A lawyer for a new Sean “Diddy” Combs accuser claims that she’s been contacted about the “sale of one of the Diddy tapes,” specifically a pornographic video featuring the embattled hip-hop mogul, indicted last week on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and someone “more high-profile” than the rapper and Bad Boy founder.
“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around, but one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video they were in possession of and to contact the person who was in the video to see if they were interested in purchasing the video before it became public knowledge,” Ariel Mitchell-Kidd said Friday on the News. “I can tell the video was pornographic in nature. This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem the person isn’t looking into the video. To me, it doesn’t seem like that person knows they’re being videotaped.”
Mitchell-Kidd also said she was contacted a few weeks ago by a new client who claims Combs raped her in 2018 and filed a police report at the time.
“She called me and told me about her assault and her escape,” Mitchell-Kidd said. “She was at a friend’s house who had industry ties, and Diddy decided to come to the house.”
Mitchell-Kidd claims her client learned Combs was planning on sex trafficking her when he arrived.
“It led to her being served a drink. She started to feel woozy. Combs sexually assaulted her with an inanimate object,” Mitchell-Kidd said. “And then directed another gentleman to sexually assault her while he watched and pleasured himself.”
Mitchell-Kidd said her client was able to escape, running into the street, which was witnessed by a neighbor.
These allegations come as Combs remains behind bars as he awaits trial after he was indicated earlier this month on three counts of directing a vast criminal enterprise through which he assaulted and trafficked women with the aid of his business empire from at least 2008. He’s been accused of engaging in a “pervasive pattern of abuse” that involved coercing women to participate in highly orchestrated sexual encounters with male sex workers who were allegedly transported across state lines and internationally. His bail was denied after he pleaded not guilty to the charges, due to concerns he could flee the country.
Combs last week was hit with yet another lawsuit, at least the 10th brought against the rapper after Cassie Ventura sued him in November 2023 in a lawsuit that sparked a federal investigation into sex trafficking and racketeering.
This time Combs was sued in New York federal court for allegedly drugging and raping a woman in 2001. The accuser claimed she was sexually assaulted by Combs and his bodyguard.
It was also reported last week that Combs is staying in the same unit of Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center as Sam Bankman-Fried,the crypto mogul convicted of fraud.
After Diddy was arrested on Sept.16, his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said in a statement, “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community.
“He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.
“Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
