Diddy’s lawyers are pushing back on some of the footage obtained in his case. They say the clips prove the “Freak-Offs” with Cassie were consensual.
As per TMZ, Diddy’s defense team has filed documents on the behalf of their high-profile client. According to the submission, his representation claims that the nine videos that federal investigators acquired actually show Diddy and “Victim-1” (presumed to be Cassie) engaging in “private sexual activity between fully consenting adults in a long-term relationship.” They also point out that “Victim-1” did not seemed forced or coerced either saying she “not only consented, but thoroughly enjoyed herself” and “is evidently happy, dominant and completely in control.”
In the indictment federal prosecutors claimed that these tapes capture several “elaborate and produced sex performances,” but Diddy’s lawyers vehemently disagree saying the clips show “adults having consensual sex, plain and simple.” Additionally, they call out that these encounters were not taped secretly and both parties were aware of the cameras each time. “There are no secret cameras, no orgies, no other celebrities involved, no underground tunnels, no minors, and not so much as a hint of coercion or violence.”
Lastly, his counsel makes it clear that the footage was not seized during the raids on Diddy’s homes but actually was in Cassie’s possession the entire time. Therefore, they are left to believe she was the one who turned over the footage to the government.
Diddy’s trial is scheduled to commence May 5.

Another week another accusation for Diddy, as the embattled music icon has just been slapped with yet another lawsuit to add to his ever-growing legal troubles.
Page Six is reporting that Sean “Diddy” Combs has just been hit with another suit from a woman who claims the “Bad Boy For Life” rapper drugged and raped her back in 2000 when she was only 16 years old. In the suit, Jane Doe claims that she ran into Diddy and some of his friends after leaving a babysitting gig she had as a part-time job in Lower Manhattan. She stated that one of his now “well-known” ex-girlfriend’s lived in the building where she was babysitting at the time.
That’s when things went left, allegedly.
Per Page Six:

“Combs engaged her in conversation, asking where she was going so late at night, and that it was not safe for her to be walking alone,” the documents read.
Although the then-16-year-old told Combs, who was in his early 30s at the time, that she lived “around the corner” and “would be fine,” he allegedly insisted on giving her a ride home.
“After much cajoling by Combs, she agreed and got into his car … something [the] plaintiff would come to regret forever,” the filing continued.
The woman recalled feeling “scared when they did not drop her off at home as promised.”
She claimed Combs “gave her a drink to ‘calm her down,’” which left her feeling “groggy and unsteady.”
That’s when she said that Combs and his two male friends proceeded to sexually assault her and ultimately dropped her off in the lobby of her apartment building.
Jane Doe is suing Diddy and two unnamed defendants for unspecified damages.
As we said before, it’s only a matter of time before more people come forward with their own horror stories about their interactions with Diddy. One can only imagine how many more people are out there either too scared to come forward or simply too embarrassed to do so.

More former associates of Diddy are coming forward with details of his supposed double life. Chopper from Da Band says Diddy is indeed gay and caught him kissing another man, allegedly.
As spotted on HipHopDX, Chopper recently conducted an interview with The Art Of Dialogue and discussed his time as a Bad Boy Entertainment rapper. During the sit down Chopper discussed his dealings with Diddy and revealed some surprising details that he either witnessed or knows to be true. For starters he claims he saw Diddy kissing another man. “I walked in the studio and seen two powerful men doing things that was uncomfortable to my eyes. You can take that how you want it” he explained.
Chopper went on to share more details on the awkward moment. “I opened the door, I seen what I seen, and I hurried and slammed the door […] It fucked me up, I’m not gonna lie. I looked at Diddy differently after that. I wasn’t feeling that Bad Boy shit no more.” Soon after he was given more priority as a solo artist and was awarded budget to film a video for his single “Lil Daddy.”
When asked by the host on his thoughts on Diddy’s sexuality, Chopper didn’t hold any punches about his opinion. “Yes, f*cking right that n*gga’s gay! Yes, he’s gay. But I don’t think being gay is bad. If that’s their preference, then that’s their preference.” he stated.

The lawsuits against Diddy keep coming in. A former employee says he was in charge of securing the rooms for the alleged freak offs.
As per TMZ the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul was hit with another legal action against him. On Wednesday, Dec. 23 Philip Pines filed against him with claims of sexual battery, sexual harassment, sex trafficking and more. The man says he worked for Diddy 2019 to 2021 and alleges that his duties included arranging, organizing and concealing the infamous sex parties that now have become synonymous with the Sean Combs. In the filing Pines says that he would not only book hotels for the invite only events but make sure they were staged to Diddy’s liking including ensuring they were stocked with alcohol, marijuana, buckets of ice, honey packs to improve erections and stamina, baby oil, towels, unnamed illegal drugs and more. Also on the list is a “Kink Power Banger” which is a drill like powered sex machine that produces over up to 195 strokes per minute.
Pines says that these events were referred to as “Wild King Nights” and often lasted a couple of days and involved multiple women. Aside from organizing and preparing the outlandish meet ups he also was tasked with ensuring no trace of evidence was left after the event was done. This included personally cleaning out the rooms removing bodily fluids stains and retrieving sex toys. In addition he says he would leave the housekeeping staff big tips in an effort to from them reporting any of the damages. Lastly, Pines says he was also forced to participate in the parties as a test of his loyalty and Diddy treated him “like an animal playing fetch in order to prove his loyalty.”
Diddy’s legal team has responded to matter exclusively to TMZ. “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor” their statement reads. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

Now that Diddy’s locked up and facing multiple lawsuits from both men and women who allege that the music icon sexually assaulted them over the decades, he has been slapped with yet another lawsuit from a woman who says she too fell victim to the now notoriously disgraced mogul.
According to TMZ, LaTroya Grayson has just filed a lawsuit against Diddy, Bad Boy Records and other entities as she claims that Diddy drugged and raped her in 2006 after she won a local radio contest in Oklahoma that sent her to one of Diddy’s infamous “White Parties” in New York City. After locking down two tickets to NYC courtesy of KJAMZ radio station, Grayson says she and her sibling attended the Diddler’s soiree and ultimately experienced the horror that many of Diddy’s alleged victims have been coping with for years.
Per TMZ:
Grayson says she and her sibling went to the party — which was changed to a “Black Party” — but were separated when entering the party … with Grayson getting in and her sibling being left outside.
Grayson says waitresses circulated around the room with premade drinks and — after she says she had only two — she began to feel sick and headed for the restroom.
Grayson says she has no recollection of the rest of the night … instead waking up at Saint Vincent’s Medical Center. When she woke up, she says she had a ripped shirt, no underwear, and most of her money was gone.
It’s important to note, Grayson remembers nothing about this assault she says happened … so, she can’t say with certainty who allegedly raped her — and, she never mentions actually seeing or speaking with Diddy at the event.
Grayson says when she got back to her hometown of Oklahoma she received an anonymous call from a woman warning her against pursing legal action against Diddy saying that his celebrity status would basically protect him and she’d be “wasting her time.” Unfortunately, it seems like the warning worked as Grayson has remained mum about the incident for almost two decades.
Naturally, Diddy’s lawyers are denying any such assault took place and have dismissed Grayson’s claim as “pure fiction,” while pointing out that she doesn’t actually remember the assault taking place. “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every baseless lawsuit and lawyer-driven money grab. He has faith in the judicial process, in which fact will be separated from opportunistic fabrications like these.”
As we’ve said before, one has to wonder how many more people will ultimately come forward with their own horror stories about “The Diddler.”
That upcoming docuseries about Diddy is going to be one helluva ride, b.

Tony Buzbee, the high-profile attorney representing the alleged victims of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z, is facing a heavy accusation himself. A woman has launched a lawsuit against Tony Buzbee alleging that the Texas lawyer gave her a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
As reported by TMZ, the lawsuit filed by Jane Doe in New York Superior Court claims that Tony Buzbee has been connected with her since 2018 after initially meeting online. Doe wrote in the filing that Buzbee interacted with her to the point of convincing her to go on a date and travel to his hometown of Houston for a night out.
Doe stated further in the filing that Buzbee booked a hotel room and laid on the charm before the pair engaged in intercourse. Doe claims that Bubzee failed to disclose his status and passed on the unnamed STI to her. The next day, Doe says she noticed pain around her groin area, and after an examination, the STI diagnosis was revealed. Doe says she contacted Buzbee, who allegedly apologized and appeared to note that he knew of his status before having sex with the woman.
Despite the diagnosis, Doe continued to date Buzbee despite feeling shame about the matter. She also claims that Buzbee used his power and influence to manipulate and control Doe on his terms and to keep his disease a secret from the public.
Buzbee told TMZ that the lawsuit from Jane Doe is a shakedown tactic connected to his pursuit of Combs, calling the claim “false, frivolous, laughable and ridiculous” and believes it will be dismissed.
Tony Buzbee was sued for assault in November for allegedly using a champagne flute as a weapon according to a former client of his.

Life behind bars is taking a toll on Diddy’s physical appearance. A reporter says he appeared to be thinner and much grayer at a recent court hearing.
As spotted on Page Six, the founder of Bad Boy Entertainment looks to have lost a bit of his signature luster. On Wednesday (Dec. 18), Diddy appeared at a hearing to review his forthcoming federal trial. Reporter Elizabeth Millner of Law & Crime was in attendance for the proceeding and gave an account about how he looked. “He appeared just astonishingly thinner, which you can expect [from him being] inside a federal detention center for a couple of months now,” she noted. “A lot different from the luxury lifestyle that he was living before, but he appeared very noticeably thinner and maybe being locked up in detention is starting to wear on him.” Millner also pointed out that his hair is a lot more gray than before.
The celebrity gossip website reached out to Diddy’s legal team for comment on the matter but did not hear back. A source that is apparently close to the “Last Night” performer told the outlet that his change in appearance is due to engaging in more physical activity while he awaits trial. “He has been very active, remains in good spirits, and, as always, he was happy to see his children,” the source explained.
Diddy is being held at Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn (MDC Brooklyn). You can see reporter Elizabeth Millner’s analysis below starting at the 2:06 hour mark.

Well, it looks like Diddy is getting used to life behind bars as he’s surprisingly withdrawn his bid to get bail.
According to Variety, the “Bad Boy For Life” rapper has surprisingly fallen back on his attempt to get sprung from prison after being denied multiple times over the past few months. While he definitely has the money to continue to pursue the request, it seems like Diddy’s finally thrown in the towel and has accepted the fact that he’ll be locked up until his trial date gets underway in May of 2025.
Variety reports:
“Mr. Combs does not seek to appeal the district court’s denial of his renewed motion and hereby moves to voluntarily dismiss the appeal,” reads the motion. “Counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal.”
Combs signed the motion, which stated that “(a) counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal; (b) he understands counsel’s explanation, and (c) he desires to withdraw and voluntarily dismiss the appeal.”
Combs has been lobbying for months to get out of prison, offering a $50 million bond backed by equity in his homes, the promise of security monitoring and assurance that he would not interfere with investigations surrounding the charges. In his latest bail appeal hearing on Nov. 27, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that “there is evidence of supporting a serious risk of witness tampering” and that Combs contacted witnesses even after his grand jury testimony in June 2024.
We’re low-key surprised he gave up just before the Christmas holidays. You’d think he continue to fight just so he could spend Christmas and New Year’s with his family. Could there actually be some truth to the rumors that Diddy is being treated like royalty by his fellow inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn? We may never know, but with charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, Diddy might’ve felt it was just a waste of money at this point to continue to fight for his freedom.
