According to USA Today, the producers of Fall of Diddy reached out to the incarcerated rapper's representatives for comment. They rejected all accusations against the Bad Boy Records founder, saying:

"Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction."
