Hulu has scrapped a reality television show centered around the family of Sean “Diddy” Combs due to multiple lawsuits accusing the music mogul of sexual assault.
According to Variety, the series, titled “Diddy+7,” which was set to follow Combs and his seven children, was in its early planning stages. Filming had not yet begun. The show’s cancellation comes amid a series of sexual assault allegations against Diddy.
His former girlfriend, singer, and model Cassie kicked off the list of lawsuits against Diddy last month. In her federal lawsuit, Cassie accused the mogul of rape and physical abuse during their decade-long relationship. The case was settled a day after filing, with Diddy’s attorney, Ben Brafman, emphasizing that the settlement did not imply wrongdoing. Since then, three additional lawsuits have been filed against the “Last Night” performer.
Joie Dickerson-Neal, Liza Gardner, and an unidentified Jane Doe have all claimed to have been abused by Diddy during the height of his musical career. He has recently requested that Doe’s identity be made public after she accused him of raping her when she was still in high school.
Since “Diddy+7” was still in its early stages, no anticipated release date had been unveiled. However, the move is now a grim testament to how the mounting legal issues are beginning to trickle down to Diddy’s family. In addition to this latest development, more business dealings are slipping away from the Bad Boy founder. Days ago, it was revealed that eighteen businesses had stopped working with Diddy’s e-commerce website, Empower Global.
Diddy has denied any wrongdoing.
