Diddy’s Mom Releases Statement About His Arrest

Janice released a statement to the media on Sunday, October 6 via her attorney Natlie G. Figgers. She tried to appeal to people’s emotions by saying, “I come to you today as a mother that is devastated and profoundly saddened by the allegations made against my son, Sean Combs. It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies.”

She went on to say that she felt like she had witnessed a “public lynching” of her son and pointed out that he had not had a chance to prove his innocence. “Like every human being, my son deserves to have this day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence,” Diddy’s mom said.

However, she acknowledged that her son isn’t perfect. “He has made mistakes in his past, as we all have,” Janice admitted. “My son may not have been entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has ever gotten violent with an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance showed otherwise.”

Janice then continued, stating that the truth and a lie can “become so closely intertwined that it becomes terrifying to admit one part of the story.” She also said that she believes that Diddy’s legal team settled out of court with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, which has had a “ricochet effect.” That said, she pointed out that not being honest about one problem doesn’t mean that Diddy is guilty of the “repulsive allegations” that are being brought against him.

Janice Smalls Combs Points To Cassie Ventura As Reason For These Allegations

In her statement, Janice is referring to the incident that was made public between Diddy and his ex Cassie Ventura. Hotel surveillance footage showed the music mogul physically assaulting Cassie in the hallway of a hotel. The clip showed him grabbing her by the neck, dragging her, and kicking her repeatedly. This came out as Cassie was suing him for sexual assault and physical abuse. Ultimately, Cassie never got her day in court. They settled the matter in one day.

Diddy’s mother also said that it has been “agonizing” to watch the entire world make fun of her son as his life is “crumbling” before their eyes.

The statement concluded, “These lies thrown at him are motivated by those seeking a financial gain, and not justice. These individuals saw how quickly my son’s civil legal team settled his ex-girlfriend’s lawsuit, so they believe they can receive a quick payday by falsely accusing my son. False allegations of sexual assault thwart true victims of sexual violence from getting the justice they deserve.”

Diddy was arrested on September 16 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty and was denied bail twice. The rapper is being remanded at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
