4/24 – A New York judge dismissed a $100 million defamation lawsuit filed by Sean Combs against NBCUniversal, Peacock, and the producers of the documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. Combs argued that the documentary falsely portrayed him as involved in multiple crimes, including murder and sex trafficking. The judge ruled Combs could not prove “gross negligence” because the documentary presented competing viewpoints, disclosed the biases of interview subjects, and included responses from Combs’s own representatives. The court also concluded that Combs could not show additional reputational harm because of the extensive public allegations and legal controversies already surrounding him before the documentary aired.
