A new DOKUFILM should “maliciously make the wrong assertion that Mr. Combs is a serial killer,” said the announcement.
Sean “Diddy” has been in custody since September 16, 2024. The rapper and producers are accused of abuse, sex trade, prostitution and blackmail. FBI and SDNY also determine whether the 55-year-old initiated so-called sex parties (with a prominent guest list, Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio or Justin Bieber), where drugs were sold and sex trade was completed. Previously, in March 2024, raids were held by the police on his property due to such allegations. In time, more and more complaints have accumulated against Diddy. But a documentary about him was also implemented. At the beginning of 2025, “Diddy: The Making of A Bad Boy” was broadcast via NBC and Peacock. And Combs is now in court against this document. He submitted a 100 million dollar lawsuit against the transmitters because, in his opinion, they “maliciously make the wrong claim that Mr. Combs is a serial killer.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs sees himself innocent
In the application, which is “Rolling Stone”, it also says that in the film “one comes to the conclusion that Mr. Combs is a ‘monster’ and ‘a embodiment of Lucifer with’ many similarities’ for Jeffrey Epstein” be. The 55-year-old does not want to leave these accusations. He also advocates his innocence for the over 40 civil lawsuits that stack with him. However, the legal proceedings for his person will only roll in May 2025.
What can be seen in the documentary
Among other things, a former member of Da Band also has their say in “The Making of a Bad Boy” – Sara Rivers. She was one of the six musicians personally selected by Diddy, who was seen as part of the TV show “Making the Band” broadcast from 2002 to 2004 and received a contract with Combs Bad Boy Records. During this period, he should have behaved inappropriately towards Rivers and her colleagues.
Specifically, she says in the documentary interview: “When he got angry on one of my band members, he said: ‘You make me so angry that I want to eat your meat.’ And then he said to another of my band members: ‘You roll with my eyes, I could get a cracking addict and pay him $ 20 so that he will beat your shit out of your body.’ Who says something like that? That’s crazy. “
Furthermore, the now 47-year-old did Diddy to have stuck to her on the set: “He touched me in a place where he shouldn’t have done it. That was inappropriate. I felt intimidated and thought: ‘Oh my god, what the hell has just happened there?’ “
In addition, she explained in the documentary conversation: “I am definitely nervous because I haven’t said anything for so long and has accumulated it. It went through my head for 20 years. This happened, that happened, it was stopped. That is mentally exhausting. “
With Da Band she published the album Too Hot for TV in 2003. But it didn’t work much further, because Sara Rivers’ group was then dissolved by Sean “Diddy” Combs.
What still comes up in the application
In the documentary on the musician, other people from Combs environment report on the musician and accuse him of having abusive. The death of Kim Porter is also questioned-Combs’ ex-wife died of pneumonia in November 2018.
In contrast, Combs’ lawyer team takes action. The 17-page application also reads: “The documentary shamelessly spreads conspiracy theories, which is without reality by repeatedly assuming that Mr. Combs is a serial killer because it cannot be a ‘coincidence’ that several people have died in Mr. Combs’ environment. […] By drawing up these claims without any evidence or logic and in view of the clear evidence of the opposite, the defendant fake news spread the most harmful way. “
And further: “In the alleged documentary, the defendant Mr. Combs accuse terrible crimes, including serial murder and sexual assault on minors – knowing that there is no evidence of this. […] Mr. Combs makes this lawsuit in order to hold the defendant for the extraordinary damage that her ruthless statements have caused. ”
In addition, Diddy’s lawyers explain that the film “incorrectly and maliciously claims that Mr. Combs had sex with underage girls and acted with them”.
Not the first defamation lawsuit
As early as January 2025, the Combs, which was sitting in custody, submitted a defamation – in this first case against Newsnation and Courtney Burgess, who has claimed on the Internet and on television interviews since autumn 2024, in possession of a video with alleged “sexual assault on celebrities and Minors ”by Sean“ Diddy ”to be Combs.
In the opinion of Diddy’s opinion, Burges’s “this wrong claim has repeated many times to everyone who wanted to listen. Also to reporters of great news agencies ”, which is why he should no longer get through it. His lawyer, Ariel Mitchell, also has to defend himself legally in this case. Finally Diddy accuses her that she continued to make the alleged fake news in a TV conversation at Newsnation on September 27, 2024. In the interview, she is also said to have underlined that a film recording “exists that it is real. That the other person is very easy to see in the video ”. Plus: “I can say that the video is pornographic in nature.”
Diddy denied all of these allegations and added to the lack, which in his opinion “ruthlessly repeated and reinforced the lies, as if they were true.” In the case, he demanded $ 50 million due to defamation.
