Da Band singer Sara Rivers says she’s heard Sean Combs he made numerous outrageous threats while working with him on MTV’s “Making the Band 2.”

“When he got angry with one of my band members, he said, ‘You’re making me so angry that I want to eat your meat,’” Rivers claims in the new documentary special “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” now available on Peacocks. He also claims that Combs once told another band member that it would be easy to hire someone to “blow” them away.

Rivers claims that these outbursts and other behavior by Combs made her want to avoid being alone with him.

“I didn’t want to be around him unless there were cameras,” Rivers says. “He touched me where he shouldn’t have.”

In the documentary, Rivers speaks out for the first time about the alleged incident and is among the new accusations made in “The Making of a Bad Boy.”

In a statement to the filmmakers, Combs’ lawyer states that the disgraced hip-hop mogul “unequivocally denies the baseless allegations circulating in connection with this documentary. With respect to the legal matters mentioned, Mr. Combs will not comment on pending legal proceedings.

The documentary special will follow Combs’ film September arrested on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution. Before the indictment, among others many people — including Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” by Ventura — she accused him of sexual and physical harassment. Much more allegations they followed. Combs has denied all accusations.

In addition to Rivers, “The Making of a Bad Boy” includes interviews with Combs’ childhood friend, former bodyguard, lawyers representing Combs’ accusers, journalists and others who were in the artist’s circle of interests, including singer and outspoken Combs critic Al B. Bright. Here are four other takeaways from the special documentary.

Al B. Sure offers explosive theories about Kim Porter’s death and his own health problems

Combs’ ex-girlfriend Kim Porter, who died in 2018, appears multiple times in “The Making of a Bad Boy,” and some people in interviews have alleged that Combs abused her. The video states that “there was no evidence that Kim Porter was a victim of domestic violence.”

Sure, also known as Albert Brown III, had a son, Quincy, with Porter before she became involved with Combs. The former music executive is among those raising suspicions about the circumstances surrounding Porter’s death in “The Making of a Bad Boy.”

According to Sure, Porter warned him about Combs, advising Sure to stay out of Quincy’s life due to Combs’ alleged possessiveness.

“Kimberly said… ‘Don’t get involved. You will be killed,” Sure says, declining to go into further details, citing ongoing legal issues. “Let’s just say you need to listen to Kimberly. Because not only was she trying to save me, but she was also putting her life in danger.” The document noted that officials found no evidence indicating Porter died of suspicious or unnatural causes.many hurtful and false rumors” about their parents’ relationship in September.

Sure, who had his own almost fatal one medical crisis in 2022, he also suggested that his own health concerns were related to foul play.

“I kept a record of every single one of you who was sent to frame me and help with the attempted murder of Al B. Sure,” he said.

A former Bad Boy Entertainment employee speaks out

The special also includes an audio interview with a former Bad Boy employee who requested anonymity “because Sean Combs has allegedly been hurting people for over thirty years.”

“I know so much,” says the former employee, who also shares never-before-seen video from his time at Combs. “I saw this guy be very, very brutal. He’s simply been getting away with it for far too long.

In addition to talking about Combs’ temperament and accusing him of being prone to violence, the former Bad Boy employee shed some light on the mogul’s alleged sex parties, saying it was his job to recruit girls for the events. He also claims that Combs once spent the night with girls who were “definitely underage.”

The former employee, who claims he first met Combs in 2015 or 2016, also claims that Combs once showed him videos of two men having sex, telling him that “that’s what people in the industry do to get into peak”.

When asked by the producer what Combs asked him to do, the former employee said it was “very sensitive to talk about” and did not want to comment further.

Diddy’s accuser details her alleged rape

The woman identified as Ashley, who appears without showing her face, claims that in 2018, Combs and his friends held her at knifepoint, gang-raped her and raped her with a TV remote control. In addition to describing the details of the encounter and suggesting that police did not properly investigate her claims, Ashley mentions that she has been living in isolation after becoming “incredibly lonely.” (Ashley Parham filed a federal lawsuit in October accusing Combs of assault. Combs reportedly denied the claims.)

Combs’ mother allegedly they also organized erotic parties

Combs’ friends interviewed for the special include Tim Patterson, who lived in Combs’ suburban home as a child. Patterson talks about the difficulties Combs had due to the absence of his father, who died when he was very young, and what their life was like at home.

According to Patterson, Combs’ mother, Janice, hosted parties there, which often featured people engaged in sexual activity. Attendees at these parties included “drug addicts… lesbians… homosexuals… pimps (and) traffickers.”

“The people who attended the parties were from Harlem, off the streets,” Patterson says. “It wouldn’t be fair if we walked into one of the bedrooms by mistake and found a couple with their butts naked.”
