Diddy's lawyers propose house arrest at swanky Upper East Side apartment with live-in guards after judge rejects Star Island mansion request

As a seasoned investigator with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that this case involving Diddy is quite intriguing. The allegations against him, if proven true, paint a picture of a lifestyle far removed from the average person’s. However, it’s essential to remember that every person has two sides, and only a court of law can determine the truth.


The court was advised by Diddy’s legal team on Friday that it would be appropriate for him to be released on bail, allowing him to reside under house arrest at an Upper East Side apartment in New York, under constant surveillance.

In a bid for release while standing trial on accusations related to sex trafficking and racketeering, the lawyers of the fallen hip hop magnate presented their case for the third time.

They mentioned that there would be two permanent security personnel residing at the three-bedroom house, with no personal phone or internet access for him, and an additional security guard stationed on the lower floor.

Lawyer Marc Agnifilo described the conditions as extremely stringent, stating they were more demanding than those experienced by Diddy at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is presently detained.

Next week, Judge Arun Subramanian at the New York Federal Court will make a decision regarding Diddy’s release.

However, he firmly dismissed the notion that Diddy was under house arrest within his $48.5 million estate on Star Island, Florida, by stating, “That’s not a viable solution.

At the two-hour court session, prosecutor Christy Slavik argued that Diddy’s actions of using unlawful methods to communicate with others while imprisoned showed a persistent attempt to interfere with the fairness of the trial process.

In a subsequent message, Diddy expressed his desire to join the jury, stating he only required one more person. (or)

In the communications from Diddy’s legal team, there was a sense of apprehension, while even his family felt that the message should not have been shared publicly.

Diddy told them ‘I don’t care. It’s my birthday’, the court heard.

Slavik stated: ‘The defendant has shown that they are unable or unwilling to adhere to the rules. In essence, the defendant is not reliable.’

Diddy consistently reached out to a particular female witness, who was also an escort known for her participation in several ‘Freak Offs’. Afterwards, he erased those communication threads.

Slavik stated that if Diddy was granted release on a large bond, it could be seen as him ‘buying his freedom from detention.’

In listening attentively, Slavik candidly explained his actions depicted in the distressing video showing him assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at a hotel back in March 2016.

She said that the incident took place in the middle of a ‘Freak Off’.

According to Slavik, there are numerous pieces of evidence indicating that a sex worker was present in the hotel room during the time when the defendant was violently attacking a woman in the elevator area and attempting to force her back into the hotel room.

The administration contends that this video serves as proof supporting the accusation that the defendant is a perpetrator of violence, posing a threat to the safety of our community.

‘Given how damaging this evidence is for the defendant during the trial, it’s not surprising that he’s attempting every possible tactic in an attempt to make this issue disappear.’

Slavik mentioned that in the past few weeks, they discovered additional acts of violence carried out by the defendant.

She stated that it encompasses actions such as hitting, striking, or pushing. She explained that the victims can range from colleagues at work, romantic partners, to individuals who simply became overly familiar.

‘The defendant is violent, he’s dangerous and must be remanded on that basis.’

Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, stated that there was absolutely no possibility of him becoming violent if released.

Initially, I had proposed that Diddy be detained at his $48.5 million Star Island mansion in Florida; however, the judge swiftly dismissed this idea, stating emphatically, “That’s not a feasible solution.

Instead, Agnifilo suggested that Diddy should be placed under home confinement at a three-bedroom apartment located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

As a devoted follower, I’d ensure that around-the-clock security personnel are stationed within my apartment, with another one positioned downstairs at all times. I, myself, will be restricted from having unrestricted access to a phone or the Internet, except for contacting my legal representatives. A pre-approved list of individuals, encompassing my family members, will be the only ones allowed to visit me under strict vetting procedures.

Agnifilo described the conditions as extremely stringent, stricter even than what he experienced during his time in prison.

Regarding Diddy and Ventura’s relationship, Agnifilo stated that there was no denial about mutual, regrettable physical interactions. However, he emphasized that such actions were not one-sided, implying they occurred reciprocally.

‘It’s our defense that this was a toxic, loving, 11 year relationship,’ he said.

Lawyer Alexandra Shapiro attempted to make the case for Diddy’s release by suggesting that his alleged offenses were less severe compared to those of Michael Jeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, who stands accused of human trafficking in a Long Island court.

Shapiro said that Jeffies is 80 and given Diddy is 55 they are not so far apart in age.

She said: ‘Mr Combs is 55. I hate to say it but that’s not that young.’

The judge, Subramanian, instructed both the prosecution and the defense to provide further details about Diddy’s communication methods while in custody, setting a deadline for submissions by November 25.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I found myself standing outside the courthouse today, where the Combs family made their grand entrance. In a spacious blacked-out van, Diddy’s mother, Janice, and his son Christian ‘King’ Combs, 26, stepped out in unity, ready to face the day ahead. With arms intertwined, they walked hand in hand towards the courtroom, displaying a bond that transcends time.

Diddy himself walked into court from a side door and was wearing a prison-issued tan top and pants 

He was not shackled after his lawyers claimed that doing so offended the ‘dignity’ of the court.

Diddy broke into a smile upon noticing seven relatives in the second row of the audience – among them was his mother Janice (age 83), who donned sunglasses, as well as his adopted son Quincy (aged 33), Justin (30), King, Chance (18), and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie (both 17).

As an over-the-moon admirer, I couldn’t help but send a flurry of affectionate kisses, form a heartfelt gesture by joining my fingers in a silent prayer, and tap on my chest in deep adoration, all while eagerly waiting for the show to begin.

Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, stands charged for overseeing an illicit organization active for ten years, where he allegedly organized events called ‘Freak Offs,’ during which women were reportedly given drugs without their consent and then coerced into extended sexual encounters, sometimes involving male escorts.

He refutes accusations of sex trafficking, organized crime, and several other offenses. His court trial is scheduled for May of the following year.

Previously, Diddy’s requests for bail have been turned down not once, but twice. This includes a high-value bail package worth $50 million that would come with constant surveillance by security personnel and house arrest conditions.
