Sean Combs: The Reckoning Episode 4 Ending Explained: Inside Alleged Abuse Patterns, Cover-Ups, and the Arrest That Closes the Chapter

Netflix just dropped all four parts of 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning,' and the finale wastes zero time going for the jugular. Episode 4, called 'Bink Again' (yes, that title), leans hard on first-hand accounts from people who were in Combs' orbit for years, plus two actual jurors from his criminal case. It also shows never-before-seen footage that is already stirring up legal pushback. And because context matters: the documentary is executive produced by 50 Cent, which, given their long, messy history, is a wrinkle worth clocking.

What the final episode shows

'Bink Again' brings together a small but loaded group from different eras of Bad Boy and beyond, while the series as a whole walks through the six days before Combs' September 2024 arrest.

• Kirk Burrowes (Bad Boy Entertainment co-founder) – talks about the early foundation and dynamics around Combs.
• Kalenna Harper (43, from Diddy-Dirty Money) – breaks down why she publicly defended Combs after Dawn Richard filed suit on September 10, 2024, and what he asked of her behind the scenes.
• Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones (producer) – adds more connective tissue from the production side.
• Aubrey O'Day (41, formerly of Danity Kane) – details why she says she was fired and addresses a separate, deeply troubling allegation from 2005 that she says she cannot remember.
• Juror 160 and Juror 75 – explain how the jury landed on a split verdict in July 2025.

Kalenna Harper: the favor, the fallout, and her line in the sand

Harper gets emotional explaining why she initially stood up for Combs in public last fall. The episode shows footage of Combs asking her for what he calls a "brother's favor of life"—to make a public statement supporting him after Dawn Richard sued on September 10, 2024.

Harper says the ask landed badly because, shortly before that, she had asked Combs for a $5,000 loan tied to a child custody issue, and he told her he couldn't help. When he later wanted her to speak up, she reminded him how that felt on her end. She also makes it clear she was weighing her own custody situation and how anything she said could be used against her.

Here is where things get thorny: Richard's lawsuit mentions Harper 33 times and claims she witnessed various abuse. Harper pushes back hard. She says that in the decade she worked with Combs, she never saw him commit abuse or illegal acts, and she doesn't want people assuming she's running interference for him. Her stance is essentially: she can only speak to what she personally experienced, and that wasn't it.

Aubrey O'Day: firing, pressure, and a separate 2005 allegation

O'Day says Combs fired her from Danity Kane in 2008 because she refused to be sexual with him. She also says she realized around then that Combs was spinning up Diddy-Dirty Money with her former bandmate Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper, which, in her view, underscored why she was pushed out.

The episode also references a sworn statement from an eyewitness alleging O'Day was sexually assaulted in 2005. The affidavit describes O'Day as inebriated on a leather couch with Combs having sex with her and another man present. O'Day says she has no memory of the incident. She wrestles on camera with whether to dig into the allegation at all, worrying that her speaking out about one claim could be spun by Combs' legal team to undermine other accusers. It's heavy, uncomfortable, and one of the episode's toughest moments to sit with.

How the jury got there, and what it meant

Two jurors explain the July 2025 split verdict. After two days of deliberation, the jury found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act. They acquitted him on the racketeering conspiracy charge and two sex trafficking counts. That nuance got flattened in headlines at the time, so hearing jurors explain it is useful context.

"I do feel it's important that we let the public know from the jurors' standpoint just kind of how we reached the verdict. It's not everything that the media has put it out to be."

Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Combs on October 3, 2025, to 50 months in prison and a $500,000 fine.

The civil cases: the scale is staggering

The episode closes by laying out the legal pileup: more than 100 lawsuits filed against Combs since November 2023, with 77 sexual assault cases still pending as of December 2025. A few that are still active:

Joi Dickerson-Neal's suit, filed November 23, 2023 (the final day of New York's Adult Survivors Act window), alleges Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her in January 1991 while she was a Syracuse University student, per Reuters. Dawn Richard's September 10, 2024 lawsuit is also unresolved; she seeks millions related to performances plus $350,000 for other damages, per NPR.

My read

As a finale, 'Bink Again' is less shocking-than-thou and more methodical than I expected, but it's still loaded. The unseen footage is going to be argued over for a long time, and the jurors' segment adds clarity to a verdict that got reduced to soundbites. The Harper and O'Day sections are the most complicated—messy, human, and not easily packaged. That's the point.
