Janice Combs Denies Abuse Portrayals in Netflix’s ‘Sean Combs: The Reckoning’

Her statement challenges a central scene in the series, demanding public retractions.

Overview

  • Sean Combs’ mother issued a statement calling the docuseries’ depictions of her and her son “lies” and “inaccuracies,” and asked that the claims be retracted.
  • She specifically rejected Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes’ on‑camera allegation that Diddy slapped her after the 1991 City College tragedy, calling it “inaccurate and patently false.”
  • Janice Combs also disputed a segment suggesting she was an abusive parent, saying she raised her son with “love and hard work” and criticizing the show’s portrayal.
  • Netflix has defended the four-part series’ sourcing and says all footage was obtained legally, while Combs’ attorneys sent a cease‑and‑desist letter alleging unauthorized material.
  • The series, executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, arrives as Sean Combs serves a roughly 50‑month federal sentence on transportation‑to‑engage‑in‑prostitution convictions, with his team continuing to challenge the documentary and its witnesses’ credibility.
