The pre-trial sparks continue to fly ahead of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Manhattan trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The accused rap mogul’s lawyers submitted a lengthy questionnaire for potential jurors asking about aversion to sex, drugs and violence ruffling the prosecution’s feathers.

In a Friday letter sent to Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs’ attorneys floated a questionnaire for potential jurors that asks in detail questions about adult situations and footage of real-life physical assault. The questionnaire will be distributed to those who responded to their jury summons to narrow the pool ahead of selection on May 5.

The nature of the questionnaire suggests that footage of the sex and drug-fueled multi-day so-called “freak-off” parties prosecutors described in their indictment of Combs will be shown to the jury at trial. Additionally, the leaked footage of a 2018 incident in which Combs is seen beating and dragging his then-girlfriend, R&b singer Cassie Ventura,...

Combs’s lawyers filed the subpoena in March seeking all of the unedited recordings from interviews with two individuals who appeared in the four-part documentary series, which premiered on Jan. 27. His team also sought any notes or journals sent to producers of the series and records of any payments that may have been made to the two individuals for their participation in the documentary, which looked at the rap mogul’s arrest on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

With jury selection beginning on May 5 and several deadlines approaching in Combs’ Manhattan trial, Warner Bros.

The woman who has been described as Sean “Diddy” Combs’ right hand has issued her first statement since being named in multiple lawsuits in association with her boss, fully denying that she ever “aided and abetted the sexual assault of anyone.”

The 37-year-old rose through the ranks of Combs’ company and was named as his chief of...

HBO'sThe Fall of Diddy is one of the best docuseries to come out in recent memory, taking a dark look at Diddy, aka Sean Combs' past, and how his allegations of long-hidden violence affected various people over time. The documentary did a phenomenal job of telling some of the tragic stories to the viewers, emphasizing Diddy's use of fame and money to carve his way to success.

The Assistant Season 1 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “The Fall of Diddy,” titled “The Assistant,” promises to delve deep into the complicated life of Phil Pines. This episode explores the darker side of working for a celebrity. Phil thought he had achieved his dream by becoming an executive assistant to Sean Combs, a figure he admired. However, his experience turned into a nightmare that left him haunted.

Viewers will see how Phil’s two years in this role were not what he expected. Instead of the glamorous lifestyle he envisioned, he faced troubling demands. The episode reveals that Phil alleges he was pushed into providing drugs and organizing extravagant parties known as Wild King Nights. These revelations paint a picture of a toxic work environment that challenges the idea of success in the entertainment industry.

From the toxic behind-the-scenes world of children’s television to the dark world of Sean Combs, Investigation Discovery is having a moment.

The Warner Bros. Discovery cable network picked up its first Primetime Emmy nominations last year for Quiet on Set, which included accusations against former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider of fostering a hostile work environment, and Lost Women with narrator Octavia Spencer. Elsewhere, The Curious Case of Natalia Grace is wrapping up its “trilogy” and The Fall of Diddy is making noise as allegations against the rapper pile up.

Jason Sarlanis, President of TNT, TBS, TruTV, ID & Hln, Linear and Streaming at Warner Bros. Discovery, talked up the network’s new “Docbuster” strategy, competing with big spending streamers and the ethics of true-crime, a genre that shows no sign of slowing down in a Deadline-moderated keynote session at the Realscreen event in Miami.

Accused murderer Karen Read and her lawyers are set to feature front and center in Investigation Discovery’s docuseries A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read.

ID’s latest true crime deep dive follows Read’s initial 2024 murder trial ending in a mistrial, and comes before a 2025 re-trial later this year. The ID and Max series will revisit the case of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe being found dead on a snowy morning in January 2022, and his girlfriend, Read, being charged in his murder.

During the first trial on vehicular homicide and manslaughter charges, prosecutors alleged Read backed her car into O’Keefe and ran him over in a fit of passion, and then left him to die in the snow. Read claimed her innocence and her lawyers alleged something far more nefarious, including an elaborate law enforcement coverup, was at play.

While J.Lo has been vocal about her struggles post-divorce, Affleck’s troubles with it have made the news as well. Nonetheless, it seems as though those days are in the past, as an insider revealed that the pair have steadily been growing closer again over the last couple of months.

The concept initially encountered some skepticism: What if you applied the investigative chops of seasoned reporters to the murky conservatorship constraining Britney Spears? Could anything new or insightful emerge from that process, given the swirl of media coverage that always surrounds the pop star?

But it was a combination that filmmaker Mary Robertson believed could be revelatory when she was the showrunner of The New York Times Presents — and it’s something she has been continuing to champion ever since. At the Nyt, that approach resulted in two hit films, Framing Britney Spears and Controlling Britney Spears, which reignited conversation around the pop star’s push to end her conservatorship and prompted responses from celebrities like Kacey Musgraves and Hayley Williams. At the production company that Robertson founded in March 2022, Maxine, a similar fusion of investigative journalism and popular figures and brands has paid dividends.
