Diddy Sentencing Breakdown: Prosecutor Explains What’s Really at Stake

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. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop mogul now facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking, reportedly maintained strict rules around the appearance of women attending his parties. Party organizers were allegedly instructed to deny entry to women weighing over 140 pounds, even carrying scales in their cars to enforce the rule, according to an unnamed organizer who spoke to the *New York Post*. Exceptions were allowed only if the woman was "really tall." These exclusive parties, often linked to major events like the Super Bowl and MTV Music Awards, reportedly devolved into so-called “freak offs,” sex-fueled after-parties where federal prosecutors allege widespread sexual abuse took place. According to the U.S. District Attorney’s office, Combs would drug, physically abuse, and film attendees without their consent, threatening to ruin their careers by releasing explicit footage if they did not comply with his demands. In recent weeks, more than 150 alleged victims, including both men and women, have come forward, with over two dozen civil suits filed against Combs. Among the most serious accusations, one woman claims she was only 13 years old when Combs allegedly drugged and raped her at a "freak off." Another organizer confirmed that they never asked female guests their age, stating, “It was don’t ask, don’t tell,” and adding, “At the time, I was really young myself, and I honestly thought that we weren’t asking their age because of drinking laws.” Combs, now 54, was arrested on September 17 on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He has pleaded not guilty to these charges, which allege that he coerced women into engaging in sexual acts over extended periods, sometimes lasting days. A spokesperson for Combs’ legal team has reiterated that he denies all allegations. The physical standards for female attendees reportedly went beyond weight. The organizer speaking to the *New York Post* revealed that guests could not have visible "flab" or cellulite, could not be heavily tattooed or pierced, and were expected to have long hair, wear stiletto heels, and show cleavage. The organizer explained, “I never stayed around for the freak offs and had no idea that these girls were expected to have sex with people.” The allegations paint a disturbing picture of a culture of exploitation surrounding Combs’ parties, adding to the scrutiny surrounding the former music mogul. Until his trial, which is scheduled for May 5, 2025, Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he shares a cell with convicted crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried.
