Following his New York City arrest, Kristin Chenoweth is “still praying” for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The legendary Broadway actress has spoken out about the allegations facing the music mogul, who is currently in federal custody without bail awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
Speaking to TMZ, Chenoweth stated that she is “still praying” for Combs, adding that the charges against him are “really bad”.
The former Wicked star’s statements come months after she started holding the embattled rapper in her thoughts following shocking footage of him physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura circulated on social media.
Taking to social media in May, Kristin explained via X that she was praying for the hip-hop star because of her own history of abuse, writing:
“Honestly i have my reasons for the Sean Combs video bothering me so much.””The main thing i need to do is pray for him. For real.” “There is no excuse no matter what his defense is. Heartbreaking i used to love him.”
After facing online criticism for her comments, Chenoweth explained that while the video made her “sick”, she had no intention of deleting her tweets, writing:
“I can’t delete it.” “Believe me i was sick when i saw it and so thankful she was ok. He is NOT. He is ill. Sick. Only God can forgive him. So forgive me but that’s how i think. And pray. Xo.”
In September Combs was arrested at a Manhattan hotel following a series of sexual assault allegations, all of which he has since denied.
A month after being denied bail for the second time, Combs’ lawyers filed a new motion on November 8 seeking bail for the rapper, claiming new evidence could allow him to be released before his trial.
