Four Corners – “Diddy: In Plain Sight” Probes Power and Allegations, Sunday on ABC

Four Corners turns its focus to the music mogul now at the centre of an international reckoning. Diddy: In Plain Sight, airing Sunday 23 June at 8:30PM on ABC and ABC iview, investigates how Sean “Diddy” Combs rose to extraordinary influence while facing serious allegations of abuse—claims that, until recently, rarely made it past the headlines.

The film, originally commissioned by Channel 4 and directed by Gussy Sakula-Barry, is not just a biography—it’s an examination of power, protection, and silence. Drawing on testimony from women who have spoken out, legal filings, and never-before-seen material, the episode asks a sharper question: how did these allegations persist for so long without scrutiny—and who stood to gain from keeping them out of the spotlight?

Combs, currently on trial in the US over alleged sex trafficking, denies the claims. But as new lawsuits and public testimonies continue to surface, Four Corners interrogates the broader machinery that may have shielded his empire. It’s a case study in celebrity culture, institutional deference, and the cost of looking away.

For viewers of investigative true crime and those following the intersection of fame and accountability, this is a story still unfolding. Diddy: In Plain Sight doesn’t declare guilt—but it doesn’t back away from the hard questions either.

Four Corners: Diddy – In Plain Sight airs Sunday 23 June at 8:30PM on ABC and ABC iview.
