Janice Combs Denies Diddy Laid Hands On Her

As mentioned, Janice is shutting down a narrative in the viral Netflix series about an alleged encounter with her son. Former Bad Boy Records co-founder Kirk Burrows said in one of the four episodes that Diddy slapped his mother while they were talking about the fatal stampede at City College on December 28, 1991. Nine people died, and almost 30 people suffered injuries from the incident at the overcrowded gym. ‘The Reckoning’ explored Sean Combs’ part in organizing and promoting the event, and how he handled the outcome.

In her written statement to DEADLINE, Janice Combs said her intent was to “correct some of the lies” in the Netflix docuseries. She said the “inaccuracies” were intentional to mislead the viewers, but also “further harm” the Combs’ family reputation. She said Burrows’ allegations that Diddy slapped her are “inaccurate and patently false.”

“That was a very sad day for all of us,” Janice Combs said of the New York City incident. “For [Kirk Burrows] to use this tragedy and incorporate fake narratives to further his prior failed and current attempt to gain what was never his, Bad Boy Records is wrong, outrageous and past offensive.”

Like his mom, Sean Combs has also strongly denied claims in the docuseries in a cease and desist letter that fell flat. Diddy, using his legal team, called out Netflix for its business with the show’s executive producer to make “a shameful hit piece.” Combs also claimed ‘The Reckoning’ featured stolen footage of him days before his arrest in September 2024. He said the videos were misappropriate content from Diddy’s own collection that he’s been building since he was 19.

Meanwhile, the filmmaker, Alexandria Stapleton, has already said the footage featured was obtained legally with the necessary rights. “We moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker’s identity confidential. One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades…,” according to Deadline.
