former NBA star Stephon Marbury recently spoke out on the allegations facing Sean “Diddy”Combs, highlighting the defense put forth by Combs’ mother, Janice.
Combs has found himself entangled in serious legal troubles, facing charges related to racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Following his arrest, over 120 additional sexual assault charges were brought forward after a Texas attorney’s call for information garnered responses from more than 3,000 individuals. Among these new allegations is a claim from a victim who was just nine years old at the time of the incident. While the latest updates have taken many by surprise, whispers of misconduct have lingered around Combs for years, albeit without any repercussions until now. Attorney Tony Buzbee has indicated that other prominent celebrities may have been aware of or involved in Combs’ alleged offenses.
With the surfacing of these allegations, numerous celebrities with connections to Combs have attempted to distance themselves from him. In stark contrast, Combs’ mother has publicly supported her son. In an extensive Instagram post, she expressed her heartbreak over the perception of her son being judged based on a narrative she believes is filled with lies. Although she conceded that he is “not perfect,” Janice firmly denied the validity of the accusations against him, asserting that his alleged victims are merely after financial compensation. Marbury did not hold back in his response to Janice’s defense.
Stephon Marbury Responds to Janice Combs’ Support for Sean Combs
Marbury recently shared his thoughts on the circumstances surrounding Combs. Having previously been friends with Combs and attended his early parties, Marbury speculated that some of Combs’ actions stemmed from a desire to maintain his image and elevate his status—an ambition evident from the inception of his career. He also redirected his focus to Janice Combs, criticizing her public defense of her son as “not a good look.”
The former player claimed Janice must be cognizant of her son’s actions, stating, “You gotta know what your son is doing. This ain’t no secret. Everybody knows this.” He suggested that, even if she was not fully informed of the gravity of Combs’ actions, she was certainly aware of the allegations, including those related to the Cassie Ventura case, remarking that this was not the first occasion Combs had reportedly harmed a woman. Marbury highlighted the notion that these allegations had been an open secret within the industry, insisting, “This ain’t nothing new. The parties… all this stuff your son is doing. And that ain’t the first time he kicked a woman in her face… that doesn’t look like the first time you’ve given out an a** whooping… you’re a professional at that…”
Marbury expressed his astonishment at the situation, questioning rhetorically, “Are we really believing this? Are we really seeing this?” Although there is no evidence confirming Janice’s knowledge of her son’s alleged misconduct, it is likely she had heard about previous allegations. Her statement acknowledges the Ventura case; however, she interprets Combs’ choice to settle as a mere misunderstanding rather than an admission to wrongdoing. It is disconcerting that, despite hearing numerous disturbing claims from multiple victims, she chooses to dismiss them.
In her message, she asserts Combs is innocent until proven guilty, calling for others to reserve judgment until the trial concludes. Yet, she applies a different standard to the victims, accusing them of lying and seeking financial benefits even before they have had the chance to present their cases in court. While it is valid for her to express uncertainty regarding her son’s guilt or innocence, aligning with someone potentially guilty of numerous heinous crimes is, as Marbury stated, a questionable choice.
Ultimately, Sean Combs must answer for his actions, but Janice’s defense illustrates how parents can sometimes play a detrimental role as enablers. Whether it’s the parents of Chris Watts, Brian Laundrie, or Combs’ own mother, many parents seem more invested in their children’s public image rather than pursuing justice for the victims of their offspring’s alleged actions. Janice must have watched the disturbing footage involving Ventura, and her choice to merely characterize it as her son not being “perfect” is alarming.
