Last fall, stars assembled in London at the over-the-top clubstaurant Lavo to celebrate one of their own. At the center of it all was Sean "Diddy" Combs. It was the mogul's 54th birthday party, as well as a celebration of his "The Love Album." As far as partygoers and paparazzi could tell, he was on top of the world. Behind the scenes that November, though, Combs' life was about to start crumbling.
Key Details
- Over the next 12 months, Combs went from being one of the richest music moguls in history to being behind bars, facing a criminal indictment, dozens of civil lawsuits, and an empire in decline.
- Combs has vehemently and consistently denied all accusations of sexual assault and sex trafficking since Ventura's lawsuit was filed.
- And more criminal charges may be coming, as prosecutors have said grand jurors are weighing a new indictment that could include allegations of obstruction of justice.
