Diddy Combs Alleges Defamation by NBC Universal in Controversial Documentary

Making of a Bad Boy” contains false statements that paint him as a dangerous criminal involved in serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors. The complaint argues that NBC Universal either knew these claims were untrue or published them with a blatant disregard for the truth, all in an effort to defame the Bad Boy Records founder while he faces serious federal charges and remains incarcerated.

The documentary, which premiered recently on Peacock TV, is described as a raw look at Combs’ journey from childhood to his rise as a mogul, blending exclusive footage and candid interviews to explore both his professional accomplishments and the controversies that have swirled around him. However, according to the lawsuit, the creators of the film have crossed the line by venturing into unfounded conspiracy theories that equate multiple deaths of individuals connected to Combs with a deliberate act of murder, and by insinuating comparisons between him and notorious figures such as Jeffrey Epstein.

In addition to the assassination of any factual basis behind the alleged murders—including those of a former girlfriend, an iconic rapper, and another musician—the complaint also details how the documentary emphasises discredited civil claims falsely alleging that Combs had sexual relations with underage girls, despite confirmations that those involved were adults. Combs’ attorney has condemned the documentary for broadcasting what he describes as “outrageous lies” and accused the defendants of seeking to profit from sensationalism, thereby undermining Combs’ right to a fair trial amid very serious criminal charges.
