Diddy Sues NBC For Defamation
Incarcerated music producer Sean Coms, popularly known as ‘Diddy’, has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal and production company Ample for allegedly making false claims against him in their new documentary “Diddy: The Making Of A Bad Boy.”
Diddy is displeased with the allegations against him in NBC’s new documentary and has taken action against the broadcaster and production company Ample.
The music mogul’s attorneys filed a complaint in New York, reeling out wrongful claims against him in the documentary.
Diddy’s lawyers claim the new documentary assumes that he “has committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him.”
Diddy’s lawsuit alleged that the documentary “maliciously and baselessly jumps to the conclusion” that he is a “monster” and “an embodiment of Lucifer” with “a lot of similarities to Jeffrey Epstein.”
Diddy’s lawsuit pushed back against claims made in “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” that suggested he played a role in the 2018 death of Kim Porter, the mother of three of his children.
The music mogul and Porter were in an on-and-off relationship from 1994 to 2007 before her sudden passing due to pneumonia.
The documentary features Porter’s ex, singer Al B. Sure!, questioning her cause of death and suggesting she was targeted in a conspiracy.
However, Diddy’s lawyers argued that the documentary falsely implied he was responsible for her passing despite the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office confirming that she died from natural causes.
The lawsuit accused NBC and Ample of sensationalizing the tragedy to fit a fabricated narrative.
The lawsuit criticized NBC for relying on Al B. Sure! as a source despite his complicated history with Diddy.
The complaint highlighted that producer Ari Mark acknowledged Sure’s strained relationship with the rapper yet still included his claims.
Sure’s comments in the documentary linked Porter’s death to Diddy’s past relationship with singer Cassie Ventura.
The lawsuit dismissed these claims as baseless, branding them an “unhinged conspiracy theory” without factual support.
Additionally, Combs’ attorneys challenge the documentary’s suggestion that he was involved in the deaths of The Notorious B.I.G., record executive Andre Harrell, and rapper Heavy D, calling it “reckless and defamatory.”
The complaint stated, “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.”
