Netflix defended its docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning after a spokesperson for Sean "Diddy" Combs labeled it "illegal." "The claims being made about Sean Combs: The Reckoning are false. The project has no ties to any past conversations between Sean Combs and Netflix," a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, December 2. "The footage of Combs leading up to his indictment and arrest were legally obtained. This is not a hit piece or an act of retribution. Curtis Jackson [50 Cent] is an executive producer but does not have creative control.
