Overview
- Netflix released the four-part Sean Combs: The Reckoning on December 2, alleging abuse and revisiting disputed links to the Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls murders through new interviews and archival material.
- Janice Combs publicly rejected Kirk Burrowes’ claim that her son slapped her after the 1991 City College tragedy, calling the account false and requesting a public retraction.
- Netflix and the filmmakers, led by executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, defend the project’s sourcing, stating participants were not paid and footage was obtained lawfully.
- Sean Combs’ team labeled the series a “shameful hit piece,” asserting that featured voices have grudges or credibility issues and that allegations are repeated without verification.
- The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed a separate sexual battery investigation tied to alleged incidents in 2020 and 2021, while analysts say the doc could prompt civil actions or renewed interviews rather than immediate new charges.
