A confidant of an A-list celebrity has disclosed that the star is “horrified” at the prospect of a sex tape allegedly featuring them with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs being hawked to media outlets. The New York Post was told by the source that the celeb feels it amounts to a “betrayal” and a “violation”.
Expanding on the matter, one insider close to the unnamed star detailed: “It’s triggering. It feels like a betrayal and a violation, and it’s causing a lot of issues. It brings up some really disturbing and bad memories.”
In a dramatic turn of events last month, the notorious rapper and record executive found himself under arrest and held without bail on grave federal charges such as sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting for prostitution. Combs has vociferously denied all allegations against him, with his lawyer vehemently stating that Combs is “an innocent man with nothing to hide”.
Current reports suggest multiple individuals are attempting to monetise footage that apparently depicts the celebrity alongside the rap figure in what seems to be an intimate encounter, with purported images showing a man bearing resemblance to Sean intertwined with the high-profile individual. The New York Post claims that the faces of both parties are discernible in the contested footage.

An insider allegedly confided to the press: “It’s a total nightmare. He feels like he was victimized years ago and is now being victimized yet again. If this footage gets out, it will follow him for life. It will be on the internet forever”, reports the Mirror.
A separate source associated with the star asserted: “There’s not much he can do about it, if there was a video taken without his knowledge that somehow gets out. So all he can do is pray. He’s praying that this all goes away.”
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, an attorney claiming to represent several of Sean’s accusers, disclosed on NewsNation that she has observed stills from the purported tape but hasn’t seen the full material. Ariel stated: “Mr. Combs was in the tape and this other person is – I would venture to say, more high-profile than Mr. Combs. I can verify that it exists. That it’s real and that the other person in the video is very visible. There’s no question of if it’s that person in the video.”
In contradiction to Ariel’s assertions, Sean’s legal team robustly denies any awareness of such a recording, branding her claims as a pursuit of “publicity and attention.”
