Sean ‘Diddy' Combs denied release from jail to await sentencing
Sean 'Diddy' Combs cannot go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said on Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fuelled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges – racketeering and sex trafficking – while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offence. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines are not mandatory, and Judge Arun Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a huge figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights'. His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalise consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defence acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend'. The defence's most recent proposal included a 50 million-dollar (£37.6 million) bond and travel restrictions and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimise his recent violent conduct – demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision'.

Sean Combs Denied Bail for Second Time
Sean 'Diddy' Combs lost his second bid to be released from jail after a judge ruled Monday the hip-hop mogul failed to prove he wasn't a flight risk or a danger to the community. 'Increasing the amount of the bond or devising additional conditions doesn't change the calculus given the circumstances and heavy burden of proof that Combs bears,' Judge Arun Subramanian ruled Monday. '('At trial, the defense conceded the defendant's violence in his personal relationships. . . . This type of violence, which happens behind closed doors . . . is impossible to police with conditions.'). On this basis alone, Combs' application is denied.' More from Rolling Stone Soulja Boy Arrested on Weapons Charge During Traffic Stop in Los Angeles Trump Says Sean Combs Pardon Is 'More Difficult to Do' Since Combs Was 'Hostile' to Him Tory Lanez Ordered to Pay Megan Thee Stallion's Legal Fees For 'Disruptive' Deposition The 55-year-old has been trying to secure his release from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) since last month, when a New York jury acquitted him on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Although the Bad Boy founder was cleared of charges that could have seen him facing up to life in prison, Combs was found guilty on two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, resulting in his continued detention until his sentencing on Oct. 3. Combs' attorneys argued the father-of-seven should be with his family in the interim. Last week, they renewed their request for bail, saying there were exceptional conditions for his release. In a kitchen sink-style approach, his defense team offered a $50 million bail package, raised issues about unfit conditions at MDC, and argued against the Mann Act statute he was charged with. In a separate motion, they asked the judge to set aside Combs' conviction or be retried on the prostitution charges alone. But Subramanian rejected all of these arguments. 'While Combs may contend at sentencing that this evidence should be discounted and that what happened was nothing more than a case of willing 'swingers' utilizing the voluntary services of escorts for their mutual pleasure, the Government takes the opposite view: that Cassie Ventura and Jane were beaten, coerced, threatened, lied to, and victimized by Combs as part of their participation in these events,' Subramanian wrote. 'That makes this case unlike any of the cases Combs points to and places it outside the narrow exception to detention that Congress otherwise deemed mandatory.' Subramanian also noted that Combs' attorneys have admitted that MDC officials have kept 'him safe and attend[ed] to his needs, even during an incident of threatened violence from an inmate.' (Rolling Stone has reached out Combs' representatives for more information on the incident.) Over the weekend before the judge's ruling, Combs' attorneys reemphasized their bid for bail and tried to reassure the judge's initial concern about Combs' longstanding history of violence. Apart from a lone, isolated incident with his ex-girlfriend 'Jane' in June 2024, Combs' attorneys claimed he has not been violent with anyone following the end of his relationship with Ventura in 2018. But prosecutors rebutted that assertion in a response last week, listing specifics on why the claim was 'simply not true' in a redacted paragraph. It wasn't clear precisely what alleged incidents prosecutors were referring to in their letter. Still, it appeared it pertained to Combs' ex-girlfriend, Gina Huynh, who over the weekend submitted a letter to the judge to advocate for Combs' release. Although Huynh was not called as a witness by the government, she played a significant role in Combs' eight-week trial. Initially, it was believed Huynh — who has been in an on-off relationship with Combs since 2014 and was referred to as Victim-3 in the indictment — would be called to testify. However, weeks before the trial, prosecutors admitted they were having trouble getting in touch with Huynh, ultimately conceding that she was 'out' of the trial. Still, Huynh's name continually popped up during the course of witness testimony. Both Ventura and Jane acknowledged Combs' not-so-secret dalliance with Huynh, saying it caused problems in their respective relationships. There were accusations that Combs was also violent with Huynh. Combs' assistant, George Kaplan, said he once saw Combs hurling decorative apples at Huynh. And in October 2015, Combs' former head of security warned Combs that he could go to jail if word leaked about an apparent violent incident between the pair. Even before Combs' criminal trial, Huynh herself alleged that Combs had been violent with her, allegedly shoving her to the ground, dragging her by the hair, and stomping on her stomach during a fight in 2018. But Huynh's letter to the judge didn't touch on any specifics of her previous claims, only acknowledging that they 'experienced ups and downs.' 'Mistakes were made, but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future,' Huynh wrote. 'Over the years that followed, he made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused. By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior. To my knowledge, he has not been violent for many years, and he has been committed to being a father first.' The judge's decision comes on the heels of Combs using his high-powered defense team and influential connections to try and put his criminal trial behind him. He is hoping for a minimum sentence, no more than 27 months with credit for the 11 months that he's already served. (Prosecutors claim Combs should face at least 51 months behind bars, per sentencing guidelines.) That's if Combs serves any more time at all. His team is exploring all options, including appeals and even a presidential pardon. Last week, Rolling Stone reported that Combs' allies have ramped up their efforts in lobbying President Trump for a pardon, feeling emboldened by his partial acquittal. Members of Combs' camp have approached people close to the Trump administration and floated paying large sums of money if they agreed to help with a potential Trump pardon, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.

The Gilded Age Boss Breaks Down Oscar's Tragic Outburst — Does Agnes Know the Truth About John Adams?
Yes, Sunday's episode of The Gilded Age ended on a dramatic (and potentially fatal) note for a key member of the show's cast — but that's actually not the heartbreaking storyline we'd like to discuss right now. Instead, we need to talk about Oscar, who discovered that his lover John Adams left him a house upstate, following his own tragic death by speeding horse carriage. When he returned home in a puddle of grief, he lashed out at Agnes, essentially outing himself in the process. Here was their exchange: More from TVLine The Gilded Age Shocker: Morgan Spector Was 'Thrilled' by Episode 7's Jaw-Dropping Ending House of the Dragon Adds Annie Shapero as Alysanne 'Black Aly' Blackwood in Season 3 The Gilded Age Renewed for Season 4 Ahead of Finale OSCAR | 'I suppose she knew John and I were… friends. But I agree, it seems odd that he gave more to me dead than when he was alive.'AGNES | 'Oh, don't be macabre.'OSCAR | 'How should I be, mama?! I can't be too sad, but I can't be too cheerful. I'm sure you don't want to hear that I miss him. I sat in the back row of his funeral like a stranger who walked in to get out of the rain, when I should have taken my rightful…'AGNES | 'Oscar, what is all of this about?!'OSCAR | 'Do you really want to know, mama?' At this point, both Marian and Ada appeared to have read between the lines, picking up on what Oscar wasn't saying. Ada explained it away to Agnes as Oscar 'mourning the loss of his savior, as we all would,' while Marian later visited Oscar in his room to — in so many words — show her compassion for his situation. But what if Oscar had finished that sentence? Would his mother, aunt and cousin have responded positively, or would it have been an 1880s-appropriate disaster? 'For Agnes, I don't mean that she would be unaware of it, but she would never respond to it,' series creator Julian Fellowes tells TVLine. 'She would respond as if such a thing could not be, whereas Ada, who was gentler and less of a fighter, is more aware of it. I think that we found a rather marvelous performance from Cynthia [Nixon], where it's quite clear that she knows what they're dealing with, but there's a limit of how far she's prepared to go.' As for Marian, 'a younger girl who is more liberal,' Fellowes notes that she would probably be 'more understanding,' as we saw when she comforted Oscar later. 'But no one would say to Oscar, 'Why don't you just take a house with him around the corner and go and live on 53rd Street and everything would be fine?' Because it wouldn't be fine. They can't compel him, or suggest even, that he should live his life as an outsider.' As a result, Oscar is 'stuck with a life which God knows thousands of men and women were stuck with' in those times, and even later, Fellowes says. 'They could live in the normal world along with everyone else, but essentially live a lie, or they could expose their lie and be an outsider for the rest of their lives. That was the choice they were offered, which was very hard. There were certain ways of thinking that people felt they couldn't escape. The nicer ones could be understanding and helpful, and I'm sure they did their best, but even that's not enough to make you go against the whole of your society.' It's tragic, of course, because we can't imagine two better people to come out to than Christine Baranski (Agnes) and Cynthia Nixon (Ada). Rather than focus on the limitations of the time period, however, Fellowes suggests that we use this as an opportunity to appreciate societal progress. 'I think it's worth considering and understanding that, yes, a hell of a lot of things have gotten worse [for the LGBTQ+ community], but some things have gotten better — and that's worth holding on to, I think.'
