5 Things to Know About Diddy's Ex Gina Huynh: From Abuse Allegations to Her Letter of Support

Sean 'Diddy' Combs recently received help from an unexpected source — his ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh.
On August 3, Variety reported Virginia 'Gina' Huynh, 33, wrote a letter to the judge presiding over his federal case in support of his latest bail request, saying she believes her ex-boyfriend has changed.
The letter comes years after Huynh levied her own accusations of abuse against Diddy and weeks after she dropped out of testifying against him in the trial.
'I am writing because I do not view Mr. Combs as a danger to me or to the community,' she wrote. 'This is his first criminal case. Throughout the investigation and proceedings he has been cooperative, respectful and compliant. He has substantial ties to his family and community, including children who depend on him for emotional and financial support. Granting him bond would allow him to continue caring for his family and fulfilling his responsibilities while still subject to the Court's supervision.'

She added that the pair's relationship 'was not always perfect' but that 'he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future.'
Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied all allegations against him. On July 2, a jury found him guilty on two counts of transportation but acquitted him of the other charges. He has been incarcerated at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest and will remain there until his October 3 sentencing unless Judge Arun Subramanian rules in favor of his latest bail request.

Her Allegations Against Diddy Were Disturbing
Huynh first spoke about abuse she allegedly suffered at Diddy's hands in 2019 when she told YouTuber Tasha K he 'was mentally, emotionally and physically abusing me.'
'He would always compare me to [ex-girlfriend] Cassie [Ventura] and tell me that I'm the bad one, she's a good one,' she claimed. 'He took one of my heels and tried to throw it at me. He, like, mushed my face, like, really hard and made my nose bleed.'
Huynh went on to claim that Diddy allegedly offered her $50,000 to have an abortion after she got pregnant in 2014.
She further alleged that Diddy once 'stomped on my stomach, like, really hard,' adding, 'I couldn't breathe, but he kept hitting me. I was, like, pleading to him, 'Can you just stop? I can't breathe.''
She Was Supposed to Testify at Diddy's Trial
Huynh was initially meant to testify against Diddy during his sex trafficking trial, which began in May. Before she publicly identified herself, she was referred to as 'Victim-3' in court documents. Prosecutors later told the court they had lost touch with her attorney and she 'may not show up' for the trial.
She's an Instagram Influencer
Huynh boasts nearly 150,000 followers on Instagram, where she often shares travel and fashion-themed photos.
She Also Dated Floyd Mayweather and Chris Brown
Diddy isn't Huynh's only famous ex — she's also been connected to boxer Mayweather and rapper Brown.
Brown and Huynh were reportedly spotted holding hands in October 2020, though the couple never made things official, and it's unclear when they parted ways.
Huynh and Mayweather were also linked during a break in her relationship with Diddy.
She's 1 Reason Cassie Broke Up With Diddy
Huynh and Diddy allegedly began their relationship in 2014. At that time, the rapper was also in a relationship with Ventura, whom he dated off and on from 2007 to 2018. Ventura later said seeing a photo of Diddy and Huynh contributed to her decision to end things.
'I promised myself I wouldn't be with you anymore if you did that to me again,' Ventura wrote to Diddy in one message that was shared during the trial. She also told Diddy he 'lied' to her and that Huynh 'never went away.'
Huynh reportedly 'leaked' a video of herself and Diddy soon after he and Ventura parted ways, and the pair reconnected in 2021 during a trip to Las Vegas.
She's a Mom
Huynh is the mother of daughter JayVianna. It's unclear who her daughter's father is or when she was born. Huynh shared a series of photos of herself and JayVianna in matching pink gowns on Instagram in August 2020 and captured the snaps, 'You're beautiful like diamonds in the sky 💖.'
In May 2022, Huynh shared a video of herself via Instagram while in the audience at the Billboard Music Awards and captioned it, 'Baby Daddy is hosting Billboards,' a reference to Diddy's role during that year's broadcast.
