The home that Combs bought for $14.5 million has nine bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.

Star Island is a secluded community that can only be accessed by boat or a bridge.
What happened during Sean Combs' 'freak offs'?
Sean Combs' infamous drug-fueled freak offs, first revealed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's lawsuit in November 2023, have become a central narrative of the indictment, which alleges:
The music mogul “manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers.” Freak offs “occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers.” Combs “distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant.” He and the victims “typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use” after the freak offs. Cops “seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” from his homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Combs “hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” during and separate from the freak offs, which “often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal.” He also used the “sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings” that he made during freak offs as “collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims.”“It is comprised of the most beautiful homes, and the surrounding area is manicured to perfection,” Realtor Ivan Chorney told Fox Business.
The home is almost shielded by greenery, but the complex has features such as swimming pools and outdoor entertaining spaces.
Fed agents spent more than eight hours combing the home on March 25 2024, and were seen holding boxes of evidence before loading it onto vehicles.
Cops showed up to the complex at around 3:30pm local time and didn’t leave until after midnight.

But, before he was taken into custody he paid off an $18.8 million mortgage on the home, per The New York Post.
He was initially hit with charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
“Sean Combs used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women, as well as to commit other acts of violence and obstruction of justice,” Damian Williams, The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said.
Combs was hit with two extra charges just weeks before the trial got underway.
During the defense’s opening arguments, Combs team admitted his conduct could be “kinky.”
They claimed his relationships were part of a so-called swingers lifestyle.
Teny Geragos stressed that the so-called freak offs were consensual.
“Sean Combs is a complicated man but this is not a complicated case,” she told the court.
“This case is about love, jealousy, infidelity and money.
“The case is about voluntary adult choices made by capable adults in consensual relationships.”
Sordid details emerged from prosecutors as they made their opening arguments.
GRAPHIC TESTIMONY
On Monday, prosecutors claimed Combs made a male escort perform disgusting sex acts with his ex-partner Cassie Ventura.
Daniel Phillip, a male escort, claimed he was paid thousands of dollars to have sex with Ventura while Combs watched and pleasured himself.
He said he was paid anywhere from $700 to a whopping $6,000 for the sessions and said they could last for up to 10 hours.
While on the stand, Phillip also claimed that he saw Combs violently attack Ventura.
The escort claimed the mogul hurled a liquor bottle and was physically violent – grabbing her by the hair and dragging her.
While on the stand, Phillip claimed he never reported Combs to the cops.
“I tried to explain to her that she’s in real danger if she stays with him,” he told the jury.
STAR WITNESS
Heavily-pregnant Ventura, the prosecution’s star witness, took the stand on Tuesday and Wednesday. She will now be cross-examined.
She filed a lawsuit in 2023, alleging that she had been subject to a decade-long cycle of abuse and sex trafficking.
During her testimony, she claimed that she was humiliated during the so-called freak offs.
She also shared details of the drugs involved during the marathon sex sessions, and claimed the longest freak-off lasted four days.
Ventura told the court she used drugs to numb herself and divulged how Combs allegedly controlled her.
“Sean controlled a lot of my life,” she said.
“Whether it was career, the way I dressed, everything, everything.”
Four alleged victims are expected to testify during the trial.
Combs faces life in prison if he’s convicted of racketeering.

By Israel S-Rodriguez, Senior News Reporter at The U.S. Sun:
The federal sex trafficking trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs began with jury selection on May 5.
Combs is standing trial at the Southern District of New York Courthouse in Lower Manhattan – an intimidating federal courthouse where the cases of Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, and Bernard Madoff, among others, were tried.
Once a powerful founder of a music and business empire, Combs has been reduced to a defendant, inmate 37452-054, stripped of his mogul status, and now standing trial on five federal charges with the full wrath of the United States government against him.
When I attended Day 3 of jury selection at the federal courthouse on May 7, the buzz around the start of the trial was palpable.
Hours before the courthouse opened its doors, more than a dozen reporters and members of the public stood in line in hopes of securing a seat in the gallery for the high-profile trial.
As you walk through the glass door entrance of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, you are met by bulletproof vest-clad court officers.
All visitors must separate their electronic devices from their personal belongings, which are passed through a metal detector.
Visitors walk through a metal detector before a court officer hands them a poker chip.
The courthouse uses a poker chip system to sort the number of electronic devices visitors are in possession of.
Electronic devices, such as Bluetooth-powered headphones, voice recorders, laptops, cellphones, and smart watches, are confiscated before you’re allowed to enter the courthouse’s main hallway.
As about a half-dozen reporters and I waited in the gallery for jury selection, we witnessed how Combs entered the courtroom shackle-free.
Combs entered with his hands pressed together, greeted his defense team before he examined the gallery, and locked eyes with reporters and potential jurors.
The 55-year-old disgraced Bad Boy Records executive was attentive and engaged with his counsel as they grilled dozens of potential jurors.
As jury selection wrapped up for the day, Combs embraced each of his female defense attorneys before he mouthed “thank you” to a handful of supporters in the gallery.
I attended trial again as opening statements got underway on May 12 and the world media waited anxiously outside the federal courthouse before the sun rose in Lower Manhattan.
A line stretched down the block from the federal courthouse as some members of the media and from the public camped out overnight to try to obtain a coveted seat inside the gallery.
At least three overflow rooms were made available for reporters and the public, who are eager to witness the prosecutions case against the music mogul.
At least half a dozen members of Combs’ family arrived at the courthouse as spectators filed in single order to enter the federal building to turn over all their electronic devices.
Combs’ trial is being held on the 26th floor in Judge Arun Subramanian’s courtroom and is expected to last for eight weeks.
We’ll bring it all to you on The U.S. Sun.
