"A lot of bad things happened": the most shocking moments from Sean Combs' docuseries
Sean Combs, also known as Puff Daddy or Diddy, has been at the center of controversy for years, and his new Netflix docuseries "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" is no exception. The four-part series chronicles Combs' rise to fame and delves into some of the allegations made against him over the years.
The documentary features a wide range of voices, including former members of Combs' inner circle, several former employees and associates, childhood friends, artists who were signed to his label Bad Boy Records, two jurors from his federal trial, and several people who have filed civil lawsuits against Combs. Some of these allegations include claims of sexual assault, with some women claiming that Combs coerced them into participating in sex marathons with male escorts.
One of the most shocking moments in the documentary comes when two former jurors from Combs' federal trial speak out for the first time since the case was decided. One of the jurors, Juror 160, recounts how she felt "confused" by Combs' relationship with his ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura and expressed her concerns about the coercive nature of their relationship.
Another disturbing allegation comes from singer Aubrey O'Day, who claims that Combs sent her sexually explicit emails during the filming of MTV's Making the Band. O'Day alleges that she was subjected to sexual harassment and assault by Combs, which he has denied.
The documentary also includes previously unseen footage of Combs filmed in the six days before his arrest in September 2024. In this footage, Combs is seen speaking with his lawyer on the phone about the public perception against him on social media.
Combs' lawyers have responded to the docuseries by claiming that Netflix has misappropriated Combs' private footage and is sensationalizing every minute of his life without regard for truth. They also claim that Jackson, who produced the documentary, has a personal vendetta against Combs and should not have been given creative control over the project.
Despite these controversies, the docuseries has received praise from some critics, who describe it as "grimly necessary" and a "relentless" portrait of "a terrifying individual". However, others have criticized the documentary for its perceived bias and lack of context in presenting the allegations against Combs.
