A new Peacock documentary has reignited allegations against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, including a harrowing claim by a woman who accuses him of raping her with a remote control in 2018. The documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, which premieres January 14, delves into Combs' meteoric rise, personal controversies, and the allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct that have plagued his career.

The accuser, identified in the documentary only by her first name, Ashley, offers an emotional account of her alleged assault, breaking down in tears as she recounts the impact it has had on her life. "I've become incredibly reclusive," she says. "I don't trust anyone."

Ashley's lawsuit, filed in October 2024 under her full name, Ashley Parham, alleges that she met Combs at an Oakland apartment through a man she knew. According to the complaint, Parham was at a bar with the man, who FaceTimed Combs during their outing. She claims she remarked that she believed Combs had "something to do with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur." Combs allegedly responded that she would "pay" for the comment.

The following month, Parham alleges, Combs appeared at the man's apartment with several others, including his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram. The complaint claims that Combs held a knife to Parham's face before raping her with a remote control. Khorram allegedly threatened Parham, stating that she could be "shipped anywhere in the world" and would never see her family again.

Combs has vehemently denied the allegations. His legal team dismissed the claims as "fabricated," noting that law enforcement had investigated Parham's report and found it "unfounded." In a statement, Combs' attorneys said, "There is no evidence that Mr. Combs was ever even in the same room as Ms. Parham. She is completely unbelievable, and no sane person who views the evidence will credit her story."

The documentary provides further context through interviews with Parham's attorney, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, who suggests that the man Parham initially met was acting as a "scouter" for Combs. Mitchell-Kidd criticizes what she describes as a systemic failure to support victims who lack physical evidence, stating, "And that's the case for how many victims? They are not believed because there's no evidence."

In addition to Parham's story, the film features interviews with Combs' childhood friends, his bodyguard, and singer Al B. Sure!, who shares insights into Combs' personal and professional life.

Combs, currently in custody on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and other crimes, has pleaded not guilty. His trial is scheduled for May 2025. These allegations come amid a growing list of legal challenges for Combs, who faces over 30 civil lawsuits related to claims of sexual assault and harassment.

In a statement addressing the documentary, Combs' legal team accused Peacock and NBC of engaging in "irresponsible journalism of the worst kind." They alleged that the documentary perpetuates "the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months."

With Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy set to air, it promises to ignite further debate over the allegations and the accountability of powerful figures in the entertainment industry.
