Sean “Diddy” Combs managed to live a fully charmed life for many
years, forever protected by his star power. However, his past
alleged indiscretions – from his notorious temper directed
towards employees and paparazzi to dodging criminal charges
stemming from an infamous Manhattan nightclub shooting incident
that wounded three people – would ultimately come back to haunt
him.

By 2006, Combs had rebranded three times - from Puff Daddy to P.
Diddy to Diddy - but the luster of Bad Boy as a platinum record
hit making machine was long gone and while the label still had
bankable acts like Machine Gun Kelly, French Montana and Janelle
Monet, it was no longer the money-making juggernaut it had been
in the early aughts. Puff’s Icon Era was coming to a calamitous
end.

In the third episode of this special series of The Trial,
DailyMail.com’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez covers
Combs’ ever-mounting business troubles, his multiple law-suits
and the growing allegations around his alleged dark and abusive
sexual encounters known as “freak offs”.
