Sean 'Diddy' Combs 'staying strong' despite Christmas 'meltdown' as he pleaded with guards
Share:
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' reality of having Christmas behind bars allegedly sent him into meltdown. The disgraced music mogul is currently behind bars at the ruthless Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he is awaiting trial after being charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation and engaging in prostitution. The rapper, 55, is expected to be locked up until his trial kicks off on May 5, 2025. Outside of the criminal charges he is facing, Combs has been sued by several people who have brought civil actions claiming he subjected them to physical or sexual abuse, including his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie. Combs has strongly denied all allegations.
But when reality set in that he wouldn't be out of prison for Christmas, despite his continuous pleas for bail, Diddy is said to have had a meltdown and begged guards to take him to the prison hospital for observation – which was denied. Sources claim that Diddy believed he would be out on bail due to his "high powered legal team". However, sources close to Diddy have told the Mirror that claims of a "meltdown" are "false".
"Spending the holidays behind bars was a nightmare for him," a source said. They went on to add that after his "meltdown", he "eventually managed to calm himself down with the meditation technique he's been using while he's been behind bars. It took him a few hours of deep breathing and focusing to get out of the bad space he was in, but he finally managed it.".
The MailOnline reports that he often refuses meals while in prison as he awaits his trial next year. However, a source close to Diddy told the Mirror that Diddy didn't suffer a meltdown at all. They exclusively told us: "He continues to stay strong and focused on his defence. Although he missed his family on Christmas Day, a holiday he traditionally spends with his children.".
