Sean “Diddy” Combs, the music mogul and entrepreneur, has announced his decision to step down as the chairman of the Revolt media network. This move follows allegations of sexual abuse raised against Combs in several lawsuits.
A spokesperson for Combs confirmed that he made the decision last week, although the specific timeline for his return remains unclear. The decision to step aside comes in response to the allegations and the impact they have had on the network.
One of the consequences of Combs’ departure is seen in the Revolt podcast, where co-host Dawn Montgomery has declared that she will not participate in a new season as long as Combs continues to be associated with the network. Montgomery, the host of “Monuments to Me,” a podcast focusing on Black women’s issues and successes, stated that, as a survivor of sexual assault, she cannot be part of a show that is supposed to uplift Black women while Combs is still in a leadership position within the company.
The allegations against Combs have raised questions about the future of Revolt and its leadership. The music industry and media landscape continue to grapple with issues of accountability and addressing allegations of misconduct, with Combs’ decision to step down from Revolt being the latest development in this ongoing conversation.
