Judge denies Sean 'Diddy' Combs' request to be released to his N.Y. apartment

As a seasoned cinephile and connoisseur of life’s dramatic twists and turns, I find myself captivated by the unfolding saga of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Having witnessed countless stories of fame, fortune, and fall from grace on the silver screen, I must say that this real-life tale is proving to be as gripping as any Hollywood blockbuster.


According to a ruling made by a federal judge this week, Sean “Diddy” Combs will not be granted bail prior to Thanksgiving. The decision comes after accusations that the music industry titan has been attempting to circumvent prison regulations since his arrest, with the judge implying that these actions were in violation of the rules.

In a five-page decision, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian determined that the proposed $50-million bail by Combs’ legal team was not sufficient due to concerns about witness tampering and repeated violations of prison rules. Specifically, he pointed out that Combs had broken regulations by paying fellow inmates for their phone access codes, allowing him to contact individuals beyond his approved list.

Subramanian found that his tendency to violate prison board regulations, in a manner that might impede monitoring of his communications, provides substantial proof that the court cannot confidently ensure the adequacy of any conditions for his release.

The ruling shut down the third attempt by Combs’ attorneys to have him released during his criminal trial.

constant monitoring inside his three-bedroom apartment located on New York City’s Upper West Side.

In their argument, Combs’ legal team contended that the proposed apartment conditions would be significantly more stringent than those in prison. The plan would impose restrictions such as limiting phone conversations exclusively to attorneys, permitting only specific family members and lawyers to visit, and constant surveillance by a third-party firm.

But Subramanian shot down the request.

In light of the accusations in this particular case and the details offered by the government, the judge expressed concern about the adequacy of any restrictions reliant on Combs and his staff, such as a personal security team, to adhere to the terms set.

The individual named Combs is facing accusations related to human trafficking, organized crime activities, and facilitating prostitution. According to court documents, federal prosecutors claim that the 55-year-old founder of Bad Boy Entertainment exploited his connections with employees and power to entice female victims. They allege that he resorted to force, threats, manipulation, and drug use to persuade these women into performing sexual acts with male prostitutes.

The sometimes days-long sexual binges were referred to by Combs as “freak-offs,” prosecutors said.

Authorities argue against releasing Diddy (Combs) on bail, claiming he’s attempted to influence witnesses and violated prison regulations.

According to the judge’s ruling, it was evidently demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that no circumstances could guarantee the community’s safety from Combs, as he continued to present a significant risk for witness tampering.

Subramanian further referred to the controversial hotel surveillance footage of Combs physically attacking his girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. He emphasized that this video provided strong indications of Combs’ tendency towards violence.

During the emergency hearing on November 19th, the judge additionally highlighted instances where Combs’ legal team allegedly provided misleading information or statements, which he referred to as “inaccuracies.

At the hearing, Combs’ lawyers contended that the notepads confiscated from his cell during a search at the Metropolitan Detention Center should be regarded as confidential, given that the notepads were marked “Legal.

Photos from the sweep, however, showed that the notebooks had no such labels on them.

Regarding the events of this case and the inaccuracies presented during the hearing on November 19, 2024, when Combs was in attendance, these factors influence whether the court can confidently expect that any rules set by the court will be adhered to,” he stated.
