Freak Off tapes being sold in Hollywood: Lawyer
Earlier, the lawyer revealed that a sexually explicit video from Diddy's archives, allegedly featuring a high-profile industry A-lister, is being shopped around Hollywood. Without revealing names, Mitchell-Kidd claimed she was approached about the tape and shared that the individual filmed was unaware of the recording.
During a recent appearance on NewsNation, Mitchell-Kidd stated, “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.”
“Mr. Combs was in the tape and this other person is – I would venture to say, more high-profile than Mr. Combs,” she continued.
The attorney representing some of Diddy's high-profile accusers cases revealed that she had seen stills from an explicit video allegedly involving Diddy and a well-known celebrity. She confirmed the video’s authenticity and said the other person was clearly identifiable. According to her, the footage was taken at Diddy's Atlanta home, where hidden cameras were allegedly used, and it appeared the other individual was unaware of being recorded.
