The New York Post has unveiled shocking details about Sean “Diddy” Combs and his notorious “Freak Off” parties, following a thorough investigation that accessed a trove of secret videos and documents. The tapes, reportedly filled with disturbing content, expose a series of clandestine gatherings that took place behind the glamor of high-profile Hollywood events. These parties allegedly included troubling activities, many involving other celebrities, that federal investigators claim may have breached multiple laws.
Diddy, arrested on September 16, 2024, in New York, faces serious federal charges, including racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and the transportation of individuals for prostitution. The investigation indicates that many of the “Freak Off” gatherings occurred just hours after major events like the MTV Video Music Awards and Super Bowl parties, when high-profile attendees moved to private venues, away from the public eye.
Among the evidence the New York Post accessed is a series of disturbing video clips and documents, some allegedly showing coercive and exploitative acts that took place at these parties. Prosecutors suggest that individuals, including high-profile guests, may have been manipulated into participation, with some unaware they were being recorded. In one especially troubling video, two men are seen with a young woman who appears disoriented, with Diddy allegedly watching nearby. In other videos, Diddy appears with a younger A-list male celebrity in intimate encounters, their faces reportedly visible on tape.
According to sources close to the investigation, some of these tapes feature individuals who were not informed about the recordings, leading to feelings of betrayal and deep distress among those who learned of their existence. One insider told reporters, “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.”
The New York Post’s investigation found that many of these tapes bear dates matching specific high-profile events, such as the 2004 and 2005 VMAs in Miami and the Super Bowl in Jacksonville. Hours after these events, sources allege that Diddy hosted secretive, wild gatherings at private residences. In one instance, he rented a mansion in Sawgrass, Florida, for $20,000 a week during Super Bowl weekend. The tapes reportedly show a room filled with laughter and suggestive encounters, with Diddy himself allegedly taking part.
Attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, representing one of the individuals involved in a high-profile sexual assault case against Diddy, confirmed during a NewsNation interview that more explicit tapes have surfaced, circulating covertly on the black market. Mitchell-Kidd revealed that she had been approached by an individual asking her to represent them in the sale of one of these tapes, an offer she declined.
She explained, “Yes, there already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood, being shopped around to individuals in Hollywood. 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.”
Mitchell-Kidd also claimed that multiple individuals contacted her, each alleging possession of different tapes featuring high-profile celebrities and Diddy. “The individuals who contacted me purported to have three different tapes with three different celebrities, including Diddy, and then a fourth celebrity without Diddy but in a compromising situation with someone,” she disclosed. She also admitted uncertainty about the tapes’ authenticity, noting only that she was informed of their existence by sources who reportedly held this “treasure trove of videos.”
According to the New York Post, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official involved in a recent raid of Diddy’s Miami home confirmed that the investigation had led to the seizure of materials featuring “recognizable names” from the entertainment world. While the DHS official avoided disclosing identities, they confirmed that more than one celebrity is involved, reinforcing Mitchell-Kidd’s assertions about the presence of other high-profile figures in these tapes.
Investigators believe that Diddy’s activities extend beyond isolated incidents and that he may have orchestrated a systematic operation, controlling his victims through threats and holding these tapes as leverage. The “Freak Off” tapes are considered key evidence in a sprawling investigation, with hundreds of videos and documents now in federal custody, potentially implicating more individuals within Diddy’s circle. Prosecutors allege that the tapes show repeated instances of manipulation and exploitation, presenting a disturbing image of the activities that took place under Diddy’s direction.
Tony Buzbee, a high-profile attorney representing 120 victims, 25 of whom were minors, has publicly shared additional details about the investigation during a press conference in Houston, Texas. Buzbee suggested that the scope of the alleged crimes extends beyond Combs alone, with indications that these incidents form part of a broader criminal network. “This is not just about one individual. We are looking at a complex web of exploitation and abuse that may implicate several individuals across the entertainment industry,” Buzbee stated.
In recent weeks, the revelations surrounding these tapes have reverberated across Hollywood, with several celebrities named in the files reportedly consulting legal counsel about potential fallout if the tapes go public. For some of these individuals, the tapes represent a potential lifetime of reputational damage and emotional trauma, even for those unwittingly caught on film.
The case, with its blend of Hollywood scandal, high-stakes legal battles, and federal investigations, has captured public attention and stirred debates over privacy, exploitation, and the pressures of celebrity culture. As authorities continue their work, many involved parties are bracing for the potential public release of sensitive footage that could have lasting implications across the entertainment industry. The outcome of the investigation, and the potential release of these tapes, may reveal further connections, triggering consequences for those entangled in Diddy’s alleged criminal network.
