Diddy's Team Claims CNN Altered & Destroyed Cassie Video In New Court Filing

Diddy's Team Claims CNN Altered & Destroyed Cassie Video In New Court Filing

Diddy's Team Claims CNN Altered & Destroyed Cassie Video In New Court Filing
The footage is brutal. There’s no way around it. The grainy hotel surveillance clip from 2016 shows Sean “Diddy” Combs physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hallway. It’s not a rumor. It’s not hearsay. It’s right there in black and white. And when CNN obtained the video and aired it, the world saw something Diddy had spent years denying. His response? An Instagram apology, admitting his actions were "inexcusable" and saying he was "truly sorry."

End of story? Not quite. Because now, Combs and his legal team are crying foul, claiming the video was “altered.” They’ve filed a letter with prosecutors arguing that CNN “substantially altered” the footage—covering the timestamp, changing the sequence, and speeding it up to make his actions look worse. The letter, obtained by The Mirror US, insists the video is misleading and should be thrown out. The implication is clear: if they can make the tape look unreliable, they can cast doubt on the entire case.

CNN, for its part, is having none of it. A spokesperson flatly denied the allegations, stating that CNN “never altered the video and did not destroy the original copy of the footage, which was retained by the source.” They also pointed out that the network aired the story months before Combs was arrested, suggesting there’s no grand conspiracy here—just an undeniable piece of evidence that doesn’t do Diddy any favors.

Cassie’s attorney, Douglas Wigdor, had a response of his own, and he didn’t mince words. He called Combs’ argument “disingenuous” and said it’s nothing more than an attempt to keep “disturbing” evidence out of court. He added that he is “confident that the video fairly and accurately represents what happened” and that Combs will be held accountable for his actions.

The stakes here are enormous. The lawsuit Cassie filed in November 2023, which was quickly settled, already painted a damning picture of their relationship. She accused Combs of years of physical and sexual abuse, and though he initially denied the claims, this video aligns perfectly with her allegations. It’s a rare instance where the public gets to see what usually stays hidden behind closed doors.

Of course, Combs’ legal team is doing what any defense team would—throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Their letter claims CNN “purchased the only known copy of the hotel’s surveillance footage, uploaded that footage into a free editing software, altered the video, and then destroyed the original footage.” Now, they plan to file a motion regarding the video and “disclose subpoenaed materials to the government.”

But here’s the thing: if this tape was doctored, why hasn’t Combs’ team produced another version? If CNN truly manipulated the video, wouldn’t the hotel itself have a backup to prove it? Instead, the argument relies on speculation—an attempt to muddy the waters and make people question their own eyes. Because if there’s anything history has taught us, it’s that powerful men caught in ugly situations don’t go down quietly. They fight. They distract. They reframe the narrative.

But at the end of the day, the tape exists. And it’s hard to watch. It’s not about a he-said-she-said anymore. It’s about what we can see with our own eyes. And no amount of legal maneuvering changes that.

Kid Cudi Testifies - Inside the Firebombing That Rocked Diddy’s Trial

Kid Cudi Testifies - Inside the Firebombing That Rocked Diddy’s Trial

What really happened between Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kid Cudi? In this powerful episode, we unpack Kid Cudi’s federal court testimony in the ongoing trial against Combs, which includes disturbing allegations of retaliation, intimidation, and psychological warfare. According to Cudi, his brief relationship with Cassie Ventura became a trigger for a series of disturbing events—starting with an alleged break-in at his home and ending with his Porsche torched in his driveway, all allegedly orchestrated to send a message. Using forensic testimony and real-time courtroom reporting, we break down Cudi’s account of the firebombing, the eerie warning Cassie gave him beforehand, and the psychological tension during his face-to-face encounter with Combs afterward. Was the apology years later genuine—or part of a larger manipulation strategy? Former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke weighs in with expert behavioral analysis, revealing how symbolic violence, emotional isolation, and strategic silence often function in high-control individuals. This isn’t just about celebrity drama—it’s about power, fear, and the way they intersect behind the scenes. If you're following the Diddy trial, this is essential viewing for understanding one of the most chilling witness accounts to date. #diddytrial #kidcuditestimony #firebombing #federalcourt #cassieventura #robindreeke #behavioralanalysis #celebritycrime #coercivecontrol #truecrimepodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Did Someone Silence Victim-#Three in the Diddy Trial? Legal Fallout Explained With Attorney Eric Faddis

Did Someone Silence Victim-#Three in the Diddy Trial? Legal Fallout Explained With Attorney Eric Faddis

Did Someone Silence Victim-#Three in the Diddy Trial? Legal Fallout Explained With Attorney Eric Faddis In this episode, former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us to dissect one of the most unsettling developments in the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs — the mysterious disappearance of “Victim-3.” As federal investigators push forward in a sweeping case involving allegations of sex trafficking, coercion, and decades-long abuse, a key witness has reportedly gone missing just as their testimony could have sealed major parts of the prosecution’s case. We explore the legal implications of a missing victim in a high-profile federal case — what it means for the prosecution, how it might affect the defense strategy, and whether this could open the door for obstruction charges. Could this be witness intimidation? A calculated disappearance? Or is something even more nefarious in play? Eric Faddis helps us unpack what’s actually happening in the courtroom and behind the scenes. What tools does the DOJ have when a cooperating witness suddenly vanishes? What precedent exists for trying a case when critical voices go silent? And how will the court protect remaining witnesses moving forward? We also talk about how this disappearance plays into public narratives around powerful defendants like Combs, and whether this incident signals a bigger unraveling in the case—or a desperate attempt to hold it together. If you’ve been following the Diddy case and want to know what this means for its future, you won’t want to miss this legal deep dive.

Diddy Trial Day 8 - A Shocking Look Inside Diddy’s Closet of Secrets... & Baby Oil.mp3

In today’s explosive developments from the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, we break down everything revealed inside his Miami mansion—straight from the courtroom. Federal Agent Gerard Gannon took the stand and physically presented the evidence seized in the 2024 raid: loaded firearms with defaced serial numbers, cocaine and MDMA tucked into designer bags, stacks of baby oil and lubricants, and cell phones hidden inside Balenciaga boots. Prosecutors argue that this wasn't just bizarre—this was infrastructure for a larger pattern of coercion and sex trafficking. We’ll walk you through exactly what was found, where it was found, and why prosecutors believe it paints a picture of calculated control. From sex paraphernalia to drug paraphernalia, this wasn’t just a party—it was allegedly a power mechanism. Then we examine the counterpunch from the defense, which focused not on denying the existence of these items, but on criticizing the raid itself—its SWAT-like tactics, its militarized optics, and the absence of weapons on Combs’s staff. Whether you’re following the case as a legal junkie, a fan of forensic psychology, or just want to understand the shocking level of detail involved in this investigation, this is a breakdown you don’t want to miss. #truecrime #SeanCombs #DiddyTrial #federaltrial #forensicevidence #cassieventura #georgekaplan #diddyevidence #traumabonding #celebrityjustice

Inside Diddy's Alleged Plot: The Night Kid Cudi’s Porsche Went Up in Flames

Inside Diddy's Alleged Plot: The Night Kid Cudi’s Porsche Went Up in Flames Kid Cudi, the emotionally raw and critically acclaimed artist behind hits like "Day 'n' Nite" and "Pursuit of Happiness," found himself at the center of a terrifying real-life mystery in 2012. One cold January night, Cudi’s Porsche was deliberately set ablaze in his Los Angeles driveway—a chilling event officially ruled as intentional arson by the Los Angeles Fire Department. But who was behind this terrifying act? Prosecutors now say the flames lead back to Sean "Diddy" Combs. The federal trial against Diddy revolves around his alleged threats and jealousy over Cudi’s short-lived romance with Cassie Ventura, Combs’s ex-girlfriend. Cassie testified under oath that Diddy explicitly threatened to blow up Kid Cudi’s car weeks before the explosion. With Kid Cudi himself stepping forward publicly to confirm Cassie’s claims, this trial has taken a dark, disturbing turn. Was this explosive act an isolated incident or part of a calculated pattern of intimidation by one of music’s biggest moguls? Dive into the chilling details of the case, and discover why Kid Cudi’s upcoming testimony could be pivotal in delivering justice. #KidCudi #SeanCombs #CassieVentura #FederalTrial #TrueCrime #MusicIndustry #CelebrityTrial #ArsonCase #JusticeForCassie #CourtroomDrama  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Who Is Victim-3? Where Did She Go? Unmasking the Missing Witness in Diddy's Federal Case

Who Is Victim-3? Where Did She Go? Unmasking the Missing Witness in Diddy's Federal Case

Who Is Victim-3? Where Did She Go? Unmasking the Missing Witness in Diddy's Federal Case In one of the most explosive federal sex-trafficking trials in recent celebrity history, a single absence has captivated observers, legal analysts, and the public alike: the mysterious disappearance of "Victim-3" — a woman believed by many to be Diddy’s former girlfriend, Gina Huynh. As prosecutors work to build a case against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging years of coercion, violence, and exploitation, one key voice has gone silent. In this episode, we break down everything we know about the missing witness in Diddy's federal trial. Who is she? What did she previously allege? And most importantly, why did she vanish just days before she was expected to testify? Using confirmed court disclosures, prior interviews, and publicly documented allegations, we explore the facts — not the rumors — behind her relationship with Combs and her sudden withdrawal from the trial. We’ll walk through the possible legal and emotional reasons a witness like this might disappear: from fear of retaliation, trauma avoidance, or personal reluctance to re-engage with past abuse. We’ll also examine what her expected testimony could have meant for the prosecution, including how her story allegedly aligned with the broader pattern of abuse already outlined by other survivors like Cassie Ventura. Could this missing witness reshape the outcome of the trial? Is her absence a gap in the narrative or a sign of deeper power dynamics at play? And what happens to justice when the people meant to speak disappear? This is the story of the missing piece — not a theory, not a headline — but the legal and human fallout of a voice we were meant to hear and never did. #diddytrial #seancombs #ginahuynh #truecrime #missingwitness #federalsextrafficking #celebritytrial #courtroomdrama #witnessvanished #cassieventura Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
