Lawyer claims explicit 'Diddy tapes' being shopped around Hollywood before public release

A lawyer representing a new accuser of Sean “Diddy” Combs has claimed she was approached regarding the "sale of one of the Diddy tapes," which reportedly features the rapper, who was indicted last week on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, along with someone “more high-profile” than Combs.

“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around, … but one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video they were in possession of and to contact the person who was in the video to see if they were interested in purchasing the video before it became public knowledge,” Ariel Mitchell-Kidd said Friday on NewsNation’s Banfield. “I can tell the video was pornographic in nature. … This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem the person isn’t looking into the video. To me, it doesn’t seem like that person knows they’re being videotaped.”

Mitchell-Kidd further stated she was contacted recently by a new client who alleges Combs raped her in 2018 and had filed a police report at the time.

“She called me and told me about her assault and her escape,” Mitchell-Kidd said. “She was at a friend’s house who had industry ties, and Diddy decided to come to the house.”

According to Mitchell-Kidd, her client became aware that Combs intended to traffic her for sex when he arrived.

“It led to her being served a drink. She started to feel woozy. Combs sexually assaulted her with an inanimate object,” Mitchell-Kidd said. “And then directed another gentleman to sexually assault her while he watched and pleasured himself.”

Mitchell-Kidd explained that her client managed to escape, running into the street, where she was seen by a neighbor.
