Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Freak-Off Guests Are Coming to His Defense According to Source
Sean Diddy Combs has had an almost overwhelming amount of alleged witnesses and victims come forward before and after his arrest. So far, however, Diddy hasn’t received much support from anyone of note aside from his legal team and family. But recent reports asserted that might change the closer Diddy gets to his trial.
The women Sean Diddy Combs hired for his freak-offs might testify on his behalf
Diddy’s parties were always known for being raunchy, but it was usually assumed that everyone participating in these events were all consenting adults. His scandals, however, called into question just how consensual these parties were. Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, was the first to raise significant suspicion. In her lawsuit against Diddy, she accused the Bad Boys CEO of coercing her into having sex with several male prostitutes. From there, other parties have come forward, accusing Diddy of similar crimes.
But whether Diddy truly pressured and forced his accusers into these situations will determine whether or not he’ll spend his remaining years behind bars. And if recent reports are to be believed, Diddy has been quietly gathering supporters outside of his attorneys and family to vouch for his innocence. Hot New Hip Hop claimed that Diddy will be relying on six female escorts who are very familiar with his freak-offs as witnesses. The publication shared that these women will claim everything that happened at Diddy’s parties were both consensual and legal. There’s also the possibility that they aren’t the only aces up the hitmaker’s sleeve.
“Six escorts are only the beginning,” an attorney assured.
Diddy and his team’s recent moves, if true, might not be surprising for others looking at the case closely from the outside. TMZ’s Harvey Levin predicted Diddy’s team would try to prove the freak-offs were always consensual, seeing the strategy as his best chance at freedom.
“But I think this is going to be ‘deny, deny deny’ defense. … The volume of this is going to be very difficult for him to overcome,” Levin theorized to News Nation.
Why Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs would refuse a potential plea deal
If offered by a prosecutor, a plea deal might shave off Diddy’s sentence by a significant amount, and perhaps reduce the stress of facing excessive jail time. But Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo doesn’t believe the music mogul would accept that kind of bargain for the sake of his innocence.
“It’s up to Mr. Combs, and I don’t see it happening because he believes he’s innocent. And what’s more, he believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself,” Agnifilo said on the TMZ documentary The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.
According to Agnifilo, Diddy also feels, by rejecting a plea bargain, he’d serve as inspiration for others falsely prosecuted by the justice system.
“He feels an obligation to those people to say, ‘You know what, maybe I can break the model. Maybe I can show the world that a Black man can win in federal court.’ And I think he probably is the only person I know of who might be able to actually accomplish that goal,” Agnifilo said.
How Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has already tried to silence potential witnesses
Due to the massive publicity of the case, Diddy and his defense team have been concerned about their upcoming trial’s ability to play fair. To try to preserve the trial’s legitimacy, he and his team asked the judge overseeing the case to ban witnesses from speaking about the trial. At least to the media and to the public at large. The decision came as a response to a key witness discussing details about the case with the media after already speaking with the grand jury. Diddy’s defense team argued these kinds of interviews set a dangerous precedent that could negatively influence the trial and the jury. Especially since some of these witnesses’ stories have yet to be fully corroborated.
“Over the past several days, a grand jury witness and his attorney have given multiple interviews – including outside the courthouse immediately following his apparent grand jury testimony – making false and outrageous claims, including that the witness possesses videos of Mr. Combs involved in the sexual assault of celebrities and minors,” Diddy’s legal team wrote in a letter according to USA Today.
But CNN reported that Judge Arun Subramanian rejected the gag order, asserting that the right to free speech superseded Diddy’s concerns.
“Not all alleged victims will be participants in this case, and a blanket restriction on their speech will silence individuals who may never have anything to do with the proceedings here. And in any event, less restrictive alternatives must be considered and rejected before imposing a restraint on speech,” Subramanian said.
