(NewsNation) — Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, attorney for a new Sean “Diddy” Combs accuser, says she’s been contacted regarding the “sale of one of the Diddy tapes.”
Mitchell-Kidd would not reveal who was in the video but said Combs and someone “more high-profile” could be seen in the pornographic tape.
“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around, but one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video,” Mitchell-Kidd said Friday on “Banfield.” “I can tell the video was pornographic. This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem like the person isn’t looking into the video. To me, it doesn’t seem like that person knows they’re being videotaped.”

Mitchell-Kidd also revealed horrific details about an alleged rape that happened between Combs and one of her new clients in 2018. According to Mitchell-Kidd, her client did file a police report at the time.
“She reached out to me a few weeks ago. She called me and told me about her assault and her escape,” Mitchell-Kidd said. “She was at a friend’s house who had industry ties, and Diddy decided to come to the house.”
Mitchell-Kidd said her client learned that Combs was planning on sex trafficking her once he arrived.
“It led to her being served a drink. She started to feel woozy. Combs sexually assaulted her with an inanimate object. … And then directed another gentleman to sexually assault her while he watched and pleasured himself,” Mitchell-Kidd said.
Mitchell-Kidd said her client was able to escape, running to the streets. A neighbor reportedly witnessed the escape.

The federal investigation against Combs has turned up several disturbing allegations against the music mogul, who is currently sitting in a New York City jail awaiting his day in court.
The music producer was indicted last week on three felony charges after months of speculation surrounding a possible federal investigation that could be connected to a slew of civil lawsuits alleging abuse and sexual assault by multiple victims spanning over 30 years.
Since the indictment, several high-profile voices have spoken out against Combs, and another alleged victim has come forward, bringing the 11th lawsuit filed against him.
Who else could be charged in the Diddy investigation?
Following his arrest, Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, issued a statement asking the public to reserve judgment until all the facts are in and noting that Combs has cooperated with the investigation.
“He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal,” he said.
