Episode 42: A Deep Dive into the Diddy Docuseries

Power and control shaped Diddy’s rise, but did they also reveal a long-standing pattern of abuse? In this episode, I sat down with Emmy-winning journalist Mara S. Campo to unpack the allegations, the fallout, and what it means when survivors finally feel safe enough to speak.

Mara, a contributor to the docuseries Fall of Diddy, shared what struck her most—the sheer weight of the stories, the patterns that surfaced long before fame, and the emotional toll of confronting uncomfortable truths. How do we reconcile admiration for a cultural icon with the reality of horrific accusations? What happens when the image we once celebrated no longer holds up?

This episode isn’t just about Diddy. It’s about the power dynamics that keep survivors silent, the fear that stops them from coming forward, and the cultural shift toward finally believing survivors.
