Robin Roberts sat down with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson—longtime rival of Sean “Diddy” Combs—and director Alexandria Stapleton to discuss their new documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. December 2 on Netflix
A representative for Diddy told @NYTimes that his team did not authorize the use of personal footage in the upcoming Netflix documentary, implying that Netflix may have handed over the material without approval.
Juda Engelmayer said Diddy’s legal team is “deeply concerned” that the series plans to include what they consider unauthorized content, such as “private moments, pre-indictment material from an unfinished project, and conversations involving legal strategy.”
“None of this was obtained from Sean Combs or his team, and its inclusion raises very serious questions about how this material was accessed and why Netflix chose to use it,” the statement said, noting that Mr. Combs’s lawyers have been in contact with Netflix.
Engelmayer added that Mr. Combs had been developing his own documentary prior to his arrest and had been in discussions with Netflix, but those talks stalled over the extent of creative control he would retain.
The spokesman’s statement called it “troubling” that Netflix granted creative authority on the project to Mr. Jackson, describing him as a “longtime public adversary.”
