Sean Combs has sued NBC and Peacock in a $100 million defamation lawsuit over the airing of the documentary 'Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy'
, claiming the program promoted conspiracy theories and “maliciously advanc the unhinged narrative that Mr. Combs is a serial killer.”
At least one of his civil sexual assault accusers participated in the Peacock documentary, which also included interviews with the singer Al B. Sure!, Combs’ childhood friends and early Bad Boy Records producers. Together, the participants told a story of how Combs went from a bullied teen to a titan of the music industry, allegedly becoming abusive to those who entered his orbit.
“ shamelessly advances conspiracy theories that lack any foundation in reality, repeatedly insinuating that Mr. Combs is a serial killer because it cannot be a ‘coincidence’ that multiple people in Mr. Combs’s orbit have died,” the 17-page filing alleges. “ 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.
Combs’ attorneys also claim the documentary “falsely and maliciously asserts that Mr. Combs was having sex with and was sex trafficking underage girls.” An anonymized participant, who was described as a former Bad Boy employee, claimed he was tasked with recruiting “girls” to bring back to Combs’ house. The man claimed some of these women were underage. The documentary then displayed legal filings that made similar allegations.
