On August 3, 2025, Virginia “Gina” Huynh, previously known as Victim-3 in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal indictment, submitted a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian urging the court to grant bail for Combs.
In her letter, which was reported by People Magazine, Huynh publicly revealed her identity for the first time and stressed Combs’ role as a “family man.” She argued that he poses no threat to the public and is committed to his responsibilities. The letter was submitted by Combs’ defence team as they seek a $50 million bond ahead of his sentencing scheduled for October 3.
Huynh described Combs as having evolved from past mistakes, stating, “By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience, and gentleness.” She highlighted his cooperation during the investigation, noting this is his “first criminal case” and assuring compliance with release conditions. “He has substantial ties to his family and community, including children who depend on him,” she wrote, arguing that home release would aid healing for all involved.

Combs was convicted on July 2, 2025, of two counts of transportation for prostitution but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Despite Huynh’s support, Judge Subramanian denied bail, citing Combs’ history of domestic violence as a potential risk. Prosecutors previously noted they lost contact with Huynh, who never testified, adding complexity to the case. Combs remains at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn.
Huynh’s letter introduces a new perspective on Combs’ character amid a high-profile case, potentially influencing public and judicial views. The bail debate underscores tensions in balancing legal accountability with personal ties.
