Sean “Diddy Combs fired off a blunt public warning ahead of today’s premiere of “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” calling the Netflix project a “shameful hit piece.” 

According to a statement from his team, the show uses what they describe as “stolen footage that was never authorized for release,” including intimate clips and private moments — material Diddy says he’s been collecting for decades with plans to tell his own story on his own terms. 

They argue it’s not just irresponsible — it’s “fundamentally unfair and illegal.” They also take aim at the fact that the project is being produced by 50 Cent, a long-time adversary, calling that choice a “personal breach of trust.” 

On the other side, Netflix and the doc’s director, Alexandria Stapleton, insist they obtained the footage legally and have secured the rights — saying the series aims to chronicle both Diddy’s rise to fame and the controversial allegations and criminal case that derailed him.
