50 Cent’s Diddy documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, has received its Netflix release date.
The streamer confirmed that the upcoming title is set to premiere on December 2. Sean Combs: The Reckoning will arrive as a four-part documentary with Alexandria Stapleton directing and Fif executive producing. “Sean Combs: The Reckoning is a staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend, and convicted offender,” a brief description states.
No additional information, including interviewees or a full trailer, were revealed.
“Being a woman in the industry, and going through the #MeToo movement — watching giants in music and film go on trial, and to know what their outcomes were … When Cassie dropped her lawsuit, I just thought this could go a million different directions,” Stapleton said. “I wondered how she had the confidence to go out there against a mogul like Sean Combs. As a filmmaker, I instantly knew it was a stress test of whether we’ve changed as a culture, as far as being able to process allegations like this in a fair way.
“This isn’t just about the story of Sean Combs or the story of Cassie, or the story of any of the victims, or the allegations against him, or the trial. Ultimately, this story is a mirror [reflecting us] as the public, and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal. I hope [this documentary] is a wake-up call for how we idolize people, and to understand that everybody is a human being,” she added.
“I’ve been committed to real storytelling for years through G-Unit Film and Television,” 50 shared. “I’m grateful to everyone who came forward and trusted us with their stories, and proud to have Alexandria Stapleton as the director on the project to bring this important story to the screen.”
Diddy is currently serving a four-year jail sentence after being found guilty of two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution involving ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a second ex-girlfriend and male sex workers. He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
