Sean “Diddy” Combs will spend more than two years in prison, and his lawyer says he could be in serious danger while serving his time. Mark Geragos, who has worked with Diddy for years, said on the 2 Angry Men podcast that Diddy will face the same threats that most people accused of sexual crimes deal with in prison, but worse because he is famous.
Geragos explained that Diddy’s fame makes him an easy target for other inmates, even if he ends up in a minimum-security prison. His comments came after Diddy’s team revealed that someone had already tried to plan an attack on him in jail.
A judge is expected to recommend where Diddy will serve his sentence on Monday, but the final decision will be made by federal prison officials. Geragos said that no matter where he goes, the risk of danger will still be there because high-profile inmates often attract unwanted attention.
At 54, the once-powerful music producer and entrepreneur is now facing a difficult and risky time in prison. His lawyer’s warning shows that being famous might make things even harder for him behind bars.
