Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy

Unfortunately this documentary seems to have fallen down a sensationalist hole. There is a fair amount of what appears to be damning testimony and interesting context to Diddy, his background, rise and fall, but it's seemingly constantly embellished by hot takes about childhood trauma, conspiracy theories and at times some of the personalities don't exactly come across as genuine or authentic. The result is a tabloid-like doc that doesn't feel serious.

Hopefully things will be clearer when Diddy has his day in court. It's clear that he has done some extremely awful things (the assault of Cassie is both undeniable and inexcusable), but the documentary doesn't really do much to truly help us understand the extent of his deeds one way or the other.

Interesting for me here in Sweden. I follow the downfall of Diddy from a distance.

It starts all right with a look into his childhood and some good scenes with a guy called Tim Patterson. He tells about how Puff was raised and I as a viewer I get some valuable insights.

But then, it gets pretty unfocused. There are a lot of accusations - rape, drugging, violence, all you can think of. The score is like a mix of something from a horror movie and a block buster trailer. A lot of slams, eerie sounds and bombastic stuff.

Far from a minimal approach. I think it gets kind of shallow. It's more like a Wikipedia of accusations than a real movie with a solid storytelling.

As anyone with an IQ over 50 will realise, we live in an era of trial by mediia.

Add to that the socio-cultural misandrist agenda the media perpetuates, plenty of 'he said, she said' and you have a viable product in itself.

My main problem with this whole phenomenon is the man has not been found guilty of anything in court.

In this 'documentary' there are plenty of relative nobodies claiming to have knowledge of all manner of behaviour, which is damning in and of itself.

However I draw the line when: I don't have all the facts; it's Hollywood so whose agenda is on display here? And furthermore, until he is charged, I have no respect for this low quality type of 'investigative journalism'.

Whatever happened to ethics in the media?

Why do we allow one of the most powerful institutions on this planet to serve up sensationalist rumour and here-say?

A low, low point in the history of the media again.

I'm disgusted by not only the level of this, but the eagerness of the public to consume it and believe it.

'By giving us the opinions of the uneducated journalism keeps us in constant contact with the community.' Oscar Wilde.

If 1/2 of this is true, give him day in court. Release ALL tapes, videos etc and taking him to the gallows Either way he is a P. O. S. The way the rappers, gangsta's, hip hoppers and all the other so called "music" has created a culture that has not been beneficial to this or any society.

As far as this documentary goes, it seemed that a few of the interviewed appeared to be embellishing a little. What is true? Who knows, but we never did find any truths with Epstein.... Will we with Diddy Dipspit ? Doubt it.

Either way, there is the video outside the hotel room that shows the true color of this thug. ANY man that lays hands on a woman, let alone kicks her, should be beat themselves.

I liked this documentary. I liked Tim because he confirmed for me exactly what I thought was the beginning of Puffs crazy world- His mother Janice Combs along with those in the industry who may have made Puff do things for that power.

Me , my sister and a few friends was at City College that night. We were stuck in the crowd. It was so crowded on that staircase that my feet wasn't touching the stairs anymore. I got into the gym. My friend April was one of the last people I saw get through the doors before I saw dead bodies being pulled into the gym. I did a show about this on my YouTube page years ago "Straight Talk With Ms. Tee.

Also my uncle is one of the guys who got Puff's father into the Nicky Barnes crew. Please know it's only alleged that Melvin snitched. IT'S NOT A FACT.
