Diddy’s Ex-Girlfriend Gina Huynh Urges Judge to Grant Bail Ahead of Sentencing

Once “Victim-3” in the prosecution’s case, Gina Huynh now defends Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in a personal letter, calling him a changed man and not a threat to the community.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the music mogul recently convicted on federal charges of prostitution-related offenses, has received a surprising show of support from a former girlfriend who was once slated to testify against him.

Virginia “Gina” Huynh, who was referred to as “Victim-3” in the case, had been expected to testify under subpoena. However, prosecutors informed the court just days before trial that Huynh and her attorney had ceased communication and were unreachable. Her absence was noted as a significant development in the prosecution’s strategy. Now, Huynh has resurfaced—not to testify, but to plead for Combs’ release.

In a letter submitted by the defense to support a renewed motion for bail, Huynh publicly identified herself for the first time and expressed a striking reversal of stance. She described Combs as “a committed family man” and emphasized that he has not exhibited violent behavior “for many years.”

“By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior,” Huynh wrote. “I do not view Mr. Combs as a danger to me or to the community.”

The letter forms part of the defense’s reply to the prosecution’s opposition to bail, with Combs’ team arguing he poses no threat and is not a flight risk. They have proposed a $50 million bond for his release.

Combs was convicted by a jury on two counts related to transporting individuals for prostitution, but he was acquitted on the more severe charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. These acquittals spared him the possibility of a life sentence, but his legal troubles are far from over. Sentencing is scheduled for October 3.

In the same filing, Combs’ lawyers also asked the court to either acquit him entirely or grant a new trial, challenging the constitutional validity of his conviction under the Mann Act. “This conviction stands alone, but it should not stand at all,” wrote attorney Alexandra Shapiro in a 62-page brief.

While Huynh’s statement marks a dramatic shift, other key witnesses have urged the court to keep Combs in custody. Cassie Ventura—whose testimony and video evidence of physical abuse were central to the prosecution—argued that Combs’ release would jeopardize her safety. Former assistant George Kaplan also testified to witnessing Combs physically assaulting Huynh, describing an incident where he threw apples at her in his Miami residence.

Despite these accounts, Huynh’s letter paints a different image of Combs. She acknowledged their tumultuous history but said he had changed by the end of their relationship. Her declaration that she does not fear him contradicts other victims’ sentiments, introducing a complex dynamic into the court’s upcoming bail decision.

As October nears, the court will weigh both testimonies: the harrowing claims of past abuse and the pleas for leniency from someone once considered a key accuser. Whether Gina Huynh’s letter will sway the judge remains to be seen—but it adds a surprising twist to one of the year’s most closely watched celebrity legal cases.
