Janice Combs is speaking out against the "lies" in a new Netflix documentary about her son, Sean "Diddy" Combs.
In a statement provided to Deadline, the rap mogul's mother slammed the recently released Netflix documentary series "Sean Combs: The Reckoning," which was produced by 50 Cent. She alleged the four-episode series includes "inaccuracies regarding my son Sean's upbringing and family life" that were "intentionally done to mislead viewers and further harm our reputation."
"In the documentary, I am portrayed as an abusive parent," she said. "This is untrue. As I have stated previously, I was a single mother, raising my son, I held three and even four jobs in an attempt to provide a comfortable upbringing and quality education for my child. I raised Sean with love and hard work, not abuse."
USA TODAY has reached out to Netflix for comment.
The first episode of "Sean Combs: The Reckoning," which debuted Dec. 2, alleged that Combs received "beatings" at the hands of his mother when he was growing up.
"She held back nothing," Combs' childhood friend Tim Patterson said in the documentary. "His beatings made me scared. Right? I got beatings, now. But when he got his beatings, it wasn't no ... it wasn't a joking thing."
