By Janice Combs, mother of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, has spoken out in defense of her son amid mounting legal troubles, including charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Speaking through her attorney Natalie Figgers to Local 10 News on Sunday, Janice Combs expressed devastation over the allegations against her son, claiming he is being judged by a “narrative created out of lies” rather than the truth.
“To bear witness to what seems like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words,” Janice Combs stated.
She suggested that Diddy’s recent settlement with ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura may have triggered a domino effect leading to the current legal situation. However, Janice Combs emphasized her belief that her son deserves his day in court to prove his innocence against the serious charges he faces.
“My son is not the monster they have painted him to be,” Janice Combs asserted, indicating her unwavering support as Diddy prepares for his next court date on October 9.
Legal expert Harold Johnson told the Associated Press, “While maternal support is common in high-profile cases, it rarely impacts legal proceedings. The focus will remain on evidence and testimony presented in court.”
