US EditionSean "Diddy" Combs' Videographer Shares Claim About How 50 Cent, Netflix Obtained Footage for Docuseries
Michael Oberlies claims disputed Netflix footage of Sean Combs was released by a temporary freelancer, while Netflix and 50 Cent maintain legal acquisition of the material.
- On Dec. 2, the Netflix docuseries premiered and raised questions when Michael Oberlies said a freelancer who covered for him for three days released disputed footage of Sean "Diddy" Combs.
- In a Dec. 1 statement to Variety, Combs' spokesperson condemned the series as `a shameful hit piece` and accused Netflix of using `stolen footage` never authorized for release.
- The footage includes intimate behind-the-scenes moments such as Combs in a New York City hotel room days before his arrest, legal-team talks, and a Harlem scene; Oberlies says the clips were not authorized for release.
- Rolling Stone confirmed it contacted the unnamed freelancer but kept their identity confidential, while Oberlies denied any fee dispute as Combs serves a 50-month prison sentence.
- The controversy raises broader legal and ethical questions because critics and Combs' legal team say using the material risks misappropriation and undermines narrative control despite Curtis Jackson and Netflix's claims.
