Nearly a month after The Making of a Bad Boy premiered.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is combating one of the documentaries tracing the sexual-assault allegations against him. The hip-hop mogul filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Peacock, NBCUniversal, and Ample Entertainment over Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, per “Page Six.” The lawsuit claims the documentary and its producers “falsely, recklessly, and maliciously” promoted allegations of murder, sex trafficking, and sexual abuse against Diddy, who is currently jailed on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges and faces dozens of lawsuits. “In making and broadcasting these falsehoods, among others, Defendants seek only to capitalize on the public’s appetite for scandal without any regard for the truth and at the expense of Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial,” Erica Wolff, Diddy’s attorney, told “Page Six.”
Diddy’s lawsuit comes nearly a month after the documentary premiered on Peacock. It is the first such project to be made since his September 2024 arrest. Another docuseries, The Fall of Diddy from Investigation Discovery, followed later in January. Diddy has not yet sued ID over that series, though ID faces a similar lawsuit brought by Chris Brown over a 2024 documentary on him.
