UMVA has learned that Daphne Joy has spoken out about the emotional turmoil she experienced after a leaked sex tape with Sean 'Diddy' Combs was shared online.
The model revealed that she had 'never consented' to being filmed and that the person in the video had attempted to blackmail her with it for money. The leaked video allegedly shows Joy engaging in intimate activities with Sly Diggler, a sex worker, as Combs watched.
Joy shared her side of the story, saying she had 'broke her own boundaries' to please Combs, with whom she had a romantic relationship from 2021 to 2024. She expressed deep emotional pain and regret, stating that she 'wanted to fulfil all his desires' and 'wanted my man at the time to be happy and satisfied.'
When the tape was leaked, Joy was contacted by an outlet seeking comment, but they decided not to publish over concerns about revenge porn. She described the experience as 'triggering and painful' and shared that she had fainted when first contacted about the tape.
Joy reflected on her relationship with Combs, saying she 'deeply loved him' but now realizes 'it was far from love.' She expressed a desire to tell her younger self that the relationship was abusive and not love.
Meanwhile, Joy's ex-partner, 50 Cent, reacted to the video on social media, joking about the situation and making comments about Combs and Joy's son Sire. The former couple, who dated from 2011 to 2012 and share a son, have a complicated history.
50 Cent had previously sought sole custody of Sire after Joy was named as a 'sex worker' in one of Combs' legal filings, which she denied. Joy had accused 50 Cent of being abusive, which he denied.
Joy emphasized her desire to move forward, saying she wishes things were different but can't turn back time. She hopes to put the experience behind her and focus on healing.
