Diddy Says Producer Stole Footage For 50 Cent’s Netflix Documentary In New Countersuit
The imprisoned mogul is finally suing over 50 Cent’s Netflix documentary, but his lawsuit doesn’t actually target the streaming giant or his archnemesis.
Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has filed a countersuit against Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, alleging that the producer stole documentary footage for 50 Cent's Netflix series about Diddy's downfall. The footage was allegedly used in "Sean Combs: The Reckoning," a six-part Netflix documentary on sexual abuse accusations that led to Diddy's four-year prison sentence.
Diddy claims Jones broke federal and state laws to illegally obtain the footage and exploit it for personal gain. Jones, who previously sued Combs for sexual assault, demanded to be interviewed on camera for the series, a request Diddy's lawyers deemed a "bargained-for opportunity" that Jones exploited to spread false accusations.
Diddy denies all allegations and has previously threatened to sue Netflix to block the documentary's release, but ultimately did not take action.
