Sean Diddy Combs Faces Panic Attacks in Prison, Insider Claims

Insiders told Radar Online that Sean “Diddy” Combs, 55, is having panic attacks in prison. He was convicted in July 2025 on two counts related to transporting women for prostitution. The women included his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and another woman called “Jane.”

Diddy was cleared of more serious charges like sex trafficking and racketeering. But the insider said he is “a broken wreck” and lives in fear of attacks by other inmates.

“He thought he’d be a cult figure in prison,” the source said. “But inmates treat him with contempt and call him a creepy Hollywood figure.” Diddy also believes guards target him and complains about the poor quality of food and harsh treatment.

The insider added that Diddy has trouble sleeping. He is scared of fellow inmates and barely eats. “He feels treated worse than a rat,” the source said, describing his poor mental and physical health.

Diddy’s legal troubles began with a long trial that ended in July 2025. Although he avoided life in prison, his prison stay has caused growing concern among his friends. They say he is now “a shadow of himself.”
