Summary
So what is actually happening here?
In this segment, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the legal truth behind Diddy’s threats. We examine what it would take for Diddy to win a copyright claim over footage filmed by his own videographer — especially when some reports say there were no formal contracts at all. Eric explains how ownership works, how intellectual property law overlaps with employment agreements, and why “stolen footage” is much harder to prove than people realize.
We then dig into defamation. Diddy is a public figure — which means the “actual malice” standard applies. Eric walks us through how extraordinarily difficult it is for celebrities to win defamation cases, especially when a documentary includes on-camera statements from people like Kirk Burrowes rather than direct factual claims made by Netflix.
We also discuss Diddy’s active lawsuit against NBCUniversal, how his own sentencing-day statements may have severely weakened his claims, and whether 50 Cent — a vocal adversary — exposes himself to additional liability as an executive producer.
Finally, we break down how New York’s anti-SLAPP laws could turn the tables entirely, forcing Diddy to pay Netflix’s legal fees if a defamation claim is deemed retaliatory.
This is where legal threats meet actual law — and those two worlds rarely look the same.
