Gene Deal claimed Sean “Diddy” Combs paid Gina Huynh $2 million to avoid testifying in his federal case, calling her a “hostile witness.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly shelled out $2 million to keep Gina Huynh from testifying in his federal sex trafficking case, according to his former bodyguard Gene Deal, who claimed in a new interview that prosecutors are struggling to bring her into court because she’s been “paid off.”
“They want the prosecution to hurry up to bring Gina in so Gina could paint the picture that like everything was consenting because she’s been paid off,” Deal said during his appearance on The Art of Dialogue.
Gene Deal, who worked closely with Diddy during the height of his Bad Boy Records era, alleged that Huynh accepted a multimillion-dollar payout and other perks to stay quiet.
“She took the $2 million payment from Diddy,” he added. “I think Diddy may have gave her 2 million or something like that. Got her in school, gave an apartment out in LA. Still was messing with him. Come on, man. Brainwashed.”
Huynh, widely believed to be “Victim-3” in the federal indictment against Diddy, has not been confirmed as a witness in the trial despite being subpoenaed. Prosecutors have acknowledged her role in the case, but her appearance remains uncertain.
“This is the one who disappeared,” Deal added, describing Huynh as a “hostile witness.”
“But she did talk to the federal government,” he added. “They do have emails and everything from her and her lawyer. So she had to be somewhat involved in that.”
Earlier this month, CNN reported that Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told the court Huynh “is out of the case. Gina is not coming.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik pushed back, saying Huynh was “very much a part of this case.”
“The government can call Gina if it wants to,” Agnifilo said. “It might be difficult. It might be hard to do. They are the United States of America. They can get Gina into this courtroom if that is what they want to do.”
The federal trial continues as prosecutors weigh their next steps.
