P Diddy thought people would 'respect him if they feared him,' new documentary alleges

A new documentary is taking a deep dive into the rise and fall of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, with the rapper being accused of wanting to make people "fear him."

Peacock is set to release a 90-minute film all about the Bad Boy Records founder, titled Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The documentary will air on January 14 and will feature interviews with attorneys, music producers and Combs' friends.

In a trailer for the documentary, one unidentified man is heard talking about how Diddy interacted with other people. The rapper's attorneys have slammed the documentary as a "baseless conspiracy theory."

"He thought that if people feared him, they would respect him," the source said in the trailer. An anonymous woman was also heard alleging, "They said they could ship me off and sell me to anyone."

Attorney Lisa Bloom, who is representing some of Combs' accusers, called him a "monster" in the trailer. The musician was arrested in September and is currently awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

He is facing charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He is also facing a number of civil lawsuits which include allegations of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse.

Combs has vehemently denied all of the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty in court. In a statement shared with The Mirror US, his legal team has slammed the new documentary.

"These documentaries include unchecked claims and provide platforms for baseless conspiracy theories without accountability or evidence," the statement began. "In the case of the Peacock documentary in particular, the motivations and credibility of those being interviewed must be questioned."

The statement continued, "Many claim to have knowledge but lack any connection to the truth, while their wild, unfounded theories are cut and sensationalized to appear factual. Sean Combs unequivocally denies these false allegations, which are harmful, defamatory, and unsupported by credible evidence. It is deeply concerning how such narratives can influence public perception and prejudice the legal process. Mr. Combs deserves his day in court with an impartial jury, free from the taint of these baseless claims. The facts will be addressed in court, where truth—not fiction—will prevail."
