A woman who accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her with a remote control tearfully recounted the alleged incident in Peacock’s new documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.”
In the film, which comes out on Tuesday, the accuser identified only by her first name, Ashley, sat down with her attorney to discuss the alleged 2018 assault.
Ashley, who sued Combs in October 2024, claimed the alleged rape completely altered the trajectory of her life.
“I’ve become incredibly reclusive,” she told filmmakers through tears, per People. “I don’t trust anyone.”
In her October filing, Ashley claimed Combs “gang-raped” her as revenge for suggesting he had “something to do with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.”
The accuser claimed she met one of Combs’ friends at a bar in early 2018 and they got to talking about the music mogul, who she was not “impressed” by.
The friend allegedly FaceTimed Combs and she shared her opinions on Shakur’s 1996 death — which he said she would “pay” for, per the filing.
In the new documentary, Ashley — whose face was covered — and her attorney claimed that the pal was actually a “scouter” for Combs.
One month after meeting the man, he allegedly invited Ashley to his home — which was actually a “set up,” she claimed in the lawsuit.
She claimed Combs showed up to the apartment with a few other people, including his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram.
Ashley alleged that Combs pressed a knife against her face and threatened to give her a “Glasgow smile” — a large cut from the corners of the mouth — for her comments about Shakur.
He then allegedly took off her clothes, doused her in a drug-laced liquid substance and raped her with a TV remote.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper and two other men then allegedly raped her anally before she was vaginally raped by a fourth man, according to the suit.
Khorram also allegedly threatened Ashley, suggesting they could ship her anywhere in the world without an issue. Khorram previously denied the allegations.
On Monday, Combs’ attorneys once again called Ashley’s claims “fabricated” after vehemently denying the accusations when they were first levied against the musician.
“This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months,” his legal team wrote in a statement.

“It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.”
Combs’ legal team claimed the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department had already “thoroughly investigated” Ashley’s report and “determined the claims were ‘unfounded.'”
“Mr. Combs was nowhere near Orinda, Calif., on the day she claims she was assaulted,” they continued. “There is no evidence that Mr. Combs was ever even in the same room as Ms. Parham. She is completely unbelievable and no sane person who views the evidence will credit her story.”
Along with Ashley, Peacock’s new 90-minute doc also features interviews with Combs’ former bodyguard, an anonymous Bad Boy employee, his makeup artist, Al B. Sure! and an old friend.
Dozens of men and women have come forward with claims of sexual assault ever since Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit in November 2023.
Combs has been behind bars in Brooklyn since September 2024 after being slapped with federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He pleaded not guilty.
His trial is currently set for May 2025.
