He never settled, he never paid 1 red penny, he triumphed and cleared his name.”
Combs Suing NBC For $100 Million
This is also a victory for Sean “Diddy” Combs. However, Combs’ legal troubles are far from over. He is still awaiting trial after being brought up on federal sex trafficking charges. But even as he waits, the Bad Boy founder continues to make the headlines. And this time it involves television industry giant NBC Universal.
Diddy is suing the network for a whopping $100 million. Over the production of the “Diddy Making of a Bad Boy,” documentary. The doc aired on NBC Universal’s Peacock streaming service in January.
According to the suit Combs is suing the network because the network aired the documentary knowing that a lot of the statements that were made about him were indeed false.
“Indeed, the entire premise of the Documentary assumes that Mr. Combs has committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him,” the complaint reads. “It maliciously and baselessly jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Combs is a ‘monster’ and ‘an embodiment of Lucifer’ with ‘a lot of similarities’ to Jeffrey Epstein.”
