lawsuit in November 2023. 240 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,300 And that was the catalyst for the federal investigation 241 00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,590 and those military-style raids. 242 00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:58,990 How unusual is it for the Feds to have their eyes 243 00:11:58,990 --> 00:12:01,420 opened by civil litigation, which 244 00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:02,870 seems to have happened here? 245 00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:05,020 Well, it's certainly important for the Feds, the Department 246 00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:06,895 of Justice, to have their eyes open to what's 247 00:12:06,895 --> 00:12:08,020 going on around them. 248 00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:10,790 With the Department of Homeland Security involved, 249 00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:13,280 that indicates that this goes beyond the border. 250 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280 And that tells me that the Department of Justice 251 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,930 and the investigators in this case 252 00:12:16,930 --> 00:12:19,300 may have inclinations or information 253 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:21,670 about that has led to the massive scale 254 00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:25,260 of this investigation. 255 00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:27,420

00:12:49,470 Cassie's self-titled album was released in 2006. 259 00:12:49,470 --> 00:12:51,860 About a year later, her relationship with Diddy 260 00:12:51,860 --> 00:12:54,570 became romantic. 261

drug-fueled lifestyle. 264 00:13:01,450 --> 00:13:03,870 She said Diddy gave her copious amounts of drugs, 265 00:13:03,870 --> 00:13:06,160 including opiates and ecstasy. 266 00:13:06,160 -->

302 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:58,730 she'd be beaten if she refused. 303 00:14:58,730 --> 00:15:02,140 Cassie also claimed near the end of their relationship, 304 00:15:02,140 --> 00:15:05,660 Diddy

00:15:20,770 because of the Cassie lawsuit. 308 00:15:20,770 --> 00:15:22,980 Once Cassie files that civil suit, 309 00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:26,710 now people feel like it's not rumor or innuendo anymore. 310 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:30,960 You have somebody who was in a publicly known relationship 311 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,300 with him for a very long time. 312 00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,870 And when that person is making allegations about freak offs, 313 00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:39,180 and when that person is talking about different types 314 00:15:39,180 --> 00:15:41,930 of potentially

00:15:49,830 was when Cassie threatened a lawsuit unless Diddy 318 00:15:49,830 --> 00:15:52,740 paid her $30 million. 319 00:15:52,740 --> 00:15:56,830 He told her to pound sand, never believing

lawsuit opened Pandora's box. 323 00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:09,590 Social media, especially TikTok, went crazy. 324 00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:13,090 And in a nanosecond, Diddy's reputation was trashed. 325 00:16:13,090 --> 00:16:15,700 Ooh, Diddy, you are in trouble. 326 00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,410 The stuff that he made her do is sick. 327 00:16:19,410 --> 00:16:24,110 I hope Cassie gets the justice that she deserves. 328 00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:26,260 Diddy, you are going to prison. 329 00:16:26,260 --> 00:16:29,470 Honey, Cassie has brought the receipts on Diddy, honey. 330 00:16:29,470 --> 00:16:33,070 And she's suing him for the things that he's done to her. 331 00:16:33,070 --> 00:16:36,580 Diddy tried to stop the bleeding by settling with Cassie 332 00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:38,720 just a day after she filed. 333 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,650 His lawyer said it was not an admission of wrongdoing. 334 00:16:41,650 --> 00:16:43,100 But the damage was done. 335 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,390 Diddy's most egregious and fatal error 336 00:16:46,390 --> 00:16:50,690 strategically was not settling with Cassie behind closed doors. 337 00:16:50,690 --> 00:16:52,660 If he settles with Cassie behind closed doors, 338 00:16:52,660 --> 00:16:54,870 there's a good chance that none of this controversy 339 00:16:54,870 --> 00:16:55,670 is happening. 340 00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:59,110 There's a good chance that other people wouldn't have 341 00:16:59,110 --> 00:17:00,688 their own lawsuits pile on. 342 00:17:00,688 --> 00:17:02,230 There's a good chance law enforcement 343 00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:06,560 wouldn't have had their radars activated by all the allegations 344 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,435 of illegal activity. 345 00:17:07,435 --> 00:17:08,810 There's a chance that Diddy would 346 00:17:08,810 --> 00:17:11,540 just be living his normal billionaire life right now. 347 00:17:11,540 --> 00:17:13,050 What more do I have to do, man? 348 00:17:13,050 --> 00:17:14,569 Look at my hat, man. 349 00:17:14,569 --> 00:17:15,540 Look at my hat. 350 00:17:15,540 --> 00:17:17,210 Look how I show up on-- look how I 351 00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:19,040 show up on the Amalfi Coast, B. 352 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,005 It looked like she put so much information out into the streets 353 00:17:22,005 --> 00:17:24,328 that embarrassed you, that you didn't want any more of it 354 00:17:24,328 --> 00:17:25,130 to come out. 355 00:17:25,130 --> 00:17:26,869 And because of that, Diddy looks more guilty 356 00:17:26,869 --> 00:17:28,550 than he did had he just settled behind closed 357 00:17:28,550 --> 00:17:29,670 doors from the beginning. 358 00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:31,920 If she said that he did it, he did it. 359 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,440 Did you read what-- did you read the things that he did to her? 360 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,650 P. Diddy going to jail. 361 00:17:39,650 --> 00:17:41,120 Yeah, he going to jail. 362 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:44,280 When the lawsuit happened, it started a domino effect. 363 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,240 But also, what was said in the lawsuit was really the part that 364 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,000 took people by surprise because of the rape allegations, 365 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,710 of the sex trafficking allegations, 366 00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:54,450 of the abuse that she went into detail about. 367 00:17:54,450 --> 00:17:57,620 It was very much like, oh, this is definitely 368 00:17:57,620 --> 00:17:59,480 the one that's going to shake the table 369 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,950 and shake his foundation. 370 00:18:00,950 --> 00:18:02,720 Suddenly, it was like everyone was just 371 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,120 coming out of the woodwork. 372 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:05,150 I was sick. 373 00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:06,510 I was sick of you. 374 00:18:06,510 --> 00:18:09,300 I was sick of everything that was going on around you. 375 00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:12,810 I was sick of having to cover up everything that you did. 376 00:18:12,810 --> 00:18:15,200 When Cassie found the strength to use her voice 377 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,042 and speak her truth, it gave other people 378 00:18:18,042 --> 00:18:19,460 the courage to do the same. 379 00:18:19,460 --> 00:18:24,020 And I think this is also just how this reckoning came to be. 380 00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:26,420 If one person has a power and has the ability 381 00:18:26,420 --> 00:18:29,188 to be honest and tell their story, 382 00:18:29,188 --> 00:18:30,980 then it allows other people to do the same. 383 00:18:30,980 --> 00:18:33,230 In fact, at least three other women came 384 00:18:33,230 --> 00:18:35,330 forward and filed lawsuits. 385 00:18:35,330 --> 00:18:38,960 Joy Dickerson Neal claimed Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted 386 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,990 her 33 years ago and secretly recorded the encounter 387 00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:44,950 and then shared it with others. 388 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:49,860 Liza Gardner claimed Diddy raped her and a friend in 1990. 389 00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:53,130 And another woman who refused to be named claimed Diddy 390 00:18:53,130 --> 00:18:57,490 and two other men gang raped her when she was just 17. 391 00:18:57,490 --> 00:19:01,950 Diddy is now facing another very serious lawsuit. 392 00:19:01,950 --> 00:19:05,520 And, you know, this all started with the Cassie lawsuit. 393 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,750 And then there were two more accusers. 394 00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:12,660 An anonymous accuser, as a Jane Doe, filed it in federal court 395 00:19:12,660 --> 00:19:13,510 today. 396 00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:16,540 And her allegation goes back to 2003. 397 00:19:16,540 --> 00:19:18,280 It was bad for Diddy. 398 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,450 Four women had come forward within three weeks 399 00:19:22,450 --> 00:19:25,120 in November and December 2023. 400 00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,950 Diddy himself finally released a statement saying, 401 00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:31,630 and this is a quote, "Enough is enough. 402 00:19:31,630 --> 00:19:35,640 For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched 403 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,280 people try to assassinate my character, 404 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,590 destroy my reputation and my legacy. 405 00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:46,680 Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals 406 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,090 looking for a quick payday." 407 00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:51,410 Diddy's response to all of these lawsuits has been, 408 00:19:51,410 --> 00:19:52,660 they're coming after my money. 409 00:19:52,660 --> 00:19:54,120 Everybody's an extortionist. 410 00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:55,540 That's not entirely untrue. 411 00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:58,470 I mean, everybody connected to him in these lawsuits 412 00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:59,950 has made money off of him. 413 00:19:59,950 --> 00:20:02,230 They've expected payment from him. 414 00:20:02,230 --> 00:20:04,102 But because somebody pays your bills, 415 00:20:04,102 --> 00:20:06,310 doesn't mean that they're entitled to do harm to you. 416 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:09,480 It doesn't mean that they're entitled to exploit you or abuse 417 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,260 you or otherwise mistreat you. 418 00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:13,680 So, yes, people might want more money from you. 419 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,350 But it doesn't mean you're off the hook. 420 00:20:19,910 --> 00:20:22,400 New allegations of sexual harassment and assault 421 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,815 against Sean Diddy Combs. 422 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,910 On February 26th, 2024, yet another lawsuit was filed 423 00:20:30,910 --> 00:20:32,950 against Diddy, this one from Rodney 424 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:35,080 Lil Rod Jones, one of Diddy's former 425 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,860 producers and videographers. 426 00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,405 And the allegations were even more shocking. 427 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,090 He is alleging groping, fondling, grooming. 428 00:20:46,090 --> 00:20:48,400 And he goes on and on about going 429 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,720 to a party where he says he was drugged and allegedly raped. 430 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,900 Rodney Lil Rod Jones worked with Diddy for about a year, 431 00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:57,440 starting in 2022. 432 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,060 He claims he recorded hundreds of hours of video and audio 433 00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:03,460 of Diddy, his staff, and others engaging 434 00:21:03,460 --> 00:21:06,040 in serious illegal activity. 435 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,470 Everybody's just telling me what he's allegedly capable of. 436 00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:13,570 And, you know, it's very scary for myself. 437 00:21:13,570 --> 00:21:17,170 And, you know, has me worried about my kids and, you know, 438 00:21:17,170 --> 00:21:21,320 just sleeping with the anxiety and different things like that. 439 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,640 So just moving forward, I'm just going to pause on everything 440 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,600 until we know that it's clear and safe for me 441 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,120 to come back outside of work. 442 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,760 Jones claims he has irrefutable evidence depicting, 443 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,830 among other things, Diddy's illicit drug 444 00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:39,390 use and unregistered firearms. 445 00:21:39,390 --> 00:21:42,920 Jones also claims he witnessed Diddy and other famous rappers 446 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,110 consorting with underage girls and sex workers. 447 00:21:46,110 --> 00:21:48,920 And the lawsuit alleges Diddy kept three sex workers 448 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,040 on a monthly retainer, including Daphne Joy, who has a son 449 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,540 with Diddy's nemesis, 50 Cent. 450 00:21:54,540 --> 00:21:58,680 Daphne denies the claim. 451 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,620 Her donor. 452 00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:03,400 And here's the clincher. 453 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,010 Jones alleges he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Diddy. 454 00:22:08,010 --> 00:22:12,060 It's usually rare that a male will step forward and accuse 455 00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:15,960 someone of sexual assault and participating in freak 456 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,740 offs and things of that nature. 457 00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:19,950 When he came forward, it definitely 458 00:22:19,950 --> 00:22:23,790 added to the disturbing claims that Diddy 459 00:22:23,790 --> 00:22:24,970 was already up against. 460 00:22:24,970 --> 00:22:27,390 It's just now, from a male perspective, 461 00:22:27,390 --> 00:22:31,860 as someone who worked closely with him on his last album. 462 00:22:31,860 --> 00:22:33,210 WOMAN: What's up, Diddy? 463 00:22:33,210 --> 00:22:36,870 I want to tell anyone out there watching, 464 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:39,410 this is not about his sexuality. 465 00:22:39,410 --> 00:22:42,670 That has been a big focus highlighted everywhere. 466 00:22:42,670 --> 00:22:45,730 I think that Puffy is not man enough to come out 467 00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:47,650 and simply say he's bisexual. 468 00:22:47,650 --> 00:22:50,660 Bisexual, black male, sex cult. 469 00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:53,260 Do you want to know what the judicial system cares about? 470 00:22:53,260 --> 00:22:54,130 Crimes. 471 00:22:54,130 --> 00:22:55,990 They don't care if a man has sex with a man 472 00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:57,830 or a woman or 18 women. 473 00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:59,680 And I believe in the justice system. 474 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,990 And the justice system doesn't raid anyone's 475 00:23:01,990 --> 00:23:03,312 home over their sexuality. 476 00:23:03,312 --> 00:23:05,020 NBC REPORTER: NBC is learning exclusively 477 00:23:05,020 --> 00:23:07,630 that the music producer accusing Diddy of sexual assault 478 00:23:07,630 --> 00:23:11,332 and harassment is also accusing actor Cuba Gooding Jr. Now 479 00:23:11,332 --> 00:23:13,540 he's saying Gooding groped and fondled him while they 480 00:23:13,540 --> 00:23:15,080 were on Combs's yacht. 481 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,330 His case got more holes than a Jamaican shirt. 482 00:23:19,330 --> 00:23:21,580 Little Rod is a fraud, man. 483 00:23:21,580 --> 00:23:23,980 You know, he ain't got no legs to stand on. 484 00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:28,940 This is merely an extortion attempt by him and his lawyer. 485 00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:32,130 That's all I can say. 486 00:23:32,130 --> 00:23:35,620 Diddy Attorney Shawn Holley told TMZ in a statement, 487 00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:39,960 "Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million 488 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,330 lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. 489 00:23:43,330 --> 00:23:46,620 His reckless namedropping about events that are pure fiction 490 00:23:46,620 --> 00:23:50,610 and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent 491 00:23:50,610 --> 00:23:52,780 attempt to garner headlines." 492 00:23:52,780 --> 00:23:57,210 In fact, TMZ has learned there are some big problems 493 00:23:57,210 --> 00:23:59,000 with Rodney Jones' lawsuit. 494 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,270 For one, it was filed by an attorney named Tyrone Blackburn, 495 00:24:03,270 --> 00:24:07,740 who is under the microscope of a federal disciplinary committee 496 00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:08,650 in New York. 497 00:24:08,650 --> 00:24:10,680 A judge who ordered that committee 498 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,100 to look into Blackburn's tactics said the lawyer 499 00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,050 had shown a pattern of filing-- 500 00:24:16,050 --> 00:24:17,460 and this is a quote-- 501 00:24:17,460 --> 00:24:21,660 "cases in federal court to garner media attention, 502 00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:25,470 embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, 503 00:24:25,470 --> 00:24:28,690 and pressure defendants to settle quickly." 504 00:24:28,690 --> 00:24:29,850 Another big problem-- 505 00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:32,800 Jones included in the lawsuit a screengrab 506 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,890 he claimed was Diddy's producer and close friend Stevie 507 00:24:35,890 --> 00:24:38,560 J having sex with another man. 508 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,320 But apparently, it wasn't Stevie J. 509 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,678 The photo is definitely not myself, 510 00:24:43,678 --> 00:24:44,720 you know what I'm saying? 511 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,620 This lie has been ongoing for a long time. 512 00:24:47,620 --> 00:24:51,370 A guy from the LGBT community, a porn star, he raised his hand. 513 00:24:51,370 --> 00:24:52,700 He said, that's my dirty work. 514 00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:54,640 That ain't my work. 515 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,990 That's cool if dudes do that. 516 00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:56,990 But that's not my thing. 517 00:24:56,990 --> 00:25:00,700 I like to embrace a nice woman with, you know. 518 00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:01,690 I wasn't mad. 519 00:25:01,690 --> 00:25:05,380 It's just like, for the hard work I put in for these 30 years 520 00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:09,670 in this industry, this is what I got to resort to watching this? 521 00:25:09,670 --> 00:25:10,670 My kids got to see this? 522 00:25:10,670 --> 00:25:11,730 My mom got to see this? 523 00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:21,050 It seemed much more like a tell-all rag book than 524 00:25:21,050 --> 00:25:23,260 it did an actual civil lawsuit. 525 00:25:23,260 --> 00:25:28,557 When you combine how bizarre the lawsuit looked with his attorney 526 00:25:28,557 --> 00:25:30,890 being a little bit sketchy in terms of the kind of cases 527 00:25:30,890 --> 00:25:32,510 he takes up, it felt like it could 528 00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:35,905 be a bit of revenge combined with legitimate concern. 529 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,560 With all the allegations and a federal investigation 530 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,510 that seems to be closing in on Diddy, 531 00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:47,270 you'd think it's over for him. 532 00:25:47,270 --> 00:25:49,380 But don't count him out just yet. 533 00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:53,800 Diddy has dodged bullets before, and lots of them. 534 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,380 REPORTER: This is not Combs' first run-in with the law. 535 00:25:56,380 --> 00:26:00,050 He was arrested in April for assaulting a record executive. 536 00:26:00,050 -->

00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:16,220 He's been having controversy since the early '90s. 542 00:26:16,220 --> 00:26:19,940 And he's never been convicted of any serious crimes. 543 00:26:19,940 --> 00:26:22,420 He's been-- lots of allegations, lots of accusations. 544 00:26:22,420 --> 00:26:25,650 His first bout with trouble was way back in 1991. 545 00:26:25,650 --> 00:26:28,135 Diddy co-promoted an event in New York City. 546 00:26:28,135 --> 00:26:29,510 The number of folks who showed up 547 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:31,850 was nearly twice the capacity for the venue, 548 00:26:31,850 --> 00:26:36,355 resulting in a stampede that led to nine deaths and 29 injuries. 549 00:26:36,355 --> 00:26:37,730 DIDDY: The things I deal with can 550 00:26:37,730 --> 00:26:41,160 no way measure up to the pain that the families deal with. 551 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,440 And I just pray for the families. 552 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,393 And I pray for the children that lost their lives. 553 00:26:46,393 --> 00:26:48,810 KATIE HAYES: Diddy was at the center of a violent incident 554 00:26:48,810 --> 00:26:51,090 again in December 1999. 555 00:26:51,090 --> 00:26:54,270 And this time, one of the biggest stars on the planet 556 00:26:54,270 --> 00:26:56,363 would be pulled into the fray. 557 00:26:56,363 --> 00:26:58,530 REPORTER: Police say Lopez and Combs were picked up, 558 00:26:58,530 --> 00:27:00,330 along with his bodyguard and driver, 559 00:27:00,330 --> 00:27:02,310 fleeing a shooting in a Manhattan nightclub 560 00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:04,240 that

--> 00:27:10,940 when all hell broke loose. 564 00:27:10,940 --> 00:27:13,830 So essentially, J.Lo and Diddy were out, 565 00:27:13,830 --> 00:27:17,100 partying with a couple of his friends, their friends, 566 00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:18,450 Shyne, another rapper. 567 00:27:18,450 --> 00:27:21,160 And an altercation ensued. 568 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,410 Shots were fired. 569 00:27:22,410 -->

Wolf Jones were later arrested, 580 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,490 charged, and hauled into jail. 581 00:27:53,490 --> 00:27:55,810 Mr. Combs feels very confident. 582 00:27:55,810 --> 00:27:58,050 Mr.

591 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,210 But questions linger. 592 00:28:16,210 --> 00:28:19,060 Was it actually Diddy who pulled the trigger? 593 00:28:19,060 --> 00:28:21,150 And did Shyne just take the fall? 594 00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:24,780 I literally watched them pull out the guns. 595 00:28:24,780 --> 00:28:26,520 I had a clear point of view. 596 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,110 I mean, for God's sake, I got shot in my nose. 597 00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:30,700 I was facing them directly. 598 00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:34,110 I watched everything occur and have described it, 599 00:28:34,110 --> 00:28:37,400 you know, vehemently to all parties involved. 600 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,150 I have nine bullet fragments remaining in my face. 601 00:28:40,150 --> 00:28:45,370 Diddy arrested for making terrorist threats at UCLA. 602 00:28:45,370 --> 00:28:46,870 It involves his son. 603 00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:49,680 It involves a very famous football coach 604 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:55,490 and an altercation that ended up with Diddy holding a kettlebell. 605 00:28:55,490 --> 00:28:57,902 And the question, was he trying to hit 606 00:28:57,902 --> 00:28:59,110 this coach with a kettlebell? 607 00:28:59,110 --> 00:29:00,885 Or was he trying to defend himself? 608 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,710 The one thing you got to do is you have 609 00:29:05,710 --> 00:29:08,210 to be there for your kids 110%. 610 00:29:08,210 --> 00:29:10,390 So as a father, if you feel-- or a mother-- 611 00:29:10,390 --> 00:29:13,300 anybody can relate to if you feel 612 00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,160 like you have to go and straighten 613 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,420 something out for your child. 614 00:29:16,420 --> 00:29:18,340 MAN: Was there a kettlebell involved? 615 00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:20,930 I went there to communicate. 616 00:29:20,930 --> 00:29:23,410 Diddy was charged with three counts of assault 617 00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:27,010 with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats, 618 00:29:27,010 --> 00:29:28,550 and one count of battery. 619 00:29:28,550 --> 00:29:31,120 But the DA wound up dropping the case. 620 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,490 He kind of just has a way of getting 621 00:29:33,490 --> 00:29:35,390 out of very tough situations. 622 00:29:35,390 --> 00:29:37,800 And he's been doing so for decades. 623 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,670 Rapper and songwriter Mark Curry 624 00:29:39,670 --> 00:29:41,950 worked with Diddy for nearly a decade 625 00:29:41,950 --> 00:29:45,020 and says Diddy definitely has an ugly side. 626 00:29:45,020 --> 00:29:50,570 I've seen Puff have anger spazzes on producers, females. 627 00:29:50,570 --> 00:29:51,500 I'm a savage! 628 00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:53,110 Whatever I want, I'm going to get! 629 00:29:53,110 --> 00:29:55,840 Whatever I want, I have to get! 630 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,630 MARK CURRY: A&Rs, people who work for him, 631 00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:00,470 so not just the females. 632 00:30:00,470 --> 00:30:02,060 It's guys, producers. 633 00:30:02,060 --> 00:30:03,410 I seen him spaz. 634 00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:07,250 Curry remembers a particularly nasty incident between Diddy 635 00:30:07,250 --> 00:30:10,790 and the mother of four of his children, Kim Porter. 636 00:30:10,790 --> 00:30:13,710 You saw him get physical with Kim? 637 00:30:13,710 --> 00:30:15,780 I didn't see him get physical with Kim. 638 00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:20,510 But I know situations where, let's say if Kim said 639 00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:23,480 she fell on the boat and broke her nose, and I say, 640 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,410 that's not actually what happened. 641 00:30:25,410 --> 00:30:26,410 She went into it. 642 00:30:26,410 --> 00:30:27,630 She just got a broke nose. 643 00:30:27,630 --> 00:30:29,820 I think her and Puff went to home together. 644 00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:32,320 And then next thing you know, she had the Band-Aid on. 645 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,080 So you already know what happened. 646 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,137 So she didn't-- she slipped and she fell. 647 00:30:36,137 --> 00:30:37,970 No, I don't think that because they was just 648 00:30:37,970 --> 00:30:39,810 arguing real big last night. 649 00:30:39,810 --> 00:30:41,630 He was really mad. 650 00:30:41,630 --> 00:30:44,090 Kim Porter died of pneumonia in 2018. 651 00:30:44,090 --> 00:30:46,850 But she was just one of a long list of women who 652 00:30:46,850 --> 00:30:48,890 were allegedly abused by Diddy. 653 00:30:48,890 --> 00:30:53,970 Ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh went public with this story in 2019. 654 00:30:53,970 --> 00:30:58,350 He, like, stomped on my stomach, like, really hard. 655 00:30:58,350 --> 00:31:00,870 And I-- like, took the wind out of my breath. 656 00:31:00,870 --> 00:31:03,290 I couldn't even-- I couldn't breathe. 657 00:31:03,290 --> 00:31:04,410 But he kept hitting me. 658 00:31:04,410 --> 00:31:07,700 And I was like, pleading to him, like, can you just-- 659 00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,030 can you stop? 660 00:31:09,030 --> 00:31:10,280 I can't breathe. 661 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,140 And he, like, stopped for a little bit. 662 00:31:13,140 --> 00:31:15,530 He, like, grabbed my hair from the back 663 00:31:15,530 --> 00:31:18,950 and, like, was, like, punching the back of my head 664 00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:21,680 because he was just avoiding my face 665 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,068 when he was, like, hitting me. 666 00:31:23,068 --> 00:31:26,110 Diddy's attorney calls Huynh's allegations quote 667 00:31:26,110 --> 00:31:29,160 "false and unsubstantiated." 668 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,470 If Puff put his hands on a female, 669 00:31:31,470 --> 00:31:34,080 he would do it behind a closed door. 670 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,350 And when the door opened, you would be like, wow, 671 00:31:36,350 --> 00:31:38,090 somebody has on a bandage. 672 00:31:38,090 --> 00:31:39,860 Did you ever see anything like that

team tells TMZ, 679 00:31:50,802 --> 00:31:54,380 "Mr. Curry's statements about what he thinks probably occurred 680 00:31:54,380 --> 00:31:57,500 between Mr. Combs and Ms. Porter are pure 681 00:31:57,500 --> 00:32:00,650 speculation and not based on any personal 682 00:32:00,650 --> 00:32:03,150 observations or knowledge." 683 00:32:03,150 --> 00:32:05,010 More money, more problems. 684
