The male A-list celebrity who is the subject of an alleged sex tape with Sean “Diddy” Combs is “horrified” that the footage is being sold to media outlets, two members of the star’s inner circle told The Post.
“It’s triggering,” said one of the insiders. “It feels like a betrayal and a violation, and it’s causing a lot of problems. It brings up some really disturbing and bad memories.
More than one person is selling the revealing footage, which shows a man who appears to be Combs having sex with a younger man who appears to be an A-lister. The faces of both are clearly visible in the footage.
“It’s a complete nightmare,” the insider said. “He feels as if he was victimized years ago and is now being victimized again. If this footage comes out it will haunt him for the rest of his life. It will always be on the Internet.”
A second source close to the celebrity told The Post that he is “trying to ignore” the conversation about the video.
“There’s not much he can do about it if a video was taken without his knowledge that somehow gets out,” the source said. “So he can just pray. He is praying that this all goes away.”
At least one person selling the CD tape hasn’t turned it over to the feds.
Representatives and attorneys for Combs and the young celebrity did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

“I can verify that it exists. It is real and the second person is clearly visible in the video,” he claimed. “There’s no question that’s the person in the video.”
In response to Michelle-Kidd’s statements, Diddy’s team flatly denied having knowledge of the video and said she wanted “publicity and attention”.
On Tuesday, lawyers announced that more than 100 victims — including a male who was 9 years old at the time — are expected to file a lawsuit against Combs for alleged sexual assault and exploitation.
“I want to focus on the age of these victims,” said Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee. “When we talk about the ages of these victims when this conduct occurred, it’s shocking.”
