Sean “Diddy” Combs’ family is standing by him following his arrest on sеx trafficking charges.
The fallen hip-hop icon, currently incarcеrated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, was visited by his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, along with his mother, Janice Combs, last week, as confirmed by Page Six.
According to TMZ, Diddy spent time with the 17-year-olds and Janice in the facility’s visiting area, where they were allowed to hug and talk under the watchful eye of jail staff.
This marked Jessie and D’Lila’s first visit with their father since his arrest by federal authorities last month. The twins are Diddy’s daughters with his late ex, Kim Porter.
TMZ revealed that the family visit was highly emotional, leading Janice to publicly defend her son, who faces charges of rackеteering conspiracy, sеx trafficking through force, fraud, or coеrcion, and transporting individuals for prоstitution.
Page Six reached out to Diddy’s representative for a comment but has not received a response yet.
As previously reported by Page Six, Janice issued a statement, criticizing the “public lynching” her son has faced in recent months.
“It’s devastating to watch my son be condemned not based on truth, but on a false narrative built on lies,” Janice said in the statement shared with Page Six through her attorney.
“To witness what feels like a public lynching of my son before he’s had the chance to prove his innocence is an indescribable pain. Like anyone else, my son deserves his day in court to tell his side of the story and clear his name.”
Janice then referenced the disturbing 2016 surveillance footage showing Sean John’s founder physically аssaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel.
“I’m not here to paint my son as perfect, because he isn’t. He’s made mistakes in the past, as we all have,” she added.
“My son hasn’t always been fully honest, such as when he denied ever being violеnt with an ex-girlfriend, despite hotel surveillance proving otherwise.”
Although Janice acknowledged her son wasn’t truthful about abusing Cassie Ventura, 38, she emphasized that this doesn’t mean he’s guilty of the many sеxual аssault accusations against him.
“Not being completely honest about one matter doesn’t make my son guilty of the disturbing allegations and serious charges he’s facing,” she added.
“Many wrongfully convicted individuals who were later cleared of crimes lost their freedom not because they were guilty, but because they didn’t fit society’s image of a ‘good person.’ History has shown us how people can be wrongly convicted due to their past actions or mistakes.”
Janice also expressed her belief that her son’s accusers are seeking a “quick payday” after seeing how swiftly the “Act Bad” rapper settled his abusе and rapе lawsuit with Ventura.
