Sean Diddy sues NBC for $100 million for the financial and reputational harm the “Making of a Bad Boy” documentary caused.
NBCUniversal and the production firm Ample are being sued by Sean “Diddy” Combs for defamation over alleged errors in their documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” which has cost them $100 million.
The rapper’s attorneys claim in the New York lawsuit that the documentary assumes their client “has done numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and trafficking in sex of minors, and tries to crudely psychologize him,” according to Page Six.
The lawsuit claims that it intentionally and unjustly assumes that Mr. Combs is a “evil,” “an image of Lucifer,” and “has a lot of similarities to Jeffrey Epstein.”
The lawsuit analyzes all of the alleged falsehoods that were aired on Peacock and NBC in January, including the claim that Combs, 55, was responsible for Kim Porter’s 2018 death. Together, the couple, who had an erratic relationship, reared three kids.
Al B. Sure! (actual name Albert Joseph Brown III), Porter’s ex-partner, questioned the late model’s cause of death in the document, which was found to be lobar pneumonia. He further said that she was “gone since she would be going to be next to Cassie Ventura.”
The two parties negotiated a 24-hour settlement after Ventura, who intermittently dated Combs from 2007 to 2018, filed a rape case against him in November 2023. Several claimed victims came forward after a shocking hotel security video verified the singer of “Me and U”‘s bombshell allegations of domestic abuse.
Nevertheless, Combs’ lawyers argue in their lawsuit that the doctor accused their client of “murdering the love of his private life and mother to his children,” even though the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office found that there was “never any evidence of foul play.”
The document that NBC posted stated that the Los Angeles Police Department had found “no criminal activity in Kim Porter’s death,” but it did air the coroner’s conclusions.
The $30 million lawsuit that artist Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones brought, which claimed that the rapper had molested children, has a claim that Combs’ lawyers are contesting.
According to Combs’ team, they informed NBC and Ample on or around December 10, 2024, that the statements in their doc were “unequivocally false,” and that they had been “debunked” since they “lack any credible evidence”. However, they still moved ahead with the release of the trailer and series.
