Sean “Diddy” Combs walked into a Manhattan courtroom hoping for a redemption arc.
He left with 50 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine — because this time, the court listened to the women first.
In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy’s sentencing — from Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter to the government’s demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge’s refusal to let branding outweigh violence.

-
📄 Cassie’s full letter, detailing years of control, violence, and coerced “freak-offs”
- 📽️ The 11-minute courtroom video montage Diddy’s team used to sell his image — and why it didn’t work
- 🧠 The psychological tactics behind Diddy’s apology and courtroom performance
- ⚖️ Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik’s powerful takedown: “a master puppeteer of his own image”
