Diddy’s Mother Defends Mogul In First Statement Since His Arrest

Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, has broken her silence on her son’s arrest and mounting legal troubles.

Combs’ statement arrived days after a Houston-based attorney revealed he was representing 120 victims of Diddy’s alleged sexual misconduct and the claim a sex tape involving Diddy and a male A-list celebrity is being shopped around to various networks.

Attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, who’s representing several of Diddy’s alleged sexual assault victims, told News Nation she thinks it’s getting very close to becoming public, unless the A-lister purchases it and pulls “a catch and kill.” She also addressed the New York Post article that claimed the celebrity in the video is “horrified” to learn it’s up for sale. Diddy was arrested at Manhattan hotel on September 16. He pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
