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.

Celeste Rivas Death & Judge Mullins Murder: FBI Profiler Breaks Down Two Cases of Silence-WEEK IN REVIEW

Celeste Rivas Death & Judge Mullins Murder: FBI Profiler Breaks Down Two Cases of Silence-WEEK IN REVIEW

What do a murdered judge in rural Kentucky and a teenage girl found dead in a Tesla in Los Angeles have in common? Power. Silence. And the terrifying psychology of what happens when no one speaks up—until it’s too late. In this special Hidden Killers hour, we’re joined by Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, to break down two high-profile cases where power dynamics, manipulation, and narrative control aren’t just side plots—they’re the main event. 🚨 Segment One: The Sheriff & The Judge  In September 2024, Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines walked into Judge Kevin Mullins’ chambers and opened fire. The killing was caught on courthouse surveillance. But the deeper story? A civil rights lawsuit, women coming forward with allegations of sexual coercion tied to courthouse officials, and a justice system so insular that it turned on itself. Dreeke unpacks the behavioral collapse, the institutional rot, and what it means when the courthouse becomes the crime scene. 🚗 Segment Two: The Tesla Trunk & the Dead Girl  Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a teenager, was found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd. No one reported her missing. The car sat for weeks. And since the discovery? Nothing. No arrests. No statement. Just silence. Robin Dreeke helps us explore the psychology of concealment, celebrity protection, and how behavior always tells a story—even when the public statements never come. Together, these cases ask one chilling question: What happens when those in power are the ones who cross the line—and everyone else looks away? This episode dives deep into warning signs, behavioral red flags, and the emotional detachment that often precedes tragedy. From rural corruption to celebrity image control, Dreeke brings his years of FBI experience to help us see what these silences are really saying. 🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth breakdowns, expert behavioral analysis, and true crime coverage from the darkest corners of power and influence. #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #PowerAndSilence #JusticeSystemFail #CelesteRivas #d4vd #LetcherCounty #JudgeMurder #PsychologicalAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy’s Breakdown Begins: “Terrified, Depressed, and Broke”

Diddy’s Breakdown Begins: “Terrified, Depressed, and Broke”

Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly “in shock,” “terrified of going broke,” and “anxious” about his 50-month prison sentence — but should we care? In this brutal, voice-driven commentary, Tony Brueski rips through the performative grief, fake remorse, and narcissistic delusions surrounding Diddy’s fall from power. While Diddy mourns canceled speaking gigs and the collapse of his public image, his victims — including Cassie Ventura — are still living the trauma he left behind. Cassie’s powerful letter to the court described years of fear, coercion, and hypervigilance. She moved her family out of New York to escape the man who controlled and brutalized her. And unlike Diddy, she doesn’t get to walk free in four years. Her sentence is for life. In this segment, we break down the hard facts:  ✔️ The 2016 hotel hallway video showing Diddy attacking Cassie.  ✔️ Allegations from dozens of women detailing “freak-offs,” coercion, and psychological abuse.  ✔️ The 11-minute vanity video Diddy played in court — a tone-deaf attempt to rebrand abuse as the “American Dream.”  ✔️ His reported plea for a Trump pardon — because he still believes power should shield him from consequence. This isn’t a redemption arc. This is the slow, humiliating collapse of a man who built his empire on fear and silence. Diddy isn’t facing injustice — he’s finally facing something resembling accountability. And for once, the mirror doesn’t flinch. Brueski doesn’t hold back. If you still feel sympathy for Combs, this commentary might change your mind — or show you exactly which side of history you’re standing on. 🎙️ From Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, this is the full takedown of Sean Combs’ narcissism, his manipulation of public perception, and the cultural machinery that enabled it. #SeanCombs #DiddyTrial #CassieVentura #HiddenKillers #SurvivorVoices #NarcissisticAbuse #TrueCrimePodcast #CelebrityAccountability #CourtroomJustice #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy’s Sentencing: The Video, The Performance, and Cassie’s Brutal Truth

Diddy’s Sentencing: The Video, The Performance, and Cassie’s Brutal Truth

Sean “Diddy” Combs walked into a Manhattan courtroom hoping for a redemption arc. He left with 50 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine — because this time, the court listened to the women first. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy’s sentencing — from Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter to the government’s demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge’s refusal to let branding outweigh violence. 🎙️ What we cover: 📄 Cassie’s full letter, detailing years of control, violence, and coerced “freak-offs” 📽️ The 11-minute courtroom video montage Diddy’s team used to sell his image — and why it didn’t work 🧠 The psychological tactics behind Diddy’s apology and courtroom performance ⚖️ Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik’s powerful takedown: “a master puppeteer of his own image” 👨‍⚖️ Judge Subramanian’s statement: “Good works can’t wash away the record of this case.” 📉 The sentence: 50 months. No branding. No spin. Just accountability. This isn’t just about one man’s downfall — it’s about the tension between influence and justice, between what the public sees and what the survivors lived through. And in that courtroom? Cassie was finally believed. 🔔 Subscribe for more true crime coverage, courtroom analysis, and deep psychological breakdowns from Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski. #DiddySentencing #CassieVentura #SeanCombs #FreakOffs #SurvivorTestimony #HiddenKillers #AbuseOfPower #FederalCourt #RobinDreeke #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Freak Offs, Violence & Control: Cassie’s Sentencing Letter Against Sean Combs

Freak Offs, Violence & Control: Cassie’s Sentencing Letter Against Sean Combs

Before Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Sean “Diddy” Combs to 50 months in federal prison, he read a letter that few people have actually seen in full — from Casandra Ventura, known to the world as Cassie. This wasn’t a PR statement. It wasn’t a soundbite. It was eleven years of abuse, control, and degradation laid out for the court, in Cassie’s own words. She described being groomed as a teenager, forced into repeated “freak offs” with male sex workers while Diddy dictated every detail — from what she wore to how she looked — under the constant threat of violence, blackmail, and career destruction. Cassie wrote about bruises, scars, infections, addiction, and suicide ideation. She detailed how Diddy’s threats extended to her family and how his power turned her body and livelihood into leverage. She told the judge: “Nothing about this story is great, modern, or loving — this was a horrific decade of my life stained by abuse, violence, forced sex, and degradation.” She warned that Diddy’s public claims of being “changed” and wanting to “mentor” abusers were a façade, writing that the manipulator, aggressor, and trafficker she knew “is who he is as a human.” In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down Cassie Ventura’s full sentencing letter, line by line, and explores what it reveals about Diddy’s pattern of control, the mechanics of coercion, and the reality of survivor testimony in high‑profile cases. We’ll look at how the judge responded, what the sentence really means, and what’s next as Diddy prepares to appeal. 🔔 Subscribe for Hidden Killers’ continuing coverage of the Diddy case, survivor stories, and expert analysis on power and abuse. #CassieVentura #DiddySentencing #SeanCombs #SurvivorTestimony #FreakOffs #HiddenKillers #AbuseOfPower #FederalSentence #JusticeForSurvivors #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Power, Control, and the Dead: Sheriff, d4vd, and Diddy Cases Fully Unpacked

Power, Control, and the Dead: Sheriff, d4vd, and Diddy Cases Fully Unpacked

Three victims. Three abusers. Three systems that looked the other way—until the bodies made it impossible. In this special 2-hour episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we’re diving into three stories that expose what happens when unchecked power collides with silence, manipulation, and violence. 🔹 PART 1: The Sheriff & The Judge — A Courthouse Murder in Kentucky  Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and opened fire. The shooting was caught on surveillance, but the backstory is even darker: civil rights lawsuits, sexual coercion, and a courthouse culture where abuse wasn’t just tolerated — it thrived. With Robin Dreeke, we break down the behavioral collapse that turned a courthouse into a crime scene. 🔹 PART 2: Celeste Rivas & the Tesla Trunk Death — Artist d4vd at the Center  A teenage girl is found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla tied to rising music star d4vd. She was never reported missing. No arrest. No statement. Just silence. Former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins us to analyze the behavior behind the silence — from grooming dynamics to legal distancing — and what the frunk placement reveals psychologically. 🔹 PART 3: Diddy’s Sentencing — Cassie Ventura’s Letter & the Collapse of an Image  Sean “Diddy” Combs is sentenced to 50 months in federal prison. But the real story happened before the gavel dropped — in Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter, in the defense’s campaign-style video plea, and in the judge’s refusal to flinch. We walk through the court record, the government's takedown, and the exact moment branding failed. This isn’t just true crime. This is behavioral analysis, narrative deconstruction, and survivor-centered storytelling — the kind you won’t find in headlines. 🔔 Subscribe now for more deep dives into the darkest corners of power, justice, and the psychological patterns that connect them all. #HiddenKillers #DiddySentencing #CassieVentura #CelesteRivas #d4vd #SheriffStines #JudgeMullins #TrueCrimePodcast #AbuseOfPower #RobinDreeke Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is Diddy’s Jail Letter & “Free Game” Class a Redemption Arc or Reputation Rehab?

Is Diddy’s Jail Letter & “Free Game” Class a Redemption Arc or Reputation Rehab?

Is Diddy’s Jail Letter & “Free Game” Class a Redemption Arc or Reputation Rehab? Sean “Diddy” Combs says he’s changed. He says he’s found God, humility, and sobriety behind bars. But in this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we ask the real question: Is this redemption—or a rebrand? We’re joined by former FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke to examine Diddy’s 9-page letter to Judge Subramanian. It’s emotional. It’s detailed. But is it strategic? Then we dive into Diddy’s new jailhouse initiative: Free Game with Diddy—a six-week mindset class he claims has unified gang members, taught business skills, and given him purpose. Admirable? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the kind of carefully constructed narrative high-control personalities use when the cameras turn against them. Robin takes us inside the tactics:  ▶️ Language cues that reveal intent  ▶️ Power dynamics in confined systems  ▶️ How manipulation thrives behind bars We’re not here to cancel—we’re here to question. Because when someone who built an empire on control and image starts teaching redemption inside jail, we need to ask: Who’s the lesson really for? 🔖 Hashtags #Diddy #FreeGameWithDiddy #JudgeLetter #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #RedemptionOrRebrand #HiddenKillersLive #FBIAnalysis #CelebrityManipulation #PrisonPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy’s Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy’s Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy’s Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy What does a plea for mercy sound like when it's written by one of the most powerful figures in entertainment—and what does it reveal beneath the surface? In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we’re joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down the full letter Sean “Diddy” Combs sent to the judge ahead of sentencing. It’s a letter full of remorse, spiritual language, and a plea for second chances—but is it sincere, or is it tactically engineered for a court that’s seen it all? Dreeke analyzes the behavioral language line by line—what’s genuine, what raises red flags, and how high-profile offenders often craft letters as part of reputation management strategies, not just repentance. Then we turn to "Free Game with Diddy", the jailhouse course Combs says he developed for inmates. Is it a story of redemption and leadership? Or another layer of narrative control from a man who built an empire on charisma and influence? From emotional manipulation to calculated timing, Robin Dreeke breaks down the psychological blueprint of power, guilt, and self-preservation behind bars. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself: Is Diddy evolving—or performing? 🔖 Hashtags #DiddyLetter #RobinDreeke #FBIProfiler #DiddyApology #FreeGameWithDiddy #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersLive #CelebrityJustice #BehavioralAnalysis #DiddySentencing Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before sentencing, Sean “Diddy” Combs wrote a deeply personal letter to the judge, claiming sobriety, remorse, and transformation. But beneath the poetic phrasing lies a different story—one that FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke helps us decode line by line. We ask: Are Diddy’s words authentic—or strategically engineered? Is his “Free Game” jailhouse course a redemptive act—or another chapter in narrative control? How do high-power personalities shift tactics when charm and money no longer apply? This isn’t just a celebrity apology. It’s a blueprint of survival behind bars—crafted by someone who built a life on influence. 🔹 HOUR 2: Donna Adelson — No Parole, No Power, No Escape Then, we move to Donna Adelson, sentenced to life for orchestrating the murder of her former son-in-law. At 75, she's entering the brutal world of Florida’s prison system—where wealth means nothing and your only currency is how well you adapt. We walk through: The emotional shock of reception and suicide watch The dangerous reality of Lowell Correctional Institution The hidden hustles, the unbearable heat, and the psychological toll of aging with no way out Donna once ran a family empire. Now, she may be lucky to secure a spot near a fan. What happens when you lose not just your freedom, but every identity you built to protect yourself?
