Sean “Diddy” Combs Slaps NBCUniversal With $100M Defamation Suit Over ‘Making Of A Bad Boy’ Documentary

Set to go on trial for sex trafficking and more in May, the much accused and already incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs is today taking a $100 million swing back at NBCUniversal and Peacock over what the ‘All About the Benjamins’ rapper terms an “outrageous set of fresh lies and conspiracy theories.” Specifically, the Bad Boy Records founder is upset about how he was depicted and described in the damning Diddy: Making of a Bad Boy documentary that launched on January 14 on the streamer. “For nearly a century, NBC has been a trusted name in news, a leader in broadcasting important stories to citizens who depend on reputable media to stay informed,” proclaims the jury trial seeking complaint, filed Wednesday in New York state court. “Grossly exploiting this trust and shamelessly capitalizing on the public’s insatiable appetite for content about Mr.

Combs in the lead up to his criminal trial, Defendants made a conscious decision to line their own pockets at the expense of truth, decency, and basic standards of professional journalism.” Sidestepping most of the flood of accusations of rape, drug fueled “freak offs” and more that Combs has been accused of in an every growing tsunami of lawsuits over the past year starting with ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, the 17-page complaint goes on to say: “The Documentary includes numerous false and defamatory statements that Defendants NBCU and Ample knew were false or published with reckless disregard as to whether they were false or not.

Indeed, the entire premise of the Documentary assumes that Mr. Combs has committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him.
