Janice Combs Plans 'Response Documentary'

Janice Combs, mother of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, is reportedly considering producing her own documentary in response to the Netflix docuseries "Sean Combs: The Reckoning." This potential project aims to counter claims made within the show, particularly those regarding her alleged "abusive" parenting. Sources indicate Janice Combs disputes specific allegations, such as those made by Sean's friend Tim Patterson, who claimed she hit the performer when he was younger.

"Sean Combs: The Reckoning," released in December, has faced significant backlash from Sean Combs himself, who has described it as a "shameful hit piece." His legal team is evaluating a potential lawsuit against Netflix, citing the alleged unlawful use of personal footage. The docuseries, produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and directed by Alexandria Stapleton, also covers Combs' recent legal issues, including his September 2024 arrest and conviction.

Both 50 Cent and Stapleton have denied claims of using stolen footage, though the exact methods of acquisition remain unclear. Combs' issues with the docuseries are further complicated by his long-standing feud with 50 Cent. Jackson, however, stated his intention was to hold Combs accountable and reflect that not all in hip-hop condone his alleged actions. Whether Janice Combs proceeds with her own documentary remains to be seen.
