A Netflix documentary on Diddy, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, will be released on December 2. However, ahead of the release, the documentary is facing backlash from the hip-hop mogul himself. Combs accused the documentary of using stolen footage without due permission. According to Variety, Juda Engelmayer said:“Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece. Today’s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.”The statement continued:“Netflix is plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs’s life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy. If Netflix cared about truth or about Mr. Combs’s legal rights, it would not be ripping private footage out of context – including conversations with his lawyers that were never intended for public viewing. No rights in that material were ever transferred to Netflix or any third party.”One of the executive producers of this documentary is 50 Cent. Diddy’s spokesperson also criticized the rapper. Nevertheless, Juda noted that the incident broke Diddy’s trust. Juda mentioned that Combs’ personal story should not have gone into 50 Cent’s hands since the latter had defamed him. The statement said:“At minimum, he expected fairness from people he respected.”What did Alexandria Stapleton and 50 Cent say about the documentary on Diddy?Alexandria Stapleton is a director of the documentary. Per Variety, they received the concerned footage through legal means. They also tried not to disclose the filmmaker’s identity. Speaking about Diddy, she said:“One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades. We also reached out to Sean Combs’ legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but did not hear back.”During an interview with NBC News’s Chloe Melas, 50 Cent was asked how they obtained the footage. He said:“I figured most journalists would not disclose their sources.”She then asked if Combs knew they had included certain information in the documentary, and 50 Cent replied:“I would doubt he knows.”Melas then asked what Diddy intended to use the footage for. 50 Cent replied that he was clueless. Alexandria Stapleton, who was also part of the conversation, said:“I mean, you know, you are talking about a man who films himself doing everything and has for decades. I think he wanted someone to be behind the scenes with him.”Melas noted that when viewers watch the documentary, they could realize that 50 Cent disliked Diddy. The rapper replied that he hated Combs but also hired his children. Despite that, they had never done anything to each other. 50 Cent said it was all about being in competition in the industry, and most people also say such things about each other.Meanwhile, Stapleton added that the documentary had new information which nobody had put together before.
