"If its subject gets his way, the new documentary series Sean Combs: The Reckoning might not be available on Netflix for long. On Monday, lawyers on behalf of Combs sent a cease and desist letter to the streamer, demanding that the series be withdrawn based on the inclusion of footage that they claim violates copyright, and involves discussions of legal strategy that were not intended for public viewing."
"After watching the series, you can see why Combs might be rattled. This is a man whose fall from grace last year was sudden and comprehensive, and yet Sean Combs: The Reckoning feels like the moment of no return for him. It does such a thorough job of laying out and backing up so many horrific allegations that his way back to stardom is surely blocked for ever."
"Combs variously known throughout his career as Puffy, Puff Daddy, P Diddy, Diddy and Love AKA Brother Love is serving a 50-month prison sentence for transportation to engage in prostitution. Additionally, he faces a tidal wave of civil cases from former girlfriends, employees and associates, hitting him with a laundry list of accusations that includes (but is not limited to) rape, sex trafficking, false imprisonment and physical abuse."
