00:00This is the type of indictment you would expect from someone in the mafia.

00:03I don't know that I could keep him off the stand.

00:05He is very eager to tell his story.

00:08They're going to show that video over and over and over

00:11about what happens to women that won't change their stories.

00:15His reputation is over.

00:17The United States government, they start making this case

00:20as a takedown of a successful black man.

00:24TMZ presents The Downfall of Diddy, The Indictment, now streaming on Tubi.

00:30We have been talking for months about the fact that,

00:32with very, very few exceptions,

00:35everyone in Hollywood, in show business,

00:37has been pretty quiet about what's going on with Diddy.

00:40About the allegations, about the indictment.

00:43Really, since the raids.

00:45Actually, you can even go back to the Cassie lawsuit.

00:48He has been radioactive.

00:50People have, like, literally run away.

00:52Not literally.

00:52Figuratively run away from Diddy.

00:54That's how mad, right?

00:55Well, they run away.

00:56Sometimes literally run away from the questions.

00:58Right.

00:58Ray J is one person who did talk a little bit about it,

01:01but Bow Wow now is offering a different perspective.

01:04One, it's pretty controversial.

01:06That has actually already gotten him a lot of blowback.

01:09He was on a podcast called More to the Story with Roxy Diaz

01:14and talked about where Diddy's story has gone now

01:18and the fact that he is sitting in a detention center in Brooklyn

01:23where he will remain, at the very least,

01:25until his trial begins next May.

01:28So, this was not what I expected to hear.

01:33I'm shocked.

01:33From someone who, clearly, this has been going on for months.

01:36There's no way that Bow Wow doesn't know

01:38the nature of the allegations against Diddy.

01:41Yet, this is what he said he is longing for.

01:45I would have never thought it would,

01:48if it is the end, it would be,

01:49this would be the story of how it would end.

01:51It ain't gonna end like this.

01:52I would never thought that it would,

01:54we would see him in this position, ever.

01:57Even with all the rumors that I've always circulated.

02:00Never.

02:01Just never thought I'd see it like this.

02:03He's like the gatekeeper to the game.

02:05To the point to where, what weekends has he had?

02:08Like, BET Awards weekend, it didn't,

02:10like the past two, they just didn't feel right.

02:12Because there was no motion.

02:13There was no parties.

02:15There was nowhere to go.

02:16Like...

02:17Let's be very specific between parties and freak outs.

02:19No, the industry, like the parties that we attend.

02:22Like, there's me, the you, the terraces, the...

02:26I left before, before one.

02:29He was just such a gatekeeper for them.

02:30The liquor in the clubs, the mo...

02:34He was everything, hip hop.

02:36Wow.

02:37He misses Diddy parties.

02:38Obviously the thing that everyone's calling him out for

02:40is just saying it's tone deaf, right?

02:41That it's not understanding what the tone is now

02:45and what people are remembering about parties

02:48and what they...

02:49Right.

02:50To like, remember longingly about these parties

02:53where awful things allegedly happened, Charles.

02:56Yeah, it's very close.

02:57It's tone deaf, but we don't want to go too far, right?

03:00I mean, he's not suggesting that the abuse of women

03:02that's been alleged is happening.

03:04Right, he's not saying that.

03:04What he's saying is that there was a...

03:06He waxes a little nostalgic

03:08about sort of fun parties with Diddy,

03:10but at the same time sort of seems to recognize

03:13that this isn't something he wants to lean in too hard on.

03:16Kind of tiptoes into it, trying to parse the difference.

03:19It's almost like he's trying to say,

03:20like he feels sorry for Diddy and what he's going through.

03:24And I think we're all shocked.

03:25This is a guy who was just as big

03:28and as powerful in the music industry

03:30as you could possibly be.

03:31So yeah, we're all shocked.

03:32I want to give Roxy Diaz some credit there

03:34because she did push back a little bit.

03:36She did.

03:36And say, but you know, you're remembering this

03:42like it was a really wonderful thing.

03:44It's a bit strange.

03:44But there are still these allegations.

03:46I know, think of some terrible day, Charles,

03:48and to remember longingly about that time.

03:50It's something strange.

03:52Look, I think what you're actually hearing

03:54from Bow Wow there is exactly the reason

03:56why we haven't heard anybody talking about Diddy.

04:00Because if you do talk about it, you don't want to,

04:03because he's not been convicted.

04:05These are allegations.

04:06He'll have his day in court.

04:07Right, he denies it all.

04:08And at this point, he's denying it.

04:10But of course, we have all seen the Cassie video.

04:13So there's judgment that has been passed there.

04:15You think that's why?

04:16Do you think a lot of people would remember it like this?

04:17They don't want to talk about it.

04:18Because you don't want to slam him

04:21because he hasn't been convicted.

04:22But if you, as Bow Wow did, sort of remember the good old days,

04:26then people will say that you're not being

04:29sensitive to the alleged victim.

04:30Kind of a lose-lose.

04:31There's obviously also the added component

04:34of what if he is ultimately acquitted

04:37and comes back and wants to be part of the music scene?

04:40You think there might be a little fear of some people

04:42that they don't want to run afoul of him during this time?

04:44That's something we've heard.

04:45That there could be retribution in a business sense.

04:48We've heard that about witnesses coming forward

04:50and they're worried about what could happen

04:51on the other side of things.

04:52So I think that's a legit concern.

04:53Yeah.

04:54So him saying it like this, again, this is why you just,

04:58I think that's why we have not heard a lot of celebrities

05:02wanting to weigh in at all on it.

05:03But that was Bow Wow's take.

05:05By the way, we should tell you about the,

05:08we told you yesterday about the Tony Busby, the attorney,

05:11and his clients who had filed lawsuits yesterday.

05:13There were six that were filed yesterday.

05:16And who knows what's to come today.

05:18But late yesterday, we got a response from Diddy's team

05:22to the first wave of lawsuits.

05:24This is what they said in reference

05:27to Tony Busby specifically.

05:29The press conference and 1-800 number

05:31that preceded today's barrage of filings

05:34were clear attempts to garner publicity.

05:37In court, the truth will prevail that Mr. Combs

05:40has never sexually assaulted anyone,

05:42adult or minor, man or woman.

05:46A reference to one of the plaintiffs yesterday

05:48was said that they were 16 at the time.

05:50So that's their response, which you would expect.

05:54And maybe that response is true.

05:56It's just getting to the point, Charles.

05:58There's so many of these things mounting now.

06:00The problem that Diddy has when he responds to these things

06:03and says it's all untrue, everyone immediately

06:06in their head, they go, that's what he said

06:08when Cassie filed her lawsuit.

06:09And he looks like a liar.

06:10And then we saw that video.

06:12And that video is going to keep coming up like that.

06:15And it'll certainly come up during the federal trial.

06:18It makes him look like he's an untruthful person.

06:21And remember, he's not being prosecuted for that,

06:24what happened in that video.

06:25But it is certainly going to come into play

06:28with almost every allegation against him.

06:30Hi, I'm Keisha Miles from Houston, Texas.

06:33And I wanted to weigh in on the Bow Wow comments.

06:37You know, it may be time for little Bow Wow

06:39to grow up into a big dog

06:41and take these Diddy allegations a bit more seriously.

06:44You know, the audacity for him to just be concerned

06:47about parties when we have so many serious

06:52and violent allegations out here for Diddy right now.

06:55It just was an insensitive comment to me.

06:57Yeah, I think that's really the,

07:01that's the key word, insensitive.

07:03And that's how it landed.
