Diddy threatens Vibe magazine editor
In an excerpt from the upcoming docuseries, the editor revealed, “After the shoot, Mr Combs wanted to see the covers before they were published. It was policy for us not to show the covers to anyone before they were published,” as reported by Daily Mail. Smith shared that he telephoned her to complain when teh rapper followed his conversation with the threat.
She said, “I told him that I wouldn't be making an exception and he said that he would see me dead in a trunk if I did not show it to him.” When she asked Diddy to “take that back,” the mogul said, “he wasn't taking s*** back,” after which she had to enlist her lawyer. However, Diddy had denied past allegations made by Smith.
The Vibe magazine editor added, “My attorney called him to say that if he didn't immediately fax over an apology, my attorney was going to reach out to law enforcement. It took about 90 minutes to two hours and I received that faxed apology.” After the fact, Smith learned that Diddy had also sent people to intimidate her over the issue.
She shared, “I've only recently come to realize - through the members of the staff at that time - that he had actually, in the days before, come up to the Vibe offices with two tough guys looking for me.” She first opened up about this incident with The New York Times last summer.
