her to use various drugs and have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and recorded, according to the truly shocking complaint. He called these dark sexual encounters freak offs. The former couple finally split in 2018. In the 2023 suit, Cassie claimed all aspects of her life were controlled by either Mr. Combs or his management companies. She claimed Diddy had complete control of her life, paid for her apartment and living expenses. This also meant he had access to all of her medical records. Cassie said she finally tried to break up with Diddy and severed ties with Bad Boy one night in September 2018. But later that day, she said Combs forced himself into her apartment and raped her in her lawsuit, Cassie's attorney wrote. Soon thereafter, Ms. Ventura took steps to completely separate herself from her longtime abuser, including by leaving the home that he paid for and returning the car he purchased. Combs became extremely intoxicated and punched her in the face, giving her a black eye, which prompted her to try to leave the hotel room the lawsuit also accused Combs of rape in 2018. Combs has faced at least five civil lawsuits since November, ranging from sexual misconduct to sex trafficking. In December, Combs posted on Instagram, let me be absolutely clear, I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. Diddy vehemently denied Cassie's claims. His attorney, Benjamin Brafman, called the allegations offensive and outrageous. He added, for the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura's persistent demand of $30 million under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail. Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Winter has now resorted resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs reputation and seeking a payday. However, just one day after Cassie went public with the lawsuit, Diddy settled the case for an undisclosed amount. About six months later, CNN aired damning surveillance footage from a Los Angeles hotel that showed a man, manic and violent, Combs repeatedly kicking and dragging Cassie by the hair as she tried to escape into an elevator. Cassie Ventura breaking her silence for the first time since CNN uncovered this disturbing video showing music mogul Sean Diddy Combs violently throwing her to the ground, then kicking and dragging her. The surveillance video from 2016 also shows combs throwing a vase at then girlfriend Ventura in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel, the security camera footage seeming to corroborate part of Ventura's 2023 lawsuit against Diddy, alleging he punched Ms. Ventura, giving her a black eye, then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her. Soon, other lawsuits against Diddy followed, including one from a woman named Joy Dickerson Neal and another from a woman who filed her suit under Jane Doe. In her suit filed in California, Dickerson Neal claimed Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1991. A psychology student at Syracuse University, when she met Combs, she had dreams of breaking into the music industry. Dickerson Neal said Combs kept pressuring her for a date and had slipped something into her drink before taking her into her apartment. She claims that he raped her and filmed it and later showed the footage to others. One of those who saw the tape was Devontae Swing, who was a member of the RB group Jodeci. In the suit, Dickerson Neal said she was traumatized by the abuse. The video footage of her rape haunted her so much that she quit school and abandoned her dreams to pursue a career in music. Pam Lewis Rudden, who worked with Combs at the time and knew. Dickerson Neill told me she was not surprised when she found out about the allegations. Lewis Redden, now a music licensing specialist, said she employed Dickerson Neal after she stopped working for Diddy and Uptown Records in the early 1990s and had started her own company.

Pam Lewis Rudden
I was surprised that it was somebody that I knew, not surprised at what had happened. And I didn't question whether she was telling the truth or not, because I knew she was. Just like I knew about Cassie, just like I knew about Drew, just like I knew about, you know, the other women who have been attacked, some of my friends who've been assaulted by Bill Cosby. You know, it's like, you're not gonna upend your life to go through the stuff that these women have gone through over the course of time because you want, you know, $100,000. Even if you wanted a million, it's not. It's, you know, why would anybody want to do that to themselves? And for the legal system to always make it that it's the woman's fault.

Cassie's case, in a shocking video, opened the floodgates. More alleged victims filed lawsuits against Diddy, who initially denied Cassie's allegations. Once the video came out, Diddy was forced to address the mounting criticism against him.
- [11:04]
Cassie Ventura
I was up. I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I made no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.

One bombshell lawsuit after another soon followed, including one filed in California by music producer Rodney Lil Rod Jones, who claimed Diddy would grope him and ordered him to recruit prostitutes for his freak off sessions. Lil Rod produced some of the songs in Diddy's last project, called the love album off the Grid, which was nominated for a Grammy after it was released in September 2023. Lil Rod suit provided bombshell allegations, including claims that while he worked on the album for more than a year, he was subjected to unauthorized groping and touching of his anus. He also claimed some of the abuse happened on Diddy's rented yacht in the US Virgin Islands. Ordered to seek out sex workers in Miami, Lil Rod also claimed underage girls were present at the freak off parties and that he saw Diddy spike the girls drinks with drugs. The $30 million lawsuit also names some of the music industry's biggest players, including former chief executive officer of Motown Records, Ethiopia Habitamarium, who he claimed dismissed groping as friendly horseplay and his way of showing that he likes you. Lil Rad suit also names Combs son Justin his former chief of staff Christina Karam and Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grange as defendants. He said Karam groomed him for Diddy and called her the rapper's own Ghislaine Maxwell. He also blamed Universal Music Group and Grange since they allegedly failed to adequately monitor, warn or supervise Combs and his inner circle. In another lawsuit, a woman named April Lamprose claimed Diddy assaulted her in New York city in the 1990s and early 2000s. Lamprose said one of the alleged assaults occurred when Diddy was involved in a very public relationship with Jennifer Lopez. She said she met the bad boy mogul while she was attending the Fashion Institute of Technology. Diddy allegedly told her he would be her mentor, she added. During a meeting at a bar in 1995, Diddy got her very intoxicated and took her back to the Millennium Hotel. She said she was conscious but couldn't stop him from sexually assaulting her. The next day she woke up nude, sore and confused, she said. In a lawsuit, the model provided show shocking intimate details and said Combs's penis was adolescently in both length and width and he was circumcised. Lampros also alleged during a 1996 incident that Diddy told her to go to his Manhattan apartment. She claimed Combs's ex, Kim Porter, was also there and he told both of them to take the drug Ecstasy, forcing the pills down their throats to ensure they were swallowed. He then demanded Lamprose and Porter to have sex. When she tried to refuse, Diddy reminded her that he could make her lose her job. While the women had sex, Lamprose claimed Diddy sat close by masturbating for some time before pushing Kim Porter off Lampros and raping her. Like other victims, Lampros also alleged that he recorded them having sexual sex without her knowledge. Another woman, Crystal McKinney, also filed a lawsuit against Combs and claimed she was 22 when she met the rapper at a Fashion Week event at the Cipriani restaurant in New York City. In the newly filed lawsuit, the former.

And when she saw the new evidence.

Of alleged abuse against Combs, she says she felt a moral obligation to come forward.

She said Diddy took her back to his studio where there was a group drinking Hennessy and smoking weed. She claimed when she took a hit from the joint, she immediately felt like she was floating and thought the marijuana was laced with another, more powerful drug. McKinney said Diddy forced her to perform oral sex on him in the bathroom room and told her to suck it. According to her lawsuit. She tried to refuse him, but Diddy allegedly pushed her head down his crotch. Afterward, she felt so dizzy that she lost consciousness. She claimed the next thing she remembered was waking up in a taxi. The mounting sexual assault allegations against combs resurrected a 20 a 2019 interview conducted by YouTuber Tasha K with one of Diddy's former girlfriends, Gina Virginia V. Hyun. In the interview, Gina claimed the rapper stomped on her stomach and punched her in the head repeatedly during their five year relationship. Some of the details of alleged physical and emotional abuse revealed by Gina were eerily seen, similar to claims made by Cassie in her lawsuit.

Gina Virginia V. Hyun
It got really crazy that time we was upstairs and he, he had like. We were in his closet and he like pushed me and I fell to the ground and. And then he got, he like stood over me so I was like laying on my back and he stood over me and, and he started like punching me like this. Like he avoided my face, but he like started punching me like on the side of my head and I was just like covering my face. And he did that. He did that. And then, and then after he got done doing that, he like, because he was standing, his legs were like in between me. So he like, he like stomped on my stomach like really hard. And I like took the wind out of my breath. I couldn't even, I couldn't breathe. And he kept, but he kept hitting me. And I was like pleading to him like, can you just, can you stop? I can't breathe.

Combs protective bubble finally burst as a barrage of lawsuits began to affect his various businesses. On November 28, 2023, he stepped down as chairman of Revolt TV. A few weeks later, 18 companies confirmed to Rolling Stone magazine that they had severed ties with Diddy's E Commerce platform, empower global. In December 2023, Hulu scrapped a planned reality TV show that would have centered around Diddy and his family. In a statement, alcohol giant Diageo announced they had decided to end their partnership with Diddy. In January, both parties released a joint statement. Mr. Combs has withdrawn all of his.

Allegations about Diageo and will voluntarily dismiss.

Diageo and Mr. Combs have no ongoing business relationship either with respect to Ciroc Vodka or Deleon Tequila, which Diageo now solely owns.

While he was Grammy nominated for his album, Diddy skipped the award show in February and other events leading up to the music industry's biggest night in March. Combs Mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal Homeland Security Investigations agents. The rapper was not in the Holmes when the raids occurred, but his sons King and Justin were detained briefly at their upscale mansion and exclusive neighborhood in Holmly Hills. Video obtained exclusively by Daily Mail showed his Florida home on the celebrity enclave Star island being turned upside down as combs, designer clothes, safes and other belongings were thoroughly searched. The same was done at his LA mansion. Diddy's attorney slammed the Department of Homeland Security for gross overuse of military level force and claimed his sons King and Justin were traumatized after guns were allegedly pointed at them during the LA raid. In June, Howard University's Board of Trustees voted to revoke the honorary degree they awarded at Combs in 2014, saying he is no longer worthy to hold the institution's highest honor. The university also announced they would return the fallen mogul's $1 million contribution and end the $1 million pledge agreement from his foundation. As the business world turned their backs on him and his star power plummeted, Diddy was placed in an unfamiliar territory, says journalist Garrett Kennedy.

Garrett Kennedy
I mean, you know, right now I don't think, I don't believe Puff runs any business that he was ever in charge of. And that alone, just saying that, I mean, I think that's devastating enough for a person who, that is their social currency is being a businessman, being a mogul, being in charge of Sorak and, you know, revolt and all of these things. And so that being gone, I'm sure, you know, him seeing his honorary stuff from Howard be taken away was a really big blow in a moment of like, oh, I am, I am facing consequences. Because here's the other thing too, that I always think is important to know when we're having these kind of conversations is like, you know, I don't really think a lot of people actually really understand how much of a bubble. Like, a lot of famous people, especially like super rich and super powerful, like, live in, like, it is an entire bubble where, like, I don't, I don't think y' all are actually talking about this. And so I think for Puff, like, for some time it was, he was able to just put the statement, like, I'm going to fight this to, these are all false allegations. It's easy to do those sorts of things. And then that video comes out and then we see you, literally, it's you. We can't sit and be like, oh, that's somebody. This is you. And it is the. The actions have been described to a.

But Combs has denied other allegations against him or has simply not commented. Those who worked closely with Combs during the height of Bad Boy said he left a trail of broken promises. Rapper Mark Curry told us even years after leaving Bad Boy, he's still not recovered financially or emotionally. After years of touring and writing hits for Diddy, the promise of his debut album no never materialized, and the publishing rights to the songs he wrote under Bad Boy brought zero money to his own pocket. Diddy and his label owned a lion's share. Disillusioned, Curry said he made the decision to step away from his rap career, return home to Georgia and to make ends meet, become a carpenter. But the ups and downs of his career with Bad Boy and dealing with the the devil, what he often calls Diddy, haunts him to this day. In 2009, Curry wrote a book titled Dancing with the How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip Hop, detailing his tumultuous experiences working under Combs. He said the last time he spoke to Diddy was around September 2023, a month before Cassie would file her bombshell lawsuit. In a move that surprised the music industry, Diddy returned the publishing rights that Bad Boy owed to its original artists, including Curry, rapper Mase Cam' Ron, Faith Evans, the Locks112 and others. While many in the industry applauded Diddy's decision, Curry said he believes the producer already knew the walls were closing in on him when he gave all of.

Cassie Ventura
The artists back they publishing in exchange for the NDA not to talk about him because I think he had some kind of idea that this was coming down the pipeline. Tried to cover up his tracks real quick. It didn't work. It wasn't worth nothing. It's not worth nothing. It's almost like giving you back a Nissan Sentra when it was brand new in 2024. Do with that man. They got smart cars now, battery operated Teslas and stuff after, after the Centra became worthless and it was not even valued in the junkyard.
- [24:55]
Marjorie Hernandez
I mean, how did you feel when it was given back to you?
- [24:59]
Cassie Ventura
I felt like he gave me back a female that I used to love that he abused and raped, took advantage of her, then gave her back to me. I used to love her. You remember Common Sense did a song called Hip Hop? I used to love her. That's how I felt about it. I used to love her. Did he did that?
- [25:21]
Marjorie Hernandez
So it's painful even even though you got it back.
- [25:25]
Cassie Ventura
As soon as I got it back I got rid of it in the same stroke. I don't Want it?
- [25:31]
Marjorie Hernandez
Wow. Why did you decide to get rid of it? Why don't you want it?
- [25:35]
Cassie Ventura
Didn't have no value. What is it worth?
- [25:39]
Marjorie Hernandez
So you sold it back to or sold some.
- [25:43]
Cassie Ventura
I wanted to sell it back to him, but he didn't even want to buy it because he knew it wasn't worth.
- [25:48]
Marjorie Hernandez
So in that. So the last time when you spoke to him was when he did that, he sold back all of the. Or gave back all of the publishing rights. Wow. And what was that conversation like with you? They tell you, like, you can't talk about this, this, and that, or. Or was that kind of like an unsaid thing?
- [26:06]
Cassie Ventura
Can't tell me not to do anything because we had a contract when we first got into business, and it said that you was going to help me further my career. That didn't work. So now any other contract that you have for me, I'm voiding it, too. Since we're going to be disrespectful, we're going to be disrespectful all the way around the table. It just ain't going to be you telling me, listening. So I'll be like, all right, cool.
- [26:34]
Garrett Kennedy
Stop me from doing.
- [26:37]
Cassie Ventura
I never feel sorry for when I hurt you, though. Cause you hurt me couple times. I'm sure you know it. You left me in the rain? I took you back Then you threw.
- [26:47]
Garrett Kennedy
Me to the sea. I can't forget it.

Marjorie Hernandez
Diddy's influence in the world of hip hop, the music, the fashion, the culture, is undeniable. But many wonder how the flood of criminal allegations could impact his legacy. This is author and journalist Garrett Kennedy.
- [27:04]
Garrett Kennedy
I think the idea of a reckoning for Puff is so layered because more than anything else, then there is our own ideas of him. Because so much of his, the lore that follows him, so much of what we think of as Puff, are those things. And so when we have been celebrating a person for as long as we have been thinking these things of this person, what does a reckoning look like? Right? Because ultimately that's us having to say, oh, well, I mean, well, we didn't know. And so, you know, you hear these things immediately when these stories come out. Far before we got to the video that showed him and Cassie together is you had people giving you those stories of, well, I always knew, or there was this, or they point to these artists and they point back to things from 20, 25 years ago. So when we think about reckoning, that's why I think, you know, just as an idea itself, it's Fascinating because ultimately is us sitting with the reality that these people that we have talked about not possibly being good people, then we're not. And so it's like, you know, we have to just make that moment of having a conversation with ourselves, of, okay, so then what do we do with them and what do with our love of them? That's what all of these pop culture reckonings have been with all of these men. It's been us having to sit with the fact that we have celebrated them as much as we have talked about, oh, we heard this, or oh, maybe there's this we should look at.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams even asked city to return the ceremonial key to the city that was presented to the mogul in September 2023. Combs complied 11 days later. Since his homes are rated in LA and Miami. In March, Diddy also had to put up his $70 million Holmly Hills mansion for sale. He shut down his social media for a brief period of time after he posted his apology to Cassie. Gone are the videos of flashy cars, fancy parties and wild nights in clubs and the studio. We spoke to legal analyst and federal defense attorney Lou Shapiro.
- [29:35]
Lou Shapiro
I think he tries to show humility if there's any kind of treatment he can do or self help introspection, because the video itself, like we said, is very damaging. So any steps he can take towards rehabilitation to make sure it doesn't happen again, that would be a great thing, I think, to share with the public and for his own well being and like we discussed about on the legal side, the investigator side, gathering information and that's really all he can do in terms of should he be performing or doing other things like that. It's probably not the best time to do it because I think people's judgment is not very favorable in him right now. I think he needs to get past these court proceedings so people really kind of know where they sit with him.
- [30:22]
Marjorie Hernandez
I mean, can he live a normal life per se? Can he still live that Diddy life that he had before?
- [30:30]
Lou Shapiro
Well, he can't live it professionally because he knows that I think the people usually would support him, don't want to be associated with him. Given what's pending right now. I think those contacts are saying, look, Diddy, we know you, we're with you, but we got to just look out for our own branding right now because we don't want to be tarnished. We don't want to be caught in the crossfire in this. So from a professional level, his hands are tied right now.

For more than three decades, Diddy has been a mainstay in hip hop and pop culture. A trend setting mogul, he controlled the careers of other artists and pushed them to become hitmakers. He parlayed his passion for music and became a global brand himself and sold a rock star lifestyle that many envied and desired. But behind all the success and accolades, a darker side of Diddy also grew as he allegedly took advantage of those who work for him and use his power to sexually abuse and control women and other people in his life. Friends of alleged victims said it is about time Diddy is held accountable. Here's Pam again.
- [31:41]
Pam Lewis Rudden
I'll never understand that because you just have to be a degenerate. You just have to be a horrible, horrible human to be, do stuff like that. I would never in a thousand years think of treating people family or not, but even so, you know, family to treat them that way. Yeah, just a horrible human. But I understand where it came from. I understand why, why, why he did it. You know, in a sense of you're just mimicking what you've, you, you're seeing. Because obviously, you know, when you're in those kind of positions, you have a different perspective and interactions with the decision makers, you know, and if they're saying things and doing things and showing you things, what makes you think, especially if you're 19 or 20, well, I'll just do the same, same thing. And he hasn't stopped. So obviously it was part of him. You know, it's not like he, he woke up one day and say, oh, I'm going to be this horrible human. You know, he, he had it in him, but it was instilled and nurtured.

Marjorie Hernandez
Author Garrett Kennedy says Diddy's influence is everywhere.
- [32:59]
Garrett Kennedy
Puff has his hand on so much, like so much of it, to the point that it's actually dizzying to start to think about how can you untangle yourself from. If you, if you today wanted to say, I don't want to listen to anything that Puff had anything to do with. What are you gonna play? If we're actually being very honest here. When you think about what he did starting at Uptown with Mary, Mary J. Blige and Jodeci and Heavy D, and then you build Bad Boy and you know, you just think from there you have Biggie, you have his work with Little Kim, you have the things he did with Faith Evans and 112 all the way up to Danity Kane, like our last great girl group, right? So the idea of separation, that's going to be tough with Puff because again, when we're talking about all of those things and those tentacles, we're talking about someone who allegedly screwed all those people, right? All those people out of money, out of publishing, out of royalties, all these things, right? So that's already a complication that we have been talking about for as long as I can remember. I mean, even before I started writing about Puff, this was the conversation around Puff. So you have that in one bucket. And then you have his contributions in terms of as a producer, songwriter, which that goes far and wide. That includes Beyonce literally almost every. I don't think you are. I don't think you're a contemporary black artist that has mattered in the last two decades and not work with Puff. I don't think you are a contemporary pop artist that has mattered in the last 25 years. That I cannot trace something to Puff with you. I just don't think it exists. So that is a very different conversation. And I've been asked this a lot, and my answer is always the same. I do not think culturally, we are prepared for that.

In our next episode of the Trial of Diddy, we will discuss Sean Combs arrest in Manhattan and the shocking criminal allegations he faces, which could land him in federal prison for life.

Combs was arrested a week ago. You can now see how that arrest went down. They place Combs under arrest and lead him out the front door in handcuffs.
