Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sues NBCUniversal for $100M in defamation lawsuit over The Making of a Bad Boy documentary
The rapper, who is set to face trial in May for sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, is suing the network over their recently released documentary special, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, claiming defamation. The documentary broaches the subject of Diddy’s ex Kim Porter who died of natural causes back in 2018, the circumstances surrounding her death, and Combs’ involvement. The doc also features interviews with Diddy’s former employees, associates, and the lawyer of one of his accusers to discuss the charges and allegations surrounding him. Lawyers representing Diddy slammed the network and its streaming partner in a statement accompanying the suit, writing “NBCUniversal Media LLC, Peacock TV LLC, and Ample LLC made a conscious decision to line their own pockets at the expense of truth, decency, and basic standards of professional journalism. Grossly exploiting the trust of their audience and racing to outdo their competition for the most salacious Diddy exposé, defendants maliciously and recklessly broadcast outrageous lies in Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.”
