Diddy Sues NBC for $100 Million Over Peacock Documentary on His Legal Troubles

Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken legal action against NBCUniversal, Peacock TV, and production company Ample LLC, alleging defamation over the documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The music mogul claims the film, which debuted last month, includes false and damaging allegations against him, including accusations of serial murder, sex trafficking, and sexual assault of minors. According to court documents filed on February 12, Combs is seeking $100 million in damages, citing "severe reputational and economic harm" caused by the documentary’s claims. His attorneys argue that the film deliberately spread "outrageous lies" with no credible evidence, exploiting public interest in his legal troubles for profit. “As described in today’s lawsuit, NBCUniversal Media, LLC, Peacock TV, LLC, and Ample LLC made a conscious decision to line their own pockets at the expense of truth, decency, and basic standards of professional journalism,” Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff said in a statement. “Grossly exploiting the trust of their audience and racing to outdo their competition for the most salacious Diddy exposé, Defendants maliciously and recklessly broadcast outrageous lies in Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.” The lawsuit marks another chapter in the ongoing legal turmoil surrounding Combs. The former hip-hop mogul was arrested last year on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty but remains in custody after being denied bail. If convicted, he faces a potential life sentence. Federal prosecutors, in a September 2024 indictment, accused Combs of running a "criminal enterprise" within his business empire, alleging he used coercion, threats, and violence to cover up his actions. The indictment detailed claims of forced labor, bribery, and obstruction of justice, with accusations dating back as far as 2009. Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo has consistently denied the allegations, calling the prosecution “unjust.” He defended Combs as “a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist” who has spent decades uplifting his community. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal,” Agnifilo said after his arrest. “These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.” Despite his legal troubles, Diddy and his team have pushed back against the documentary’s claims. Before filing the lawsuit, they issued a statement denouncing the film as “irresponsible journalism” and accused NBC and Peacock of giving a platform to “proven liars and opportunists.” “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months,” his team stated.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
