Diddy’s Ex Girlfriend Pleads For His Release

An ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs is urging the judge to release the music mogul on bail while he awaits his October sentencing.

Virginia Huynh, who identified herself as Victim 3 in the federal government’s indictment against Combs, wrote in a letter submitted to the judge this weekend that she has known the artist for many years in both a personal and professional capacity.

She wrote that while their relationship had many ups and downs, Combs always tried to become a better person.

“By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior,” she wrote. “To my knowledge, he has not been violent for many years, and he has been committed to being a father first.”

Combs was acquitted last month of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, but he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Last week, Combs’ attorneys filed a motion asking the judge to release him on $50 million bond before his October sentencing hearing.

Combs has been in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his September arrest and has been denied release multiple times.

Huynh’s letter asks the judge to consider letting Combs out on bond until October. She wrote that she does not view Combs as a danger to her or the community, and said he should be released because he has children who depend on him for financial and emotional support.

“I want to assure the Court that if released, I believe Mr. Combs will adhere to all conditions imposed and will not jeopardize his freedom or the well-being of his family,” Huynh wrote.

In the indictment against Combs, prosecutors said Combs used his “power and prestige” to intimidate and threaten women, often while he was in a romantic relationship with them.

“On multiple occasions, Combs threw both objects and people, as well as hit, dragged, choked and shoved others,” the indictment read. “On one occasion, Combs dangled a victim over an apartment balcony.”
