Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, the lawyer representing the woman who accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault in 2018, made a shocking statement during an interview with Ashleigh Banfield on NewsNation.
Mitchell-Kidd, who previously represented another plaintiff against Combs, revealed the harrowing details of the alleged assault on her current client.
According to Mitchell-Kidd, the incident occurred at a private residence in 2018, when her client was set on fire and then sexually assaulted by Combs and another person.
Victims, in a state of terror, escape into the streets, where neighbors intervene. A police report was filed, though Combs was not named at first for fear of retaliation.
In a jaw-dropping twist, Mitchell-Kidd said that he had been approached by individuals trying to sell tapes featuring Diddy—tapes that may have been recorded without the knowledge of those involved.
According to Mitchell-Kidd, the tapes were pornographic in nature and featured Diddy alongside other, more famous figures.
Mitchell-Kidd said tapes allegedly featuring the rap mogul are now circulating on the Hollywood black market.
He claimed to have seen the footage from the tape and confirmed its authenticity.
Transcript of the interview:
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: I was also recently contacted by someone who wanted me to represent them in the sale of one of Diddy’s tapes, which I declined because…
Ashleigh Banfield: Wait a moment. Say it again. Back it up. You said there was a tape and it was for sale?
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: Yes, there is shopping.
Ashleigh Banfield: We’ve heard of tapes. It is important to shop-
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: Yes, there have been tapes leaked in Hollywood, sold to individuals in Hollywood. But someone contacted me to buy a certain video they had and contacted the person in the video to see if they were interested in buying the video before it became public knowledge.
Ashleigh Banfield: I’ve heard this before. So it’s like catch and kill.
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: Catch and kill, that’s right.
Ashleigh Banfield: wow I guess you can’t reveal the person on this tape?
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: No, I can’t explain who he is. But Mr. Combs.
Ashleigh Banfield: High profile?
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: Mr. Combs is on the tape, and this other guy, I’m going to say, is taller than Mr. Combs.
Ashleigh Banfield: indeed? And have you seen it?
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: I have seen stills from the video.
Ashleigh Banfield: Okay. Can you verify it?
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: Me. It’s there, it’s real, and the other person in the video is very visible. There is no question that it is the person in the video, and I can say that the video is pornographic.
Ashleigh Banfield: Oh my goodness. well So you know he videos a lot of activities in his house, right? And it looks like there are a lot of hidden cameras too. Is that what he was talking about?
Ariel Mitchell-Kidd: yes already. This is actually in Atlanta’s house, the house that was in Atlanta at one point. It’s like the person didn’t see the video, so, to me, the person doesn’t know they’re being videoed. It doesn’t appear that he was an active participant in the video recording, as if he was secretly recorded.
WATCH:
Mitchell-Kidd’s allegations follow allegations made by Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, who has long suggested that Diddy recorded compromising footage of various famous celebrities and politicians during “freak” parties.
Allegation Deal, shown in The Art of Dialogue podcast, has stirred up more controversy, especially as Diddy faces charges related to racketeering and sex trafficking.
Deal hinted that Diddy’s arrest was just the tip of the iceberg, linking it to a wider investigation targeting corrupt politicians in New York City. They even implicated New York City Mayor Eric Adams, suggesting that the Southern District of New York had been investigating Diddy and his political ties for some time.
“They turned around, gave the keys to the city. All the mayors… People won’t put this together, but if you look at it… Mayor Adams and his relationship with Diddy brought the Southern District to start investigating Diddy for a civil lawsuit,” he said. Deal.
