Celebrity reporter pens scathing open letter to Netflix over its Sean 'Diddy' Combs docuseries deal with 'hypocrite' and accused 'abuser' 50 Cent

Sara Hammel has written a new open letter to decry Netflix's bid for the G-Unit Film and Production Studios' series due to 50 Cent's own checkered past with abuse allegations from women.

But as Hammel pointed out in her letter, 50 Cent – real name Curtis Jackson III – has a lengthy history of abuse allegations of his own, beginning in 2005 when Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his eldest child, accused him of violently assaulting her. Having listed multiple examples of the rapper's behavior, Hammel concludes her letter by writing: 'What is publicly known about Jackson makes it feel like an odd choice of a producer to handle the most sensitive and traumatic subject matter your viewers will ever see or hear. She wrote: 'I've survived something like eight rounds of layoffs where talented colleagues were b***h-slapped into oblivion and, I hope, will never give their nights, weekends, relationships and sanity again to keep up with an email chain about whether Jennifer Aniston is pregnant at 47 because of those tummy photos and what kind of mom will she be, when really she just had an extra burrito.'
