A woman who filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs alleging a brutal assault in 2018 will share her story in an upcoming Peacock documentary titled “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.” The alleged victim, identified only as Ashley in the film, speaks through tears about the traumatic incident and its lasting impact on her life.
According to People magazine, Ashley Parham filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Northern California last October, just weeks after Diddy’s arrest on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. In both the lawsuit and documentary, Parham describes a horrifying encounter that allegedly began when Diddy unexpectedly appeared at her friend Shane Pearce’s apartment in Orinda, California.
The visit allegedly came after Parham had previously expressed skepticism about Diddy during a FaceTime call, suggesting he was involved in Tupac Shakur’s 1996 death – a comment Diddy allegedly overheard and vowed to make her “pay” for. The lawsuit details disturbing allegations of assault involving Diddy, Pearce, and others, including threats made by Diddy’s associate Kristina Khorram.
“I’ve become incredibly reclusive,” Parham says in the documentary. “I don’t trust anyone.”
Diddy’s legal team has strongly denied the allegations, releasing a statement to People that calls the documentary “irresponsible journalism of the worst kind” for “providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations.”
His lawyers maintain that the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department investigated and found the claims “unfounded,” adding that Diddy wasn’t in Orinda on the day in question. The documentary, which features interviews with Diddy’s childhood friends, his bodyguard, and singer Al B. Sure!, is set to release Tuesday on Peacock. Meanwhile, Diddy remains in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting his May trial on separate charges.
