Diddy's Lawyers Seek Dismissal of Charges in New York Assault Case.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the once-dominant hip-hop mogul known as Puffy or P. Diddy, faces a dramatically altered life behind bars after his recent conviction on two prostitution-related charges. According to CBS News, Combs was sentenced to just over four years in prison earlier this month, with Federal Bureau of Prisons records showing his expected release on May 8, 2028, from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, a facility offering drug treatment programs to address his issues.CBS News reports that Combs faced early disciplinary action just days into his sentence, as detailed in an internal prison document, yet he's reportedly taken on a chapel gig and maximized family visitations. The 56-year-old appeared emotionless at sentencing in Lower Manhattan, where prosecutors had pushed for over 11 years, but he was acquitted of graver racketeering and sex trafficking charges that could have meant life in prison.Off the legal front, Combs delisted his infamous $61.5 million Beverly Hills mansion from the market on December 24, per Realtor.com via MarketWatch. The 10-bedroom Holmby Hills estate, bought for $39 million in 2014 and raided by Homeland Security in 2024 amid the probe, drew no buyers despite amenities like a theater, pool grotto, and basketball court—its "freak off" party stigma proving too toxic.Meanwhile, family pushes back: AOL reports that sons Justin and Christian "King" Combs teased a 2026 Zeus docuseries to share their side. A Netflix series, "Sean Combs: The Reckoning," produced by 50 Cent, has further swayed public opinion against him, as noted by Wyoming Public Media.Additional civil woes persist, including a lawsuit from former stylist Deonte' Nash alleging abuse, per CBS News, though some claims like Lil Rod's RICO suit were dismissed.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, also known as Puff Daddy or P. Diddy, remains at the center of heated legal and media battles from his prison cell at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. RadarOnline reports that Combs, 56, and his legal team are weighing action against Netflix over allegedly stolen footage in the explosive docuseries *Sean Combs: The Reckoning*, executive produced by his rival 50 Cent. The four-part series, which debuted December 2 and became a Netflix hit, features private hotel room videos of Combs from days before his September 2024 arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Combs sent a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix the day before release, calling it a "shameful hit piece" with unauthorized material from his own personal documentary project, according to his spokesperson speaking to Deadline and CNN. Director Alexandra Stapleton countered that the footage was obtained legally, telling media outlets they protected the source's identity and repeatedly sought Combs' comment.Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after a July conviction on two prostitution-related charges tied to his infamous "freak-offs," though acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking. His team filed an appeal two days before Christmas, arguing the sentence exceeds guidelines, per Variety and his lawyer Alexandra A.E. Shapiro.Adding to the firestorm, Combs' sons Justin, 32, and Christian "King" Combs announced a counter-docuseries on Zeus Network for 2026, sharing their firsthand family perspective amid the trial's fallout. A teaser shows them viewing trial headlines and Justin taking a prison call from their father, whom Justin visited on Christmas. The Source notes 50 Cent reacted skeptically on Instagram: "Wow I want to see this show, I’m not sure this was a good idea." Parade highlights backlash in comments like "Nobody care about their POV," but Zeus CEO Lemuel Plummer defends it as platforming their personal story without endorsement.These dueling projects underscore Combs' enduring spotlight, blending family loyalty, vendettas, and public scrutiny.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, also known as Puff Daddy and P Diddy, remains at the center of one of the most consequential celebrity legal sagas in modern music history. According to Access Hollywood, the disgraced music mogul was arrested in September 2024 and later tried on five federal counts, including sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution, and racketeering. After an eight‑week trial that featured 34 witnesses, including former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a jury convicted Combs on two of the five counts, and in October 2025 he was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison, with a projected release in mid‑2028. Access Hollywood reports that he has already filed an appeal challenging that outcome.That appeal has now become the latest headline. The Associated Press, via The Hollywood Reporter and the New York Post, reports that Combs’ legal team has asked the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York to order his immediate release or send the case back for a lighter sentence. His lawyers argue the trial judge improperly let evidence from charges on which he was acquitted influence the punishment, and contend that the four‑plus‑year term under the Mann Act is excessively harsh. Rolling Stone likewise notes that the filing portrays Combs as unfairly sentenced and pushes for resentencing on a fast track.Meanwhile, the story around Combs has expanded far beyond a single courtroom. The Hollywood Reporter details how he is serving his time at a low‑security federal facility in New Jersey, while Deadline and TV Insider chronicle the continuing fallout from a wave of civil lawsuits and a surge of media projects dissecting his past. Netflix’s documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, digs into years of allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder, while a spokesperson for Combs has issued statements insisting he has “never sexually assaulted anyone” and categorically denies the accusations highlighted in the film, as noted by CBS News.The reverberations reach his family and former artists. AllHipHop reports that streaming platform Zeus has ordered a 2026 docuseries giving Justin Combs and Christian “King” Combs their own space to address life in the shadow of their father’s trial and its impact on their careers and identity. CBS News recently featured former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day, who discussed learning of an affidavit alleging a sexual assault involving Combs, claims he firmly rejects through his representatives.As appeals play out, dozens of civil claims and a growing catalog of documentaries, interviews, and podcasts are reshaping how the public understands Sean Combs’ legacy: from hit‑making icon and business mogul to a central figure in a broader reckoning over power, abuse, and accountability in entertainment.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Sean Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, or Diddy, remains at the center of one of the most closely watched celebrity and legal dramas in America, as fresh reporting, new documentaries, and ongoing investigations continue to reshape how the public sees the once-untouchable hip-hop and business mogul.According to CBS News, renewed attention has surged following the release of the Netflix documentary series “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” which compiles years of abuse and misconduct allegations from multiple accusers, former employees, and industry insiders. In an exclusive CBS News interview tied to the documentary, singer Aubrey O’Day, who rose to fame under Combs’ Bad Boy umbrella in the group Danity Kane, describes herself as “speaking for the underdogs” as she details the power dynamics and alleged emotional and sexual abuse she says were embedded in working for Combs and his companies. CBS News reports that O’Day also learned of an affidavit from an unidentified witness who claims to have seen Combs and another man sexually assault her, an allegation Combs denies in the Netflix series and through his attorneys, insisting he has never assaulted anyone.These new on-camera accounts arrive after a cascade of civil lawsuits filed over the past two years, including a high-profile suit by singer and former partner Cassie Ventura that accused Combs of years of physical violence, coercion, and sex trafficking behavior before it was rapidly settled out of court. Major outlets such as the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and the Associated Press have chronicled how that settlement did not end Combs’ problems: multiple additional plaintiffs soon came forward, prompting a broader cultural reexamination of his legacy in music, fashion, television, and nightlife.In parallel, federal law-enforcement interest has intensified. National outlets including CNN and NBC News have reported on Homeland Security raids of properties linked to Combs and on an ongoing investigation exploring whether any of the alleged conduct could rise to criminal charges tied to trafficking or racketeering, though no criminal indictment has been announced and Combs continues to deny all criminal wrongdoing through his legal team. Legal analysts interviewed by outlets like ABC News note that even without charges, the combination of civil suits, video leaks, and documentary testimony has already inflicted severe damage on his brand partnerships, media ventures, and once-lucrative reputation as a mentor and kingmaker.As the story continues to develop, major news organizations emphasize that many allegations remain unproven in court, that Combs is legally presumed innocent of any crime, and that several cases are either sealed, settled, or still pending, leaving listeners in a moment where ongoing reporting, whistleblower testimony, and potential future filings could further alter the narrative.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Sean Combs, known to listeners as Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, and Love, remains at the center of a storm of legal fallout, prison life revelations, and pop‑culture reckoning, even as he serves a federal sentence. According to LAist, a Manhattan federal jury found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while acquitting him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges that could have carried a possible life sentence. Each of the two counts carries a maximum of 10 years, and outside the criminal case he still faces a wave of civil lawsuits from former employees and associates, including claims of sexual abuse and violence.CBS News New York reports that Combs was sentenced to just over four years in federal prison and is currently incarcerated with an expected release date in May 2028. Internal prison records obtained by CBS indicate he was disciplined within days of arriving, even as his legal team pushed for placement at a facility with a residential drug treatment program and broader access to family visits.While his physical world has shrunk, his financial and cultural footprint remains under intense scrutiny. A deep dive on his fortunes from AOL describes how the onetime hip‑hop billionaire—who built an empire spanning Bad Boy Records, Sean John fashion, liquor deals, and media ventures—has seen his net worth deflate after walking away from major partnerships and relinquishing control of his Revolt media stake amid mounting allegations. Yet PopRant from the India Times reports that his money machine has not fully stopped: his $60 million Gulfstream G550 private jet is now being chartered while he remains behind bars, logging more than 120 trips and generating millions in revenue even as he sits in a cell.The culture war over his legacy has only intensified on screen. RadarOnline, via an exclusive report carried by AOL, says Combs is fighting to shut down the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, directed by Alexandria Stapleton, which lays out decades of allegations of rape, sex trafficking, false imprisonment, and physical abuse, anchored in part by the now‑infamous hotel surveillance footage of his assault on Cassie Ventura. Sources told the outlet that Combs sees the series as a “permanent cancel card” that could seal the door on any comeback, and his lawyers have fired off a cease‑and‑desist letter to Netflix alleging use of private legal conversations and copyrighted material. A separate report from PopRant notes that 50 Cent’s involvement with Sean Combs: The Reckoning has supercharged global viewership, reigniting public debate over Combs’ rise, his alleged “freak‑off” parties, and whether redemption is even possible.Rolling Out adds another twist, covering how 50 Cent has continued to needle Combs in public while insisting there is no personal beef, using the docuseries and the larger scandal as fuel for his own brand of trolling commentary. All of it leaves Sean Combs in a rare position: a once‑dominant architect of modern hip‑hop, simultaneously imprisoned, monetized, and dissected in real time by courts, corporations, and cameras.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Sean Combs, better known as Puffy or P Diddy, is at the center of one of the most dramatic falls from grace in modern music culture, and the headlines keep coming. After a high‑profile federal trial in New York this year, outlets including LAist and CNN have detailed how prosecutors accused Combs of running a years‑long operation built around so‑called “freak‑offs,” with witnesses describing sex parties, drug‑fueled hotel scenes, and a culture of fear and control around the hip‑hop mogul. Jurors ultimately cleared him of sex trafficking and racketeering, but he was convicted on prostitution‑related transport charges and sentenced to just over four years in federal prison, a stunning moment for a man once synonymous with glossy excess and chart‑topping success.CBS News reports that inside prison, Combs has already faced disciplinary write‑ups, including punishment for allegedly trying to take part in a three‑way phone call, a violation of facility rules. He has been assigned to work in the prison chapel and is enrolled in a drug treatment program, a far cry from the red carpets, private jets, and VIP sections that defined his public life for decades.Outside those walls, the battle over his legacy is raging. Netflix’s four‑part documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” produced by longtime rival Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has ignited intense debate. The Afro and other outlets describe how the series stitches together new behind‑the‑scenes footage, old industry rumors, and graphic allegations of abuse, painting Combs as both architect and beneficiary of a ruthless system that blended celebrity, power, and alleged predation. According to CNN and AOL, Combs’ lawyers have fired back with a cease‑and‑desist letter, accusing Netflix and 50 Cent of using stolen footage and calling the series a biased hit piece.That fight now appears headed toward an even bigger stage. NoirOnline reports that Combs is preparing a $1 billion lawsuit against Netflix over the docuseries, signaling that even from prison he intends to wage war in civil court and in the court of public opinion. At the same time, IndiaTimes notes that his sons have remained publicly silent amid the uproar, declining to appear in the documentary despite conversations with producers, leaving listeners to wonder how they will navigate the weight of their father’s name.For listeners who grew up on Bad Boy records and remember the shiny‑suit era, this moment feels like a reckoning not just for one man, but for a whole chapter of hip‑hop culture. Allegations once whispered in back rooms are now playing out on mainstream platforms, forcing fans, artists, and executives to reconsider what they looked away from and why.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, also known as Puff Daddy and Puffy, is facing the most serious legal and reputational crisis of his career, as multiple criminal proceedings, civil suits, and media projects converge to reshape his legacy in real time. LAist reports that a federal jury in Manhattan recently found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while acquitting him on the most serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking involving his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and another woman who testified under the name “Jane.” According to LAist, jurors rejected prosecutors’ attempt to tie Combs to a broader criminal enterprise, but accepted evidence that he organized and paid for interstate travel connected to what he called “freak offs” and “hotel nights,” which the government said involved paid sex with male sex workers. Each of the two counts he was convicted on carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison, leaving Combs still facing a substantial possible prison term at sentencing. AOL reports that the trial judge in the racketeering and sex trafficking case has offered Combs a narrow path to reduce any eventual sentence, indicating he could potentially cut up to a year off by participating in certain prison programs if incarcerated, a detail that underscores how seriously the court is treating the convictions even after the acquittals on the heaviest charges. Outside the criminal courtroom, LAist also notes that Combs remains entangled in dozens of civil lawsuits from former employees and associates, adding to an already sprawling legal battle that began in late 2023 when Cassie’s high-profile civil suit was rapidly settled for $20 million with no admission of wrongdoing. At the same time, the cultural narrative around Combs is shifting. Ground News, summarizing coverage from outlets including the Sydney Morning Herald, highlights a new four-part Netflix documentary produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson that revisits long-circulating allegations and industry rumors about Combs, including claims connected to the 1990s East Coast–West Coast feud and a purported $1 million hit on Tupac Shakur. According to that reporting, the series is explicitly designed to dismantle Combs’ public image as a visionary mogul and recast his rise as being intertwined with intimidation, exploitation, and violence, reflecting how far his reputation has fallen from his Bad Boy Records and Sean John fashion heyday. FarrahGray.com further reports that Combs is also under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for alleged sexual battery in California, adding yet another active law-enforcement probe to his mounting troubles. Combined with his split from major corporate partners in spirits, fashion, and media, these developments have left Combs’ once-massive commercial empire in disarray as the legal system and the court of public opinion both bear down on him.

Sean Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and P Diddy, remains at the center of one of the most consequential falls from grace in modern pop culture, as legal setbacks, prison time, and a new wave of scrutiny collide with his once‑towering legacy.According to LAist and NPR, a federal jury in Manhattan found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while acquitting him of the more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex‑trafficking charges after a high‑profile trial that featured graphic testimony about drug‑fueled “freak‑offs” involving his ex‑girlfriends and male sex workers. The guilty counts each carry a potential sentence of up to ten years in prison, and they capped years of mounting civil suits and allegations that had already shaken his reputation and business empire.Aol.com reports that a judge recently denied Combs’ latest attempt to secure bail while he awaits final sentencing, rejecting a $50 million bond package that included house arrest, electronic monitoring, and private security. In that ruling, the court emphasized evidence of violence, coercion, and subjugation in connection with the prostitution offenses and concluded that Combs still posed both a danger and a flight risk, keeping the Bad Boy Records founder behind bars as lawyers argue over complex federal sentencing guidelines.The reckoning is not limited to the courtroom. Hindustan Times reports that a new Netflix docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, executive‑produced by 50 Cent, has intensified public scrutiny of Combs’ inner circle, drawing his family into the storm. The series revisits long‑simmering accusations while examining how those closest to him navigated his rise and alleged abuses. After its release, Combs’ son Justin and his mother, Misa Hylton, said they faced online harassment and renewed speculation about their private lives, with Hylton publicly warning that rumor and agenda were driving much of the conversation before later deleting her statement.Times Now notes that Combs has been sentenced to 50 months in prison on the prostitution‑transportation convictions, a stunning endpoint for a mogul whose brand once symbolized aspirational excess, from chart‑topping hits and Grammy wins to fashion, reality TV, and billion‑dollar liquor deals. Even as his past achievements continue to echo through music and culture, the current headlines focus squarely on accountability, power, and the long shadow of alleged abuse.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.
