Daphne Joy Addresses Leaked Sextape in Since-Deleted Statement

Daphne Joy is speaking out after an alleged sex tape reportedly involving herself, hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, and adult actor Sly Digger surfaced online, sparking widespread discussion across social media. In a lengthy statement shared to her Instagram Story on Monday, June 1, the model and entrepreneur, who shares a son with 50 Cent, described the experience as deeply traumatic and alleged that she was recorded without her consent during a past relationship.

Although Joy did not identify anyone by name, she reflected on what she characterized as an emotionally damaging chapter of her life, claiming she ignored her own boundaries in an effort to please someone she loved. “Everybody plays the fool sometime, and I have been the biggest fool,” she wrote. “I just wanted my man at the time to be happy and satisfied… I wanted to fulfill all his desires… even if that meant breaking my own boundaries.”

Addressing the Allegations

Joy asserted that she never consented to being filmed and later became the target of an extortion attempt. “The recent leak was a tape I never consented to being filmed on,” Joy wrote, alleging that an individual demanded money in exchange for keeping the footage private. According to Joy, the tape was later sold to a major media outlet, which ultimately chose not to publish the material after determining it was connected to revenge porn and an extortion scheme.

“The media outlet called me one day and said they had the tape,” she recalled. “It was the first time I ever fainted in my life.” Joy also described rewatching the footage after its recent circulation online, calling the experience “triggering and painful.” She said viewing the video forced her to confront what she described as years of emotional turmoil and abuse.

The statement concluded on a note of healing and self-discovery. “I am precious, I am special, I am worthy,” Joy wrote. “This is the first time that I have ever felt a part of my own body and that my body belongs to me.” Her comments arrived amid viral attention surrounding the alleged video and after public reactions from 50 Cent, who referenced the controversy in a series of social media posts over the weekend.
