Federal Judge Refuses Diddy's Bid for "Freak Off" Tapes

The heated legal battle over the controversial "Freak Off" tapes has hit another roadblock for Sean "Diddy" Combs. Despite his efforts to obtain copies of the explicit videos, a federal judge has sided with prosecutors, emphasizing the need to protect the privacy and safety of the alleged victims, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

In a recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs' request to modify a protective order restricting access to the footage was denied. The court expressed concerns over potential risks if the videos were released, leading them to reject Diddy's plea for full control over the evidence.

Prosecutors have been proactive in thwarting Combs' pursuit of electronic copies, fearing unauthorized duplication that could further harm the victims. While alternative viewing options were offered, Combs' legal team was urged to explore these avenues further and collaborate with prosecutors before seeking additional measures.

As Diddy awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, the court's decision presents yet another legal setback. His defense contends that unrestricted access to the videos is essential for challenging the government's allegations. However, Judge Subramanian stressed the need for a compelling argument from Combs' lawyers should they wish to revisit the issue.

With the tapes currently beyond Diddy's reach, the prosecution retains authority over the terms and conditions for reviewing the footage. As the trial date approaches in May 2025, the ongoing legal tussle over the "Freak Off" tapes underscores the complexities and challenges faced by both sides in this high-profile case.
