- 0:00Speaker 1: The arrest of Sean Combs, known as Ditty, is the
- 0:03Speaker 1: largest scandal to rock the entertainment industry since Harvey Weinstein's
- 0:07Speaker 1: fall from grace. Already, we're seeing different stars make drastic
- 0:10Speaker 1: moves to cover their involvement, with new pictures and videos
- 0:13Speaker 1: surfacing almost daily that expose more lurid details of the
- 0:16Speaker 1: music mogul's famous parties. This is just the beginning, and
- 0:19Speaker 1: already major careers are being ruined. So how bad will
- 0:23Speaker 1: this get for Hollywood. Kevin Hart, one of the most
- 0:25Speaker 1: prolific stars today in everything from multiple Buddy comedies with
- 0:29Speaker 1: Dwayne the Rock Johnson to most recently border Lands, is
- 0:33Speaker 1: already seeing his stars start to fall. Caught on video
- 0:36Speaker 1: hosting a freak off event, going on a hard n
- 0:39Speaker 1: word powered rant, and laughing over a woman's hair catching fire.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Heart isn't catching strays from the arrest of Ditty, and
- 0:45Speaker 1: there's video evidence floating around social media that shows he
- 0:49Speaker 1: was a willing participant. Heart's squeaky clean Hollywood image has
- 0:53Speaker 1: taken a hit. He already closed down all of his restaurants,
- 0:56Speaker 1: with social media speculation that it was done because he
- 0:59Speaker 1: knew the storm that was about to arrive and wanted
- 1:01Speaker 1: to liquidate assets. So is his career now over? He's
- 1:05Speaker 1: not the only one going into damage control as now. Usher,
- 1:09Speaker 1: a mainstay on NBC's The Voice and a former Super
- 1:11Speaker 1: Bowl halftime performer, has deleted every single one of his
- 1:15Speaker 1: social media posts following Ditty's arrest. This comes as social
- 1:19Speaker 1: media sloths are piecing together the singer's relationship with the Mogul,
- 1:23Speaker 1: including introducing a young Justin Bieber to Ditty. As now,
- 1:27Speaker 1: the question on everyone's minds is what did Usher know?
- 1:31Speaker 1: Usher claims that he was hacked and that the hacker
- 1:33Speaker 1: deleted his posts and replaced them with crypto scams. In
- 1:36Speaker 1: his defense, other stars had a similar incident over the weekend,
- 1:39Speaker 1: including Pink and Megan Fox. But the timing is a
- 1:42Speaker 1: little convenient. When the Ditty case goes to trial, will
- 1:46Speaker 1: Usher's name come up as a conspirator, a blackmail victim,
- 1:49Speaker 1: or as someone who chose the wrong friend. To say
- 1:51Speaker 1: that Ditty had powerful friends and associates in Hollywood prior
- 1:54Speaker 1: to his arrest would be an understatement, as attending his
- 1:57Speaker 1: famous white party was once seen as an actor of
- 2:00Speaker 1: passage for up and coming stars. The Mogul was also
- 2:03Speaker 1: once in a very public relationship with Jennifer Lopez, so now,
- 2:07Speaker 1: following the Department of Justice's arrest, there's fresh speculation that
- 2:12Speaker 1: Jenny from the Block was aware of what was going on.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Lopez hasn't made any public statements as of yet, but
- 2:18Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine her former fiance didn't include her.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Amid reports that celebrities are hunkering down and waiting to
- 2:24Speaker 1: see what the government's next move is. The speculation is
- 2:27Speaker 1: waffling between this being a move to protect their brands
- 2:31Speaker 1: or fear of Ditty's retaliation following the arrest. With the
- 2:34Speaker 1: Kevin Hart video surfacing, it's not crazy to think that
- 2:37Speaker 1: the founder of Bad Boys Records has video and photos
- 2:40Speaker 1: of other celebrities gone wild, So who's next. Unfortunately, all
- 2:44Speaker 1: that can be done now is to speculate, but that
- 2:46Speaker 1: hasn't stopped social media users from going over all of
- 2:49Speaker 1: Ditty's old interviews some decades before his arrest, looking for
- 2:54Speaker 1: clues as to how deep this goes. Will he start
- 2:57Speaker 1: to name names and take everyone down with him, Will he,
- 3:00Speaker 1: like Epstein, never make it to trial. The only thing
- 3:03Speaker 1: that can be said for certain is that the silence
- 3:05Speaker 1: coming from the Hollywood elite today is deafening,
