Janice Combs, mother of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has firmly denied allegations of abuse involving her son.

In a statement to Deadline on Saturday, she addressed inaccuracies she claims are present in the Netflix documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” which premiered on December 2, 2025.

“The misleading portrayal of Sean’s upbringing and our family life is intentional and damaging to our reputation,” Janice, now 85, stated.

Janice, who previously worked as a teacher’s assistant, specifically refuted allegations made by Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes. Burrowes accused Sean, now 56, of “slapping” his mother during a conversation about the tragic 1991 City College stampede, an event orchestrated by the rapper, resulting in nine deaths. She labeled these claims as “inaccurate and patently false.”

Reflecting on the tragedy, Janice mentioned, “That was a profoundly sad day for all of us,” referring to the devastating incident that occurred in the overcrowded school gym.

“For him to use this tragedy and incorporate fake narratives to further his prior failed and current attempt to gain what was never his, Bad Boy Records is wrong, outrageous and past offensive,” Janice added.

“I am requesting that these distortions, falsehoods and misleading statements be publicly retracted.”

In the “Reckoning” documentary, which was executive produced by Sean’s arch nemesis, 50 Cent, Burrowes, who founded Bad Boy Entertainment with Sean in the early ’90s, claimed he witnessed the Revolt co-founder hitting Janice.

“I saw Janice question Sean [about his future]. He’s going into this music business thing. He just left school, and now this extreme tragedy has occurred,” Burrowes recalled.

“She’s like, ‘Did he make the right decision?’ And I saw him put his hands on her. Call her a bitch and slapped her,” the music producer alleged.

Burrowes filed multiple lawsuits against Sean, his mother, Janice, and others, alleging sexual abuse, physical violence, financial fraud and a conspiracy to seize his ownership stake in the Bad Boy company.

Burrowes claims that in 1996, Sean, who was allegedly wielding a baseball bat, forced the hitmaker to sign over a 25% ownership stake in Bad Boy Entertainment.

Burrowes has also sued Janice for allegedly conspiring to assume control of his share and concealing the fraud unlawfully.

In March, Burrowes accused the “I’ll Be Missing You” emcee of a “deeply disturbing pattern” of abuse, including unwanted sexual advances, forced voyeurism, physical coercion, and forced submission between 1995 and 1996.

In a statement, Sean’s legal team denied Burrowes’ allegations. “This latest lawsuit filed by Kirk Burrowes, filed by none other than Tyrone Blackburn, is another frivolous attempt to re-litigate claims that have been repeatedly thrown out of court over the past 30 years,” the lawyers said.

“Despite repeated dismissals, Burrowes and Blackburn are intent on wasting the court’s time and resources by refiling dismissed claims and now dragging Mr. Combs’ 80 year old mother into this.“

Sean is currently behind bars, serving a 50-month sentence for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The hip-hop giant is expected to be released in June 2028.

“Sean Combs: The Reckoning” is available to stream on Netflix.
