In a major shakeup, 18 companies have severed their business relationships with Sean “Diddy” Combs business empire.
In a major shakeup, 18 companies have severed their business relationships with Sean “Diddy” Combs following serious sexual assault allegations. This significant move underscores the importance of ethical partnerships and accountability in the business world.
The fallout is particularly notable for Combs’ recently launched platform, Empower Global. Rolling Stone Magazine confirmed that 14 other companies have ended their association with the platform, sending a clear message that actions have consequences, even in the world of high-stakes business.
Among the companies that have distanced themselves from Puffy are Tsuri, Nuudii System, Fulaba and House of Takura. These companies have taken a firm stand, reflecting a broader trend of businesses prioritizing ethical conduct and integrity.
Ashli Goudelock, founder of Black-owned luxury skin-care brand Tsuri, says her company “unequivocally seeks to terminate” its association with Empower Global. “As a women-owned and -led company, we do not and will not linger in a gray area about the mistreatment of women.”
Annette Azan, founder of undergarment and shapewear line Nuudii System, says she also terminated her Empower Global account. And Lenard Grier, co-founder of No One Clothiers, says his company has distanced itself from the eCommerce site as well.
The decisions by these companies highlight the growing concern for maintaining ethical partnerships. By cutting ties with Combs, these brands are emphasizing their commitment to upholding values and making principled decisions in light of serious allegations.
