Sean “Diddy' Combs was arrested in New York on federal charges, months after his homes in LA and Miami were raided by HSI officials.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arrested Monday in New York, Fox News Digital confirmed. It's unclear what charges Diddy faces. 'We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,' Marc Agnifilo, Combs' lawyer said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners,' Homeland Security Investigations said in a statement. 'We will provide further information as it becomes available.' Combs, 51, still faces potential litigation in a handful of civil suits and one criminal lawsuit.
Days later, Combs issued an apology on Instagram. 'It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that. I was f---ed up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses,' Combs said. 'My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.
Diddy denied the claim, saying in a statement shared with Fox News Digital: 'Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.' A music producer, Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, who sued Combs for sexual assault in February, also added actor Cuba Gooding Jr. to his complaint.
Former Arista records intern April Lampros said her friendship with Combs in the '90s quickly 'manifested into an aggressive, coercive, and abusive relationship based on sex,' in documents obtained by Fox News Digital. Lampros recalled 'four terrifying sexual encounters' with Combs, one of which was from 1996 when Combs 'forced' Kim Porter and Lampros to take ecstasy and then 'demanded Kim Porter to have sexual intercourse with Ms. Lampros.
