Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Children Slam ‘Conspiracy Theories’ as Father Awaits Sex Trafficking Trial: We’re ‘Supporting You Every Step of the Way’
Six of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ children have released a statement slamming “conspiracy theories” and standing behind their father as he awaits trial for alleged sex trafficking and racketeering.
A collaborative post shared on Tuesday by Quincy Taylor Brown, Chance Combs, Justin Dior Combs, Christian Combs, Jessie Combs and D’Lila Combs reads: “The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.”

The statement, which captioned a photo of Combs with his family, continued that the six children “stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”
Combs has seven children in total. Justin was born in 1993 to stylist and fashion designer Misa Hylton, while Taylor Brown (born 1991) is the son of the late Kim Porter from her previous relationship whom Combs adopted. Combs and Porter also had Christian in 1998 and twins Jessie and D’Lila in 2006. A few months before the birth of the twins, Combs had another daughter, Chance, with Sarah Chapman. His youngest child is 2-year-old Love, whose mother is Dana Tran (pictured in the Instagram post).
Combs is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., after being arrested on Sept. 16 by Homeland Security on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Combs was denied bail by two separate judges, and is set to remain behind bars until his trial in May of next year. If found guilty of racketeering, Combs could face life in prison.
Combs is also facing over 120 lawsuits. The latest wave of filings came on Sunday, with one suit including the allegation that he drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl with an unnamed “male celebrity” as an unnamed “female celebrity” watched.
Combs has repeatedly denied all allegations against him. Combs’ attorneys said in a previous statement: “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”
