Episode 59: P. Diddy and Hollywood's Dark Secrets
Did Sean "Diddy" Combs orchestrate a web of sex, drugs and violence scandals that could eclipse the darkest Hollywood tales?
After a federal grand jury in New York indicted the 54-year-old, and a judge ordered him to a notorious jail, we examine the history of the torrid accusations and rumours, and ask whether society is finally closing in on wealthy abusers. Kristi tells of her time at the Playboy Mansion: "I never saw any oil, I never saw naked bodies" but she also recounts the story of when she was propositioned on the floor of the US Senate.
The charges against Combs include sex offenses and transportation for prostitution, with the indictment claiming he "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct."
His lawyer, Mark Agnifilo maintained at Combs' initial court appearance that his client is "an innocent man with nothing to hide."
