US EditionDiddy May Seek Home Confinement Instead of Prison, Attorney Says
NEW YORK, AUG 8 – Diddy's legal team plans to request home confinement to provide better access to therapy for anger management and substance abuse before his October 3 sentencing.
- On Friday, August 8, 2025, Marc Agnifilo said he may seek home confinement instead of prison for Sean 'Diddy' Combs, whose sentencing is scheduled for October 3rd.
- By highlighting therapy needs, the team says Combs requires anger management and substance abuse programs unavailable in prison, as Agnifilo argued that home confinement offers better access to support.
- Building on the therapy argument, the defense recruited professionals to oversee Diddy's treatment plan, Agnifilo said, to support his client's transition outside prison.
- Agnifilo intends to request home confinement for Diddy, arguing he is already seeking counseling for drug dependency and anger management, to include therapy in supervised release.
- Amid high public interest and rumors, Nicole Westmoreland told CNN the team has held conversations with the Trump administration about a possible pardon, sparking debate over celebrity privilege.
