Homeland Security raided Sean Diddy Combs’s estates in Los Angeles and Miami today. At one point they handcuffed his sons. The Feds are looking for evidence of sex trafficking and any record of Combs drugging or holding women against their will.
It’s been coming for months, since Combs’s girlfriend Cassie sued him for a variety of claims including sex trafficking, human trafficking, sexual battery, sexual assault, and gender-motivated violence. The lawsuit — which was settled out of court — alleged rape, battery, and forced sex acts with male sex workers.
Other women have emerged since then with similar claims, and so did a male producer. In the meantime Combs has lost all of his endorsements and has become a social pariah. He was encouraged to stay away from all Grammy activities this winter, and he obliged.
Things have not gone well for the once high flying record executive and entrepreneur. Macy’s dropped his Sean John line of clothing. His “Love” album was a huge dud sales wise.
What’s next? It’s obvious the Feds are building toward an arrest. A trial would follow, on the level of R Kelly, Michael Jackson, or OJ Simpson. For those of us who’ve known Puff Daddy since he first emerged 30 years ago, this is a stunning turn of events.
More to come…
