Following a number of sexual assault claims against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Hulu has decided to put on hold the production of a reality show called “Diddy + 7,” which was to focus on his family. While the James Corden-produced Fulwell 73 show was still in its early stages, Hulu made the decision.

Lawsuits Cast a Shadow Over Diddy’s Reality Show
Several cases of sexual assault have been filed against Diddy. The first was by Casandra Ventura, who used to be with singer Cassie and Combs. Ventura accused Diddy of rape and abuse for more than ten years. The case ended soon after Diddy’s lawyer said he wasn’t guilty.
In a later case, it was claimed that Diddy “drugged, sexually assaulted, and abused” Joi Dickerson-Neal. The lawsuit also said that Diddy was responsible for “revenge porn” that happened without her permission.
In a third lawsuit, Jane Doe claims that R&B musicians Aaron Hall and Diddy sexually assaulted her and her friends in 1990 and 1991. Another Jane Doe says that Diddy, Harve Pierre, and a third man raped her when she was 17 years old and not yet an adult.

Diddy denies the claims and says he will fight back.
As the accusations against Diddy grew, he took to Instagram to show his anger and insist that he was innocent. He said, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” and he accused people of trying to hurt his reputation to make money.
When asked about the “sickening allegations,” Diddy strongly rejected them and said he would protect his name, family, and the truth. The lawsuits against Diddy are part of a larger trend of lawsuits against well-known people in the entertainment business since New York state law changed.
Some famous actors and actresses, like Jamie Foxx, Axl Rose, and Cuba Gooding Jr., have been sued in similar ways under New York’s new law, which gives people who believe they were sexually abused one year to file a claim before the statute of limitations runs out.
