According to Page Six, Sean Combs now contends he had no idea that woman beater Chris Brown was setting up an elaborate publicity stunt to reconcile with Rihanna at Sean’s Miami crib.

Combs now feels duped and hoodwinked by Brown’s high powered PR flacks who used Sean’s name and home in a failed bid to repair CB’s much-maligned image. So he’s backing away from Brown with the quickness.

This is a good thing because once Sean Combs stops co-signing the woman beater, others in the industry will follow suit and Chris Brown will be black balled in the industry.

The bitch-boy’s career is over in 5…4…3…2…

From Page Six:

    Sean “Diddy” Combs had no idea Chris Brown was going to use his home on Star Island to stage his reconciliation with Rihanna for the paparazzi. A music industry insider tells us, “Chris called and said he needed to crash at Diddy’s house while he was recording. He said it would just be him and his mom.” In fact, Brown, who just got charged with two felonies for allegedly beating up Rihanna the night of the Grammys, brought her down and called the photographers. “Chris is a dog,” another spy said. “He’s always been so critical and nasty to Rihanna, making fun of her accent.”
