Stapleton emphasized the broader cultural implications of the series. “This isn’t just about Sean Combs or Cassie, or any of the victims or allegations. Ultimately, this story is a mirror reflecting us as the public, and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal. I hope this documentary is a wake-up call for how we idolize people, and to understand that everybody is a human being.”
