Diddy’s accusers and former employees have detailed alleged violence and abuse in on-camera interviews for an upcoming documentary series that comes on the heels of the announcement of a different one from Peacock.
Investigation Discovery (ID) on Thursday released a trailer for The Fall Of Diddy that featured some members of the inner circle of the 55-year-old rapper, born Sean Combs, who is currently in federal prison on charges including sex trafficking and extortion.
The Fall Of Diddy is a four-part series and will premiere over two nights starting Monday, January 27 at 9pm EST on ID and the Max streaming service.
A press release about the upcoming docuseries says: “Through these interviews combined with a vast collection of archival footage, The Fall of Diddy paints a holistic picture of a mogul who has allegedly 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 its wake.’
Two of Diddy’s accusers appeared in the trailer, including Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones and Thalia Graves, who sued the rapper for sexual misconduct.
Jones had one of the strongest moments of the clip, as he says at the end: “There are a lot of people like (Combs) in the music business.”

Jones is a former producer of Diddy’s and claimed she had sexually harassed him, while Graves (pictured) alleged Diddy violently raped her in 2001 before threatening her into silence.
‘Exposing him (him) means exposing them.’
Graves said she believed she was the only one accusing Diddy, saying, “I always believed I was the only victim.”

Former Vibe magazine editor-in-chief Danyel Smith also appeared in the trailer when he spoke about the alleged violent behavior towards her.
Other people who previously worked for Diddy appeared in the clip, including a former chef, publicist and makeup artist Mylah Morales, who says she witnessed Diddy’s alleged abuse of singer and ex-girlfriend Cassie (born Cassandra Ventura).
The trailer includes a brief clip of footage from March 5, 2016 showing the shirtless rapper with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in Century City before grabbing her and kicking her.

One of the most interesting parts of the trailer came when a woman sat in the interview chair in the dark with her identity hidden.
She said: “The truth will always find its way, even in the darkness.”
Adding to the intrigue, ID also says there will also be “accounts from new voices yet to be announced, including those coming forward for the first time with deeply disturbing accounts of their encounters with Combs.”
The music mogul remains in federal custody at New York City’s notoriously harsh Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting trial.
Combs has pleaded not guilty and a recent Page Six report said he appeared in court “shockingly thinner” and “grayer” after months away from the lavish lifestyle he and his family were accustomed to.
After a months-long investigation by authorities, he was charged with sex trafficking, extortion and transportation for prostitution (all of which he denies) and a trial date was set for May 5.
Combs was placed on suicide watch during his first week in custody, but was removed shortly after, with his attorney stating that his client was “focused and very strong.”
He faces a series of sex charges along with new allegations, including a new sexual assault lawsuit against a 13-year-old girl.
There was also Diddy’s former bodyguard, Roger Bonds.
An old photo of Bonds and Diddy together was shown.
There was also an anonymous man.
He said – without context – that he was ‘fighting for his life’ and had a photo of himself in the hospital.

The new legal filing seen by DailyMail.com claims that Diddy had allegedly “aggressively approached” the young woman with a “crazed look in his eyes” before sexually assaulting her.
She claims that an unidentified male celebrity also raped her while Diddy and an unidentified female celebrity watched.
The rapper has denied the allegations. His lawyers told DailyMail.com that he “never sexually assaulted anyone” and said the most recent “flurry of filings” were nothing more than “clear attempts to gain publicity.”
