As controversy about the recent commercial for Sean John's female fragrance Unforgivable, the CEO has been allowed viewing time in the UK. The commercial which had to be edited in the US before appearing on TV will be shown in its entirety on TV in the UK after 9pm. The perfume which is manufactured by Estee Lauder has already become one of the biggest selling perfumes of the new millennium. Combs was extremely frustrated by the response the commercial got in his home land saying in a statement "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."
