Overview
- Janice Combs issued a statement calling depictions of her and an alleged slap by her son in Sean Combs: The Reckoning "patently false" and asked for public retractions.
- Sean Combs’ lawyers sent Netflix a cease-and-desist alleging use of unauthorized and private attorney-client footage, while Netflix says all materials were obtained legally and rejects accusations of a hit piece.
- The series presents previously unseen material, including Combs’ self-recordings days before his 2024 arrest, Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes’ journals, LAPD archives, and police interview footage of Duane "Keffe D" Davis.
- Allegations highlighted include sexual misconduct, intimidation, financial manipulation, and disputed assertions about links to the unsolved murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., which Combs denies.
- The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says it is reviewing a new sexual battery report involving Combs, whose civil attorney disputes the claim, as he serves a roughly 50‑month federal sentence on two prostitution-related convictions and appeals.
