Diddy’s Ex ‘Victim-3’ Shocks Court: Asks Judge to Free Him on Bail, Says He’s ‘Not a Danger Anymore’
In a surprising turn of events, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Virginia Huynh, who was listed as “Victim-3” in the rapper’s high-profile racketeering and sex trafficking case, has filed a letter urging a federal judge to grant him bail. Huynh’s plea comes just months after Diddy’s conviction on two prostitution counts and his acquittal on more severe charges.
Virginia Huynh, who has previously, as victim 3, accused Sean Diddy Combs of physical abuse, told the court that the hip-hop mogul has not been violent “for many years” and is no longer a threat to her or the community. “I want to assure the court that if released, I believe Mr. Combs will adhere to all conditions imposed and will not jeopardize his freedom or the well-being of his family,” she wrote in court documents submitted on Sunday.
The prosecution has fiercely argued against Sean Diddy Combs’ release, citing his “extensive history of violence” and labeling him a continued risk. However, Huynh’s unexpected letter paints a different picture, emphasizing Diddy’s transformation and his commitment to family.
Virginia Huynh, also known as “Gina,” was a key figure in the federal case against Sean Diddy Combs but never appeared in court. Prosecutors had informed the judge they were unable to locate her as the trial neared, which prevented her from testifying. Now, in a move that’s frustrating prosecutors, she has resurfaced — this time, advocating for Diddy’s release.
In her letter, Virginia Huynh acknowledged the tumultuous nature of their past relationship but stressed that Sean Diddy Combs had made “visible efforts” to become a better person. “Our relationship, like many, was not always perfect… but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future,” she stated.
This development arrives as Sean Diddy Combs’ legal team pushes to overturn his two prostitution convictions or, at the very least, secure his release on bond ahead of his October sentencing. Legal experts suggest that sentencing guidelines could see Combs facing two to five years in prison.
Diddy’s racketeering and sex trafficking trial revolved around accusations that he orchestrated so-called “freak-offs” — elaborate sex parties where women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, were allegedly forced to perform sexual acts in front of him. The trial, which captured global media attention, resulted in Diddy being cleared of the most serious charges but left him convicted of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
Virginia Huynh’s letter underscores a significant shift in narrative, complicating the prosecution’s portrayal of Diddy as an ongoing threat. “By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience, and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior,” she wrote.
As of now, prosecutors have not commented on Virginia Huynh’s letter, but the filing is certain to be a major talking point in Diddy’s upcoming bail hearing.
