Criminal psychiatrists are weighing in on the allegations against Diddy. Is this Mental Illness?
At this point, everyone is familiar with Puff Diddy (Sean John Combs): a 54-year-old hip-hop mogul, founder of a major hip-hop label and linked to iconic artists, such as Biggie Smalls. Many artists came up with hints about his parties and personality, some of them even accusing him of being a rapist in their lyrics.
As you might have seen in the news, his Empire seems to be going down now. He is currently on trial, the suspect of leading a criminal organization responsible for kidnapping, forced labor, bribery, obstruction of justice, and s*x trafficking. He might deny all allegations, but a leaked video showing him brutally beating his girlfriend Cassie (Casandra Elizabeth Ventura, American singer signed at Bad Boy Records) cannot be overlooked. Their breakup was tumultuous and marked by gossip, with Cassie alleging that after her attempt to leave him, she was left with bruises, black eyes, split lips, and bleeding. According to her, his lifestyle included excessive alcohol and substance abuse.
Cassie’s experience shed light on the darker aspects of his life, as authorities found narcotics, three AR-15 rifles with defaced serial numbers, and ammunition in his home, aligning with what Cassie said about his erratic behavior.
When confronted with the evidence, Diddy apologized, claiming to take full responsibility for his actions, and expressed a desire for mercy and grace from God. He stated he is seeking professional help through therapy and rehab.
However, there is a crucial distinction between seeking help to improve public image and actually being genuinely willing to examine your personality flaws and fix them. He said it was “so difficult to reflect during the darkest times of your life, but sometimes you have to do that”, claiming he hit rock bottom and is making no excuses.
