Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs files to speed up 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 media that he was in possession of some of the music mogul’s. alleged sex tapes.

The “Act Bad” rapper’s attorneys, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, wrote to the judge on Sunday that the statements made by certain individuals “undermine 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 the out-of-court statements of potential witnesses and their counsel … which the government opposed. Mr. Combs’ response is due November 8, 2024,” the letter obtained by Page 6 reads.

“However, given the imminent harm of certain out-of-court statements relating to the ongoing grand jury proceedings, we request that the court immediately restrict the out-of-court statements of potential witnesses and their attorneys for the duration of the trial.”

The attorneys then included several articles about Courtney Burgess, a man who testified before a grand jury 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 court immediately after his apparent testimony — making false and outrageous claims, including that the witness has videos of Mr. Combs engaging in sexual assault on celebrities and minors,” the letter continued.

Lawyers said Burgess “was cited after making public statements on social media that he possessed videos of celebrities, including minors, being sexually assaulted.”

“These stories spread quickly through the media and created the impression that such videos exist, which is false, and that the government actually credits its sensational claims, which is deeply prejudicial,” the lawyers said in the letter.

Combs, 55, and his legal team are asking the judge for an injunction “to bar potential witnesses and their attorneys from speaking.”

Prosecutors had previously opposed the gag order, in part because plaintiffs in civil suits against father of seven are outside the jurisdiction of the criminal court.
