These acts of violence included kidnapping and arson.”Combs’ initial court appearance saw a judge order him to be held without bail, citing “very significant concerns” about his reported substance abuse and “anger issues.”An appeal led to Diddy’s three sons Quincy Brown, Christian “King” Combs, and Justin Combs co-signing a $50 million bail proposal.A second judge a day later once again denied the plea and ruled Diddy would remain jailed pending trial.The Metropolitan Detention Center where the hit producer and rapper is being held is synonymous with rat infestations, violent outbreaks, and being understaffed.The jail has a capacity of 1,600 inmates, often with celebrities among them.Two of the most high profile inmates include fellow musician R Kelly  and Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged acquaintance Ghislaine Maxwell.It comes as a Diddy accuser’s attorney has claimed a high-profile person was seen alongside the music mogul in a pornographic video.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe footage is said to be a pornographic film that allegedly shows someone “more high-profile” than the rapper and founder of Bad Boy, alongside the troubled hip-hop mogul.Ariel Mitchell-Kidd would not reveal who was the person in the video, allegedly shot in Diddy’s Atlanta mansion.What happened during Sean Combs’ ‘Freak Offs’?SEAN Combs’ infamous drug-fuelled freak offs, first revealed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit in November 2023, have become a central narrative of the indictment.The allegations include:The music mogul “manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers.”Freak offs “occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers.”Combs “distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant.”He and the victims “typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use” after the freak offs.Cops “seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” from his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.Combs “hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” during and separate from the freak offs, which “often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal.”He also used the “sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings” that he made during freak offs as “collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims.”Diddy with Victoria Beckham in 2003Credit: Selma FonsecaDiddy at one of his house partiesCredit: AlamyIf Combs is convicted and receives the maximum sentence, he faces life in prisonCredit: GettyA court sketch of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs More
