Full Episode
It almost makes you wonder if all of these trials of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein and all of this, if it's really just like the sacrificial lambs to keep the system still going. Right. And to placate people into thinking things are getting better, things are changing. Right. Well, well, well, we are gathered here today, joined by the hosts of Beyond the Blinds, Kelly and Troy.
Thank you so much for joining us for a very special episode to unpack all things Sean Diddy Combs. Sean Combs? Puff Daddy? Diddy Love or whatever? Daddy? Bad Boy? There is a lot, I think, that we don't know about Sean Diddy Combs, okay? And, I mean, is it Sean Diddy Combs? It's whatever. It's really whatever you want it to be. Is it?
Oh, I didn't realize, is Diddy a real part of his name? I thought it was a nickname. Well, yeah, but he goes by that. Yeah. Got it. It's like Colin Jenner. Like, Diddy's on his birth certificate. No. No. Oh. Sean Combs. Sean Combs is his legal name. Got it, okay. But he's gone by many, many different names, as narcissists tend to do.
Right. We're starting at the very beginning, everybody. We're starting at what is on the birth certificate. Yeah, yeah.
I think we have a lot of questions. about what exactly he did, how he became the person he became. And we put out a call out on our Instagram and we were flooded with questions. So I think what we're doing is bringing on two experts. Tori and Kelly, you guys have unpacked the entire Diddy case on your podcast. You recapped the Peacock documentary on your Patreon.
I've heard it's an incredible episode. So I feel like you guys are the perfect experts to come on and solve these mysteries with us, right? Yeah. Well, thank you. Thank you for having us. We're excited to be back.
Yeah, you're welcome. OK, so this is what Diddy is charged with, according to the federal indictment. Combs, along with other members and associates of his enterprise, committed crimes including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice. So before we get to his crimes, I would love to start at the very beginning, which is his childhood.
You know, what made Diddy the person he is today? I watched the Peacock documentary and I was struck by the fact that he really grew up without a father. His dad was a gangster who unwittingly gave information to an undercover police officer about the gang he was a part of. And then it's thought that he was killed by that gang. He was shot in his car.
So a very, very sad, tragic story of no parental father figure. And then another thing in the documentary that struck me was He grew up in a house where there was a lot of illicit activity, it seems like. There was a boy his age and he's interviewed on the documentary that lived with them. And he said, you know, you would walk into a room and you would see two naked adults.
