Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-girlfriend advocates for his bail in letter to judge
Sean "Diddy" Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Virginia "Gina" Huynh, made an unexpected move when she advocated for him to be released on bail in a letter to a judge presiding over his federal case.
In a letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian that Variety obtained, Huynh requested that Combs be granted bond to "allow him to continue caring for his family and fulfilling his responsibilities while still subject to the Court’s supervision."
She said that she does not view him as a "danger" to her or to the community. She also said that Combs "has not been violent for many years" and "has been committed to being a father first."
Huynh, who was referred to as "Victim-3" in his indictment before she mysteriously dropped out days before the trial began, also said that Combs had been "cooperative, respectful and compliant" throughout the investigation and proceedings.
"Our relationship, like many, was not always perfect, we experienced ups and downs, and mistakes were made but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future," she wrote.
"Over the years that followed he made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused. By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior," she continued.
Combs was cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life, but was found guilty of lesser prostitution-related offenses.
Subramanian said prosecutors had presented ample evidence at Combs' trial that he had committed violent acts and should remain in jail until his sentencing on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
The weeks-long trial focused on allegations that Combs forced two of his former girlfriends to partake in drug-fueled, days-long sexual performances sometimes known as "Freak Offs" with male sex workers in hotel rooms as Combs watched, masturbated, and occasionally filmed.
Both women—the rhythm and blues singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, and a woman known in court by the pseudonym Jane—testified that he beat them and threatened to withhold financial support or leak sexually explicit images of them.
Huynh was initially part of the prosecution’s case against Combs, but dropped out after prosecutors were no longer able to contact her despite having been summoned to testify.
Combs has been held in a federal lockup in Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest.
