Sean Combs filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit on Wednesday against the producers of “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” claiming the broadcast contained “outrageous fresh lies.”
The documentary, which runs for almost 90 minutes, premiered in January on Peacock and included insights from Combs’ former friends, colleagues, and employees who discussed significant events in the troubled rapper’s life, particularly his relationship with Kim Porter, who passed away from lobar pneumonia in 2018.
The lawsuit filed in New York claims that NBC Universal, Peacock, and production company Ample Entertainment misleadingly suggested through the documentary that Diddy was responsible for Porter’s death – his deceased partner and the mother of his children.
The lawsuit also alleges that producer Albert Brown made false statements about the circumstances of Porter’s death, as well as about a rumored diary. As the complaint in the lawsuit reads, “By maliciously advancing the unhinged narrative that Mr Combs is a serial killer — with absolutely no evidence or logic to stand on and in the face of clear evidence to the contrary — Defendants spread fake news of the most damaging kind”
Further the lawsuit stated, that the documentary baselessly showed Mr. Combs as a ‘monster’ and ‘an embodiment of Lucifer’ with ‘a lot of similarities’ to Jeffrey Epstein, who was as an American financier and child sex offender.
NBC representatives have not provided a response regarding the matter. Combs, who has refuted sexual assault claims in almost 50 civil lawsuits filed since November 2023, is currently confronting federal charges related to racketeering and sex trafficking. He has entered a not guilty plea and is being held at a jail in Brooklyn, awaiting his trial scheduled for May.
