Sean ' Diddy ' Combs has received support from an unlikely ally in his fight to escape lengthy prison time as one of his alleged victims urged a judge to free him.
The disgraced music mogul, who was recently acquitted of serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges, still faces up to 10 years behind bars after he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
But his ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh, who was identified as 'Victim Number 3' and was initially expected to testify against him before going MIA at his trial, has penned a letter to the court supporting Diddy's bid for bail.
'I do not view Mr Combs as a danger to me or the community,' she wrote in the letter, seen by the Daily Mail.
'To my knowledge, he has not been violent for many years and he has been committed to being a father first.'
Huynh wrote in her supporting letter that by the time she and Diddy had ended their relationship, he 'embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior.'
'Our relationship, like many, was not always perfect,' she noted. 'We experienced ups and downs, and mistakes were made, but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future.
'Over the years that followed, he made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused.'
Huynh mysteriously went MIA during his high profile trial, taking no part in it despite earlier expectations she would act as a star witness for the prosecution.
Prosecutors told the judge they were unable to get in touch with 'Victim 3' when she was due to appear.
Her testimony was supposed to bolster the prosecution's case against the Diddy and support the racketeering and sex-trafficking charges he was acquitted of.
Jurors ultimately cleared him of three charges, two of which carried a mandatory 15 years and a maximum of life.
The day before the verdict was handed down, TMZ asked Huynh if the thought of a potential acquittal made her fear for her life.
'He never did anything dangerous to me. I'm not scared,' she said, contradicting previous claims she had been the victim of abuse.
In 2019, she claimed the mogul once 'stomped' on her stomach and repeatedly punched her in the head during one disturbing encounter.
'He stomped on my stomach really hard — like, took the wind out of my breath,' Gina said in her interview with controversial blogger Tasha K.
'I couldn't breathe. He kept hitting me. I was pleading to him, "Can you just stop? I can't breathe."'
Huynh claimed at the time that Diddy had punched her in the head at other times, and her hair would cover signs of her injuries.
'He was mentally, emotionally and physically abusing me,' she also claimed. 'He would always compare me to Cassie and tell me that I'm the bad one, she's a good one.'
The pair met in 2013 in Las Vegas. Their romance began a year later and, according to Huynh, they dated for five years.
Diddy is waiting to learn his fate for the charges he was convicted of.
He was found guilty of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act.
His defense lawyers said that under federal sentencing guidelines, he would likely face about two years in prison.
Prosecutors, citing Diddy's violence and other factors, said the guidelines would call for at least four to five years.
Locked up since his September arrest, Diddy has already served nine months.
'We fight on and we're going to win,' Agnifilo said. 'And we're not going to stop until he walks out of prison a free man to his family.'
