Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs files to expedite gag order, claims eyewitness is lying about alleged sex tapes

Sean “Diddy” Combs filed to expedite a gag order motion after a witness told the press he was in possession of some of the music mogul’s alleged sex tapes.

Tthe “Act Bad” rapper’s attorneys, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, wrote to the judge on Sunday that statements made by certain individuals are “undermining Mr. Combs’ right to a fair trial and the integrity of the grand jury proceedings.”

“As the Court is aware, Mr. Combs filed a motion to restrict extrajudicial statements by potential witnesses and their counsel … which the government has opposed. Mr. Combs’s reply is due on November 8, 2024,” the letter obtained by Page Six read.

“However, given the imminent harm of certain extrajudicial statements relating to the ongoing grand jury proceedings, we request that the court immediately restrain extrajudicial statements by potential witnesses and their counsel during the pendency of the motion.”

The attorneys then included several articles about Courtney Burgess, a man who testified before the Grand Jury on Thursday about his possession of Combs’ alleged sex tapes.

“Over the past several days, a grand jury witness and his attorney have given multiple interviews – including outside the courthouse immediately following his apparent grand jury testimony – making false and outrageous claims, including that the witness possesses videos of Mr. Combs involved in the sexual assault of celebrities and minors,” the letter continued.

The lawyers said Burgess “was subpoenaed after he made public statements on social media that he possessed videos of celebrities, including minors, being sexually assaulted.”

“These stories have spread rapidly through the media and created the impression that such videos exist, which is false, and that the government is actually crediting his sensational claims, which is profoundly prejudicial,” the attorneys said in the letter.

Combs, 55, and his legal team are asking the judge for a court order “restraining the speech of potential witnesses and their counsel.”

Prosecutors previously objected to the gag order, partly because plaintiffs in civil litigation against the dad of seven are outside the scope of the criminal court.
