"Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs have sent Netflix a cease-and-desist on the eve of premiere of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a new four-part documentary about the disgraced hip-hop mogul. In a letter sent to Netflix on Monday, Combs' attorney, Michael Tremonte, threatened legal action for copyright infringement or possession of stolen property if the series is released as planned on Tuesday."
"As previewed by 50 Cent and director Alexandria Stapleton during an appearance on Good Morning America on Monday, the documentary features footage of Combs in a New York City hotel room, speaking with his lawyers just days before his arrest. "I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution," he says. "Y'all are not working together the right way. We're losing.""
"Alexandria Stapleton, the director of the documentary, said in a statement issued by Netflix that the project's filmmakers obtained the footage legally and have the "necessary rights" to it."
Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs issued a cease-and-desist to Netflix ahead of the premiere of a four-part documentary titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, alleging copyright infringement and possession of stolen property if the series airs. Combs' attorney claims Netflix approached Combs in 2023 about making a documentary, which Combs declined due to creative differences, and that Netflix then provided footage to rival 50 Cent, who served as executive producer. Previewed footage includes Combs speaking with lawyers days before his arrest and scenes of him greeting fans in Harlem. The director states the filmmakers obtained the footage legally and hold necessary rights. The documentary also includes interviews with two jurors from Combs' trial.
