Mother Defends Sean “Diddy” Combs Amid Sex Trafficking Allegations
Janice Smalls Combs, the mother of rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, has spoken out in defense of her son following his arrest on sex trafficking and sexual abuse charges.
Janice expressed heartbreak over the allegations, calling them “lies” and a “public lynching.” She acknowledged that her son has made mistakes in the past, including denying physical abuse against an ex-girlfriend.
She defended his settlement of the lawsuit filed by the ex-girlfriend, claiming it was not an admission of guilt but an attempt to avoid dragging out a complicated legal battle.
Janice further argued that the federal government’s current prosecution of Diddy is based on the same “lies” and is motivated by financial gain. She emphasized that false allegations of sexual assault harm true victims.
She implored the public to remember the potential for wrongful persecution and to allow Diddy the opportunity to present his side of the story. She concluded by expressing her belief that her son is not the monster he is being portrayed as.
