Combs’ public image projected wealth and achievement, but the indictment that led to his arrest paints a more sinister picture of his private life.

During his court hearing on September 18, Diddy’s text messages to Ventura and other women were read by prosecutors, who argued that he had a ‘long-standing pattern of abuse.’

What comes next for the 54-year-old music mogul? And what about the employees and associates accused of conspiring with him?

Combs, who is facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, is currently being held in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center on suicide watch, after his arrest in Manhattan Monday and subsequent bail denial, according to People.

“An NDA can’t prevent you from testifying pursuant to a lawfully issued subpoena,” Rahmani, now the president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, says. “And NDAs are not enforceable in sexual assault or sexual harassment cases.” Combs has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.

Most recently Diddy was at center of a new sexual assault lawsuit filed by his former bandmate Dawn Richard last week. Richard’s complaint marked at least the eighth brought against him since Ventura’s. Similar complaints were also made from other accusers, including Liza Gardner, Joi Dickerson-Neal and Crystal McKinney.

The sweeping indictment alleged years of sex trafficking and conspiracy, to which he pleaded not guilty before a federal magistrate ordered him jailed without bail as he awaits trial.
