What to know about the allegations in new documentary 'Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy'
Peacock's documentary special includes new allegations from Da Band singer Sara Rivers, a former employee and more. Here's what to know.
Da Band singer Sara Rivers says she heard Sean Combs make plenty of outrageous threats while working with him on MTVâs âMaking the Band 2.â
âWhen he got angry with one of my band members, he said, âYou make me so mad I want to eat your flesh,ââ Rivers alleges in the new documentary special âDiddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,â out now on Peacock. She also claims Combs once told another band member that it would be easy to hire someone to âsmash the sâ out ofâ them.
Rivers says these outbursts and other behavior by Combs made her want to avoid being alone with him.
âI didnât want to be around him unless there were cameras,â Rivers says. âHe touched me in a place that he shouldnât have.â
The documentary is the first time Rivers has spoken out about the alleged incident and is among the new accusations featured in âThe Making of a Bad Boy.â
In a statement to the filmmakers, Combsâ attorney says the disgraced hip-hop mogul âunequivocally denies the baseless allegations being circulated in connection with this documentary. Regarding the legal cases referenced, Mr. Combs will not comment on pending litigation.â

The documentary special arrives following Combsâ September arrest on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prior to the indictment, numerous people â including Combsâ former girlfriend Casandra âCassieâ Ventura â accused him of sexually and physically abusing them. Many more allegations have followed. Combs has denied all of the accusations.
In addition to Rivers, âThe Making of a Bad Boyâ features interviews with Combsâ childhood friend, a former bodyguard, attorneys representing Combsâ accusers, journalists and others who were in the artistâs orbit, including singer and outspoken Combs critic Al B. Sure. Here are four other takeaways from the documentary special.
Combs former girlfriend Kim Porter, who died in 2018, is brought up a number of times in âThe Making of a Bad Boy,â with some interview subjects alleging that Combs abused her. The film states that âthere was no evidence that Kim Porter was the victim of domestic violence.â
Sure, also known as Albert Brown III, had a son, Quincy, with Porter before she became involved with Combs. The former music executive is among those who raise suspicions about the circumstances around Porterâs death in âThe Making of a Bad Boy.â
According to Sure, Porter warned him about Combs, advising Sure to stay out of Quincyâs life because of Combsâ alleged possessiveness.
âKimberly said ⊠âDonât get involved. You will get killed,ââ Sure says, declining to delve into any further details, citing ongoing legal issues. âLetâs just say, you got to listen to Kimberly. Because not only was she trying to save me, she was putting her own life in danger.â The documentary notes that no officials have found any evidence to indicate Porter died of suspicious or unnatural causes. Porter and Combsâ children spoke out about the âmany hurtful and false rumorsâ about their parentsâ relationship in September.
Sure, who had his own near-fatal medical crisis in 2022, also suggested that his own health scare involved foul play.
âI kept a record of every single one of you that was sent to set me up, to assist in the attempted murder of Al B. Sure,â he said.

The documentary special also includes an audio interview with a former Bad Boy employee who asked to remain anonymous âbecause Sean Combs for over three decades, allegedly, heâs had people hurt.â
âThereâs so much I do know,â claims the former employee, who also provides never-before-seen video from the time heâs spent with Combs. âIâve seen this guy be very, very violent. Heâs just been getting away with it for way, far too long.â
In addition to speaking about Combsâ temperament and accusing him of a propensity for violence, the former Bad Boy staffer sheds some light onto the mogulâs alleged sex parties, saying he was tasked with recruiting girls to attend the events. He also claims that Combs once spent the night with girls that were âfor sure underage.â
The former employee, who says he first met Combs in 2015 or 2016, also alleges that Combs once showed him videos of two men having sex while telling him that âthis is what people do in the industry to get to the top.â
When asked by a producer the kinds of things he was asked to do by Combs, the former employee says it was âa very touchy thing to talk aboutâ and that he didnât want to comment further.
Appearing without showing her face, a woman identified as Ashley alleges that she was held at knifepoint, gang raped and also raped with a TV remote by Combs and his friends in 2018. In addition to detailing her encounter and suggesting the police failed to properly investigate her claims, Ashley mentions that she has been living in isolation after becoming âincredibly reclusive.â (Ashley Parham filed a federal lawsuit accusing Combs of assault in October. Combs has reportedly denied the claims.)
Among Combsâ friends interviewed for the special is Tim Patterson, who lived in Combsâ suburban childhood home when they were younger. Patterson speaks about the difficulty Combs had regarding the absence of his father, who was killed when he was very young, as well as what life was like for them in the home.
According to Patterson, Combsâ mother, Janice, threw parties there, where it wasnât uncommon to walk in on people engaged in sexual activities. Attendees of these parties included âdrug addicts ... lesbians ... homosexuals ... pimps [and] pushers.â
âPeople that attended the parties were from Harlem, from the streets,â says Patterson. âIt wouldnât be a thing to mistakenly walk into one of the bedrooms and you got a couple in there butt naked.â
