Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces federal charges in New York, his lawyer said late Monday. Details of the charges weren't immediately announced by prosecutors.
Sean"Diddy" Combs arrives at the LA Premiere of"The Four: Battle For Stardom" at the CBS Radford Studio Center on May 30, 2018, in Los Angeles.Details of the charges weren't immediately announced by prosecutors, but Combs' lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, issued a statement saying:"We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Combs, then known as Puff Daddy, was at the center of the East Coast-West Coast hip-hop battles of the 1990s as the partner and producer of the Notorious B.I.G., who was shot and killed in 1997. But like many of those who survived the era, his public image had softened with age into a genteel host of parties in Hollywood and the Hamptons, a fashion-forward businessman, and a doting father who spoiled his kids, some of whom lost their mother in 2018.
The following day, in his first real acknowledgement of wrongdoing since the stream of allegations began, Combs posted a social media video apologizing, saying"I was disgusted when I did it" and"I'm disgusted now." Cassie's lawsuit was followed by at least a half-dozen others in the ensuing months. Another woman who filed a lawsuit, April Lampos, said she was a college student in 1994 when she met Combs and a series of"terrifying sexual encounters" with Combs and those around him began that lasted for years.While authorities did not publicly say that the lawsuits set off the criminal investigation, Dyer said when the warrants were served that the case was based on"meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.
