## Diddy's Mother Denounces "Lynching" in Son's Defense
Janice Combs, the mother of rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, has broken her silence on the allegations of sex trafficking and other crimes leveled against her son. In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, Combs expressed her outrage over the public condemnation of her son, asserting that he deserves to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

"It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies," Combs wrote. "To bear witness to what seems to be a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words."
Combs emphasized her son's right to due process, urging the public to withhold judgment until he has his day in court. "Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence," she stated.

In her statement, Combs admitted that her son has made mistakes in the past, including denying allegations of domestic violence. However, she argued that these admissions should not be used to convict him of the more serious charges he now faces.
"Sometimes, the truth and a lie become so closely intertwined that it becomes terrifying to admit one part of the story, especially when that truth is outside the norm or is too complicated to be believed," Combs explained. "This is why I believe my son's civil legal team opted to settle the ex-girlfriend's lawsuit instead of contesting it until the end, resulting in a ricochet effect as the federal government used this decision against my son by interpreting it as an admission of guilt."

Combs expressed concern that individuals with financial motives may be exploiting the allegations against her son. "These individuals saw how quickly my son's civil legal team settled his ex-girlfriend's lawsuit, so they believe they can receive a quick payday by falsely accusing my son," she said.
The federal government, according to Combs, has engaged in similar tactics in its prosecution of her son. She described the ordeal as "unbearable" for their family.

"The worst part of this ordeal is watching my beloved son be stripped of his dignity, not for what he did, but for what people choose to believe about him," Combs stated. "I beg you to think about those who have been wrongfully persecuted, to remember that not everyone who has made mistakes in life deserves to have their entire existence judged by a single action or a few mistakes."
Prior to the U.S. Attorney's press conference in September, Combs' attorney indicated that they plan to fight for the rapper's release. If convicted, Combs faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum sentence of life in prison.
