Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/strong>\u2018 representative has heavily criticized Netflix and 50 Cent<\/strong>\u2019s latest docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning<\/strong>. They\u2019ve reportedly described the documentary as a \u201cshameful hit piece\u201d and an attempt to \u201csensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix\u2019s Sean Combs: The Reckoning explores the legal troubles surrounding American music producer Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs. However, Comb\u2019s representative has criticized the docuseries for using \u201cstolen footage\u201d and had \u201cexpected fairness\u201d from the streaming giant (via Variety<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cNetflix\u2019s so-called \u2018documentary\u2019 is a shameful hit piece. Today\u2019s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release,\u201d the official statement read.<\/p>\n It continues, \u201cAs Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.\u201d<\/p>\n The statement then accused the company of using the footage to \u201csensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs\u2019s life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy.\u201d It added emphatically that if Netflix \u201ccared about truth,\u201d they would not use the footage \u201cout of context.\u201d<\/p>\n The statement also called out the docuseries\u2019 producer and rapper Curtis 50 Cent. It alleged Jackson to be a \u201clongtime adversary with a personal vendetta\u201d against Combs. The rep also claimed that the whole situation is a \u201cpersonal breach of trust,\u201d since Combs has \u201clong respected\u201d Netflix\u2019s CEO, Ted Sarandos.<\/p>\n After Comb\u2019s representative released the statement, Variety reached out to Netflix for a response. Instead of providing an official response, Netflix\u2019s spokesperson referred the outlet to a quote from the series\u2019 director, Alexandria Stapleton.<\/p>\n \u201cIt came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights,\u201d Stapleton said. \u201cWe moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker\u2019s identity confidential. One thing about Sean Combs is that he\u2019s always filming himself, and it\u2019s been an obsession throughout the decades.\u201d<\/p>\n Stapleton further added, \u201cWe also reached out to Sean Combs\u2019 legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but did not hear back.\u201d<\/p>\n Sean Combs: The Reckoning is currently streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Harsha Panduranga on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Diddy Blasts Netflix & 50 Cent for \u2018Shameful Hit Piece\u2019 Docuseries<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs\u2018 representative has heavily criticized Netflix and 50 Cent\u2019s latest docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
