Sean 'Diddy' Combs sues NBC for $100 million over documentary defamation

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is suing NBC Universal for $100 million, claiming that their documentary 'Diddy: Making of a Bad Boy' falsely accuses him of heinous crimes, including serial murder and sexual abuse of minors, while he awaits trial on federal sex trafficking charges. The lawsuit, filed in New York, alleges that NBC published these defamatory statements with reckless disregard for the truth, thereby undermining his right to a fair trial. Combs contends that the documentary maliciously insinuates he was involved in the death of his ex-partner, Kimberly Porter, despite her death being ruled natural by the coroner. The documentary premiered on Peacock last month and has been criticized by Combs for its portrayal of his character and alleged crimes. NBC Universal has not yet commented on the lawsuit. Combs remains in federal custody, having pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, with his trial set to begin in May.
