There was a time when summer for Sean “Diddy” Combs meant throwing lavish parties and getting captured in paparazzi photos on yachts. This summer, the only images the public saw of him were courtroom sketches.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, his family and supporters clapped and cheered, after jurors reached a split verdict in his federal sex-trafficking trial, stopping short of convicting the hip-hop impresario on more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking charges.

For nearly two years, a nearly nonstop parade of allegations and revelations has ravaged and unraveled Sean “Diddy” Combs’ carefully cultivated reputation as an affable celebrity entrepreneur, A-list party host, Grammy-winning artist and music executive, brand ambassador and reality TV star.
