As allegations about Sean “Diddy” Combs' behavior over the years continue to come to light, ABC News Studios IMPACT x Nightline will release a new special chronicling the producer's dramatic downfall on Thursday (June 6) on Hulu.
And in a new clip from Diddy's Downfall shared exclusively with Advertising sign, Tiffany Red, a friend of Cassie Ventura — the singer who dated Combs for about a decade until 2018 and claimed he sexually and physically abused her during their relationship in a now-settled lawsuit — provides firsthand accounts about how the Bad Boy Records founder allegedly made people in his circle feel. “My sense was that everyone around him was afraid of him,” Red tells ABC News' Byron Pitts. “He's explosive.”
In the sneak peek, Red also recalls seeing an interaction between Diddy and Ventura at the latter's 29th birthday party. “Right behind the door – his security is around him – they've got her in the corner,” he claims. “He's in her face and swearing at her. He was really mad, he was so close to her face. She just had her head down … she was just looking up at me.”
Diddy's Downfall will also feature interviews with Donnie Klang, a Making the Band 4 winning singer who Combs once mentored, as well as Derrick Parker, the NYPD detective who arrested the “Can't Nobody Hold Me Down” artist after from a nightclub shooting in 1999. (.Didi was acquitted in 2001 on weapons and bribery charges.)
“Sean 'Diddy' Combs was one of the most powerful men in music,” reads the episode's description. “Now, the businessman faces multiple lawsuits and is under investigation for criminal sex trafficking. Initiates paint a picture of the struggling star and explore the fall of the tycoon.”
The episode comes as Diddy faces multiple lawsuits, the most recent of which was filed on May 21 by former model Crystal McKinney. He has strongly denied all allegations against him, although he released a video apology in May for his behavior in a recently resurfaced video of him assaulting Ventura during a hotel stay in 2016. The incident mirrors an allegation made by Ventura in her suit against Combs.
