Burgess detailed how the tapes allegedly feature six men and two women, and all appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, raising concerns about whether they could have consented to the acts recorded. Burgess stated that many of these recordings took place in places one would expect privacy, such as bathrooms. Although he did not directly witness the placement of hidden cameras, Burgess said he became convinced that cameras were positioned discreetly, capturing people without their knowledge. “You could tell,” he said, suggesting an intentional setup to record individuals unaware and vulnerable.
In a separate allegation, Burgess revealed the contents of another item on the flash drives—a 54-page manuscript he claims is based on private diaries from Kim Porter, Combs’ late ex-partner. Burgess says the manuscript was completed by a woman, likely a confidante of Porter’s, who wrote it at Porter’s request. Porter reportedly expressed concern about her safety, and Burgess claims she asked the woman to make the manuscript public if anything ever happened to her. He recalls, “Kim made me promise that if something happened to her, I would make sure this book became public.” The manuscript, according to Burgess, is written in a narrative format that includes detailed dialogue, suggesting that Porter had firsthand concerns about her relationship with Combs.
When Burgess’s home was visited by federal authorities, it initially appeared to be a “raid,” but his legal counsel later clarified that no search or arrest warrants were issued. Instead, federal marshals arrived at multiple residences to serve subpoenas, a standard procedure for cases involving multi-location subpoenas. Burgess’s attorney explained that authorities sought information based on statements he made in previous interviews, rather than because of any formal charges or active search warrants.
Beyond the videos and manuscripts, Burgess shared additional insights into the material on the flash drives. He reported that each of the eight celebrities featured appeared intoxicated or under the influence, adding a troubling layer to the evidence. He said he could not confirm whether they were knowingly participating or fully aware of the recordings, but he strongly suggested that they were exploited. “All of them were victimized,” he said, noting that none seemed to be in control of the situation.
Among the eight, Burgess stated that two to three celebrities appeared to be underage. This allegation adds a further layer of legal concern to the case, with implications for both Combs and others potentially involved. When questioned, Burgess hesitated to make definitive claims but implied that the individuals featured on the tapes were likely unaware of the recording, possibly manipulated into compromising situations.
Burgess’s statements have sent shockwaves through the industry, prompting a renewed call for accountability and investigations. The details surrounding Combs and the others on these tapes leave many questions about how far the influence of power and fame extends into personal privacy and abuse. In addition to the videos, Burgess’s account of Porter’s manuscript heightens the drama, offering a potential exposé of Porter’s relationship with Combs and her concerns about her safety before her tragic passing.
As the public awaits further information, the unfolding case continues to raise questions about the dark undercurrents of the entertainment industry. With each revelation, the case against Combs widens in scope, shedding light on potentially widespread misconduct and abuse of power. While Burgess’s testimony offers new insight, it also hints at a far-reaching network of complicity that could draw in figures beyond Combs, amplifying the potential impact of this case on Hollywood as a whole.
