Sean “Diddy” Combs no longer on suicide watch, receives family visit in jail

Sean “Diddy” Combs is no longer under intensive surveillance at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, sources told Fox Information Digital.

The fallen music mogul is “off suicide watch,” a source with knowledge of the situation told Fox News Digital.

More than a week ago, Combs, 54, was placed on routine suicide watch, with an internal source confirming it was “common practice for high-profile individuals as they are admitted to a federal establishment and is not indicative of his psychological state.

Additionally, the source confirmed that “his family visited him in jail.” It is unclear which members of his family were present during the visit.

The Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center has housed several high-profile detainees, including R. Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell. In 2022, Kelly was placed on suicide watch in a federal detention center after being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Diddy was arrested on Monday, September 16 and charged the next day with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by coercion, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper pleaded not guilty hours after an indictment detailing his alleged sex crimes was revealed.

If convicted, he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison or a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The “I’ll Be Lacking You” singer was twice denied bail, even after proposing a $50 million bail proposal that included GPS surveillance of his home on Star Island in Miami. Diddy’s team attempted to show the judge he was not a flight risk through his communications with the U.S. Attorney’s Office during the ongoing investigation.

Additionally, Diddy handed over his passport to his lawyer on April 1. His mother, Janice, and children Probability, Jessie, D’Lila and Love Combs each surrendered their passports under the proposed release on bail.

The defense also proposed the fairness of Diddy’s residence on Star Island in Miami Seashore, Florida, valued at $48,000,000, as well as the equity in his mother’s Miami home.

U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Carter raised the possibility that Diddy was tampering with witnesses in his reasoning for denying bail. The judge acknowledged that the prosecution had proven “by clear and convincing evidence that no single situation or set of situations existed” to ensure the safety of the community.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson highlighted Diddy’s long history of intimidation against his accusers and witnesses to his alleged abuse. Johnson claimed that text messages showed Combs forcing his victims to participate in sexual encounters that he described as “freak offs.” The rapper allegedly recorded the sexual acts and then used the videos as leverage to justify his silence.

Authorities claimed Diddy ran a criminal enterprise through his businesses, including Dangerous Boy Leisure, Combs Enterprises and Combs World, among others. He used “firearms, threats of violence, coercion and verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse” to gratify his sexual desires, according to the unsealed indictment obtained by Fox Information Digital.

Diddy and his employees “intimidated, threatened, and lured female victims into Comb’s orbit, often under the guise of a romantic relationship.” Combs then allegedly used pressure, threats of pressure, and coercion to get the victims to engage in prolonged sexual acts with sex workers that Combs called, among other things, “Freak Offs.” Diddy often provided intravenous fluids to his victims after “freak offs” to recover from physical exertion and drug use, according to the indictment.

During searches of Diddy’s home in March, authorities seized “panic supplies” as well as three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, court documents said.

Law enforcement officials also seized “cases and cases of personal lubricants and baby oil that Diddy’s staff allegedly used to stock hotel rooms for weirdos, amounting to more than 1,000 bottles the whole thing,” Williams said at a news conference.
