Gina Huynh Supports Diddy’s Release
Sean “Diddy” Combs has unexpectedly garnered support from his ex-girlfriend, who had originally been slated to testify against him during a trial in Manhattan. Instead of following through, she is now requesting his release.
Gina Huynh, previously noted as “Victim-3” in the ongoing sex trafficking case against Combs, submitted a letter to the judge advocating for his freedom before a ruling on prostitution charges due in October. Court documents reveal this development.
In her letter, which was filed recently, Huynh expressed, “As far as I know, he has been promising to be a father for many years, not violent and to be the first to be his father.”
It’s interesting, really. Huynh had previously spoken out against Combs in a 2019 interview, alleging incidents of physical violence during their five-year relationship. Yet, now she insists that she doesn’t consider him a danger to the community.
“I have known Sean Combs for many years, both personally and professionally. From that experience, I have seen how hard he has tried to be a supportive father, family member, and businessman,” she articulated in her letter.
“Our relationship had its share of ups and downs,” she continued. “We all make mistakes. He has owned up to his and has worked to make better choices since.”
It sounds like there’s a genuine transformation, or at least that’s how she presents it. “Over the years, he has made visible efforts to address the harm he caused. Up until our relationship ended, he showed an energy of love, perseverance, and kindness that was quite a departure from his previous behavior.”
Huynh, who had a brief relationship with Combs in 2014 following another romance, was called to testify about claims of abuse. However, she didn’t show up in court. She later argued in her letter that Combs had been “cooperative, respectful, and compliant” throughout investigations and related court proceedings.
“He has strong ties to his family and community, including children who depend on him for emotional and financial stability,” she pointed out. “Granting him bond would allow him to care for his family while under court supervision. I truly believe that if released, Mr. Combs will follow all imposed conditions and won’t jeopardize his family’s well-being.”
Testimony shared during the trial by a former assistant to Combs, George Kaplan, painted a troubling picture. Kaplan recalled seeing Combs throw an apple at Huynh during a moment of anger when she tried to shield herself.
In her past interviews, Huynh has been vocal about her experiences, alleging that Combs had physically assaulted her. “I couldn’t breathe. He kept hitting me. I was begging him to stop,” she had expressed. “He abused me mentally, emotionally, physically, always comparing me to others and belittling me.”
Combs was recently acquitted of assault and sex trafficking in a high-profile trial that exposed some of his darker preferences. However, he was convicted on lesser prostitution charges.
Currently, he is working to secure his release from a Brooklyn federal facility ahead of a sentencing set for October 3rd.
