An upcoming ID docuseries, made in partnership with Rolling Stone Films, will investigate the decades-long accusations against Sean Combs, with new testimonials from many of the Bad Boy honcho’s former friends and work colleagues alongside multiple accusers.
On Thursday, ID shared the first trailer for The Fall of Diddy, a multi-part series that premieres on the channel on January 27 and 28; the docuseries will also be available to stream on Max.
“From those who saw his alleged violence and temper during his college days at Howard University and the onset of his career with Bad Boy Records, to those who knew him at the height of his influence and power in recent years, The Fall of Diddy covers decades of mounting allegations,” the docuseries said in a synopsis.
The series, from the filmmaking team behind Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, features interviews with Danity Kane’s D. Woods, former Vibe editor-in-chief Danyel Smith, producer and accuser Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, Thalia Graves (who claims Combs raped her in 2001), Combs’ longtime personal chef and more, many of whom speak on camera for the first time about their experiences with Combs.
Rolling Stone’s Cheyenne Roundtree, journalist Mara S. Campo, and former Combs associates like his longtime bodyguard Roger Bonds and personal driver Wardel Fenderson also appear throughout the docuseries.
“Through these interviews combined with a vast collection of archival footage, The Fall of Diddy paints a holistic picture of a mogul who is alleged to have wielded his extensive power and influence to obscure, for decades, a pattern of abuse and violence that left an unprecedented amount of pain and suffering in his wake,” ID added.
Combs is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Combs was arrested on Sept. 16, 2024, and his trial is set to begin this May. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
