TMZ broke the story… Diddy was arrested on Monday night at the Park Hyatt hotel in midtown Manhattan, where he was staying. Police sources tell TMZ … that the arrest was supposed to happen on Tuesday, but something happened to speed it up.
Aubrey O’DayThe actress, who had a contentious relationship with Diddy while filming “Making the Band,” told TMZ: “I never thought I’d see this day. We all buried this inside of ourselves so we could move on. And not just me, but victims you don’t even know yet. We’re all processing what this kind of vindication might actually look like right now. Every conversation I had with the victims last night was beyond emotional on every level.”
Homeland Security showed up Monday night and took Diddy into custody. He is scheduled to appear before a federal judge on Tuesday, where the charges will be read.
Diddy’s lawyer told TMZ: “Sean Diddy Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the black community. He is a flawed person, but he is not a criminal.”
