Sister will not come home during holidays.
Or any day thereafter in the near future.
On Friday afternoon, a New York federal judge denied the rapper’s request to be released on bail… saying on the record that the mogul is potentially dangerous “according to clear and convincing evidence” and “any conditions or “The combination of will not reasonably assure safety.” community.”
This is the fourth time Diddy has requested bail – and the fourth time it has been denied.
As reported by multiple outlets on November 27, Judge Arun Subramaniam ruled in court, “There is solid evidence of Combs’ propensity for violence,” including evidence from a 2016 Intercontinental Hotel incident with then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, obtained by CNN. Video also included.
The video, which we detailed on The Hollywood Gossip, shows Diddy kicking and beating Cassie.
Diddy’s legal team tried to argue that the footage was edited (despite Diddy previously apologizing for the horrific act), but the judge simply said that “even the version of the footage presented by Combs clearly There is violence from.”
Along with the potential for violence, Diddy was recently charged with witness tampering from jail.
Prosecutors argued Friday that Combs’ attempts to influence witnesses behind bars (through phone calls and threats) constitute “obstruction” of his criminal case.
He also criticized the musician’s “efforts to influence the jury pool” through a social media campaign organized by his children.
On November 8, Diddy formally requested to be released from Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, claiming he should be allowed to prepare for his May 2025 trial outside prison due to changed circumstances and new evidence. .
Diddy’s lawyers proposed a “far stronger” $50 million bail package in the filing, which would have included full-time security surveillance, house arrest and restrictions on his ability to contact anyone outside his legal team.
As you probably know by now, Diddy was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in September.
In the subsequent federal indictment, the public learned of gruesome details of alleged eccentric parties that included sex workers, drugs, threats of violence, and other ways in which Diddy allegedly abused and assaulted a cadre of women.
By way of his fourth bail request, the rapper proposed home confinement in his three-bedroom Upper East Side apartment, which the judge was unwilling to grant, and said in response:
“Given the nature of the allegations in this case and the information provided by the Government, the Court is skeptical of the adequacy of any conditions imposed on Combs and individuals in his employ – such as a private security detail – Trusts.”
In his decision, Subramaniam cited “evidence supporting a serious risk of witness tampering”, including Combs’s calls and texts with witnesses and prison rules such as using the phone access codes of other inmates at MDC-Brooklyn. Violation is involved.
