Diddy Files $100 Million Lawsuit Against NBC After New Documentary

NBCUniversal is being sued for $100 million by Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The 55-year-old rapper has sued the network and production firm Ample over allegations made in their documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.” He is presently incarcerated pending trial on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The movie makes the assumption that Diddy has “committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him,” according to documents filed in New York and obtained by the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column.

It unfairly and unjustly leaps to the conclusion that Mr. Combs is a “monster,” “an embodiment of Lucifer,” and “has a lot of similarities to Jeffrey Epstein,” the docs continued.

The complaint continues by dissecting the purportedly false statements made by NBC and Peacock in January, including the implication that the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker was involved in the 2018 death of his intermittent partner Kim Porter, with whom he had four children, even though pneumonia was the official cause of her death.

Al B. Sure!, Kim’s ex-partner, questioned her death in the movie and said the model was “gone because she was going to be the next Cassie Ventura,” a reference to another of Diddy’s ex-partners who filed a rape lawsuit against him and ultimately reached an out-of-court settlement.

Although the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office determined that she passed away naturally and that there has “never been any evidence of foul play,” the rapper’s attorneys contended that the documentary accused him of “murdering the love of his life and mother to his children.”

However, the coroner’s conclusions were presented in the documentary, which also claimed that police had discovered “no criminal involvement in Kim Porter’s death.”

Since producer Ari Mark was aware of Sure’s “weird, very kind of complicated relationship with Sean Combs” due to an interview he made to the Hollywood Reporter, they also questioned the use of Sure as a source.

The “unhinged conspiracy theory” that the founder of Bad Boy Records was involved in the deaths of rapper Dwight “Heavy D” Arrington Myers and record executive Andre Harrell—who passed away from a pulmonary embolism in November 2011 and heart failure in 2020, respectively—was also criticized in the case.

According to the lawsuit, “Defendants spread fake news of the most damaging kind 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.”

The lawsuit also contested the resurgence of a $30 million lawsuit filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who claimed Diddy had abused minors. The rapper of “Last Night” countered that the women had already come forward to say they were not minors and had “never witnessed anything untoward happen at the parties.”

According to Diddy’s team, they informed NBC and Ample on December 10 of last year that the documentary’s charges were “unquestionably false” and had been “debunked and lack any credible evidence,” but it still moved forward.

“Defendants’ defamatory statements about Plaintiff have directly and proximately caused Plaintiff substantial financial and reputational harm and damaged his right to a fair trial on the government’s charges against him,” the lawsuit further stated.

The documentary’s creators were charged by the rapper’s attorney with “maliciously and recklessly broadcasting outrageous lies.”
