The Fall of Diddy co-director reflects on collecting testimonies from Diddy's assault victims
Emma Schwartz from Maxine Productions, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, published on January 27, 2025, remembers climbing an uphill to find people from Diddy's assault survivors and members of his inner circle. Schwartz said,
"I do think the fear has been incredibly palpable for so many people — even those who came forward and those who came close to and are not yet ready — in a very, very tangible way and, at least from my experience, that I have not felt as acutely before."
Another co-director, Yoruba Richen, revealed that the fall of Sean Combs could only be documented upon narrating the story of his rise to fame and becoming the music Mogul. He said,
"You can't talk about who this man, who he affected, and the allegations without talking about his rise because he was singular in terms of his influence."
Maxine Productions has earlier produced the five-part docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, documenting the assault and abuse in the kids entertainment industry.
