Diddy allegedly threatened to practice cannibalism on Making the Band stars, according to contestant Sara Rivers.
According to a new documentary The Making of a Bad Boy, which premiered on Peacock this week, Rivers and her bandmates were the victims of threats from the media mogul during her time on the show between 2002 and 2004.

She said in the film, according to Variety: “When he got angry with one of my band members, he said, ‘You make me so mad I want to eat your flesh.’
“And then he said to another one of my band members, he said, ‘You’re rolling your eyes, I could go get a crackhead and pay them $20 to smack the shit out of you.’ Who says that? That’s crazy.”

Rivers also accused Diddy of groping her during the filming of the show: “He touched me in a place that he shouldn’t have. That was inappropriate. I felt intimidated, I felt like, ‘Oh my god, what the heck just happened just now?’
“I’m definitely nervous, because like I said, I haven’t said anything for so long and it’s built up. It’s been 20 years of going through my mind. This has happened, that’s happened, this was stopped. Mentally draining.”
Diddy, through his legal team, vehemently denied the claims in the documentary, which also features appearances from his former bodyguard Gene Deal and Al B. Sure, the New Jack Swing star and former partner of his late ex Kim Porter.
“This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months,” his lawyer said. “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.”
A number of other documentaries about the various allegations against Diddy are also in the works, including one from 50 Cent and Netflix.
However, the G-Unit boss recently admitted that the project was proving difficult to put together.
During an appearance on GMA3: What You Need to Know, 50 said: “It’s a difficult project. Because every day there’s new accusations coming out, it’s new things that happened. It’s become an octopus, with so many powers and so many things going on there.”

Diddy is currently in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges and has been named in a growing number of sexual assault lawsuits.
