A rumor has been making its way on the internet about The Shining's Jack Nicholson testifying at Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing federal trial. The rapper's trial began on May 5, 2025, and is being held at a Manhattan Federal court in New York. A new video by the YouTube channel Elite Stories claimed that Jack Nicholson was one of the witnesses who testified at Diddy's trial.
Editor's note: The channel and video mentioned in a previous version of this copy have both been removed from YouTube. However, a similar video of Diddy's trial was uploaded by another channel called Elite Stories.
This is an edited version of the original copy and cites information from Elite Stories' video titled "1 MINUTE AGO: Jack Nicholson Testifies In Court On Day 17 Of Diddy Trial."
The video description claims that Nicholson's testimony "stunned everyone in the courtroom."
"The iconic actor, famous for his powerful presence and unpredictable nature, shared a chilling memory from deep inside Diddy’s private world," the description adds.
The courtroom video has garnered over 1K views at the time of writing this article. Its description also notes that Nicholson reportedly participated in the rapper's "infamous group baths" along with other big names in Hollywood.
The Elite Stories' video also claims that Jack Nicholson described his encounters with Combs in "haunting detail", citing celebrity masks and secretive rituals.
However, in the multiple testimonies delivered at Diddy's ongoing s*x trafficking and racketeering trial, the term "group bath" hasn't been mentioned. Additionally, no prominent media publication, tabloid, or channel has published news of the actor testifying at Sean Combs' trial.
Elite Stories' video description also features a disclaimer that states that the content is "fictional and crafted solely for entertainment."
"Any resemblance to real events, individuals, or situations is purely coincidental and unintentional. These narratives are not intended to depict, reference, or represent any actual occurrences, persons, or entities," it reads.
The video's cover image is a picture of Jack Nicholson and Sean Combs in a bathtub with the text "f*cked me inside and out" written at the bottom. The image appears to have been AI-generated, given that no such pictorial representation of Nicholson and Combs exists on the internet except for the video.
Hence, Elite Stories' video describing Jack Nicholson's testimony at the rapper's trial is fake and is based on unverified and exaggerated claims.
Elite Stories video about Jack Nicholson testifying at Diddy's s*x trafficking trial is fake
Elite Stories' uploaded a 17-minute and 37-second-long video about the A Few Good Men actor's alleged testimony at Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial. The video's title and descriptions claimed that the video had Nicholson's testimony about the rapper.
As per the video, Nicholson reportedly named several A-list actors when recalling Sean Combs' parties. He mentioned other names like Tom Hanks, Jamie Foxx, Al Pacino, and Pharrell.
Then, he allegedly described "trust baths", claiming that these were late-night, invitation-only events hosted by Diddy inside "an enormous marble bath" inside his Beverly Hills estate. Nicholson allegedly described the event as 20 men talking to each other with cigars in their hands, stating it was a symbol of openness and breaking their egos.
The video cites Jack Nicholson's testimony, mentioning that the men were naked and that no phones or cameras were allowed during the group baths.
In the alleged testimony, Nicholson recalled that the first time he realized something was wrong was when he saw Tom Hanks leaving Diddy's party early, a rare phenomenon.
Black Is Black's account of Jack Nicholson's alleged testimony at Sean Combs' trial described that one of the group baths turned into a s*xual encounter. According to the supposed testimony, during that group bath, the men began to engage with each other physically as if it were scripted.
The YouTube video illustrated the actor's apparent testimony with caricatures and pictures of the rapper and Nicholson separately at multiple events. However, none of the allegations mentioned in the video have been backed by credible media sources.
It is worth noting that Elite Stories has previously uploaded similar videos without verified information including a video of Johnny Depp allegedly testifying at the trial.

Additionally, the Elite Stories channel description features a disclaimer advising viewer discretion. It states that all the content on the channel was "purely fictional and created for entertainment purposes only."
"Any similarities to real-life events are purely coincidental. Viewer discretion is advised," it reads.
Several such videos delivering an altered and false description of celebrities testifying at Diddy's trial have been flagged and debunked by fact-checking websites like Snopes.
This is not the first time a clickbait concerning Jack Nicholson and Combs has made the rounds. In October 2024, rumors of authorities discovering a tunnel connecting Sean Combs' and Nicholson's homes circulated online via platforms like Reddit.
However, there wasn't any truth to that claim either, similar to the one about Nicholson's testimony at Combs' ongoing trial.
