Netflix’s Diddy Doc Draws New Rebuttals as Series Hits No. 1

Combs’ mother calls key allegations “patently false,” seeking public retractions.

Overview

  • Netflix and director Alexandria Stapleton say the pre-arrest footage was obtained legally and note that executive producer 50 Cent had no creative control.
  • Janice Combs rejects the docuseries’ depiction of her parenting and denies a claim that her son slapped her after the 1991 City College tragedy, requesting corrections.
  • Diddy’s legal team sent a cease-and-desist calling the project a “hit piece” built on “stolen” material, a characterization the streamer disputes.
  • Multiple outlets report the film includes a recorded call between Sean Combs and attorney Marc Agnifilo, raising questions about how such private material was captured.
  • The four-part series has reached No. 1 in the U.S. and U.K., while online harassment and renewed scrutiny have intensified around relatives and former associates.
