'Quiet on Set' producer tackles Diddy abuse allegations in new docuseries: See the trailer
As Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal fate hangs in the balance, several of his accusers are coming forward in a new docuseries to further detail his alleged abuses.
Investigation Discovery released a trailer for its upcoming docuseries on the embattled music mogul, "The Fall of Diddy," on Thursday. The four-part series, helmed by "Quiet on Set" producer Maxine Productions and Rolling Stone Films, will feature "exclusive, never-before-heard accounts and never-before-seen archival footage" illuminating the "harrowing allegations of violent behavior and illegal activity" recently leveled against Combs.
"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," Investigation Discovery said in a press release.
Combs, who was arrested in September 2024 on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, remains in custody at the Special Housing Unit in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. A trial for the Grammy-winning rapper, who's denied all accusations against him, is set to commence on May 5.
Combs' alleged misconduct came under scrutiny in November 2023 when ex-girlfriend and "Me & U" singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura accused Combs of rape, sex trafficking and physical abuse in a lawsuit that was promptly settled one day after Ventura filed. The lawsuit spurred multiple civil suits alleging rape and sexual assault by the hip-hop mogul, as well as pair of federal raids.
The docuseries will include interviews with more than 30 of Combs' associates, ranging from former friends and colleagues to individuals who worked directly for Combs, such as former Danity Kane member D. Woods.

Thalia Graves and Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones Jr., both of whom have sued Combs for alleged sexual assault, appear in Thursday's trailer. Graves, who claims Combs and his bodyguard "viciously raped her" in 2001, says in the clip: "I always believed that I was the only victim."
Jones, who worked as a producer on Combs' "The Love Album: Off the Grid," alleged in his February 2024 lawsuit that the rapper "forcibly touched" him and accused Combs and his associates of participating in "a sex-trafficking venture."
"There's a lot of people like Puffy in the music business," Jones says in the trailer. "Exposing Puffy means exposing them."
The ID series is not the only TV exposé on Combs' alleged abuses. Streaming service Peacock will be releasing a documentary special, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," on Tuesday.
"The Fall of Diddy" will premiere in two parts on Jan. 27 and Jan. 28 at 9 p.m. ET on Investigation Discovery. Episodes will also be available to stream on Max.
