A man who claims to have sex tapes from Diddy's "freak-offs" and the late Kim Porter's actual diary has met with a grand jury.
On Thursday, October 31, Courtney Burgess was spotted walking out of a courthouse after he testified in front of the Combs grand jury in the Southern District of New York. He responded to a subpoena after he claimed to once owned 11 flash drives containing eight sex tapes of eight celebrities allegedly engaged in sexual intercourse during Combs' parties. In an interview with NewsNation's Ashley Banfield, Burgess said all the subjects appeared to be intoxicated while "two to three" of them may have been minors.
According to his attorney Ariel Mitchell, Burgess was originally contacted by the Department of Homeland Security, which has been heavily involved with the case. They reportedly have evidence that can corroborate some of the allegations Burgess made. In past interviews, he claimed to have watched sex tapes involving Diddy and other celebrities. He also said he has the original manuscript for the late Kim Porter's book. In a conversation with TMZ after his testimony, Burgess said one of the flash drives contained the actual book Porter wrote before she passed away.
Mitchell said the book Burgess is the unedited version of the paperback edition that was released in August. Burgess said Porter gave him the flash drives with the manuscript as well as the incriminating footage in question. After excerpts from the edited edition went viral, Porter's children and her ex-husband Al B Sure! dismissed the book as a fake. The book was removed from Amazon as a result. However, Burgess maintains that he has the authentic version of her long-rumored diary.
Burgess was asked to hand over any flash drives, hard drives, storage devices, and other records he has about the case. He is scheduled to attend a hearing to determine exactly what evidence he needs to provide. As far as the book goes, Burgess and Mitchell are working with Amazon to publish it themselves.
Combs is awaiting trial in a jail cell in Brooklyn. He pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. His trial is set to begin on May 5, 2025.
