NEW YORK — Virginia “Gina” Huynh, the ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has publicly expressed her support for the rapper as he seeks bail ahead of his sentencing scheduled for October 3. In a letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian, Huynh argued that Combs, who has been labeled “Victim-3” in the federal indictment against him, has not exhibited violent behavior for many years and has focused on being a dedicated father.
In court documents revealed Sunday, Huynh reflected on their relationship, which she described as imperfect but highlighted the efforts Combs made to acknowledge past mistakes. “He was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future,” she stated. According to her, Combs, now 55, transformed into a person who embodied positive energy and a gentleness that was markedly different from earlier behavior during their time together.
Huynh indicated that she does not see Combs as a threat to either her or the community, asserting that he has been cooperative and respectful throughout the investigation and court proceedings. “This is his first criminal case,” she noted, adding that he has strong ties to his family, including children who rely on him for support. “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.
Despite her role in the court’s proceedings, Huynh did not testify at Combs’ federal trial, even though she was a key witness for the prosecution. Meanwhile, allegations of abusive behavior surrounding their relationship have surfaced. In a previous interview from 2019, she accused Combs of serious mistreatment, claiming he physically assaulted her during their five-year relationship, which overlapped with his on-and-off romance with singer Cassie Ventura.
The prosecution’s case against Combs culminated in a guilty verdict in July, resulting in two counts of transportation for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. Although acquitted of more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, Combs faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Judge Subramanian had previously denied bail to Combs post-verdict, citing concerns about a potential disregard for the law and a violent disposition.
Attorneys representing Combs had no immediate comments available following Huynh’s plea. As the case progresses, attention remains focused on the outcome of the upcoming sentencing and the broader implications for the music mogul.
