What we know now about Sean 'Diddy' Combs' pre-trial court appearance
Sean "Diddy" Combs was in court for a pre-trial hearing in his federal sex crimes case. What was decided in today's hearing? Here is what we know now.
Looking to brush up on the Diddy case via a documentary before the rapper's high-profile trial? There are no shortage of options.
Ever since Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested in 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, various networks and streaming services have explored the allegations against him in a series of documentaries. Some lean into commentary from experts to provide context about Combs' rise and fall, and many include new interviews with members of the hip-hop mogul's inner circle.
There are more where those came from, too. Another documentary about Combs produced by 50 Cent is in the works for Netflix, without a confirmed release date.
Combs has denied all of the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all the criminal charges he faces.
Before Combs' trial begins, here's a look at the most notable documentaries about his sex crimes case and where to watch them.

"'Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy' sheds light on his childhood, rise to fame, and recent criminal allegations, challenging viewers to rethink everything they thought they knew about the mogul behind the music — and the mugshot," the synopsis says.
Revelations from the documentary included former Da Band member Sara Rivers alleging Combs "touched me in a place that he shouldn't have." "That was inappropriate, and I felt intimidated," Rivers said. "I'm definitely nervous. ... I haven't said anything for so long, and it's built up."
"Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy" is available to stream on Peacock.
How to watch 'Secret Life of Diddy'
This 43-minute documentary was a special edition of "20/20" and is described as a look at Combs' "shocking arrest" and "downfall."
Interview subjects include Tiffany Red, a friend of Ventura. In the documentary, Red, who wrote a letter supporting Ventura's abuse allegations in 2023, alleged she witnessed Combs being "explosive" and rageful around Ventura.
"My sense was that everyone around him was afraid of him," Red said.
The special is available to stream on Hulu.

MoreWhile critics have weighed in on the F1 movie, very little has been spoken about the official song and the artists who composed it. Now, Ed Sheeran has opened up about his song 'Drive,' sharing how he enjoys making songs for movies and how his past association with F1 just made everything better. He wrote: "I got asked to do a song for the F1 movie. I knew that I wanted to make a proper rock song for it, a proper driving song. something you'd wanna turn up to the fullest amount whilst driving. I wrote it in the studio with Blake Slatkin and John Mayer, then we got Pino Palladino and Dave Grohl to be the final jigsaw pieces of the song. Pure dream team for the genre of rock, and I really feel what we created fits the scene in the movie so well. [sic] "I LOVE making songs for movies, ever since I did I See Fire for The Hobbit. It really lets me as a movie fan, behind the curtain, help create the perfect song for a scene in a movie. Movies and art are the only hobbies outside of music I really have, and I love my time at the F1 whenever I get to go play there. So this was like a match made in heaven. I'm so honoured to work with such great musicians on it, and hope you guys love the end result. drive out now" [sic] Ed Sheeran performed at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix last year and revealed that he was a big F1 fan. However, most of his knowledge about the sport came from Netflix's Drive to Survive docuseries, which he described as the "best crash course" for F1. He said: "I watched all of Drive to Survive and I guess that's like the best crash course that you can do in it is just watch that and most people that I know that love it now are into it through that. "I'm just about to do the hot lap with George Russell which will be fun. I met Verstappen last time who was lovely. I'm meeting Leclerc later and yeah, it's good."
