Prosecutors Deny Leaking Sean "Diddy" Combs Assault Video, Seek to Block Evidentiary Hearing

Prosecutors Deny Leaking Sean "Diddy" Combs Assault Video, Seek to Block Evidentiary Hearing

Federal prosecutors have refuted claims by Sean "Diddy" Combs’ legal team that a video showing him allegedly assaulting a former girlfriend was leaked to CNN by government agents. The recent filing, submitted overnight, aims to clarify that prosecutors were never in possession of the video and urges the court to reject Combs' motion for an evidentiary hearing.

“The defendant argues baselessly that a video depicting the defendant's assault of a victim at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles on March 5, 2016 was provided to a media outlet by Government agents,” prosecutors wrote in the filing. Combs' legal team has suggested that the video, released publicly in May 2024, may have been leaked by federal prosecutors. However, prosecutors maintained that the video was not part of their evidence at the time CNN published it and was never obtained through grand jury proceedings.

“Without any factual basis, the Leak Motion seeks to suppress highly probative evidence—a video of Combs brutally physically assaulting a victim in March 2016 that was published by a media outlet in May 2024—by claiming that it was grand jury material leaked by Government agents to CNN,” the filing continued. “But, as the defendant is fully aware, the video was not in the Government's possession at the time of CNN's publication, and the Government has never, at any point, obtained the video through grand jury process.”

Combs, who appeared in federal court earlier in October, has sought to argue that alleged leaks could hinder his ability to receive a fair trial. Defense attorneys have called for an evidentiary hearing to address their claims, which prosecutors have dismissed as an attempt to avoid dealing with "damning" evidence against him.

In addition to urging the court to deny Combs’ motion for a hearing, prosecutors are also opposing his request for the early disclosure of his accusers' identities. “The defendant's request for victim names should be denied on the basis that it is tantamount to a request for early disclosure of the Government's witness list, something he is clearly not entitled to at this extremely early stage of the proceedings,” the prosecutors stated. They emphasized that early disclosure would pose risks to witness safety and could open the door to potential obstruction.

Prosecutors have accused Combs of leveraging the criminal case to defend against civil litigation brought by anonymous accusers, describing his tactics as an attempt to “co-opt this criminal proceeding to defend against civil litigation.” A federal judge recently denied one plaintiff’s request to proceed under a pseudonym in a related civil case, underscoring a “presumption of openness in judicial proceedings.”

As Combs’ defense continues to press for transparency and evidentiary hearings, prosecutors have countered with firm denials of any misconduct. The case now awaits further review, as legal teams on both sides prepare for the next stage in the proceedings.

Diddy’s Fury Explodes: What Netflix’s New Doc Really Reveals About Him

Diddy’s Fury Explodes: What Netflix’s New Doc Really Reveals About Him

The new Netflix docuseries on Sean “Diddy” Combs is about to drop — and Diddy is already coming apart at the seams. He calls it a “shameful hit piece,” claims Netflix used “unauthorized” footage, and accuses executives of betrayal. But if you listen to 50 Cent, the director, former insiders, and the reporters who have seen the early cuts… the real story is what the documentary actually exposes about Diddy’s world, his behavior, and the decades-long pattern people have been describing for years. This episode breaks down what’s reportedly inside the doc — the previously unseen footage, the recordings Diddy allegedly made of himself, the hotel-room meltdown days before his arrest, the witnesses who finally speak, and the pattern that has followed him since the 1990s. We’re looking at what the filmmakers uncovered, what 50 Cent has hinted at in interview after interview, what former insiders say they saw, and why Netflix is standing firm even as Diddy threatens legal action and goes nuclear in the press. Diddy says the footage was stolen. Netflix says it was obtained legally. Diddy says this is character assassination. The filmmakers say it's accountability. And 50 Cent? He says this is only the beginning. Tonight, we go inside the parts of Diddy’s world he never expected anyone to see — the alleged behavior behind the scenes, the culture surrounding his empire, and the moments that reportedly made even longtime insiders step back and ask, “How did this go on for so long?” This is not a story about a superstar who partied too hard. This is a story about power, control, silence — and a documentary that may finally break that silence open. 🔔 Subscribe for daily deep-dives into the biggest true-crime stories shaping America. #diddy #seancombs #50cent #netflixdocumentary #thereckoning #hiddenkillers #truecrime #celebritycase #investigation #netflixseries Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Diddy Verdict: Guilty, Not Guilty, and What It Says About Justice in 2025 | Year in Review Special

The Diddy Verdict: Guilty, Not Guilty, and What It Says About Justice in 2025 | Year in Review Special

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re unpacking one of the most controversial and conversation-shifting verdicts of the decade — the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. After months of disturbing testimony, celebrity appearances, and viral evidence — including the now-infamous surveillance video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie Ventura — the jury delivered a verdict that stunned the nation. Diddy was found guilty on two federal counts of transporting women across state lines for prostitution, yet acquitted on the most serious charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy. In this special episode, Tony Brueski and attorney Eric Faddis break down exactly what happened inside that courtroom — the evidence, the emotional testimony, and the legal strategies that defined the trial. How could a case so full of damning details end in such a divided result? Was this the justice system doing its job… or an indictment of how power and celebrity still distort accountability? Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, walks us through the legal nuance — how burden of proof, technical definitions, and jury psychology intersected to create this outcome. Together, Tony and Eric dissect the split verdict’s cultural implications, asking whether this moment signals a deeper societal fatigue with #MeToo-era accountability. Did jurors no longer see psychological coercion as “real” violence? Did prosecutors overestimate how far public empathy extends for survivors of celebrity abuse? Or was this verdict less about the facts — and more about America’s shifting comfort with power, money, and moral gray zones? We also explain why Diddy remains behind bars despite the partial acquittal, and what comes next as he faces a sentencing phase that could carry up to 20 years in federal prison. Will Judge Arun Subramanian set a precedent — or fold to the same cultural machinery that kept Diddy protected for decades? This isn’t just a verdict recap. It’s a postmortem on justice in 2025. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Cases That Redefined Accountability, Power, and Public Conscience. #DiddyVerdict #SeanCombs #CassieVentura #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #CelebrityJustice #MeTooBacklash #FederalTrial #SexTraffickingCase #JusticeSystem #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside the Mind of Sean “Diddy” Combs: The Pathology, the Power, and the Breaking Point | 2025 Year in Review

Inside the Mind of Sean “Diddy” Combs: The Pathology, the Power, and the Breaking Point | 2025 Year in Review

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re going beyond the headlines to examine the psychological machinery behind one of the most explosive celebrity trials of the decade — Sean “Diddy” Combs and the disturbing allegations that have shattered his empire. In this powerful two-part special, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to break down the alleged behavioral profile of Diddy — not from a place of gossip, but through a clinical lens. Scott explores whether Combs’ reported actions align with narcissistic personality traits, psychopathic tendencies, and patterns of coercive control often seen in long-term cycles of abuse. From alleged emotional domination and financial control to threats, surveillance, and sexual coercion, Scott unpacks how power and pathology intertwine — and how high-profile abusers weaponize influence, fear, and fame to keep victims silent. It’s a chilling look at how manipulation can masquerade as charisma, and how the psychology of celebrity can distort accountability on a global scale. Then, in the second half, Tony delivers a full breakdown of the most pivotal week of the Diddy federal trial (June 12–16, 2025) — a stretch of testimony and evidence that could decide whether the hip-hop mogul spends life in prison or walks free. Among the bombshell moments: Six firearms with defaced serial numbers found near alleged “freak-off” supplies. Homeland Security’s discovery of AR-15 parts, drugs, and lubricants allegedly tied to a sex-trafficking operation. The emotional testimony of “Jane,” who confronted Diddy in court after describing years of abuse and coercion. Immunity witness Jonathan Perez, Diddy’s former assistant, whose drug procurement testimony both strengthened and complicated the government’s case. Kanye West’s surreal courthouse appearance, adding a spectacle to an already volatile trial. And the controversial dismissal of Juror #6, a decision now under scrutiny for potential bias. Together, these two lenses — the psychological and the procedural — reveal the full picture of a man once untouchable, now facing the reckoning of his own creation. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Cases That Redefined Power, Psychology, and Justice. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologicalAbuse #FederalTrial #CelebrityJustice #CoerciveControl #Narcissism #Psychopathy #PowerAndControl #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Cult of Diddy: Why Silence Protected a Predator | 2025 Year in Review

The Cult of Diddy: Why Silence Protected a Predator | 2025 Year in Review

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re peeling back the layers of one of the most disturbing psychological power structures ever exposed in celebrity culture — the world of Sean “Diddy” Combs. In this gripping two-part special, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke dive deep into how fear, manipulation, and emotional dependency built an empire of silence around Diddy for decades. Why didn’t more people speak up sooner? Dreeke reveals the three psychological levers that kept Diddy’s inner circle compliant — even as the behavior around them crossed moral and legal lines. From fear-based loyalty and financial entanglement to the illusion of belonging, Dreeke dissects how coercive control can transform a celebrity brand into a psychological fortress. This episode doesn’t just explore the headlines — it exposes the mechanics behind them. How does a person with immense power and charisma create a reality distortion field so strong that people rationalize the unthinkable? How do those closest to the source of abuse convince themselves they’re “protected,” when in truth, they’re prisoners of influence? Drawing from FBI behavioral science and decades of fieldwork, Dreeke and Brueski connect Diddy’s alleged patterns to cult-style leadership psychology, trauma bonding, and the weaponization of loyalty. They break down how abusers in positions of fame exploit human nature’s deepest needs — safety, validation, and identity — to ensure silence and complicity. This isn’t just a celebrity scandal. It’s a case study in toxic leadership, groupthink, and the quiet, corrosive power of fear. It’s about how one man allegedly turned charisma into control — and how those around him, knowingly or not, became part of the machine that protected him. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Cases That Exposed Power, Silence, and the Psychology of Control. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #CoerciveControl #CultDynamics #CelebrityAbuse #ToxicLeadership #PowerAndControl #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside the Mind of Sean “Diddy” Combs: Power, Control & the Psychology of Alleged Abuse | 2025 Year in Review

Inside the Mind of Sean “Diddy” Combs: Power, Control & the Psychology of Alleged Abuse | 2025 Year in Review

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit one of the most shocking and psychologically revealing cases of the year — the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, where allegations of manipulation, coercive control, and psychological abuse have redefined how power, fame, and fear intertwine. In this full-length special, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke for a two-part deep dive into the disturbing behavioral patterns emerging from the trial — and the psychology of a man accused of wielding control like a weapon. Shavaun Scott breaks down ten key psychological tactics allegedly used by Combs against Cassie Ventura, as detailed in testimony and filings: covert manipulation, emotional isolation, threats, intimidation, extortion through explicit material, and the gradual dismantling of personal autonomy. She explains how high-profile abusers create invisible cages — systems of dependence and fear that trap victims even under the public eye. Then, Robin Dreeke analyzes the case from a behavioral intelligence perspective — mapping how powerful figures maintain a dual identity: adored in public, feared in private. From the alleged use of surveillance and financial control to the orchestration of silence among inner-circle members, Dreeke exposes how a “high-functioning predator” can operate unchecked for decades. The discussion also explores the psychology of complicity — how enablers and bystanders become part of the abuse cycle, whether through fear, loyalty, or career survival. Both experts highlight the chilling consistency between Combs’ alleged conduct and established behavioral profiles of coercive narcissists and organized abusers. This is more than a celebrity scandal. It’s a clinical case study in power addiction, psychological dominance, and the systemic failures that allow fame to mask abuse. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Cases Where Power, Psychology, and Justice Collided. #DiddyTrial #CassieVentura #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #RobinDreeke #PsychologicalAbuse #CoerciveControl #CelebrityCrime #PowerAndControl #TrueCrimePodcast #BehavioralAnalysis #YearInReview #JusticeForSurvivors #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What the Thanksgiving Menu Looks Like for Kohberger, Diddy & Donna Adelson

What the Thanksgiving Menu Looks Like for Kohberger, Diddy & Donna Adelson

This Thanksgiving, three of the most talked-about defendants in America are experiencing the holiday in a way most people never imagine: behind the walls of three very different prison systems. Bryan Kohberger. Sean “Diddy” Combs. Donna Adelson. Three names dominating headlines — now sharing the same institutional reality when the rest of the world gathers around family tables. In this episode, we take you inside what Thanksgiving actually looks like in prison. Not the fantasy version, not the movie version — the real, stripped-down version served on plastic trays under fluorescent lights. Idaho, federal, and Florida prisons all have their own rhythms, but the holiday formula barely changes: turkey, potatoes, vegetables, a roll, something resembling cranberry sauce, and a pumpkin-style dessert. It’s the kind of “holiday cheer” that reminds you you’re not home. For Bryan Kohberger, the man accused in the Idaho student murders, Thanksgiving happens alone in a maximum-security cell. No dining hall. No noise. No human contact. Just the vegan holiday tray delivered straight through a door — the same way every day does, only with slightly more starch. For Sean “Diddy” Combs, once the king of lavish parties and over-the-top holiday spreads, Thanksgiving unfolds in a massive federal chow hall at Fort Dix. Hundreds of men. Metal tables. Guards barking orders. And a government-issued turkey entrée that’s about as far from a celebrity feast as it gets. And for Donna Adelson — the former matriarch now serving life in Florida for her role in the Dan Markel murder plot — Thanksgiving is the Florida DOC classic: turkey slices, potatoes, corn, stuffing, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce. A tray identical to the women on her left and right, many of whom lost far more than she ever imagined. Three people. Three scandal-ridden cases. One holiday that brings them all to the same reality: prison doesn’t stop for Thanksgiving… it just serves it on a tray. 👉 Subscribe for more true-crime breakdowns, expert insights, and the stories behind the headlines — only on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski. #bryankohberger #diddy #donnaadelson #truecrime #hiddenkillers #prisonlife #thanksgiving #crimeanalysis #justice #tonybrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New Criminal Charges Coming For Diddy After 2020 Assault Allegations Surface?-WEEK IN REVIEW

New Criminal Charges Coming For Diddy After 2020 Assault Allegations Surface?-WEEK IN REVIEW

Sean “Diddy” Combs is already sitting in federal custody, already facing civil lawsuits, already under investigation for trafficking-related conduct — but now the entire landscape has shifted again. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has officially confirmed that they are investigating a new sexual assault allegation tied to an incident reported to have occurred in 2020. And this one? It’s not decades old. It’s not lost to history. It lives in the digital era, where timelines can be cross-checked, data can be recovered, and investigators can build a picture of the truth in ways that simply weren’t possible twenty years ago. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what this new allegation means — not in the sensationalized, rumor-driven way the internet churns out quickly, but in a grounded, fact-based, emotionally clear look at what happens when a complaint like this enters a system already in motion. What does it mean when LASD publicly says they’re investigating? Why does the 2020 date matter so much? And how does this fit into the wider legal environment surrounding Combs, including federal raids, seized electronics, and a growing number of civil claims? This is not about assuming guilt. This is about understanding why this one report carries so much weight, why survivors come forward when power starts to crack, and how accountability works when someone who has spent decades insulated by money, fame, and influence suddenly finds themselves answering to the same system everyone else does. We’re looking at this moment from all angles: the psychology, the legal implications, and the reality of what happens next if investigators find even a shred of corroboration. Because when a case enters a jurisdiction like Los Angeles — a jurisdiction not intimidated by celebrity — the rules change. This story isn’t finished. But today, it took a very significant turn. #HiddenKillers #DiddyInvestigation #SeanCombsCase #TrueCrimeNews #LegalAnalysis #LASD #BreakingCrimeStories #SurvivorVoices #JusticeSystem #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
