Sean "Diddy" Combs recently got a special visit from his mom and two children while he awaits trial at a jail in New York City.
According to a report TMZ published on Wednesday, October 9, Janice Combs and twin sisters Jessie and D'Lila Combs went to see the mogul at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn last week. His daughters were excited to see him after they flew to New York from their home in California. It was the first time Jessie and D'Lila had spent time with their dad since he was arrested in connection to an ongoing federal investigation into his alleged sex crimes.
The supervised visit was also a pivotal moment for Janice Combs, who was overwhelmed with emotions during her time there. Afterward, she felt motivated to break her silence about the mounting allegations against Diddy. Earlier this week, attorneys for Combs' mother released a statement in which she defended her son. She called the discourse surrounding the case a "public lynching" and wants him to have a chance to explain himself.
"I ask his supporters, fans, colleagues, friends, and the public, to not judge him before you’ve had the chance to hear his side," she said. "I beg you to think about those who have been wrongfully persecuted, to remember that not everyone who has made mistakes in life deserves to have their entire existence judged by a single action or a few mistakes. My son is not the monster they have painted him to be, and he deserves the chance to tell his side. I can only pray that I am alive to see him speak his truth and be vindicated.”
The Love Records founder was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting prostitutes. His legal recently filed a third appeal of his bond ruling, however, a decision has not been made yet. They also plan to "request a trial date in April or May 2025," per AllHipHop.
