Sean "Diddy" Combs, the founder and chairman of Revolt TV, has announced that he will temporarily step aside from his role at the media company amid a series of lawsuits involving him and his former girlfriend, singer Cassie. Combs said in a statement that he will focus on his personal and legal matters, while Colin McIntosh, the executive vice president and head of finance and operations, will take over as interim CEO. Combs also said that he will remain as an advisor and a shareholder of Revolt TV.
Combs' decision comes after he and Cassie reached a settlement on Friday, one day after she filed a lawsuit accusing him of some serious misconduct. Cassie, who dated Combs for about 11 years before they split in 2018, sued him in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking unspecified damages. Combs denied the allegations and his lawyer said that the settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing.
Cassie's lawsuit was not the only legal trouble that Combs faced recently.

He was also sued by his former personal chef, who claimed that he was harassed and discriminated against by Combs and his staff. He was also sued by a former employee, who alleged that he was fired for being too old and disabled. Both lawsuits were dismissed by the court.
Combs, who is one of the most successful and influential figures in the music and entertainment industry, founded Revolt TV in 2013 as a platform for artists, creators and culture. The company produces and distributes original content, such as music videos, documentaries, podcasts and live events, across multiple platforms, including cable, digital and social media. Revolt TV has also been vocal about social justice issues, such as police brutality, racial inequality and voting rights.
Combs said that he is confident that Revolt TV will continue to grow and thrive under McIntosh's leadership, and that he will return to his role as chairman once he resolves his personal and legal issues. He also thanked his fans and supporters for their loyalty and prayers.
