Sean “Diddy” Combs’ family is supporting him amid his sex trafficking arrest.
The disgraced hip-hop mogul, who is currently being held behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, received a visit from his twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, and his mom, Janice Combs, last week, Page Six can confirm.
TMZ reported that Sean, 54, met with the 17-year-olds and Janice in a visiting area. During that time, they were able to hug and converse while being supervised by the jail staff.
The jail visit was the first time Jessie and D’Lila, whom Sean shares with late ex Kim Porter, have been able to see their father since he was arrested by federal agents last month.
TMZ reported that the visit was very emotional for the family and prompted Janice to speak out in defense of her son, who has been charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Page Six has reached out to Sean’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
As Page Six previously reported, Janice released a statement on Sunday, condemning the “public lynching” Sean has endured over the past few months.
“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies,” the mom of two said in the statement shared with Page Six via her lawyer.
“To bear witness to what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”
Janice then referenced the shocking 2016 surveillance that showed the Sean John founder physically attacking his then-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, in a hotel.
“I am not here to portray my son as perfect because he is not. He has made mistakes in his past, as we all have,” she continued.
“My son may not have been entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has ever gotten violent with an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance showed otherwise.”
Though Janice said her son wasn’t truthful about abusing Ventura, 38, that doesn’t mean he is guilty of the numerous sexual assault allegations against him.
“Not being entirely straightforward about one issue does not mean my son is guilty of the repulsive allegations and the grave charges leveled against him,” she continued.
“Many individuals who were wrongfully convicted and later exonerated had their freedom taken from them not because they were guilty of the crimes they were accused of, but because they didn’t fit the image of what this society considers to be a ‘good person.’ History has showed us how individuals can be wrongfully convicted due to their past actions or mistakes.”
Janice said she believed her son’s accusers are looking for a “quick payday” after they witnessed the “Act Bad” rapper quickly settle his abuse and rape lawsuit with Ventura.
Sean was arrested on Sept. 16 in Manhattan.
The Revolt co-founder pleaded not guilty to the charges and is currently being held without bail at the detention center.
Sean’s legal team is currently in the process of filing a third appeal so he can be released from prison until his trial begins.
The dad of seven has also received support from some of his other children, including his sons Christian, 26, and Justin, 30, who attended his hearings.
