Prosecutors claim Diddy 'struck, punched, and shoved' staff members and threatened to kill

Prosecutors have accused Diddy of physically assaulting his staff and threatening to kill them amid legal battles.

A new set of allegations against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has emerged. Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York sent a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, accusing Combs of being violent toward his staff members and romantic partners.

In the letter, which was obtained by *The Mirror*, the prosecutors claimed that Combs had physically assaulted his staff. They further stated that the staff had witnessed the defendant committing similar acts of violence toward others. 

The letter read: "[Staff members] have described the defendant threatening to kill them, throwing objects at them, and being struck, punched, and shoved by the defendant, and seeing him do the same to others."

The report also alleged that Combs had been violent toward women, including kicking, slapping, and dragging them by their hair. The documents further accused him of coercing, manipulating, and extorting women. 

The report additionally stated: "He [intimidated] women, including by displaying firearms, threatening them, showing up at their homes unannounced, and attempting to beat down the door — on one occasion with a hammer."

These accusations have surfaced alongside the multiple lawsuits filed against Combs.

While prosecutors have been seeking to keep the 55-year-old rapper detained, his legal team has made another attempt to secure his release on bail. On November 22, 2024, they submitted a request to the court for his release.

The bail request involved a $50 million bond, along with 24/7 security monitoring. The request also specified that Combs would only be allowed to contact his family and team. As reported by HotNewHipHop, Judge Subramanian has not yet made a decision on the bail request.

If the bail request is denied, Combs will remain detained until his trial begins next year. He is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Prosecutors reportedly argued that Combs would pose a flight risk if released on bail before the trial.

In response to the bail request, US Attorney Damian Williams and his legal team pointed out Combs' "history of obstructive conduct."

The letter further read: "The defendant’s history of obstructive conduct is part and parcel to his decades-long pattern of violence, which must be considered along with his obstructive conduct to fully assess his dangerousness under the Bail Reform Act."
