“My son is not the monster they are painting him to be,” cries Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, as she responds to the disturbing allegations against her famous son, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
He has recently been accused of serious crimes, including sexual assault, sex trafficking, and racketeering.
Publicly supporting her son, Janice released a statement through her legal counsel, Natlie G. Figgers. The statement was a poignant message condemning the public condemnation of her son before he gets his day in the courtroom.
She expressed her despair, saying that witnessing what seems like the public’s widespread unjust analisation of her son, even before he gets a chance to prove his innocence, is terribly painful and difficult to put into words.
Janice acknowledged that her son has made mistakes in his past. She referred to an incident in 2016, caught on a hotel’s surveillance camera, where Combs was seen physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
She voiced, “He is not infallible, as he has made mistakes like all of us. He has not always been completely honest about certain affairs, such as denying ever being violent towards an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance suggests otherwise.”
Combs faces a significant legal hurdle arising from a lawsuit filed by Ventura, his ex-girlfriend, last November. She accused him of rape, s*x trafficking, and lengthy physical abuse. Interestingly, the case was quickly settled out of court, which Janice believes could be misinterpreted as an admission of guilt.
Janice is convinced that many of these allegations are driven by monetary motives. She argues that these individuals saw how promptly her son’s legal team settled the lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend, and they now see this as an opportunity for a quick financial gain by wrongly accusing her son.
Watching her son’s life collapse before the world’s eyes and witnessing how easily people believe in the distorted image of her son is a pain she expressed she would never forget. She ended her statement with a plea, “My son is not the creature that has been depicted. He deserves the chance to voice his side of the story. I pray that I am still alive the day he gets a chance to clear his name and claim his vindication.”
