‘Bad Boy’ reputation catches up with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Fox News' Chanley Painter on Combs' trial date set for May 2025 and the lengthy prison time the artist is facing if found guilty.
Sean "Diddy" Combs has been a well-known face in the music industry for nearly three decades, founding Bad Boy Entertainment in 1993. However, his legacy has quickly become tarnished due to the major allegations continuing to mount against him.
The lawsuits that have been filed against him include accusations stemming from the early ’90s, as he rose to fame, and the decades following. Still, this recent slew of legal troubles started last November.
At the time, his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, filed a civil suit against him, alleging he raped her in 2018 and subsequently subjected her to years-long abuse. Though Combs denied any wrongdoing in the matter, Ventura’s suit was settled out of court for $30 million the day after filing it.

However, even before Ventura’s lawsuit, Comb’s former personal chef, Cindy Rueda, filed a lawsuit in 2017 claiming sexual harassment and retaliation. This lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount in February 2019.
