P Diddy defies censors to release advert
Published Tuesday, Sep 18 2007, 13:12 BST | By Kimberley Dadds
P Diddy has decided to ignore those that expressed concern over an advertisement that he has made for his new fragrance being "too raunchy", and released it online instead.
The hip-hop star, real name Sean Combs, is shown putting his hand up model Jessica Gomez's dress and she is seen having her underwear being ripped of by another woman in the three minute clip.
Despite bosses demanding that the commercial be heavily edited before it can be aired following outrage after it was debuted on MTV, Combs has instead released it on his MySpace page for people to view.
In a statement about the Unforgiveable Woman perfume ad, he said: "I feel strongly that this movie needs to be viewed and judged by the public rather than by executives.
"Some people may be uncomfortable with the sensuality and sexual content, but it is important for them to make that decision personally."
