Overview

• Simon & Schuster removed Do You Believe Me Now? from its website and postponed its release after creative disagreements over material about Sean “Diddy” Combs.
• The memoir was originally pitched as an exposé claiming Diddy’s involvement in Al B. Sure!’s 2022 coma and questioning the official cause of Kim Porter’s death.
• Attorney Robert J. Hantman says the singer refused publisher requests to deepen the focus on additional Diddy allegations.
• Hantman has launched an investigation into possible outside interference and is considering hiring private investigator Bo Dietl.
• Sean “Diddy” Combs, convicted in July of transportation for prostitution and facing sentencing in October, has not publicly responded to the memoir’s claims.
