Episode Details

Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly rushed to the hospital hours after prosecutors file a superseding indictment in his federal racketeering case. The disgraced rap mogul now accused of criminal activity spanning two decades, and sex trafficking two more victims in addition to ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. In addition to the amended indictment, more alleged victims are coming forward in lawsuits, claiming sexual assault at the hands of Combs.   

Combs transported from the Metropolitan Detention Center to the Brooklyn Hospital center under the cover of darkness to avoid whispers and speculation from other inmates and prison staffers. Combs’ undergoes an MRI, but does not require an overnight stay. Diddy is returned to the prison a few hours later.  

The MRI reportedly authorized because Combs has been complaining about an old knee injury. Diddy has reportedly had knee problems for decades after running the 2003 New York marathon. Combs injured his knee in the just six weeks he trained for the marathon. Combs’, accompanied by undercover cops, participated in the race for his fundraiser, “Diddy Runs the City,” that ultimately garnered $2 million for New York public schools and children suffering from HIV and AIDS. Combs finished in four hours and 15 minutes, reaching his goal of beating Oprah Winfrey, who previously completed the Marine Corps Marathon in four and a half hours.   

Ahead of his May trial, Federal prosecutors have amended the indictment against Sean Diddy Combs. Combs is still accused of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution, but two more women have been added to the last charge, referred to as Victims 2 and 3 throughout the document. According to the new filing, Combs “used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims, including but not limited to three female victims” to engage in commercial sex acts. 

The superseding indictment is very similar to the original filed in September, but in addition to accusing Combs of trafficking more women, it also extends the time frame of his alleged racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors first accused the mogul of using ‘Combs Enterprises’ as a 'criminal organization' responsible for kidnapping and drug-related crimes as far back as 2008, but they now allege the illegal activity began four years earlier, meaning Combs’ pattern of abuse has gone on uninterrupted for two DECADES.  

The amended indictment expands the list of drugs Combs and his associates are accused of distributing, which initially included cocaine, ketamine, and oxycodone. Now, methamphet-amine and magic mushrooms have been added to the list of substances. Combs is accused of trying to encourage women to have sex by plying them with substances including ketamine and ecstasy, often without their knowledge or consent. Prosecutors also say he offered the women money and promises to help them advance their careers if they participated in his Freak Offs.  

The superseding indictment appears to include the allegation from fashion designer Bryana Bongolan that Diddy dangled her over the edge of a 17th-floor balcony, listing it as just one example of how Combs used force to combat threats to his reputation. Just months after beating Cassie Ventura at the Intercontinental Hotel, Bongolan claims an intoxicated Combs let himself into Ventura’s apartment, looking for his girlfriend, but only found Bongolan, who had spent the night there. Enraged, Diddy grabbed Bongolan by the armpits, dangled her off the edge of the balcony and threatened to drop her until Ventura happened to arrive home and put a stop to the incident.  Combs once again vehemently denies all of the allegations in the revised indictment.
