Denial of Abuse Claims in *Sean Combs: The Reckoning*

In a statement released to Rolling Stone, Janice stated the documentary contains “inaccuracies” regarding Sean’s upbringing. She emphasized her role as a single mother, working multiple jobs to ensure a good education and comfortable life for her son.

“I raised Sean with love and hard work, not abuse,” Janice declared, aiming to set the record straight about their relationship.

Rebuttal of Specific Allegations

• Janice disputed comments from Tim Patterson, a supposed childhood friend, claiming his portrayal of their relationship was inaccurate.
• She also rejected allegations from Kirk Burrowes, co-founder of Bad Boy Entertainment, suggesting that Sean had slapped her. Janice called these claims “inaccurate and patently false.”

She lamented that Burrowes used a tragic event from their past to promote false narratives for personal gain. “That was a very sad day for all of us,” she said, referring to December 28, 1991, when a significant incident occurred in their lives.

Additionally, Janice criticized Burrowes for suggesting that Sean charged expenses related to the Notorious B.I.G.’s funeral back to the estate, calling it misleading.

Positive Reflection on Sean Combs

Janice characterized Sean as a devoted son who has provided her with both emotional and financial support through the years. “He has always been industrious and goal-oriented,” she noted.

Her final remarks urged for a public retraction of the unverifiable claims and highlighted the need for truthful representation of their family’s narrative.
