Diddy has launched a $100m lawsuit against NBC Universal for their documentary ahead of his sex trafficking trial.
He is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Centre for trial and has repeatedly been refused bail and refutes all of the accusations.
On Wednesday, the rapper filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of New York State claiming the documentary assumed Diddy has “committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him.”
The suit, obtained by Page Six alleged: “‘It maliciously and baselessly jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Combs is a ‘monster’ and ‘an embodiment of Lucifer’ with ‘a lot of similarities to Jeffrey Epstein.”
The documentary, titled Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy included never-before-seen footage of the entrepreneur and provided insight into his decades-long career.
Al B. Sure!, his old labelmate from Uptown Records, dated Kim Porter prior to her connection with Combs, questioned her death and claimed she was “gone because she was going to be next Cassie Ventura.”
The documentary accused Combs of “murdering the love of his life [Porter] and mother to his children”, according to Combs’ lawyers in the lawsuit, even though an autopsy showed she passed away naturally.
Along with the LAPD’s statement that there was “no criminal involvement in Kim Porter’s death,” the movie featured the Los Angeles County Coroner’s official cause of death finding.
The lawsuit criticised NBC and Ample Productions for utilising Sure as a source, citing producer Ari Mark’s remarks to THR about Sure’s “weird, very kind of complicated relationship with Sean Combs.”
Combs’ attorneys also lambasted an “unhinged conspiracy theory” that the rapper was responsible for the deaths of The Notorious B.I.G, Andre Harrell, and rapper Dwight “Heavy D” Arrington Myers.
“By maliciously advancing the unhinged narrative that Mr. Combs is a serial killer — with absolutely no evidence or logic to stand on and in the face of clear evidence to the contrary — Defendants spread fake news of the most damaging kind,” the lawsuit states.
Combs’ attorney, Erica Wolff, added in a statement to the publication: “Grossly exploiting the trust of their audience and racing to outdo their competition for the most salacious Diddy exposé, Defendants maliciously and recklessly broadcast outrageous lies in Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.”
“In the purported documentary, Defendants accuse Mr. Combs of horrible crimes, including serial murder and sexual assault of minors — knowing that there is no evidence to support them.”
“In making and broadcasting these falsehoods, among others, Defendants seek only to capitalize on the public’s appetite for scandal without any regard for the truth and at the expense of Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial.”
