In May 2024, CNN released 2016 surveillance footage showing Combs allegedly assaulting former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a California hotel. The video shows physical violence including grabbing, throwing, and dragging incidents. Ventura's subsequent lawsuit alleging abuse was quickly settled.

Former associate Courtney Burgess has testified to possessing flash drives containing eight sex tapes involving Combs and various celebrities, including alleged minors. These tapes were reportedly provided by Kim Porter, Combs' late ex-girlfriend, before her 2018 death. The Department of Homeland Security has demanded surrender of these materials.

Combs currently faces multiple charges:

  • Racketeering
  • Sex trafficking
  • Transportation for prostitution

Federal investigators are examining claims about "Freak Off" parties involving male escorts, some allegedly minors, with multiple witnesses providing testimonies. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains in custody without bail.

His legal team denies all allegations, claiming consensual encounters and accusing prosecutors of strategically leaking the assault video. Prosecutors have denied possessing the video before CNN's publication.

These developments have sparked industry-wide discussions about power dynamics and accountability in entertainment, potentially affecting both Combs and others implicated in the ongoing investigation.
