In my two-decade experience in the music industry, it has become painfully evident that the incidents of sexual misconduct are not outliers; they represent a broader, systemic issue. The prevailing culture is one that consistently places young artists in vulnerable situations, allowing those in positions of power to exploit them without fear of repercussions. The case in question involving Mr. Combs sparked memories of my own, revealing a troubling pattern that persists within the industry.
What happened on that yacht twenty-seven years ago isn't an isolated incident; rather, it reflects a larger culture of complicity within the music industry. This environment allows powerful individuals to operate with impunity while pushing those who lack influence into dangerous situations. This toxic dynamic not only makes spaces like recording studios and concert venues unsafe but also perpetuates a cycle of abuse, one from which many artists struggle to escape.
