Sean Combs' Mother Slams Netflix Docuseries as 'False' Abuse Claims, Calls Series 'Intentionally Misleading'
Janice Combs, Sean Combs' mother, has fired back at claims made in the Netflix docuseries "Sean Combs: The Reckoning", calling them "intentionally misleading" and "offensive". In a statement provided exclusively to Deadline, Combs disputed several allegations made against her son and his upbringing.
Combs took issue with the program's portrayal of her relationship with her son, stating that it contains "falsehoods" about their family life. She claimed that the series' depiction of her parenting was particularly egregious, accusing Netflix of portraying her as an abusive parent.
"These inaccuracies regarding my son Sean's upbringing and family life are intentionally done to mislead viewers and further harm our reputation," Combs wrote. "That was a very sad day for all of us... For [Burrowes] to use this tragedy and incorporate fake narratives to further his prior failed and current attempt to gain what was never his – Bad Boy Records – is wrong."
Combs also disputed the claim made by former Bad Boy Records executive Kirk Burrowes that she slapped him after a tragic event in 1991, which resulted in nine deaths. She called this allegation "patently false" and "outrageous", claiming that it was used to further Burrowes' own interests.
Combs concluded her statement by demanding that Netflix publicly retract the distortions and falsehoods presented in the series. The mother is seeking accountability for what she sees as a malicious portrayal of herself and her son.

. Like, who wouldn't want to defend their own flesh and blood from some shady docuseries? I mean, sure, it's easy for the producers to stir up drama and get clicks, but at the end of the day, they're just trying to sell a narrative that doesn't necessarily reflect reality.
. If she was really as messed up as they're making her out to be, wouldn't that have been a bigger deal back in the day? I think we can all agree that Netflix is just trying to make some cash off Sean Combs' name and reputation...and it's not gonna sit well with him or his mom 
.
by this whole thing, you know? I mean, Sean Combs' mom is firing back at Netflix and saying that their docuseries is intentionally misleading? That's some crazy stuff right there 
. I don't even know what to believe anymore, it feels like everyone's just trying to one-up each other in the drama department 
. And can we talk about how messed up it is that someone would make up a story like that about Sean's mom and then try to sell it as fact? Like, come on Netflix 
, you know better than that! The drama queen 
is totally getting under my skin with this one though...
. i think sean's mom is totally right too, if she didn't do what they're saying then why all this fuss? shouldn't netflix just apologize and move on instead of making a big deal out of it 
Janice Combs is totally not having it when it comes to Netflix's docuseries and I don't blame her one bit! The whole thing about her allegedly slapping Kirk Burrowes after a tragedy in 1991 just sounds SO false 
. Like, can you even imagine your mom slapping someone that badly? 
I mean, come on, firing back like this is just gonna play right into their hands... they're just gonna spin this to make it look like Sean Combs' mom is trying to silence the truth or something. Meanwhile, the docuseries is still out there peddling its "sensational" exposé and making a quick buck off the Combs family's misfortunes 
. I swear, some people just can't stop exploiting tragedy for the sake of ratings... 
. Like, why would Sean Combs' mom feel the need to publicly slam Netflix like that? You'd think she'd just take it and move on, but nope, she's choosing to get all up in arms about what they're saying about her and her son 
i'm not even a fan of sean combs but that seems so messed up. what's the deal with bad boy records btw? did he really just get back at his mom and now she's all upset? 
. It's crazy how they were trying to make her look like an abusive parent, but she's not having it 
At least his mom is speaking out now and saying that Netflix was just trying to ruin their rep 
. I'm all about accountability, let's see if Netflix will back down or keep pushing this drama 
. I feel bad for Sean and his mom, though - it's gotta be hard dealing with all this negativity. But can't they just have a civil conversation instead of throwing shade? The formatting of the article is still on point tho 
. And Burrowes just trying to get ahead? Like, karma, girl! 
Anyway, I gotta give it to Janice Combs for speaking her mind and calling out Netflix on their BS. Now, let's see what kind of damage control they do next 
. We gotta remember that people's lives are real lives, not some scripted drama 
. Can't we just focus on telling stories that uplift and inspire us instead of tearing others down? 
Netflix needs to step up and correct these inaccuracies, pronto! 
. his mom janice combs is speaking out now saying it's all false and misleading 
.
i hope netflix listens to her demands and retracts those defamatory statements ASAP 
and that netflix is just trying to mess with his rep. like why would they do dat tho? Janice is all upset cuz they showed her slapping some dude (who's now suing them 
) and she's all like nope thats NOT what went down. she even called out burrowes for using the tragedy to get more power
