Diddy’s Hulu reality show has been scrapped amid sexual assault allegations, Variety reports. The series, tentatively titled Diddy+7, was set to follow the musician and his children. Diddy+7 planned to highlight the family’s businesses and their day-to-day routines, Page Six previously reported.
The news arrives on the heels of 18 brands cutting ties with the media mogul. A Rolling Stone report documented the brands ending their partnerships with the mogul’s Empower Global project. Some brands that have severed ties with the mogul’s platform include No One Clothiers, Tsuri, Fulaba, and House of Takura. Annette Njau, House of Takura’s founder, said Cassie Ventura’s initial suit against Sean Combs influenced her decision.
“This decision was made on the day that Casandra Ventura filed her lawsuit,” Njau explained. “We take the allegations against Mr. Combs very seriously and find such behavior abhorrent and intolerable. We believe in victims’ rights, and support victims in speaking their truth, even against the most powerful of people.”
Including Cassie, four women have stepped forward accusing Combs of various degrees of physical and sexual assault. Rolling Stone reported that the fourth woman, a Jane Doe, alleged that former Bad Boy president, Harve Pierre, Puffy, and a third unidentified man gang-raped her. The incident allegedly occurred at a Manhattan recording studio in 2003 when the woman was 17. The lawsuit alleges that the victim was trafficked across state lines and given “copious amounts of drugs and alcohol.”
Legal documents detail that the woman and an unnamed friend were in Detroit before Pierre approached her. She alleged that he invited her to his private jet, where they traveled to the East Coast. Jane Doe claimed that during this time, she was drugged and raped.
Additionally, court reporter Meghann Cuniff shared photos along with the suit. She highlighted photos of Combs with an unidentified teenage girl sitting on his lap.
More graphic detail was shared in the report, with Doe recalling when the three men gang-raped her. Combs allegedly raped her in a bathroom as she “hung over the sink.” Doe claims the unidentified man traded places with Combs as she slipped in and out of consciousness. While the man abused her, Diddy allegedly stayed there and watched.
The suit alleges Pierre then subjected her to “nonconsensual vaginal sex.” He then finished by allegedly “violently forcing her to give him oral sex.”
