Sean "Diddy" Combs is the subject of another documentary as he awaits trial in his sex trafficking case.
ID Discovery released the trailer on Thursday for its four-part docuseries The Fall Of Diddy, which premieres on two nights, beginning on January 27 at 9 p.m. Episodes will also be available to stream on Max.
From the producers of Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV and in partnership with Rolling Stone, The Fall Of Diddy features more than 30 interviews from people in Combs' life, including his childhood friend Tim Patterson and Natania Griffin, the woman shot in the face during the 1999 New York City nightclub shooting for which Combs and others were on trial.
Why It Matters
Combs, 55, has been jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, since September, when he was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Three different judges have denied him bail on three separate occasions.
Combs is also the subject of more than 25 civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct.
Details Of Alleged Cassie Ventura Abuse
Makeup artist Mylah Morales says she allegedly witnessed Combs' abuse of his ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura.
"She [presumably Ventura] has knots on her head. It was horrific," Morales says in the trailer.
Roger Bonds, a bodyguard for Combs from 2003 to 2012, adds, "[Combs] says, 'Sometimes you just got to let these hoes know who the boss is.'"
Combs' Accusers Speak
Alleged Combs assault victims Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones and Thalia Graves also participated in the series. Jones, a former producer hired by Combs in 2022 for the making of The Love Album, is accusing Combs in a lawsuit of sex trafficking, abuse, forced drug use, fraud, and sexual assault.
"He said, 'I'm Puff Daddy. I'll eat your face off,'" Jones says in the trailer.
Jones says later, "There's a lot of people like Puffy in the music business. Exposing Puffy means exposing them."
Graves, 54, is also suing Combs, claiming she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs and his bodyguard in 2001. She says the alleged assault was filmed and distributed without her consent.
"I always believed that I was the only victim," Graves says in the trailer.
Danity Kane Member D. Woods Speaks
Singer D. Woods, a former member of the Combs-created girl group Danity Kane as documented on MTV's Making The Band, is breaking her silence in the documentary about her experience with Combs.
"Why did I put this on myself?" Woods, whose legal name is Wanita Denise Woodgett, asks in the trailer.
Combs fired Woods and fellow Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day from the group in October 2008 after a heated discussion with Combs on Making The Band.
O'Day has long spoken about being mistreated by Combs and celebrated his sex trafficking arrest on X, formerly Twitter.
"The purpose of Justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter. Women never get this. I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just me. Things are finally changing," O'Day posted on September 16.
Dawn Richard, another former Danity Kane member who then joined Combs' trio Diddy – Dirty Money, filed a lawsuit against him in September, alleging sexual battery, harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and unlawful imprisonment.
What Happens Next
A separate documentary on Combs, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy begins streaming on Peacock on January 14. Combs' sex trafficking trial is set to start in New York on May 5.
