Sean “Diddy” Combs fall from grace continues in the wake of four lawuits accusing him of sexual assault. His latest setback comes in the form of an axed reality show about his family.
Hulu was in the process of developing “Diddy + 7,” a reality series following his life as a celebrity father of seven. But with the music mogul facing multiple lawsuits for alleged sexual assault, Hulu has decided not to not move forward with the series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
James Corden’s production company Fulwell 73 was behind the project that was in the early stages of development. But that was before Combs was hit with three lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault among other violent claims.

The Bad Boy founder quickly settled the first lawsuit filed on Nov. 16 by his ex Cassie Ventura. The two reached an undisclosed settlement just 24 hours after Ventura filed the suit accusing Combs of rape, physical abuse, forcing her to take drugs, and engage in sexual encounters with male prostitutes that Combs would film.
Less than a week later, a woman by the name of Joi Dickerson-Neal filed a suit accusing Combs of having “drugged, sexually assaulted, and abused” her and subjecting her to “revenge porn” created and distributed by the hip-hop mogul. A third lawsuit was filed by a Jane Doe who claims Combs and R&B singer Aaron Hall took turns raping her and her friend at Hall’s apartment sometime between 1990 and 1991.
Most recently, another Jane Doe came forward to accuse Combs, Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre, and a third man of raping and sex trafficking her when she was 17.
Combs has denied all allegations and released a statement last week claiming “enough is enough.”
“FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE SAT SILENTLY AND WATCHED PEOPLE TRY TO ASSASSINATE MY CHARACTER, DESTROY MY REPUTATION AND MY LEGACY,” he wrote in all caps. “SICKENING ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST ME BY INDIVIDUALS LOOKING FOR A QUICK PAYDAY.”
“LET ME BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR,” he continued. “I DID NOT DO ANY OF THE AWFUL THINGS BEING ALLEGED. I WILL FIGHT FOR MY NAME, MY FAMILY AND FOR THE TRUTH. SEAN DIDDY COMBS.”
In addition to the axed Hulu
show, Combs has stepped down as Charmain at Revolt, had his charter school sever ties with him, saw a series of Black-owned companies separate themselves from a Black-owned marketplace he created, and has his 2024 Grammys invitation under “evaluation” amid the sexual assault claims.RELATED CONTENT: Grammys ‘Evaluating’ Diddy’s Invitation Amid Sexual Assault Claims
