Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' latest bid for bail denied as judge rules he can't go home to await sentencing
Sean 'Diddy' Combs can't go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges — racketeering and sex trafficking — while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offense.

REUTERS In denying Combs' $50 million bond proposal, Judge Arun Subramanian said the hip hop impresario had failed to prove that he did not pose a risk of flight or danger, adding that the record did not show an 'exceptional circumstance' that would justify his release after a conviction that otherwise requires detention. Combs' arguments 'might have traction in a case that didn't involve evidence of violence, coercion, or subjugation in connection with the acts of prostitution at issue, but the record here contains evidence of all three,' the judge wrote.

REUTERS Messages seeking comment were sent to prosecutors and one of Combs' lawyers. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines aren't mandatory, and Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. Advertisement 4 The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. REUTERS The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a protean figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalize consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defense acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged.

AP Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend.' The defense's most recent proposal included the $50 million bond, plus travel restrictions, and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimize his recent violent conduct — demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision.'

Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver's ‘Marriage Story' being used to scare wolves from killing cattle across US
Nothing drives wild animals away faster than hearing actors scream about divorce. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver's 2019 film 'Marriage Story' is being used by the United States Department of Agriculture to keep wolves away from killing cattle, according to The Wall Street Journal. 'Riding to the rescue are drone cowhands, whose quadcopters have thermal cameras that can reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it in a spotlight,' the outlet reported.

Netflix 8 Scarlett Johansson as Nicole and Adam Driver as Charlie in 'Marriage Story.' AP 'A loudspeaker broadcasts alarming sounds like fireworks, gunshots and people arguing,' it continued. 'One recording is of the fight between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie 'Marriage Story.'' Advertisement The practice of using loud noises to scare off endangered species of animals, dubbed 'wolf hazing,' is not new, but the idea of using Noah Baumbach's Oscar-nominated drama certainly is. 'Marriage Story,' which stars Johansson, 40, and Driver, 41, as a couple going through an ugly divorce and custody battle over their son, received critical acclaim when it was released in theatres and on Netflix. 8 Adam Driver as Charlie and Scarlett Johansson as Nicole in 'Marriage Story.' Jose Perez / 8 'Marriage Story' stars Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver as a couple going through an ugly divorce and custody battle over their son AP Advertisement The focal point of the film unfolds when Nicole (Johansson) and Charlie (Driver) scream at each other for four minutes amid the complete breakdown of their relationship. While the scene was so intense that it earned the 'Black Widow' star and 'House of Gucci' actor nominations at the 2020 Academy Awards, it has also reportedly saved countless cows and other livestock targeted by gray wolves. 'Drones were deployed in the Klamath Basin of southern Oregon after 11 cows were killed by wolves there in a 20-day period,' the WSJ reported. 'Over the next 85 days, when drones were on patrol, only two were killed.' 8 Scarlett Johansson at the JW Marriott Essex House on June 25, 2025, in New York City.

WireImage A USDA district supervisor in Oregon told the outlet that the argument from 'Marriage Story' – as well as AC/DC's blaring 1990 hit 'Thunderstruck' – works just as well, and if not better, than recordings of fireworks and gunshots. 'I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,' they explained. The Post has reached out to Johansson and Driver's reps for comment. 8 Scarlett Johansson as Nicole and Adam Driver as Charlie in 'Marriage Story.' AP 8 Adam Driver as Charlie and Scarlett Johansson as Nicole in 'Marriage Story.' LRNYC / MEGA 'Marriage Story' was unironically lauded as 'the best war movie of the year' in 2019, and Laura Dern went on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of family law attorney Nora Fanshaw. Director Noah Baumbach, during an interview with Awards Daily upon the film's release, revealed that he always knew the movie would be called 'Marriage Story' – even despite it being about a divorce. Advertisement 'It was the title I had from the beginning,' he explained. 'It took me a long time to fully commit to it. It's interesting about the movie; it didn't take a poetic title. It always felt like 'Marriage Story' was the right thing; in some ways, it's both specific and generic at the same time.' 'Also, the narrative of marriage,' Baumbach continued. 'What is a marriage? Who gets to tell the story of a marriage? Is a marriage a marriage if it's over? All these questions are embedded in that title.'
