Overview
- Netflix premiered the four-part Sean Combs: The Reckoning on December 2, featuring previously unreleased footage and new interviews.
- Combs’s representatives sent a cease-and-desist and accuse the series of using stolen, unauthorized material, including pre-arrest hotel footage of legal discussions.
- Netflix and director Alexandria Stapleton say all footage was obtained legally, no participants were paid, and that executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson had no creative control.
- The doc includes accounts from alleged victims, former associates, and two trial jurors, and it revisits long-disputed episodes involving Tupac Shakur and Christopher “Biggie” Wallace.
- Combs is serving a roughly 50-month federal sentence after July convictions on two transportation-for-prostitution counts, with acquittals on sex trafficking and racketeering.
