When Sean Combs goes on trial for sex-trafficking charges beginning this week, the case could turn on disturbing video footage that the rap impresario’s defense team fought to keep out. The footage shows Combs assaulting and dragging an ex-girlfriend in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

Like Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly, Combs is accused by prosecutors of using his influence and wealth to coerce women into unwanted sexual activity and intimidate them into staying quiet for years.

Sean “Diddy” Combs admitted he was a “little nervous” in the run-up to his criminal trial, as the hip-hop mogul looked into the eyes of the potential jurors who will render a verdict on the sex trafficking and racketeering charges against him.
