Shawn Combs, a music mogul facing federal assault and sex trafficking charges, sued NBCuniversal and its streaming service Peacock on Wednesday, claiming that he was “shamelessly moving on to conspiracy theories.” He accused them of airing.
The documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” is about Combs' life and career, which evolved amid allegations of sexual abuse and violence led to criminal charges and three dozen civil suits. It's one of a few. .
Combs, who is in a Brooklyn prison, is awaiting criminal trial, pleading not guilty to the charges, everyone refuses to sexually assault, portraying the allegations as shipbuilding and consensual sex statements. It's there. Over the past few weeks, he began to launch attacks, filing lawsuits against people and businesses who say he slandered him.
The latest honour-loss lawsuit focuses on a part of the Peacock documentary, with the subject of one interview being murdered by the longtime girlfriend of Combs, who had three children at the mogul. It claims to have been.
The documentary includes images of Ms Porter's autopsy report. This states that she died of Rober pneumonia and that local police did not suspect a foul play. She passed away in 2018 at the age of 47.
But that includes an interview with Albert Joseph Brown. Albert Joseph Brown is a former singer who goes by the name of Al B. Sousa, who characterizes the suit as defamatory. In an interview, Brown, who had a child with Porter, explained that he would be meeting her, saying, “It was two or three weeks before the murder – should I say 'suspect'? “I say it.
Representatives from NBCuniversal did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the lawsuit.
The 90-minute documentary released last month includes people questioning details surrounding the death of other Combs Associates, including The Notorious Big, the rapper of Combs label, which was fatally filmed in 1997. Includes interviews.
“The documentary advances the false narrative that Porter and others in Combs' orbit are not “accidental” when they die to allud the fact that Combs killed them,” the lawsuit says.
Brown is not listed as a defendant in the suit filed in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan and lists the production companies that produced the documentary as additional defendants.
To prove an honor or loss to a public figure, the plaintiff must convince the defendant or ju apprentice that the defendant knew that the statement of honor or loss was false or that he had recklessly published the truth. There is.
The lawsuit also opposes the documentary's inclusion of allegations by a man named Courtney Burgess. He said he was given a video showing him combing in sexual encounters with celebrities, including assaulting people who appear to be minors.
Combs has already sued Burgess and his lawyer, Ariel Mitchell Kidd. She has appeared in several Peacock documentaries, skeptical of Porter's death from pneumonia, and at another point he calls Combs the “embodied Lucifer.”
In response to the lawsuit, Mitchell Kidd called it “a pathetic ploy to silence victims and those who stand up for the victims.”
In addition to the criminal trial scheduled for May, Combs faces numerous lawsuits (currently more than 40) filed against him, including allegations of sexual abuse. He vehemently denied all allegations.
At least two other documentaries also focus on allegations against Combs. The Combs series, called “The Fall of Diddy,” was released last month through a research discovery. In response to the series, Combs' lawyers said in a statement to the media outlet that the documentary “is in a hurry to cash in to the media circus surrounding Combs.”
Netflix is reportedly producing another series with involvement from Combs' rapper and vocal foe 50 Cent.
