Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is ready for people to see the real "character" of Sean "Diddy" Combs.

The rapper and TV producer is gearing up for the upcoming release of *Sean Combs: The Reckoning, *his Netflix documentary series about the sex trafficking and racketeering allegations against the disgraced music mogul. During an appearance on *Good Morning America* on Monday, Jackson delved into his and director Alexandria Stapleton's motivation for creating the four-part documentary about Combs' September 2024 arrest and his October 2025 conviction.

Combs was sentenced to 50 months, or just over four years, in prison for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He is expected to be released in May 2028.

Sean "Diddy" Combs arrives for the Recording Academy and Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California on January 25, 2020.

"Look, if I didn't say anything, you would interpret it as the hip-hop is fine with his behaviors," Jackson told host Robin Roberts. "There's no one else being vocal. So you would look at it and just say, 'Mind your business' or 'Let me not say nothing about nothing or those things.' It would allow the entire culture to register as if they're for that behavior."

Stapleton noted that it was "very interesting" to watch the never-before-seen footage of Combs in New York City during the days leading up to his arrest, which *The New York Times* reported was arranged by the father of seven to be recorded for his own means.

"He has a really amazing knack for marketing and all of that, and he was sort of taking that into account and how he was coming off to the public," the Emmy-winning director added.

The pair tease glimpses of the footage in *The Reckoning*'s new trailer, which features clips of Combs talking to his lawyer over the phone about his legal trouble. "We have to find someone who will work with us who has worked in the dirtiest of dirty business," Combs says in the clips. "We are losing."

In another clip shown on *GMA*, Combs is seen greeting fans, shaking their hands, and even accepting a jacket from one. The music producer is later seen in a car declaring that he needs "some hand sanitizer" and a bath because he's been "in the streets amongst the people."**

"It shows you his character," Jackson told Roberts when asked what those clips represent. "What [are] the odds that you would do that in front of the camera? That's one of the moments where he forgot that he was on tape."

Despite a decades-long beef with Combs, Jackson says their public feud has nothing to do with his desire to produce the Netflix docuseries shedding more light on the allegations against Combs. "It's not personal," he asserted.

Stapleton agreed, telling Roberts that *The Reckoning* is more than just "salacious details" about Combs and the allegations lodged against him. It also includes interviews with two jurors from Diddy's criminal trial, among others.

"The real goal was to story-tell. Not everyone needed to have an allegation to be a part of this project," she explained.

He repeatedly told us that *Survivor* was like a horror movie, and on Thanksgiving eve, Jawan Pitts became the victim. Jawan was blindsided by his former Uli allies and became the fourth member of the *Survivor 49* jury after Sophie Segreti joined Rizo Velovic, Savannah Louie, and Sophi Balerdi to take him out. The opposition also put a little mustard on the move, with Savannah pretending to not know the outcome and trolling Jawan by acting to be hurt by his betrayal. Rizo then played a fake idol to add even more showmanship to the ouster.

How does Jawan feel about those moves? What was up with him stealing everyone's stuff (bags, water bottles, torches)? And what happened out there that we did not see? We asked juror number 4 all that and more.

**: What do you make of Savannah trolling you at Tribal Council as the votes are being read pretending to not know you had flipped on her, while knowing the entire time that you would be the one to go?**

**JAWAN PITTS: **It was savage. It was total savage. I think it's crazy being blindsided because it's like an out of body experience, but I do remember the looks. That stuck with me. I was like, "Yo!" I can be salty all I want but I think I had my fair share of like, evil, you know, beard-stroking smirks towards her before too. So, tit for tat.

**Why were you pleading with Rizo to play his idol for Savannah, since you were about to be outed as having voted for her anyway?**

Because at that point I knew we were cooked. I knew we were done, so I might as well get him to burn that thing. But this speaks to how unaware I was on that vote because I thought I had weird vibes before we left for Tribal. But I'm like, *If something hits the fan, my name won't be brought up. Odds are they're going to go after Steven, maybe Kristina, maybe Sage.*

So that was me kind of being like, *Okay, you know, it's going to bite somebody, but it's not going to bite me.* And then when I saw the first Jawan vote, I was done.

**Were you surprised you did not have Yellow Sophie on your side?**

Yeah, I really underestimated Yellow Sophie. First off, she's a fierce competitor, and the editors need to get it together. I wish she had more screen time, because I always thought she was a force out there. And on my blindside specifically, I underestimated seeing her go off with the other Sophi. I'm like*, Huh, what do they have to be talking about?*

But what kept me calm with her is her relationship with Sage. I think they have an out of game relationship, and so anytime I was wary about Yellow Sophie, Sage would be like, "No, we got her. She's with us." And that's what was my downfall was, not trusting my gut. I knew something was up with her.

**Was there any strategic purpose to Rizo's fake idol play or was it just for show and playing to the jury?**

I believe it was a little bit of both. I think it was definitely like his John Cena moment, like WWE. He's a showman and I can respect that, you know? He's excited to be out there. And then maybe there's something to wanting to make Yellow Sophie feel comfortable if there was a plan. But I think it definitely was him kinda just being a showman though.

**Was it ever brought to your attention that you had actually brought Jeff the wrong torch to be snuffed? When did you realize that?**

When I watched it on TV, that was my first time really being like, *Oh my gosh, classic Jawan*. But it's such a beautiful way to end my story, just a full arc. I'm glad that people know that yes, I wasn't targeting Savannah with all the bag and water bottle antics. They don't show this, but I also accidentally painted Sage's water bottle. At our merge thing, we all painted ours so we would not forget, and I painted Sage's, so it's just like classic me. I'm just a dork who's clumsy.

**You said, it's classic Jawan, so is this you out of the game? Is this something that you do in your regular life too?**

Oh yeah. I'm definitely the guy that's like looking for my wallet, the keys, checking at all times because I will forget everything. So, yeah, that's me.

**I wrote this after the episode, but shouldn't Rizo technically be out of the game if his torch was snuffed?**

I mean, you said it, Dalton! That's the next level gameplay right there. I should still be in there technically. It was all my master plan.

**MC told me that the reason she told you about Yellow Sophie putting a vote on you is that she did not want the first two jury members to both be Black, and that she told you that. Do you remember that, and if so, what was your reaction to that reasoning?**

Such a great question. Thank you for bringing that up. I do remember that conversation and it was a long, intimate conversation about just kind of like the optics. And we talked about season 42 and other prior new era seasons. And I just want to hold space for her hurt feelings and also hold space for anyone that maybe is uncomfortable with our overall boot order in the jury.

I will say for my perspective, every move I made out there was about bringing home money for my family. I'm a broke dude, man, and I have no safety net. So I remember talking to MC about that, and my goal wasn't to try to get her out after she told me that. My goal was like, *How do I protect me and her?* And I thought by protecting me and her was trying to get the votes stacked on Yellow Sophie.

I think with the Savannah coming [on the boat] really influenced a lot. So my goal at that point was just to get me and Sage out alive. So, yeah, I want to continue to hold space for MC's hurt feelings, but for me, it wasn't personal. It just was about survival for my family.

**Was there any more discussion about Black players being voted out after the merge after Alex was sent out?**

Yeah, thank you for bringing that up. Me and, Kristina actually had a longer conversation about it. It got pretty heated between me and her. But yeah, it definitely was something that was a topic of conversations.

**Is this something that you, MC, and Kristina have now all been able to come to a good space together where you feel like you all understand the perspectives where everyone was coming from?**

You know, that's such a great question. I feel like I'm learning that everyone has their own process of healing, and that looks different for everyone. I definitely reached out and tried to clear their air on certain things. I just hope in  some more time we can continue to unpack stuff together.

**You say how everyone has their own process of healing. Everyone also goes into the game with their own set of personal rules in terms of the things they are going to do. You said, "I'm coming in, I'm broke, I'm going to do this." But that line is not static for everyone. It's in different places. And that's what why the game can be both frustrating and fascinating.**

100 percent. Thanks for saying that.

**Look, I've talked to some of your original Uli tribemates and they say that had original Uli gone to Tribal Council, you would have been the one to go. Did you sense that out there early in the game or was that news to you?**

I learned that when I talked to Sage on the Island on the Shannon boot. And I'm so blessed. I think it's really rare where a player can get a second chance. It's almost like I won an advantage. I feel like I got a phone call from home and Sage was that for me. So, I knew I was cooked, man. I didn't feel that until I talked with Sage, but then that really influences why I make the decisions moving forward, which is more kind of like, alright, anybody but me, you know?

**I think people were really rooting for you in Sage as these underdogs who sort of banded together and at least momentarily took control of the game. Talk to me about your relationship with her and was that what sort of drew you together originally? Was it just the fact that we needed each other and we're not part of the cool kids table?**

Yeah, it definitely felt like the cool kids and the top dogs were Nate, Savannah, Rizo and Shannon. They don't show this, but was actually really close with Shannon throughout the whole pre-merge., I think the reason why I'm so loyal is because I thought I would get back to her and we would reunite. But for Sage to really take the chance on me — and we weren't really that close day one, day two, early game — the fact that she took time to really invest in me, she just feels like someone that you meet in high school and you don't even remember how you became best friends.

I think every side of Jawan I can be, I can be goofy, I can be serious, I can be crying, and she just has always been a solid support system for me. And I'm just blessed that I have someone that unique in my life.

**We heard you repeatedly talk about how *Survivor* is like a horror movie. So what is it like then watching it back and watching Rizo Tribal after Tribal not even have to play an idol or get targeted? I have to imagine that's the ultimate horror movie.**

Yeah, man. That was horrible. Especially because at the merge vote, I was like, "We need to get him out. This is my one-time camouflage of me sniping him. If we don't do it now, it's going to get tricky." But I also think there's something to be said about the amount of idols getting played. In 46, everyone got voted out with idol in their pocket. And then from that point on, people were starting to use that. And in our season, Alex played an idol, MC played an idol. But I think the fact that he was aware of that, that's kind of almost a next level way of thinking. So I just couldn't have predicted that he held it and that's why I was nudging him to get him to play it.

**What's something that happened out there that didn't make it to TV that you wish we had seen?**

Yeah, I have a really messy moment between me and Sage that really just shows how wacky we are. So at the fried chicken reward challenge. I try to be a big brain game player and at the end, I started looking for advantages. So there's a bowl of fries in front of me, I stick my hand in the fries, look around, there's no advantage, but I'm like, *Oh, I have a fist full of fries and I'll be hungry later*.

So I put the fries in my sock like a crazy person, [in case] someone was going to check my pockets. So one night when I went back, I was like, "Sage, check my socks." And then we had a good laugh about eating crusty sandy fries from my sock. Classic me and Sage.

**If you could go back and change one thing about your game, what would it be?**

My journey on the show was about providing a lot for my family and for my siblings, but I'm also someone that you see at the first Tribal Council, I'm struggling to talk and communicate my ideas. So I'm not as confident as maybe Rizo and Savannah. So I think sometimes if I were to go back, I would try to be more trusting in my gut.

BARCELONA/MADRID, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Spanish police, soldiers and park rangers are racing to identify wild boars that might be infected with African ​swine fever and prevent the disease from crossing into the country's domestic herd, which is central ‌to its multi-billion-euro pork export industry.

Operatives are using drones, infrared technology and sniffer dogs to find any boar carcasses for testing, ‌as well as sealing off the areas around animal tracks under highways and pipework to prevent live animals moving into other areas of the countryside.

Police have been stationed and have posted signs to turn visitors away since the weekend around Barcelona's Collserola mountain range, a popular attraction for walkers, cyclists and joggers from the city. Those who live inside the park ⁠were told to keep dogs on leads ‌and report any boar sightings.

On farms, trade association Interporc said strict controls already in place for disease prevention had been reinforced. These included testing and quarantining of new animals, ‍perimeter fencing and bird nets, regular disinfections and checks on drinking water, a strict employee dress code and proper storage of pig semen samples. Government vets were checking farms and taking samples, but none of the 39 in the area have tested ​positive.

'LEAVE THE WILD BOARS IN PEACE'

The outbreak has revived memories of the last swine fever outbreak in 1994,‌ when the virus reached farms, prompting mass pig culls and a complete shutdown of the country's pork exports.

Still, Emilio Garcia Muro, an agriculture ministry official, said there was no plan to launch a cull for now.

"We are going to leave the wild boars in peace, in this area," he said. "Specialized teams will be brought in ... to detect carcasses, but above all, the aim is ⁠not to disturb or kill in this type of situation."

Spain is ​the European Union's largest pork exporter and the second-largest worldwide,​ with more than €8 billion in exports annually. The sector generates over €25 billion ($29.09 billion) in revenue and employs more than 400,000 workers.

Within the EU, Spain's ‍biggest export markets are France and ⁠Italy, and outside the EU, the United Kingdom, China and Japan.

In August 2022, the Catalan authorities launched a controlled cull of spiralling wild boar populations, which had grown accustomed to venturing into ⁠urban areas and scavenging in garbage bins during the pandemic lockdowns.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he will look into whether the U.S. carried out a second strike against a boat in the Caribbean that the administration says was smuggling drugs, as he defended his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from an accusation that he ordered military officials to "kill them all" prior to the lethal strike.

A Washington Post report on Nov. 28 that cited anonymous sources said that Hegseth gave a directive to leave no survivors, which prompted the U.S. military to conduct follow-on strike that killed two individuals to comply with the order.

Hegseth called the report "fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory," and Trump allies have responded by questioning the story's accuracy.

"I don't know anything about it," Trump told reporters on Nov. 30. "He said he did not say that, and I believe him, 100 percent," Trump added. "He says he didn't do it."

The Trump administration's lethal strikes on alleged drug boats that the U.S. says were aimed at deterring Venezuelan traffickers was already facing congressional scrutiny, and after the latest reporting, lawmakers on the Armed Services committees in the House and Senate pledged to provide rigorous oversight of the operation.

Since September, the administration is known to have carried out strikes on at least 21 boats in international waters that killed 83 people. The reported second strike on the suspected drug boat took place on Sept. 2.

Trump could not say on Nov. 30 if a second strike had taken place, telling reporters riding on Air Force One, "I don't know. I'm going to find out about it. But Pete said he did not order the death of those two men."

"We'll look into it, but no, I wouldn't have wanted that, not a second strike," Trump said.

The legality of the ongoing strikes is in dispute. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has said they violate international law, and Democrats in Congress are demanding the Justice Department release a classified Office of Legal Counsel opinion that reportedly says U.S. military personnel involved in the strikes cannot be prosecuted.

Trump has threatened to escalate the attacks to land strikes on Venezuela and said on Nov. 29 that pilots should consider the airspace over the country closed. He told reporters on Nov. 30 that he'd spoke to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro but did not say what they discussed.

By Eduardo Baptista

BEIJING, Dec 1 (Reuters) - China's first crewed spacecraft to be ruled unfit to fly in mid-mission will be sent ​back to Earth for experts to assess the damage it sustained more closely, ‌state broadcaster CCTV reported on Monday.

On November 5, the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft was meant to bring its crew back to ‌China just after finishing a six-month stay aboard Beijing's permanently inhabited space station Tiangong.

But after the Shenzhou-20 crew discovered a crack in the window of the vessel's return capsule right before takeoff, the return mission was delayed - a first in China's human spaceflight program.⁠

The vessel's crew was forced ‌to return to Earth in a different spaceship nine days later, temporarily leaving Tiangong and its remaining trio of resident astronauts without a flightworthy vessel.

China's ‍space-industrial complex raced to remove that risk by working overtime to execute its first emergency launch mission on November 25, just 20 days after the initial delay was announced.

But the future of the damaged Shenzhou-20 ​vessel, which remains docked at the Chinese space station, was unknown until CCTV's ‌televised report on Monday.

Ji Qiming, a spokesperson for the China Manned Space Agency, told the state broadcaster that Shenzhou-20 would return without crew to Earth, adding that on its way back it would "obtain the most authentic experimental data", without elaborating further.

Jia Shijin, a designer of the Shenzhou spacecraft, revealed to CCTV more details about the tiny crack ⁠that permanently altered China's crewed spaceflight schedule.

"Our preliminary ​judgement is that the piece of space debris was smaller ​than 1 millimetre, but it was travelling incredibly fast. The resulting crack extends over a centimetre," Jia said.

"But we can't directly examine ‍it in orbit, ⁠we will study it closely when Shenzhou-20 returns."

Jia added that the decision to delay the Shenzhou-20 return mission was based on a worst-case scenario where the window ⁠crack might spread, leading to cabin depressurisation and the ingress of high-speed gases.

If this happened, it ‌could then rapidly overwhelm life-support systems and prove fatal to the astronauts.

In a loss for the Trump administration, an appeals court on Monday upheld a lower court ruling disqualifying Alina Habba from her position as acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

In a 32-page ruling, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals found that Habba's appointment violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.

"It is apparent that the current administration has been frustrated by some of the legal and political barriers to getting its appointees in place," wrote Judge Michael Fisher.

The decision stems from a motion from Julien Giraud Jr., a New Jersey man who faced drug trafficking and firearm charges that predated Habba's appointment. Giraud moved to dismiss his indictment on July 27, arguing that President Donald Trump's appointment of Habba, who had been overseeing the case, was unlawful.

He pleaded not guilty. The court did not dismiss Giraud's underlying criminal case.

Habba is a former personal lawyer to the president.

A federal judge ruled in August that Habba's appointment was "unlawful," though the judge's order was on hold as the legal proceedings continued in an appeals court.

In the summer ruling, U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann took issue with Trump naming Habba as interim U.S. attorney in March, a position that is time-limited to 120 days. He said in his ruling that while Trump nominated her in June to serve as the permanent attorney, the Senate did not take up her nomination.

Weeks after Trump nominated her to the permanent position, judges for the U.S. District Court of New Jersey appointed her deputy to be the new U.S. attorney. In response, Attorney General Pam Bondi fired the deputy, appointed Habba as "Special Attorney to the Attorney General," then appointed her to the deputy position, which allowed her to become the acting U.S. attorney again.

NBC News reached out to Habba's office, the Justice Department and the White House for comment.
