Sean “Diddy” Combs, the 2024 arrest on multiple federal sex trafficking and sexual abuse charges, has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. While some information about his volatile relationship with Cassie Ventura has been made public, much remains a mystery.
The documentary Diddy: The Making Of A Bad Boy provides an in-depth look at Combs’s life, from his troubled childhood to his rise as a music mogul. Combs was just three when his father was murdered, allegedly in a gang-related incident. As a result, he had multiple people move in with him and his mother after the tragedy.
Combs’s early career was marred by controversy, including a crowd crush at a charity boxing match that claimed nine lives and injured 27 more. Although Combs was never criminally charged, many point to his aggressive promotion tactics as a contributing factor.
As Combs’s reputation grew, so did his love of lavish parties, known as “white parties.” The documentary provides a glimpse into these events, which have faced intense scrutiny since Combs’s arrest. One former employee details coercive, marathon sex sessions that allegedly took place at these parties.
The documentary also sheds light on Combs’s alleged abuse of underage women. Since Cassie Ventura’s civil suit went public, over 30 women have come forward with similar allegations. One woman, Ashley, claims she was gang-raped by Combs and others after meeting a “scouter” named Shane Pearce at a bar.
Combs has denied all allegations made against him through his lawyers. Diddy: The Making Of A Bad Boy is streaming on Binge now.
