As Sean “Diddy” Combs awaits sentencing in his high-profile federal case, one of the women prosecutors once labeled a victim is now speaking out — and defending the hip-hop mogul.
Virginia Huynh, better known as “Gina” during the trial, says she was pressured by federal prosecutors to play the role of “Victim 3” in Diddy’s Mann Act indictment. But in a powerful new letter to the judge, she insists she was never trafficked, never prostituted, and never a victim of the Bad Boy founder.
Gina Calls Out Prosecutors for Pressure
In her letter, Gina explains she met with prosecutors three separate times and handed over everything she had — photos, videos, and text messages. She says she answered every question truthfully, only to feel as if she was being pushed into a narrative that didn’t reflect her reality.
“I told them I was not a victim,” Gina wrote, “but they kept insisting I was.”
She says prosecutors repeatedly claimed she had been sex trafficked and forced into prostitution by Diddy — allegations she flatly denies.
“I Was Never a Victim”
Instead, Gina stands firm: she was never trafficked, nor did she ever engage in prostitution with Diddy or anyone else.
She says if she had been called to testify, she would have taken the stand to tell her truth — a truth she feels the prosecution ignored in order to strengthen their case.
A Complicated History
You may recall, Gina was expected to testify for the government, but just before trial prosecutors told the court they had lost contact with her and her attorney. That move raised eyebrows at the time, and now her new letter sheds light on what may have happened behind the scenes.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Gina has spoken up on Diddy’s behalf. Earlier this year, she wrote a letter to the court under her real name asking the judge to grant Diddy bail.
What’s Next for Diddy
Diddy was convicted in July on two counts of violating the Mann Act — the federal law prohibiting the transport of individuals across state lines for prostitution. He faces a potential 11-year sentence, though his team is pushing for something much lighter: closer to 14 months, with credit for the time he’s already served.
Diddy’s sentencing is set for Friday, October 3 at 10 AM ET, before Judge Arun Subramanian in federal court.
The Bigger Picture
With Gina’s latest statement, the already tangled case surrounding Diddy has become even murkier. While prosecutors argue he used power and influence to exploit women, one of their own alleged “victims” is now publicly challenging the government’s narrative.
Her letter could complicate the perception of the case ahead of sentencing, though it remains unclear whether the judge will weigh her words against the testimony of others who accused the music mogul of abuse and exploitation.
For now, all eyes are on Brooklyn federal court — and on whether Diddy will walk out a free man sooner rather than later.
