The male celebrity involved in the alleged Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex tape being shopped around is reportedly “horrified” over the footage possibly being released.
A source told The Post on Friday that the situation has been a “total nightmare” and “triggering” for the individual, who has yet to be identified.
“It feels like a betrayal and a violation, and it’s causing a lot of issues,” the insider, a member of the celeb’s inner circle, said of the clip being shopped around to media outlets.

“It brings up some really disturbing and bad memories,” they continued. “He feels like he was victimized years ago and is now being victimized yet again. If this footage gets out, it will follow him for life. It will be on the internet forever.”
Another source alleged that the star is “praying that this all goes away” in the meantime.
“There’s not much he can do about it, if there was a video taken without his knowledge that somehow gets out,” the second insider noted, claiming the A-lister is “trying to ignore” the threat.

The Post reached out to Combs’ rep for comment — as well as the mystery celeb’s spokesperson — but has yet to hear back.
The outlet added that it remains unclear whether the celebrity was a victim of a sex crime or an adult at the time the video was recorded.
The footage, notably, depicts a man who appears to be Combs having s*x with a younger male, who appears to be the A-lister in question.
The individual is “praying” for the situation. A Department of Homeland Security officer told the outlet that “recognizable names” are in footage from Combs’ infamous sex parties.REUTERS

“There are recognizable names,” the agent said.
While the officer would not “confirm any of their identities,” they did confirm that “it’s more than just that one.”
Attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, who has allegedly seen “stills” of the clip being shopped around, claimed to NewsNation that the other person is “more high-profile than Mr. Combs.”
She alleged, “I can verify that it exists. That it’s real and that the other person in the video is very visible. There’s no question of if it’s that person in the video.”
Combs’ team, however, said that Mitchell-Kidd’s comments came from a desire “for publicity and attention.”
Combs was taken into custody in September and hit with racketeering, prostitution and sex trafficking charges.
