The documentary sheds light on disturbing allegations against Diddy
A new documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, premiering on January 14 on Peacock, has brought to light harrowing allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the disgraced music mogul. The film delves into multiple accusations of abuse, rape, assault, prostitution, and racketeering against Combs. Among the most shocking claims is the story of Ashley Parham, who alleges that Diddy raped her with a remote control in 2018.
Ashley Parham recounts her traumatic ordeal
Ashley Parham, identified in the film by her first name and full name in legal filings, shared her deeply painful experience. While her face does not appear on screen, her voice trembles as she recounts the alleged assault. Parham stated that she has “become incredibly reclusive” and struggles to trust others due to the trauma.
In October 2024, Parham filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Northern California. According to her account, she first encountered Diddy through a mutual acquaintance in Oakland, California. She alleged that Diddy arrived at the acquaintance’s apartment with several others, including his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram.
Parham revealed in the documentary that a prior remark she made about Diddy—suggesting his involvement in the murder of Tupac Shakur—may have triggered his anger. “He said I would ‘pay’ for what I said,” she recounted.
Allegations of violence and intimidation
According to the lawsuit and the documentary, the night of the alleged assault was marked by violence and threats. Parham claimed Diddy held a knife to her face before raping her with a remote control. She also alleged that Khorram threatened her, stating that she could be “shipped anywhere in the world” and never see her family again.
In the documentary, Parham’s attorney provided additional details, emphasizing the fear and psychological toll the incident has taken on her. “It’s a struggle for her to live a normal life,” the attorney said.
Testimonies from former employees of Diddy
The documentary features additional accounts from Diddy’s former employees, including bodyguards and interns, who reveal troubling insights into his behavior. One ex-employee alleged that Diddy orchestrated “wild sex nights” and forced staff to clean up afterward. Another described him as someone people avoided unless cameras were present.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct and criminal behavior. His legal team has dismissed the claims in Parham’s lawsuit as baseless and defamatory.
The documentary’s release has reignited discussions about accountability in the entertainment industry, as well as the culture of silence that often protects powerful individuals. Viewers and critics alike are calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations.
As Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy premieres, it promises to be a critical moment in examining the legacy of one of the most controversial figures in modern music.
