A lawyer representing one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ accusers claims a prominent individual appears in a pornographic video alongside the American rapper.
Combs, 54, is facing federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution following allegations he hit and abused women for over a decade and presided over an empire of sexual crimes.

The music mogul, known for his chart-topping hits and lavish lifestyle, was known for his extravogant parties throughout the 2000s.
He was arrested on September 16 and is currently being held in a Brooklyn detention center, awaiting legal proceedings.
None of the celebrities who previously attended his parties have been implicated in any wrongdoing, and there’s no indication that they were aware of Combs’ alleged misconduct.

However Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, the attorney for a new accuser, revealed she’s received inquiries about the “sale of one of the Diddy tapes,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This tape reportedly features explicit content involving someone described as “more high-profile” than Combs, allegedly filmed at his Atlanta mansion.
Mitchell-Kidd did not reveal the identity of the individual in the video but stated on NewsNation’s Banfield, “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.”
She characterised the video as pornographic, suggesting that the person involved may not have realised they were being filmed.
New Allegations of Sexual Assault
In another development, Mitchell-Kidd said a new client had also accused Combs of sexual assault, claiming the incident took place in 2018.
This woman reported the assault to the police, describing a disturbing encounter in which Combs showed up at a friend’s house—someone with industry connections—and allegedly planned to sex traffick her.
Mitchell-Kidd told the Hollywood Reporter the client managed to escape, with a neighbour reportedly witnessing her flight into the street.
As the fresh allegations emerge, Combs remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where a judge has denied him bail.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges stemming from an extensive investigation into his alleged sex crimes.
Adding to his legal woes, a new lawsuit has surfaced, filed by a woman identified as Jane Doe, who claims Combs abused her for several years, resulting in an unwanted pregnancy, as per CNN.
The lawsuit alleges that Combs drugged and assaulted her, using coercive tactics to pressure her into travelling to meet him.
Jane Doe began her association with Combs in 2020 after accepting a paid trip invitation.
Their encounters allegedly continued through 2021 and 2022 in various cities, including Miami, New York, and Los Angeles.
After becoming pregnant in July 2022, Jane Doe claims she faced intense pressure from Combs’ team to terminate the pregnancy.
The lawsuit states that Combs maintained contact with her until July 2024.
120 accusers
Another lawyer has also claimed he is representing 120 accusers who have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Combs.
Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee said he expected lawsuits to be filed within the next month.
Buzbee described the victims as 60 males and 60 females, and that 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct.
Lawyers and other representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Buzbee has also represented women who accused NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual assault.
Combs is due back in court for a status conference on October 9.
