Diddy Grand Jury Interviews New Potential Witness Who Claims To Have Kim Porter’s Diary

Diddy‘s federal racketeering and sex trafficking case has taken yet another turn, as the grand jury has interviewed a man who claims to have physical evidence that could impact the case.

On Thursday (October 31), TMZ spoke with Courtney Burgess and his attorney Ariel Mitchell outside of the federal courthouse in New York City, just minutes after Burgess testified in a closed session.

According to Mitchell, Burgess was originally subpoenaed by the Department of Homeland Security. Sources told the outlet that “the subpoena from federal prosecutors asked Burgess to turn over all records, including thumb drives, hard drives, electronic storage devices, or devices containing videos and/or other files depicting Diddy.”

Burgess — who has reportedly done several interviews about his knowledge of Diddy’s more unsavory past — claims to be in possession of video footage from the disgraced Bad Boy mogul’s so-called “freak-offs,” as well as an unedited version of Diddy’s ex Kim Porter’s diary.

Following the initial hearing on Thursday, Burgess and Mitchell told a TMZ photographer that they were in route to another hearing, where a decision would be made as to what physical evidence he would need to turn over to the grand jury.

While this latest witness could prove to be a great asset to the prosecution in this case, Diddy also recently scored a minor victory in his attempt to be freed from jail as his bail appeal was put on hold while he awaits a new bail hearing in U.S. District Court.

On October 24, independent reporter Meghann Cuniff shared information on the evolving situation, around the same time that the request was granted despite the objection of prosecutors.

“Prosecutors have filed opposition to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ bail appeal with 2nd Circuit,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “In arguing that Judge Carter erred, Combs entirely ignores the serious and violent nature of the charges against him, and the strength of the evidence against him.”

In a second tweet, Cuniff added: “HOWEVER, Combs’ lawyers want the appeal put on hold while they pursue a new bail hearing in U.S. District Court.

“The renewed request is based on changed circumstances warranting a new bail hearing, which the district court is best suited to consider in the first instance.’”

A Diddy rape accuser has been forced to publicly reveal their identity or else their lawsuit against the Bad Boy Records founder will be dropped.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, an anonymous woman who claims Puffy sexually assaulted her 20 years ago has been told by a district court judge that she must use her real name if her lawsuit is to proceed.

Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that the anonymous woman, who filed her suit under the pseudonym of Jane Doe, has failed to prove why she needs to remain anonymous.

The woman has until November 13 to refile the lawsuit under her real identity or it will be tossed.
