On Friday’s episode of Real Time on HBO, Bill Maher pondered why the music industry has avoided the #MeToo movement amid Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ recent arrest.

Since the #MeToo movement garnered global attention in 2017, hundreds of powerful individuals have been accused of and/or charged with sexual offenses, including disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein.

While speaking with author Fran Lebowitz during a 1:1 interview, the comedian brought up Combs’ federal charges and wondered how they might impact the music industry as a whole.

“I’ve been asking this question for seven years, since 2017 when the #MeToo thing happened,” Maher said. “Why… why not the music industry? I mean, they went after NPR pretty bad. They got like, four, five guys from NPR, like old guys who posted, like, an outrageous limerick on the doorway of the bookshop.”

“The music industry is this open cesspool of misogyny, and frankly, rape and sexual harassment, and somehow, the angel of death has flown over them,” the host added before asking, “Why do you think that is?”

Lebowitz replied “I think because this is a capitalist country, and the music industry is much more lucrative than NPR. That would be my guess.”

“A lot of the stories about everybody starting with #MeToo, I’d heard a lot of these stories for many years,” she continued. “So, Puffy, this was not exactly a state secret. But it was a state secret apparently to them.”

In addition to the federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges that have been brought against Combs, the music mogul has also been hit with numerous lawsuits from men and women, including ex Cassie Ventura, who accused him of rape and abuse in a complaint filed against the rapper last November.

In a recent lawsuit filed by Thalia Graves, she alleged that Combs drugged and raped her in 2001.

The rapper is currently in jail awaiting trial after being denied bail. He pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The FBI had raided his Los Angeles and Miami homes months before his arrest.
