A press release for the upcoming docuseries reads: ‘Through these interviews combined with a vast collection of archival footage, The Fall of Diddy paints a holistic picture of a mogul who is alleged to have wielded his extensive power and influence to obscure, for decades, a pattern of abuse and violence that left an unprecedented amount of pain and suffering in his wake.’
Two of Diddy’s accusers were featured in the trailer including Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones and Thalia Graves who have each sued the rapper for sexual misconduct.
Jones had one of the strongest moments of the clip as he says at the end: ‘It’s a lot of people like [Combs] in the music business.

One of the most interesting parts of the trailer came when a woman sat down in the interview chair while in the dark with their identity hidden.
She said: ‘The truth will always find its way, even in the dark.’
Adding to the intrigue, ID also says that there will also be ‘accounts from new voices yet to be announced, including those coming forward for the first time with deeply disturbing accounts of their encounters with Combs.’
The music mogul remains in federal custody at the notoriously tough Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City awaiting trial.
Combs has pleaded not guilty, and in a recent report from Page Six he was said to have appeared in court ‘astonishingly thinner’ and ‘greyer,’ after months away from the lavish lifestyle he and his family were accustomed to.
Following a months-long investigation by authorities, he was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution – all of which he denies – and a trial date has been set for May 5.
Combs was placed on suicide watch during his first week in custody, but was taken off of it shortly after, with his lawyer claiming his client was ‘focused and very strong.’
He faces a string of sex charges alongside renewed allegations, including a new lawsuit alleging sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl.

The new legal filing seen by DailyMail.com claims Diddy had allegedly ‘aggressively approached’ the young girl with a ‘crazed look in his eyes’ before sexually assaulting her.
She claims an unidentified male celebrity also raped her while Diddy and an unnamed female celebrity watched.
The rapper has denied the allegations. His attorneys told DailyMail.com he ‘never sexually assaulted anyone’ and said the most recent ‘barrage of filings’ were nothing but ‘clear attempts to garner publicity.’
