No evidence Hulu is canceling show
Combs was arrested Sept. 16 on federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The indictment alleges that Combs abused “women and other individuals” verbally, emotionally, physically and sexually, and that many victims were coerced to take part in lewd group sexual acts called “freak offs.” Combs has pleaded not guilty.
The Facebook post includes a link to a story on a disreputable website that connects Combs with Jenner and her daughters, who star in the Hulu show, “The Kardashians.” The story states without any evidence the show has been canceled.

After Combs’ arrest, a clip from a 2014 episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” an earlier reality show featuring the family, was posted to social media, showing Khloé Kardashian describing a party she attended with Combs, where some of the guests were naked.
But contrary to the post’s claim, there is no evidence Hulu has canceled “The Kardashians.” The streaming servicerenewed the show for another season in July and has not made any announcement about canceling. No credible sources have reported it has been canceled. USA TODAY reached out to a Hulu spokesperson for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
