There’s a lot to unpack regarding Sean “Diddy” Combs and his recent legal struggles, particularly following his arrest and the unsealed indictment that brought to light three serious federal charges: racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.
During an arraignment hearing on September 17, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, revealed that the music mogul is currently receiving “treatment and therapy.” While details about the specific nature of this treatment weren’t disclosed, Agnifilo noted that Diddy is addressing issues that he respectfully needs help with. He also acknowledged Diddy’s imperfections, mentioning past drug use and toxic relationships, which he described as often mutual in their negativity.
“Mr. Combs is not a perfect person. There’s been drug use, there’s been toxic relationships – which I think were mutual in their toxicity as these things often are,” PEOPLE quotes.

Combs has been accused of forcing victims to participate in “freak offs” which is described in court documents as “elaborate and produced sex performances,” according to the details of Combs’ indictment. It was also reported that Combs allegedly used drugs like cocaine, to allegedly intimidate women to join the “freak offs,” which were sometimes allegedly captured on camera without the victims’ knowledge. Diddy’s alleged physical abuse dates back to 2009, prosecutors claimed in the indictment as well as more details.
More On Diddy’s Arrest:
As we previously reported, earlier this week, Diddy was apprehended and subsequently charged, resulting in the denial of bail. He is currently being held in pretrial detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, specifically in a “Special Housing Unit.” This unit is designed to provide additional protection for inmates who may require it, separating them from the general population.
Diddy, now 54, who pleaded not guilty in court, is scheduled to appear in court again on September 18, where he is expected to challenge the bail denial decision.
