Daphne Joy is trending on social media platforms after a video surfaced of her, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, and an alleged male escort engaging in a sexual act. Combs and the escort, believed to be Sly Diggler, haven’t addressed the viral tape. Nevertheless, Daphne briefly broke her silence in a now-deleted statement.

Daphne Joy Says She Did Not Consent To Being Filmed, Describes Pain Of Reliving Her “Abuse”
As mentioned, the intimate tape shows Joy, Diddy and Sly Digger nude and involved sexually. It’s unclear who first leaked it or why. Amid the tape going viral, DJ Vlad confirmed its validity, revealing a previous interview with Sly.
“I deeply loved him and I believed he loved me too…It’s still so painful for me to process the tough reality and truth of that relationship…but as time passes and in my quiet moments…I realize that it was removed from love,” Joy wrote.
Daphne clarified that she “never consented” to filming the now-viral intimate tape. She alleged that “the person within the video” previously blackmailed her, requesting money and threatening to leak the footage. She didn’t make clear whether “the person” she referred to was Diddy or the alleged male escort, Sly Diggler. Daphne Joy said the person eventually sold the tape to “an enormous media outlet,” who reached out to her for comment on it. After informing them that the tape was “revenge porn and an extortion scheme,” the media company allegedly backed off. “…I do know they’re probably reading this and I need to say thanks for doing the correct thing…regardless that years later..it’s come back to haunt me again,” she wrote.
Moreover, Daphne Joy admitted that it took her “all day to seek out the courage to rewatch [her] abuse.” She said watching the intimate video was triggering and painful, citing the “inner turmoil and pressures” she felt in such moments.
“I used to be not and was never in my right mind throughout everything of that relationship…seeing myself so lost is excruciating. I just wish to hold that girl in that room and get her out of there…and tell her that wasn’t love and she or he didn’t need to do that for love. My heart is breaking as I type this. I wish so many things were different but I can’t take back the hands of time.”

Is “Jane” Daphne? The Web Seems To Think So
This intimate tape comes nearly a yr after “Jane,” an ex-girlfriend of Combs, began testimony against him on June 5, 2025. In the course of the trial, the daddy of Daphne Joy’s son, social media users and bloggers have speculated that she was the anonymous witness often called “Jane.” Nevertheless, neither Daphne nor her legal team has ever confirmed whether she was the witness in query.
On the stand, “Jane” described a romantic relationship that began in 2021. Ultimately, she became financially depending on him, including the funding of her living space. She shared that their intimate encounters often involved other men and “hotel nights,” otherwise often called “freak-offs,” and heavy drug consumption, supplemented by Diddy. One encounter involved sexual acts with three men back-to-back and one other encounter in 2022 allegedly lasted three and a half days, per “Jane.” At first, she said, she gave subtle clues that she didn’t wish to participate before later voicing it. One text she sent Combs was read in court and said:
“I’m so way more than being left at nighttime of a hotel room. My heart is breaking. I don’t wish to play this role in your life anymore. It’s dark, sleazy and makes me feel disgusted with myself. It’s the one reason you will have me around and why you pay for my house. I don’t wish to feel obligated to perform and fear losing you…I just wish to talk like adults and figure where we go from here.”
Again, Daphne Joy has never publicly identified herself because the witness “Jane” or addressed the speculations.
Daphne Joy Previously Called Diddy Her “Favorite Person”
Back in November 2022, Joy turned heads when she publicly attached herself to Diddy. Around this time, he was openly kicking it with Yung Miami, a.k.a. his Shawty Wop. Especially at his 53rd birthday bash. While he was partying with Caresha and thanking her for her love, Daphne Joy took to the web with birthday tributes. She shared one photo of them, with Combs facing away from the camera and captioned it, “Joyful Birthday to my favorite person @diddy.” Then, in one other post on Instagram Stories, she shared a photograph of her and Combs within the ocean with the caption, “Blessed.”
