The Epstein Chronicles

Sean “Diddy” Combs now faces heightened jeopardy in his federal criminal trial after prosecutors introduced evidence that he possessed an AR‑15-style firearm with an obliterated serial number. Under federal law, merely possessing a firearm with a defaced serial qualifies as a serious gun offense, and is often seen as nearly indisputable, since the prosecution must only show that the weapon exists and the serial was removed.   This piece of evidence not only adds a standalone weapons charge but also bolsters the government’s RICO (racketeering) case, as it ties directly to allegations that Combs’ so-called “enterprise” used threats, weapons, and violence (inc...

Sara Rivers, formerly known as Sara Stokes from MTV’s Making the Band 2 and a member of Da Band, filed a $60 million lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs alleging a pattern of sexual harassment, battery, psychological abuse, and professional sabotage. Rivers claims that Combs subjected her to degrading treatment throughout her time on the reality series and beyond, including groping her without consent, making sexually explicit comments, and mocking her bulimia. She further alleges that Combs controlled contestants' food, sleep, and movement, orchestrated humiliating stunts like the infamous "cheesecake walk," and forced her into uncompensated labor under exploitative conditions. According to th...

​Jane Doe, the woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her in 2000 when she was 13 years old, has filed a motion to dismiss the defamation lawsuit that the rapper filed against her. Jay-Z's lawsuit, filed in March 2025, alleges that Doe and her attorneys knowingly made false and malicious claims in an attempt to extort him, resulting in reputational harm and financial losses exceeding $20 million. In her motion, filed on April 22, Doe argues that her allegations, made in court documents and media interviews, are protected under California law and cannot form the basis for a defamation claim. She also contends that Jay-Z's cl...

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal contract used to protect sensitive and confidential information shared between parties. It creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets.

In the context of relationships, particularly those involving rich and famous individuals, NDAs are often used to maintain privacy and confidentiality. When celebrities or wealthy individuals engage in personal relationships, they may use NDAs to prevent their partners from disclosing any details of the relationship, including intimate details, personal conversations, financial information, or other sensitive matters.

The NDA...

In the case of United States v. Sean Combs (1:24-cr-00542-AS), Judge Arun Subramanian issued an opinion and order denying the defendant's motion for discovery and an evidentiary hearing. Sean Combs had alleged that the government improperly leaked information about the case and sought further investigation into these claims. Specifically, the motion (Dkt. 30) called for disclosure of relevant materials and a formal hearing to address the purported leaks.

Judge Subramanian, however, found no sufficient evidence to warrant granting the motion. The ruling emphasized that the defendant failed to meet the legal threshold required to demonstrate a credible basis...

In the case Doe v. Combs et al., No. 23-cv-10628 (JGLC), defendant Harve Pierre has filed an answer to the amended complaint, denying the allegations against him and asserting several affirmative defenses. Pierre contends that the claims are barred by statutes of limitations, lack of personal jurisdiction, and failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. He also argues that any actions taken were without malice or intent to harm, and that he did not engage in the alleged conduct. Pierre reserves the right to amend his defenses as the case progresses.

In a letter submitted in United States v. Combs, 24-cr-542 (AS), the defense provides additional legal support for its objection to the admission of Government Exhibit GX A-629-A. The prosecution introduced the exhibit on the basis that it contained statements made by Mr. Combs’s head of security, known as “Uncle Pauly,” and argued they were admissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(2)(D), which allows for the admission of statements made by an agent or employee concerning a matter within the scope of that relationship. However, during proceedings, the Court questioned whether the statements qualified under that rule, prompt...

In a letter to Judge Subramanian regarding United States v. Combs, the defense addressed the government’s intent to introduce out-of-court statements during Casandra Ventura’s (Cassie’s) testimony under Rule 801. Following the Court’s directive from the April 25, 2025 pre-trial conference, both sides met and conferred on the matter. The government provided the defense with a chart outlining the statements it wishes to admit along with its proposed legal justifications. In turn, the defense submitted detailed objections to certain statements, which they attached as Exhibit A for the Court’s review.

Additionally, the defense used the letter to elaborate...

After lunch on June 13th, 2025, Jonathan Perez resumed his testimony in the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, offering damning details that reinforced the government’s racketeering and sex trafficking allegations. Perez, a former Combs security employee turned cooperating witness, testified about a specific 2016 incident in Miami where he claimed he witnessed Combs physically assault a woman at a private party and later direct staff to “clean it up” and “get her quiet.” He stated that money was exchanged afterward and that Combs instructed him never to speak of the incident. The prosecution used Perez’s recollection to suggest a pattern of coe...

First, the morning opened with testimony from a Homeland Security Investigations agent, Andre Lamon. He told the jury that during the March 2024 raid on Combs’s Los Angeles home, agents located a “security room” where firearms, armor-piercing ammunition, and sixteen boxes of AstroGlide lubricant—alongside hundreds of bottles of baby oil—were stored. When questioned by defense attorney Marc Agnifilo, he confirmed this was the only trafficking case in which he had seized lubricant in such quantities.   The agent clarified that none of the weapons were scattered around the mansion—they were all contained within that secure area .

Combs' legal team outlines the types of interactions he is allowed to engage in, ensuring compliance with the Court's directives while upholding his First and Sixth Amendment rights.

Photographer Selma Fonseca, who attended numerous parties hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs, recently opened up about the shocking and controversial experiences at these events. Fonseca revealed that Diddy often served food and drinks laced with drugs at his notorious gatherings, which were highly sexualized and featured scantily clad women, wild behavior, and a party atmosphere that intensified after dark. She described the events as "opulent" but also "shocking," with many guests engaging in explicit activities. Fonseca even mentioned personally receiving a drink from Diddy that made her feel unusually euphoric, which she suspected was drugged.

The photographer emphasized...

Prosecutors in the case against Sean "Diddy" Combs have expressed concerns about revealing the identities of anonymous accusers, citing serious issues of witness safety and potential obstruction. They argue that early disclosure of these identities could expose witnesses to intimidation or harm, especially given Combs' influence and the nature of the allegations. This stance is in response to Combs' defense team's request for the accusers' names to prepare for trial, which prosecutors contend is premature and could jeopardize the integrity of the proceedings.

Additionally, prosecutors emphasize that disclosing accusers' identities at this stage is tantamount to providing an...

Singer Good Fridae has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs regarding an event she attended at the age of 16. Fridae claimed she met Diddy at a Toronto autograph signing in 1999, where he invited her and a friend to one of his infamous "freak off" parties. Despite informing Diddy that they were underage, Diddy allegedly dismissed the concern, stating that he didn’t check IDs at his parties. At the hotel event, Fridae recalled seeing heavy drug use, including ecstasy and cocaine, and sexual activities involving dancers and hired individuals. Although she was not involved, the scene deeply disturbed her, es...

In a recent interview, aspiring singer-songwriter Tanea Wallace recounted her experience at a 2018 party hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs, which she described as unsettling and traumatic. She claimed that upon arrival, guests were required to surrender their phones, and the atmosphere was marked by loud music and individuals engaging in various explicit activities. Wallace alleged that certain attendees, including herself, were invited to a more exclusive area of the party, where she observed behavior that left her feeling uncomfortable and concerned for her safety.

Wallace further described seeing individuals she referred to as "little people" dressed provocatively, which...

​In the case of Jane Doe v. Sean Combs et al. (Civ. No. 1:24-cv-08054-MKV), Defendant Marriott International, Inc. has submitted a reply memorandum in further support of its motion to dismiss the complaint. Marriott argues that the plaintiff's allegations fail to establish a legal basis for holding the company liable for the alleged actions of the co-defendants. They contend that the complaint lacks specific factual assertions linking Marriott to any wrongful conduct and that mere association with other defendants does not suffice to state a claim.

Furthermore, Marriott emphasizes that the plaintiff's claims against it are speculative an...

The defense submitted a letter to Judge Subramanian in response to a government filing made early that morning regarding the anticipated testimony of Ms. Bongolan. The defense argues that the government is making a last-ditch effort to admit evidence that is both inadmissible and irrelevant hearsay. They assert that this attempt amounts to a "second bite at the apple," seeking to reintroduce material that should not be allowed under the rules of evidence.

Additionally, the defense contends that the government's letter is not only legally baseless but also misleading in its presentation of both the facts and applicable...

Chelsea Lovelace alleges in her civil suit that during her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, he subjected her to repeated acts of coercion, abuse, and sexual assault. According to the complaint, Combs lured her into traveling to see him, administered drugs to her without her consent, and physically assaulted her—including slapping her during violent encounters. Lovelace further claims that she became pregnant during this period and that Combs pressured her into having an abortion; she ultimately suffered a miscarriage. She also alleges that Combs systematically isolated her from friends and family, manipulated her emotionally, and used financial control to ke...

Following the midday recess, Jane resumed her testimony amid visible emotional strain. Under cross‑examination, she recounted receiving a distressing voice note from Combs during one of their “hotel nights,” which she described as coercive, drug‑fueled sexual encounters involving multiple men—what the defense refers to as “freak‑offs.” In the clip, Combs told her to “move on” and end their relationship, prompting her to reveal on the stand that the dynamic had grown increasingly unhealthy by late 2023. She tearfully admitted that although she still harbors love for him, the orchestrated group sex sessions had become a source of deep emotional pain...

Sean Combs’s legal team fired back at federal prosecutors in a sharply worded letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, criticizing the government for filing a legal brief well past the court’s established deadline—at nearly 1:00 a.m. The defense argued they had insufficient time to fully respond and would, for now, address only the government’s claims regarding the testimony of musician Scott Mescudi (known as Kid Cudi) and prospective witness Deonte Nash. They further requested that the court withhold any ruling related to another witness, identified as Mia, until they could provide either an oral or written rebuttal later th...

She recounted meeting Diddy in 2001 after being "gifted" to him by a music executive following a night of partying. Ovesen described the encounter as something she entered with awareness, choosing to document her experiences within the entertainment industry.

Kanye West, also known as Ye, has been accused of evading legal proceedings in the United States, particularly concerning a lawsuit filed by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. Pisciotta alleges that West drugged and sexually assaulted her during a studio session co-hosted with Sean "Diddy" Combs in 2021.

On October 28, 2024, federal authorities conducted an interagency operation at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. The raid, involving the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department's Inspector General's office, and other law enforcement agencies, was aimed at improving safety and security within the facility. Officials emphasized that the raid was pre-planned and not in response to an immediate threat, reflecting broader concerns about the overall management of the detention center.

The MDC has faced criticism due to reports of poor conditions, contraband smuggling, and violent incidents within the facility, some allegedly facilitated by staff members. Recently...

Newly resurfaced photos capturing a heated exchange between Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jennifer Lopez at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty have drawn significant attention amid fresh allegations against Combs. The images show Combs holding a champagne bottle and engaging with guests at the Lotus nightclub, where the pair were reportedly seen in a tense confrontation.

On June 11, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey addressed the court privately, stating that the prosecution had uncovered what it believed to be a serious issue with Juror No. 6, which they described as a “lack of candor.” The government asserted that the juror had failed to be fully honest during the jury selection process and had possibly withheld important information that should have been disclosed to the court. Comey stressed that the prosecution was very reluctant to raise this concern but felt obligated to bring it forward after verifying the issue through further review.

Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro resp...

In this letter to Judge Subramanian in United States v. Combs, the defense opposes the government’s request to recall expert witness Dr. Dawn Hughes for a second appearance during its case-in-chief. The defense argues that it relied on the Court’s original framework—reinforced in both the opening jury instructions and pretrial rulings—that each witness would testify only once. They further contend that recalling Dr. Hughes after her cross-examination would be unfair and prejudicial, as the defense structured its questioning with the understanding that it would be their sole opportunity to challenge her testimony during the government’s presentati...

In the case of United States v. Combs (24-cr-542), Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has filed a reply memorandum to bolster their renewed motion for bail. They argue that new evidence undermines the prosecution's case, including claims that video evidence from 2016 depicts consensual interaction, contrary to the government's allegations of abuse. The defense contends that these developments diminish the justification for Combs' continued detention.

Additionally, the defense addresses concerns about potential witness tampering and flight risk. They propose stringent bail conditions, such as home confinement with electronic monitoring and a substantial financial bond, to mitigate these risks. Combs...

In McKinney v. Combs et al., Case No. 24-CV-03931, defendants Sean Combs, along with several associated entities including Bad Boy Entertainment LLC, Sean John Clothing LLC, and Daddy’s House Recordings, Inc., submitted a letter to Judge Buchwald outlining their motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s Amended Complaint.
