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.

00:30There are another series of lawsuits that have just been filed against Diddy,

00:36seven of them to be exact.

00:38Several involve minors, but the new thing is that now other celebrities

00:45have been named in these lawsuits, named in connection with these freak-offs.

00:50Right, that they are alleged involvement of other celebrities.

00:54A total of five lawsuits filed in federal court and two in New York state.

00:58One of them does mention two celebrities that were involved in,

01:03according to this lawsuit, a rape, a drugging of a young woman

01:09who says that she was 13 at the time, but that there were,

01:15not only was she in this suit, she alleges raped by Diddy,

01:19but while two celebrities were at first watching Diddy commit that rape,

01:24and then one of the celebrities actually raped her as well.

01:28Now what is interesting about this case is that they are not naming the celebrities.

01:33They are listed as celebrity one and celebrity two.

01:38There is a reason behind that, and it's something,

01:40we're actually doing a third Diddy documentary,

01:43and we're really diving deep into this issue,

01:46which is that there have been, there's been a lot of activity

01:50where lawyers for alleged victims have contacted celebrities

01:56who have been at these freak-offs over the years,

01:59because we're talking 20 years,

02:01and they are contacting them saying that either you were there,

02:06you watched, you participated,

02:08and there are settlements that we're told are going down right now,

02:13where celebrities, whether they feel they did anything right or wrong,

02:16they just don't want their names connected with this,

02:19and they're settling these already.

02:21So this has become a big thing,

02:23in a swirl in the middle of all of these lawsuits.

02:28Yeah, you know, we've been thinking about this for a long time,

02:30ever since we found out that the feds had seized all of the videotapes

02:34that had allegedly been taken within Diddy's homes during the freak-offs,

02:39and the possible threat that was to other people who were there,

02:42whether or not they were doing anything illegal or not.

02:44This is another sort of pillar of that offense

02:48against potential celebrities who were involved in these activities,

02:51again, whether legal or illegal.

02:53Now they're being named, although currently kept anonymous,

02:57but it eventually would have to come out if the lawsuits proceed.

03:01There's a great threat that these celebrities are going to be named,

03:04and, you know, they know who they are,

03:06if they were involved, I'm sure it's terrifying.

03:08Well, Dave Chasen, we should also say that there's a strategy

03:12with the lawyers representing these alleged victims,

03:14that there's a reason they didn't name these celebrities.

03:18They could have easily just named them, right?

03:20Yeah, once the names are out there, the settlement value goes way down,

03:23because the allegations are what they fear.

03:24So as long as the names are kept quiet for now,

03:28the settlement value is much higher.
