Diddy’s Lawyer May Ask That He Serve Sentence from Home — and Says He Needs Counseling for These Problems

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorneys could ask that the music mogul be sentenced to home confinement.

Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ lead attorney, spoke to TMZ about his client’s post-verdict life as he awaits sentencing, which is scheduled for Oct. 3. As his legal team puts together a sentencing memorandum, Agnifilo said it is very possible they request home confinement.

“I am certainly going to be asking the judge, as a condition of his supervised release that he have appropriate counseling and therapy,” Agnifilo told TMZ. “I think he needs it, I think he thinks he needs it.”

Agnifilo further stated that home confinement was “possibly” something that could happen.

Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July, but was acquitted on more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering following a lengthy, closely watched trial.

He is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he has been since he was denied bail following his September 2024 arrest and then again after his conviction.

Agnifilo added that Combs is seeking counseling and noted that he entered a “batterer’s program” prior to his arrest last year. According to TMZ, Agnifilo also said Combs wants treatment for substance abuse and anger issues.

The Bad Boy Records founder also has therapists lined up upon his eventual release, Agnifilo said.

Combs could still face several years in prison, and his fate ultimately lies in the hands of Judge Arun Subramanian, who oversaw his federal trial.
