“There’s a fine line between fact and fiction,” as the old saying goes, and nowhere is this more evident than in today’s wildfire spread of rumors. Recently, a viral video claimed that Eddie Murphy testified at P Diddy’s federal trial in Manhattan.
Murphy, a legend in Hollywood as an actor, comedian, and singer, has never appeared in court for this case, nor has he ever blamed Sean Combs for any career decisions. Despite the explosive claims reportedly posted by Elite Vault’s YouTube channel on June 1, 2025, the truth is far more grounded.
Debunked: Eddie Murphy did not testify against Diddy in viral fake video
On June 1, 2025, the Elite Vault channel uploaded a video titled “Eddie Murphy Testifies, ‘I Left Hollywood Because of Diddy’…” Although the video has now been taken down, another website, Celebrity Lifestyle & Moments, has re-shared it. The description amplified the drama, alleging Eddie Murphy’s emotional testimony had shaken the courtroom.
Garnering nearly 4.5k views quickly, the clip appeared credible to some, tapping into the public’s fascination with high-profile trials and celebrity drama. According to the video description:
In a stunning courtroom moment, Eddie Murphy finally reveals the real reason he stepped away from Hollywood—and it all points back to Diddy. His emotional testimony has left everyone shocked.
Several YouTube channels have contributed to this false narrative by posting similar fabricated videos. Fact-checkers have utilized AI detection tools to expose inconsistencies in the scripts and voiceovers, highlighting the dangers of AI-generated misinformation. Note that Murphy did not testify in Diddy’s trial. The claim is a fabrication spread through misleading online content.
Contrary to the rumor, he remains actively engaged in the industry, with no evidence connecting him to Combs’ legal troubles.
P Diddy trail: Judge’s warning, new witness, and the Daphne Joy connection
On June 5, 2025, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian made it clear to Sean Combs during the s*x crimes trial in Manhattan, warning that if his conduct didn’t shape up, he’d be shown the door without a second thought.
Meanwhile, in the ongoing federal trial, a new witness emerged known only by the pseudonym ‘Jane’. Reports suggest that she was romantically involved with Combs from 2021 up until 2024. While her real identity remains a closely guarded secret, whispers online have pointed to Daphne Joy as the most likely woman behind the curtain.
During her testimony, Jane let slip a key detail: her child’s father had a rocky past with P Diddy. Many took this as a subtle nod to the long-standing feud between Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson and Puff Daddy.
Social media sleuths connected the dots, matching up Jane’s alleged timeline with Diddy against Joy’s known associations, stoking the fires of speculation even higher.
While there’s no concrete proof tying Joy to Jane, the puzzle pieces seem to click together a bit too perfectly for most to brush aside. Is she really the mysterious woman at the heart of this tangled story? Only time will tell.
