Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had a festive meltdown in a notorious prison hell because he couldn’t believe he was still behind bars there, it has been claimed.
A panicked Diddy reportedly pleaded with guards to take him to a prison hospital for observation, claiming he thought he was having a nervous breakdown on Thursday.
Guards at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center rejected his request, according to a source close to the rapper who was locked up in September.
“With his powerful legal team, Diddy thought he would be out on bail by now,” the source said.
‘Spending the holidays behind bars was a nightmare for him. He finally managed to calm himself down with the meditation technique he has been using while behind bars. It took him a few hours of deep breathing and concentration to get out of the bad place he was in, but he finally did it.’
A source close to Diddy, however, denied the claims, telling DailyMail.com that the rapper is staying strong in jail, despite missing his family a lot at Christmas, which is a time he always spends with his children. .
Diddy’s alleged meltdown comes as a judge ruled that an Alabama woman who says she was raped by Jay-Z and Diddy Combs when she was 13 can proceed anonymously, for now, in her lawsuit against the rap moguls.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs collapsed in prison on Christmas and asked guards to get him medical help, a source told DailyMail.com.
The rapper is being held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center while awaiting trial.
Diddy, 55, was arrested and charged Sept. 16 with sex trafficking, extortion and transportation for prostitution.
As DailyMail.com previously reported, Diddy faced a ‘gloomy’ Christmas in a Brooklyn jail. The disgraced music mogul allegedly continues to refuse to eat while locked up as he awaits his criminal trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
In a recent court appearance, Combs was reportedly described as “shockingly thinner” and “grayer” after spending the last three months behind bars.
While cameras were not allowed in federal court, Law & Crime reporter Elizabeth Millnew described Combs looking completely different than how he appeared on video playing hacky sack in Central Park just days before he was arrested on September 16.
He also faces the indignity of being overshadowed in the Detention Center by another prisoner now more famous than him and more popular with the general public.
Luigi Mangione, 26, is being held at the same facility after being charged with the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York in December. Mangione last week pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Diddy remains jailed in New York awaiting a criminal trial on federal sex trafficking charges. He also faces a wave of sexual assault lawsuits, many of which were filed by the plaintiff’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, a Texas lawyer who says his firm represents more than 150 people, both men and women, who allege abuse and sexual exploitation by Combs.
The lawsuits allege that many people were abused at parties in New York, California and Florida after being given drugged drinks.
Diddy’s lawyers have dismissed Buzbee’s lawsuits as “blatant publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear lies will be spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs.” Jay-Z has said in a statement that Buzbee is trying to blackmail him to resolve the Alabama woman’s allegations.
In her lawsuit, the woman who says she was raped when she was 13 identifies herself as Jane Doe. She said she was living in Rochester in 2000 when she headed to New York City and befriended a limo driver who took her to an MTV Music Awards after-party, where she says she was ultimately attacked by Jay-Z and Combs. . .
In their court filing Wednesday, Carter’s attorneys cited a recent television interview with NBC News in which his accuser acknowledged inconsistencies in her story.
Alex Spiro, Jay-Z’s attorney, asked the judge to dismiss the artist from the woman’s lawsuit and requested a hearing on the case for the day after he submitted his written requests on December 18.
Citing an interview the plaintiff did on NBC-TV, Spiro wrote that the broadcast revealed “glaring inconsistencies and utter impossibilities” in the plaintiff’s story.
The woman has admitted inconsistencies in her story.
Torres wrote in his Thursday order that Spiro, who has been on the case less than three weeks, has filed a “litany of letters and motions attempting to impugn the character of plaintiff’s counsel, many of them exposing the alleged “urgency” of this case.’
Referring to Jay-Z by his legal last name, the judge added: “Carter’s attorney’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources and a tactic unlikely to benefit to his client.” The Court will not expedite the judicial process simply because the lawyer demands it.’
