At its height, Sean "Diddy" Combs's Bad Boy Entertainment was a show business powerhouse, mixing music, video, fashion, liquor and style into a business that made Combs a billionaire. Was it really a criminal enterprise?
Before there were influencers, Fonzworth Bentley became famous for being adjacent to the influential — namely Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In a sweeping indictment that accuses Combs of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, prosecutors allege the same business empire that nearly made Combs a billionaire also enabled him to illegally coerce women into sex and conceal his illicit conduct to protect his reputation.
Jurors were shown how expenses related to the “freak-offs” were paid for by the mogul’s companies, as well as text and phone records surrounding a 2016 assault.
With Sean Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering trial entering its sixth week, much of the closely guarded case is now public record. Jurors have sat through days of highly emotional testimony from the two principal alleged victims, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and a recent ex-girlfriend testifying under the pseudonym “Jane.”
