The Netflix documentary, “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” has been in the headlines due to the salacious details about the alleged acts the rap mogul has committed.
Now Janice Combs, his mother, has attacked the docuseries for “inaccuracies.”
According to Deadline, she struck back over what has been stated in several interviews and stories told in the doc about her son, his upbringing, and her role in rearing him.
“I am writing this statement to correct some of the lies presented in the Netflix, Sean Combs: The Reckoning
, released on December 2, 2025,” she stated to the media outlet. “These inaccuracies regarding my son Sean’s upbringing and family life is intentionally done to mislead viewers and further harm our reputation.”She denied accusations that she was an abusive parent and that there was a physical altercation between them.
“The allegations
stated by Mr. Kirk Burrows (Diddy’s former business partner) that my son slapped me while we were conversing after the tragic City College events on December 28, 1991, are inaccurate and patently false,” Combs said. “That was a very sad day for all of us.“For him 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, outrageous, and past offensive.”
In the statement, she also disputed what Diddy’s childhood friend, Tim “Dawg” Patterson, said about how she treated her son as a child. Patterson grew up with Diddy and was a close friend of the mogul.
She ended her letter by writing, “I am requesting that these distortions, falsehoods and misleading statements be publicly retracted.”
Diddy is currently serving a 50-month prison term in New Jersey at Fort Dix, after being convicted on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act in July.
