Show Notes
Sean “Diddy” Combs' meteoric rise to fame also brought a huge weight of controversies. As his past alleged indiscretions began to catch up with him, multiple former employees began detailing his alleged abusive behaviour. But the most explosive allegations came from his long-time partner, Cassie Ventura who, in 2023, filed a federal lawsuit alleging Diddy raped and abused her for years.
The truly shocking and violent video that emerged not only rocked the world - it spelled the beginning of the end of Combs’ multi-million dollar empire.
In the second episode this special series of The Trial, DailyMail.com’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez covers Combs’ explosive rise through the music industry, the East Coast vs West Coast tensions that led to the tragic deaths of Biggie and Tupac, Diddy’s extravagant White Parties and more, never losing focus on the individual at the heart of it all whose seemingly impenetrable protective bubble was about to be cracked, revealing the Bad Boy for who, some say, he really is.
