Diddy will not be home for Thanksgiving, as a federal judge denied his latest shot at bail in his federal sex trafficking and racketeering case.
Judge Arun Subramanian issued his decision on Wednesday (November 27). He cited a variety of factors in his five-page order, ranging from the mogul’s violations of Bureau of Prisons rules around communications to “misrepresentations” he made to the judge at a recent hearing concerning material recovered during a sweep of his jail cell.
The judge also said that Diddy being free would present “a serious risk of witness tampering,” mentioning in particular his communications with an escort who the government says participated in multiple “freak-offs,” referred to only as “Witness-1.”
Diddy sent text messages to the witness repeatedly, even on the day he was giving grand jury testimony — some of which he deleted. The mogul’s lawyers had denied in a September hearing that their client interfered at all in the grand jury process.
But a chunk of Judge Subramanian’s decision deals with violence.
“[T]here is compelling evidence of Combs’s propensity for violence,” the judge wrote, citing, among other examples, the 2016 video of Diddy assaulting Cassie, as well as text messages Cassie sent in its aftermath, including “I have a black eye and a fat lip. You are sick for thinking it’s OK to do what you’ve done” and “I still have crazy bruising.”
Diddy is currently appealing his bail status in a different court, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. That case has been paused while today’s bail decision was in the works. No details were immediately available on when it will resume.
The Bad Boy founder had proposed a bail package $50 million bail package with his Miami Beach mansion as collateral, along with house arrest, 24/7 security and no contact with alleged victims or witnesses. In a hearing last week, Judge Subramanian said that house arrest at the Miami home wouldn’t work because there is a dock there.
Diddy’s legal team then proposed other options, including his three-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
HipHopDX has reached out to Diddy’s representatives for comment, but they did not immediately respond.
All that money and you can’t buy your way out of jail. When the demons come and talk to him the cells, what do they say to him? Does he realize in hell he is no closer to saran than the billions burning around him? Repent Mr combs.
Fluffy will be getting his turkey stuffed in jail tomorrow. Oh well
Diddy did it.
And his propensity for butt r@p3 too
That’s what he gets for violating n***** and bitches alike
This is clearly racism. Do yall REALLY think Diddy guilty of these crimes? Doubt it. Gay stuff? Nah. Diddy always said how much he liked girls. He never said to anyone that he liked guys, so how could it even be possible? Exactly, it isn’t possible. Now even if he did do what he accused of, yall is really think he should go to jail for it? I’d say no, due to systemic racism. You think a white man would go to jail for r@ping dozens of ppl? No. Harvey weinstein isn’t in jail. That his clone/body double. He in Haiti in paradise.
I like the way you think homie!
End Wokeness and FREE DIDDY NOW!! #freakoffsforever
