More insiders come forward to break their silence about Diddy in ‘disturbing’ new doc
Another documentary about Sean “Diddy” Combs is coming out as the embattled rapper sits in a cell awaiting trial.
The four-parter, “The Fall of Diddy,”on Investigation Discovery, features never before seen archival footage of Combs at some of his infamous parties as well as in the studio and out at the club dating back to the ‘90s.
Several people from the Harlem native’s past are interviewed, including onetime friends, colleagues and associates who are coming forward for the first time.
“Spanning Combs’ decades-long impact on music and popular culture, from his early days as a talented creative to his 2024 arrest, the docuseries uncovers the insidious and terrifying allegations of sexual assault, abusive behavior, violence and other disturbing claims that lay beneath his success,” reads an ID press release.
“I always believed that I was the only victim,” says accuser Thalia Graves in the trailer. The Texas woman, who used to date an executive at the mogul’s Bad Boys Records, claims Diddy and a bodyguard raped her in 2001 and recorded it. Graves, who is represented by Gloria Allred in a civil lawsuit against Diddy, contends the video is still in circulation.
Also appearing on camera is Mylah Morales, a makeup artist for Combs’ ex Cassie Ventura, who purportedly witnessed several beatings.
“She had knots on her head; it was horrific,” says Morales, of the R&B singer who settled with the hip hopper in November 2023, a day after filing a federal lawsuit alleging years of abuse. Months later, leaked surveillance video from an L.A. hotel in 2016 shows Combs throwing and kicking Ventura down a hallway. The father of seven apologized two days later telling his fans he was “disgusted” with himself and was at “rock bottom” when the shocking incident occurred.
Another person pivotal to exposing Diddy makes a cameo in the ID doc — that would be Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. The “Love Album” producer’s $30M suit against his former boss, on the heels of Ventura’s complaint, triggered a sex trafficking investigation and federal raids on both his Star Island and L.A. mansions.
“[There are] a lot of people like Puffy in the music business,” Jones says cryptically in the clip. “Exposing Puffy means exposing them.”
Last September, the 55-year-old Harlem native was indicted on various charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. He remains incarcerated at MDC in Brooklyn, with a trial set for May 2025; his lawyers continue to deny all charges.
This latest doc is not to be confused with Peacock’s “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” which also features interviews with various folks in his inner circle. That one begins airing Tuesday.
“The Fall of Diddy” premieres across two nights starting at 9 p.m. on Jan. 27 on ID.
