Bad Boy Co-Founder Alleges Mogul Abused Him in ‘Sexually …

Kirk Burrowes, the co-founder of Bad Boy Entertainment, delivers the most direct and personal accusation yet against Diddy in the new Sean Combs: The Reckoning docuseries.

Near the 59-minute mark in the Netflix series’ fourth episode, titled “Blink Again,” Burrowes alleges that he endured “sexually deviant” behavior from the disgraced music mogul.

“I’m also am a victim on multiple levels with Sean Combs,” Burrowes claimed.

Burrowes, who co-founded Bad Boy Entertainment with Diddy in 1993, explained that the alleged mistreatment he experienced went far beyond business conflict, saying, “Not only was he abusive to me from an employer-employee standpoint. He was also abusive to me in other ways.”

When the off-camera producer asks what he means, Burrowes responds, “Sexually deviant ways.”

He continued, “I did not want to do it. I didn’t want to be around him and take care of him as he’s SA-ing me and others.”

Further into the episode, Burrowes explained that he held 25% ownership of Bad Boy and worked relentlessly. After being fired, he tried to sue Combs to recover the value of his shares.

An archival news clip used in the documentary recounts his allegations that Combs cheated him out of millions and even ordered violent acts, including the supposed hit that killed Tupac Shakur in 1996.

“It was eventually labeled RICO and racketeering. I was the first to call it. But I was looked on as, ‘that has to be a lie,’” he said.

According to a 2006 report from The New York Post, Burrowes’ lawsuit was thrown out after appeals-court judges found that the allegations, dating to 1996, were too old for the case to move forward. Another previous lawsuit from Burrowes was also tossed out in 2003.

After the case faltered, Burrowes recalls, “I did not succeed and then I was banished from the business. For twenty five years, I was basically blacklisted and banned. Next thing you know: shelters, homelessness.”

Burrowes described a pattern of cruelty, saying, “With Sean, sometimes you’re humiliated, sometimes you’re made an example of, sometimes violent things happen to you. Through the years, a lot of bad things happened to good friends.”

He continued, “I made the big mistake in my life to think that when you are championing someone… and you are the holder of their secrets-the betrayal came at a great cost, and the way he handled me was to erase me. He remembers all of the people that said no and that might have slighted him. And there’s a price to pay for that.

“He’s devious, he’s calculating, master manipulator. I think in ways he’s soulless. And I think it’s hate crimes that Sean has perpetrated against countless people that have crossed this path.”

Tim “Dawg” Patterson, a childhood friend of Combs, is also heard saying in the docuseries that of everyone with grievances against Combs, “Kirk is probably the most legitimate… Bad Boy would not run unless Kirk was involved. He really caught a bad deal.”

According to legal documents reviewed by Rolling Stone, Burrowes filed another lawsuit against Diddy in March, claiming that he was subjected to unwanted sexual advances, nudity, exhibitionism and that the behavior eventually escalated to physical violence, blackmail, extortion, and blacklisting.

Diddy’s legal counsel denied Burrowes’ allegations, calling the lawsuit “another frivolous attempt to re-litigate claims that have been repeatedly thrown out of court over the past 30 years.”
