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 Woke Up With a Knife to His Throat — Excuse Me While I Don’t Care

Diddy Woke Up With a Knife to His Throat — Excuse Me While I Don’t Care

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly woke up in his Brooklyn prison cell with a knife pressed against his throat. According to a close friend, it was a warning — a scare that could’ve ended with blood on the floor. But here’s the question that needs to be asked: why is this the story everyone’s talking about? Because if even half of what’s been alleged about Diddy is true, then the real horror didn’t start behind bars. It started long before — behind locked hotel doors, studio walls, and a decade of silence. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down why sympathy for Diddy’s so-called “brush with danger” feels misplaced. The federal indictment, the civil lawsuits, the survivors — their stories paint a picture of inhuman treatment that makes one prison scare seem like poetic irony. Cassie Ventura’s decade of abuse allegations. The infamous 2016 hotel video. Claims of “freak-off” sex parties, drugging, beating, coercion, and threats. Lawsuits describing a pattern of violence, humiliation, and control that allegedly spanned decades. The minors. The staffers who say they were forced to procure drugs or keep secrets. The federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. The witnesses. The verdicts. This isn’t about celebrity gossip. It’s about power — the kind that corrodes every soul it touches.  And it’s about what happens when the man who allegedly used fear as a weapon finally feels it himself. If you came here looking for a redemption story, you won’t find one.  Because waking up to a knife at your throat isn’t the same as living years with one metaphorically pressed against your soul. This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — where we stop pretending that predators deserve sympathy, and start remembering the victims who were never headline news. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #CassieVentura #DiddyTrial #DiddyPrison #CelebrityCrime #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy’s Desperate Appeal: The Predator Who Can’t Stop Controlling

Diddy’s Desperate Appeal: The Predator Who Can’t Stop Controlling

There’s a line I keep coming back to: “I don’t know anyone who defends predators, other than predators.” Sean “Diddy” Combs just filed his appeal — a desperate attempt to undo the 50-month federal sentence that ended his decades-long illusion of control. Convicted of violating the Mann Act for transporting women across state lines for prostitution, Combs isn’t claiming innocence. He’s arguing math. His lawyers say the judge used “acquitted conduct” to calculate the sentence — a technical loophole that might shave a few months off. But this isn’t about law. It’s about ego. The same need to control every narrative, every room, every person who ever said no. For a man who once sold invincibility as a brand, an appeal is just another way to pretend he still holds the power. The odds? Almost zero. Federal courts rarely overturn sentences like his. But while his lawyers argue decimal points and sentencing guidelines, the rest of the world remembers what really matters: the pattern of coercion, violence, and control that no appeal can erase. Some called it ambition. Others called it genius. But history will remember it for what it was — domination dressed as entertainment. Fifty months isn’t redemption. It’s barely acknowledgment. In this episode, we break down what this appeal actually means, what’s really behind it, and why it’s the final act of a man who still believes accountability is optional. Because the truth doesn’t need a new trial. And you can’t appeal your own nature. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DiddyAppeal #PredatorAccountability #JusticeSystem #MannAct #CelebrityCrime #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Five Years of Federal Control: Diddy’s Post-Prison Life Exposed

Five Years of Federal Control: Diddy’s Post-Prison Life Exposed

Don’t let the headlines fool you — Diddy’s not walking free. He’s walking into a federal leash so tight, every step comes with surveillance, restrictions, and the constant threat of being yanked back to prison. In this episode, we break down exactly what five years of supervised release looks like for someone like Sean “Diddy” Combs. From unannounced home searches to mandatory mental health evaluations, from travel bans to random drug tests — this isn’t freedom. It’s federal purgatory. And for a man who built his identity around control, excess, and status, that’s more than punishment — it’s psychological warfare. We dig into every condition, every consequence, and why this chapter may be Diddy’s most revealing yet. #Diddy #SeanCombs #TrueCrime #FederalSupervision #ProbationReality #CelebrityCrime #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #PostPrisonLife #JusticeServed Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Seizes Diddy’s “Freak-Off” Tapes in Devastating Forfeiture Order-WEEK IN REVIEW

FBI Seizes Diddy’s “Freak-Off” Tapes in Devastating Forfeiture Order-WEEK IN REVIEW

After receiving a four-year prison sentence in October 2025, Sean “Diddy” Combs now faces an even more devastating blow: the loss of control. A federal forfeiture order has handed over every piece of digital media tied to his sex trafficking conviction to the FBI—tapes, hard drives, phones, and cameras. What once served as private leverage has now become state-owned evidence. In this breakdown, we dig deep into what civil forfeiture really means—how it works, why the Mann Act was used, and how the government can seize even “consensual” material if it facilitated a crime. We explore the eerie symbolism of the government now owning Diddy’s unfiltered archive—the raw footage of a life built on secrecy and control. From Shkreli’s Wu-Tang album to Madoff’s mansions, this is how power unravels: not in a courtroom, but in an auction house, an evidence vault, and in headlines that strip away brand and leave behind only case numbers.  #DiddyTrial #CivilForfeiture #FreakOffTapes #MannAct #FBIInvestigation #JusticeSystem #DiddySentencing #HiddenKillers #AssetSeizure #CelebrityCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Insider on Diddy’s Prison Life & d4vd’s Tesla Case: Is More Coming? -WEEK IN REVIEW

FBI Insider on Diddy’s Prison Life & d4vd’s Tesla Case: Is More Coming? -WEEK IN REVIEW

Two headlines. Two high-profile cases. One unfiltered breakdown. In this powerful double-segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to examine two of the most complex and closely watched stories in true crime right now: the federal sentencing of Sean “Diddy” Combs, and the unsolved death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, found deceased in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to musician d4vd. 🔹 Segment One: Diddy Behind Bars With Combs now serving a 50-month sentence for transporting women across state lines under the Mann Act, we ask the real questions: Is this the end of his legal exposure—or just a pause? Could in-custody behavior, like witness contact or coded messaging, spark new FBI investigations? How do digital forensics teams handle terabytes of seized content—and what happens if they find new crimes? Why celebrity status may actually increase surveillance, not lessen it. 🔹 Segment Two: The d4vd/Celeste Tesla Case Weeks after Celeste’s body was discovered in a Tesla frunk—no suspects have been named. We dig into: Why the FBI and local law enforcement may delay arrests despite explosive facts How property transfers, seized electronics, and location data build quiet cases The forensic timelines behind digital extractions, cause-of-death delays, and cross-jurisdiction coordination The psychological markers of concealment and manipulation in cases involving fame, image control, and youth victims If you’ve been wondering why both of these cases feel like they’re on pause—or possibly about to erupt—this conversation unpacks the truth with insight only a former federal agent can deliver. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep-dive true crime interviews and expert breakdowns. #Diddy #SeanCombs #CelesteRivas #d4vd #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBIInterview #MannAct #TeslaFrunk #JusticeForCeleste #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #DigitalEvidence #WitnessTampering #SupersedingIndictment #CelebrityCrime #UnsolvedCase #CrimeSceneInvestigation #ForensicFiles #LawAndCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy Behind Bars: Could the FBI Still Be Watching?

Diddy Behind Bars: Could the FBI Still Be Watching?

Is Sean “Diddy” Combs truly done with the justice system—or is this just the eye of the storm? In this high-stakes episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to dissect what really happens after sentencing—and whether federal investigators are still keeping a close eye on Diddy from behind bars. Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted under the Mann Act, but the RICO and sex-trafficking charges he was acquitted of haven’t cleared the path entirely. With multiple civil suits pending, an enormous trove of digital evidence still being analyzed, and fresh accusers continuing to emerge—this case is far from cold. Coffindaffer walks us through: What prison life actually looks like for someone like Diddy Why in-custody behavior—from witness tampering to illegal communications—can trigger brand-new federal charges How the FBI monitors communications, third-party proxies, and financial trails even after sentencing Whether new victims, previously unrevealed evidence, or in-prison misconduct could open the door to superseding indictments The psychological profile of high-control inmates, and how that can impact behavior behind bars And why celebrity status may make someone more likely—not less—to stay on the FBI’s radar If you think Diddy’s prison sentence ends the story, think again. This interview lays bare the next chapter—and how the federal government may still be flipping pages. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep-dive true crime interviews and breakdowns. #Diddy #SeanCombs #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #MannAct #PrisonLife #FederalInvestigation #CelebrityCrime #RICO #WitnessTampering #DigitalEvidence #SupersedingIndictment Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
