Courtney Burgess and Diddy Tapes: Who is she and how is she related to Sean Combs? | World News

Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is embroiled in an escalating legal battle involving witnesses Courtney Burgess He is alleged to have explosive evidence, including so-called “sex tapes” involving Combs and several of his famous friends. Burgess, who gave numerous interviews on the subject, became the focus of the investigation, prompting Combs’ legal team to request a gag order to prevent witnesses and their attorneys from testifying out of court.
Diddy’s legal representatives are urging the court to block further statements that could harm the case, arguing that Burgess’ public allegations are “false and defamatory.” But Burgess and his attorney, Ariel Mitchell, argue that the contents of these alleged tapes reveal Combs’ longstanding troubling behavior.
Shocking allegations in tapes about minors
In an appearance on Michael Cox’s True Crime podcast, Burgess claimed to have flash drives containing at least eight “sex tapes” featuring high-profile people connected to Combs. He also claimed that some tapes contained “minors”; this claim has since sparked widespread concern. According to Burgess, the tapes were given to him by Combs’ former partner Kim Porter before his death, indicating that she intended the contents to be used as evidence against Combs.
Mitchell said the tapes “reveal the story of Diddy’s perverted activities over the past 30 years.” Burgess explained that there were two well-known names from the entertainment industry in the alleged recordings, one of which was Usher. Burgess hinted that another participant could be Justin Bieber, judging by the appearance of younger facial features without the specific tattoos associated with Bieber’s later image. Burgess claims that the recording captures Usher and Bieber at an early age, describing them as “definitely young” at the time.
‘Lost words’ book allegedly details abuse
Burgess also claims to have an unedited version of Porter’s alleged memoir, Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey to Justice from the Other Side. The book, quietly released in paperback on Amazon, allegedly details Porter’s relationship with Combs, describing physical abuse, sexual coercion and other forms of violence. Burgess claimed in the podcast interview that the memoirs contained vivid descriptions, such as how Porter “hated him” and claimed he was involved in inappropriate acts with “young boys”.
Sales of the memoir reportedly increased following news that Combs had been arrested on multiple charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. The book has since become a matter of public interest, as it purports to document many disturbing encounters during Porter’s time with Combs, as well as allegations of abuse and exploitation.
Defense questions credibility and calls for speech ban
Combs’ criminal defense attorney, Mark Geragos, publicly questioned the credibility of these allegations and suggested that prosecutors may be using Burgess’ testimony as a tactic in their case against Combs. “I suspect prosecutors took him (Burgess) before the grand jury because I don’t think anyone was buying what he was selling,” Geragos said in a recent interview.
In light of the allegations, Combs’ legal team argues that the court should impose a gag order to prevent potentially biased or unsubstantiated information from reaching the public. They argue that Burgess’ recent appearances and statements to the media have tainted the court of public opinion and made Combs appear guilty ahead of the trial.

He is accused of racketeering, sex trafficking and other serious charges, each on his own. rejected.
