However, lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs criticized the documentary in a statement to Newsweek on Friday: "These documentaries include unchecked claims and provide platforms for baseless conspiracy theories without accountability or evidence.

"In the case of the Peacock documentary in particular, the motivations and credibility of those being interviewed must be questioned. Many claim to have knowledge but lack any connection to the truth, while their wild, unfounded theories are cut and sensationalized to appear factual," they said.
Is Diddy in Jail?
Yes, Combs, 55, has been jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, since September, when he was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Three different judges have denied him bail on three separate occasions.
Combs is also the subject of more than 25 civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct.
Why It Matters
A trailer for The Making of a Bad Boy has revealed that members of Combs' inner circle, including his former bodyguard, an intern, a makeup artist and a producer are interviewed in the doc.
Singer and producer Al B. Sure! will also speak for the first time about his relationship with Kim Porter before she dated Combs.

How to watch Peacock's 'Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy'
The documentary begins streaming on Peacock on January 14. To watch the documentary, you'll need a Peacock subscription.
Peacock offers various subscription plans, including a free tier with limited content and premium tiers that provide access to their full library, including exclusive content such as this documentary.
What To Know
A woman at the beginning of the Peacock trailer said, "Sean Combs is a monster."
"Honestly, I didn't want to be around him unless there were cameras," another unidentified woman said.
A third unidentified woman said, "They said they could ship me off and sell me to anyone," likely referring to Combs' federal sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges.
One unidentified man, whose voice has been distorted, said, "I've been with Sean for quite a while and I've captured a lot of moments. Any time a studio or any room is red, he's making love and sex. Some of the girls who were in the room, for sure they were underage."
Another man said of Combs: "He thought that if people fear him, they respect him."
What People Are Saying
Former professional football player Shannon Sharpe on whether he ever attended a Diddy party on his podcast: "I ain't never been invited. I ain't that big. I mean, maybe if I was in the position I'm in now, but back then, no. I don't get invited to no parties. Plus, I'm a homebody."
Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser while hosting the Golden Globes on Sunday: "It [the movie Challengers] was so good. I mean, that movie was more sexually charged than Diddy's credit card."
What Happens Next
Combs' sex trafficking trial is set to begin in New York on May 5.
