Mayor Eric Adams has revoked Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s key to NYC following allegations of assault and sexual misconduct. The key, given to individuals who exemplify the highest level of achievement and service to the public, was returned after Adams condemned Combs’s actions in a letter on June 4th. This revocation comes after surveillance video surfaced of Combs kicking R&B singer Cassie Ventura in 2016, leading Howard University to strip him of his honorary degree and return his $1 million donation. The university deemed Combs unworthy of their highest honor due to the video’s inconsistencies with their core values. Additionally, Hulu has decided against producing a reality show featuring Combs’s family. These actions highlight a growing trend of accountability for individuals accused of domestic and gender-based violence, emphasizing the importance of standing in solidarity with survivors.
