Diddy Sues Over Fake Sex Tapes, Claims They're Ruining His Trial

Sean “Diddy” Combs is denying incriminating claims.

A well-known R&B artist has brought forward a $50 million lawsuit against an individual who claimed on NewsNation (a program owned by Nexstar Media Group) that they had videos showing the artist sexually assaulting celebrities and minors. Apart from this person, the artist is also suing Ariel Mitchell, their attorney, and NewsNation’s parent company, Nexstar Media Group, for spreading these allegations.

The lawsuit, submitted in the Southern District of New York on January 22nd, asserts that all parties involved conspired knowingly to produce and disseminate false videos about Mr. Combs, intending to use these lies for personal gain, increased social media popularity, damaging his reputation, livelihood, and right to a fair trial.

TopMob News has attempted to contact the accused party, Mitchell, as well as NewsNation for a response, but we have yet to receive any feedback.

Additionally, the lawsuit describes both Mitchell and the accuser as prominent figures on social media, who are accused of stirring up a prolonged media storm. They allegedly sought to surpass one another in an unscrupulous contest for self-promotion, disregarding the facts for the sake of garnering attention.

Beyond merely quoting social and mainstream outlets as their tools for disseminating these supposed falsehoods, the lawsuit claims they’d regurgitate them to anyone willing to lend an ear. In other words, they didn’t hold back from spreading these rumors wherever they could!

The lawsuit additionally describes the “significant harm to reputation and financial loss” that Combs, currently imprisoned at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting a trial on May 5 for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution (Combs has pleaded not guilty to all these charges), allegedly suffered due to the accuser’s false information.

Regarding the source of the alleged tapes: The lawsuit suggests that the accuser declared he obtained the videos from Diddy’s late ex-partner, Kim Porter (who passed away due to lobar pneumonia in 2018 and was the mother of his four children). However, Diddy disputes these assertions, as per the lawsuit, since the accuser supposedly never interacted with Diddy nor has any connection to his family members.

The suit accuses Mitchell of not investigating his client’s false claims about non-existent sex tapes, and also criticizes NewsNation for failing to investigate before airing a segment on the matter. It argues that by broadcasting these lies, NewsNation was irresponsible and amplified them as truth without proper verification.

In the lawsuit, it’s asserted that the claim that “many people accept fabricated ‘evidence'” is being made, and this suit contends that spreading misinformation encroaches on Combs’ constitutional right to a fair trial.

In the court case, it’s argued that people are being led to believe in fake evidence, which the lawsuit believes undermines Combs’ legal right to a fair trial by disseminating false information.

Erica Wolff, Combs’ lawyer, stated in a January 23rd release to TopMob, “These defendants have deliberately concocted and spread malicious falsehoods, blatantly disregarding the truth. Their untruths have tainted public opinion and corrupted the potential jury pool. This lawsuit aims to make clear that such intentional deceit, which threatens Mr. Combs’ right to a fair trial, will no longer be allowed.

Following Sean “Diddy” Combs’ denial of guilt regarding sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges on September 17, his legal team proposed a $50 million bond package with assets such as equity in his Miami residence and his mother’s house, while also restricting his travel to specific regions including parts of Florida, New York, and New Jersey.

In response, as indicated in a letter acquired by TopMob News, they were ready to guide the courtstep-by-step through a sequence of moves made by Mr. Combs during the last six months, demonstrating that he is neither a flight risk nor poses any threat to members of the community.

In simple terms, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky declined the request for release and ordered Sean Combs (also known as Puff Daddy or Diddy) to remain in custody without bail. He is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he resides in a specific section that has housed many notable prisoners.

His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, stated to the court, as reported by NBC New York, that he is not an ideal individual. There have been instances of substance abuse and he’s been involved in harmful relationships.

Consequently, he mentioned that his client was receiving “care and counseling for issues requiring such attention.

Despite any difficulties, it was conveyed that Combs is in high spirits, his attorney shared with the media following the court hearing on September 17th. He exudes confidence.

Approximately 1,000 bottles of baby oil and personal lubricants were taken in the searches conducted at Combs’ houses in Los Angeles and Miami in March 2024, as indicated by a 14-page indictment made public on September 17.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to clarify a point regarding a recent case: It is alleged that certain individuals accumulated oil and lubricants for events they referred to as “freak-offs.” These gatherings were reportedly arranged by one individual who is accused of manipulating and intimidating women, as well as male sex workers, into engaging in sexual acts.

His attorney, Agnifilo, stated during the TMZ documentary titled “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, which premiered on Sept 27th, that he couldn’t explain where the figure of 1,000 originated. Questioning why someone would require such a large amount, the lawyer speculated, “He owns a spacious home and shops in bulk. I believe there are Costcos at every location where he has a residence.

On the other hand, Costco explicitly declared that none of their US stores stock baby oil. They made this assertion to TMZ.

In May 2024, CNN released hotel surveillance footage from 2016 that seemed to depict Diddy (Sean Combs) physically attacking his girlfriend Cassie, whose birth name is Cassandra Ventura. This altercation corresponded with an incident described in a lawsuit she filed against him on November 16, 2023. The following day, both parties announced they had reached a settlement.

In a video shared on Instagram, Combs expressed that he found himself in a difficult situation and hit an all-time low. However, he did not offer any justifications for the actions shown in the footage. He acknowledged that his behavior in the video was completely unacceptable, taking full accountability for his actions. Since then, he mentioned, he has been attending therapy sessions and rehabilitation programs, and he is dedicated to improving himself day by day and becoming a better person.

During a September 18th hearing regarding Combs’ second application for bail, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson reportedly stated (as per NBC News) that Combs is accused of sending a text in the time after the assault which said, “Give me a call, the police are here.” Another message read, “I have six children. Call me, I’m surrounded.

In the courtroom, Johnson did not mention Cassie by name. Instead, she stated that the alleged victim of Combs had responded via text, expressing disapproval: “I find it disturbing that you believe your actions are acceptable.

Bail was once again denied, this time by U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr.

On October 3rd, due to unavailability for a trial date, the Combs case was reallocated to Judge Arun Subramanian.

During an Oct. 10 status hearing, Subramanian set a trial date of May 5, 2025.

As an overly zealous admirer putting this into my own words, I’d say: Your Honor, I, being utterly invested in this case, have shared my anticipation with you that the trial of Combs might stretch across a good three weeks. However, I must also bring your attention to the tantalizing possibility that additional charges could potentially be levied against him, should a more comprehensive indictment come into play.

Agnifilo said in court they’d need about a week to put on their case.

Simultaneously, the lawyer mentioned in a TMZ document that Combs was eager to take the stand and present his case personally.

Agnifilo stated, “I’m not sure if I can prevent him from taking the stand, but I believe he’s quite enthusiastic about sharing his side of things.

In a court document filed on November 15, it was claimed that Combs attempted to circumvent prison regulations by arranging payments to fellow inmates so they could make phone calls for him, and also set up three-way conversations as an effort to hinder the ongoing investigation against him. This action demonstrates his disrespect for jailhouse rules.

The court document claimed that the accused possesses a remarkable talent for persuading people – workers, relatives, even inmates from the M.D.C., as stated by the New York Times.

In a recent attempt to secure his release from custody, Combs’ lawyers contended in court documents submitted last November that the prosecution’s case against him was weak. They further stated that reaching out to potential witnesses for his defense should not be considered as an act of obstruction or suggest any risk of obstructing justice.

According to the Times, in a court appearance on November 19th, attorney Agnifilo contested the prosecution’s utilization of handwritten notes found during a jail search, claiming it as a breach of attorney-client privilege and an overall institutional failure. These notes were being used to strengthen their case against granting bail for the defendant.

The information within the notes had been withheld from public view, as it was blacked out in official documents. However, during the trial, prosecutors implied that certain passages from Combs’ writings seemed to indicate an attempt to hinder their investigation.

In response to court documents, it was argued by the prosecution that the search of the jail was strategically planned in advance and was not specifically aimed at Combs. Additionally, they stated that the notes were initially scrutinized by a team from the U.S. Attorney’s Office to eliminate any confidential or privileged information.

In a different phrasing, Agnifilo suggested that the documents evaluated by the prosecution were frequently taken by Combs to his attorney meetings as part of his regular materials.

As a die-hard devotee, I’d rephrase it like this: In my fervor to follow every detail, I learned that Judge Subramanian instructed the prosecution team to eliminate snapshots of their notes, as he contemplated whether or not Combs’ rights were being infringed upon.
