Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex rips alleged 'militarized force' used on sons in L.A. raid

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ former girlfriend has called out federal agents for allegedly using “militarized force” during a raid of the hip hop mogul’s homes last month for a sex-trafficking investigation.

On Tuesday, Misa Hylton shared to social media security camera footage of Combs’ Los Angeles home being raided by Homeland Security agents, and railed against what she said was a heavy-handed sting operation which saw Justin Combs, 30, and his brother Christian “King” Combs, 26, handcuffed.

The video shows heavily armed agents getting out of two armoured vehicles after entering Combs’ Los Angeles property.

“The overzealous and overtly militarized force used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable,” Hylton, 51, wrote on Instagram. “If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young BLACK MEN is despicable!”

Hylton, a stylist and fashion designer, highlighted lasers pointed as Justin’s chest. The clip also showed agents holding a gun to the back of Christian’s head while he was being handcuffed.

Later in the video, an agent is seen forcing one of the handcuffed men to walk backwards outside the home.

“How many times have we seen young UNARMED BLACK MEN not make it out of these types of situations alive?”

She added a lawyer was retained to investigate the use of force, which she said was not required by the search warrant.

“We will fight for justice utilizing every imaginable resource,” she wrote. “I’m not with the propaganda!”

According to The Associated Press, the searches of Combs’ homes in L.A. and Miami were part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation by federal authorities in New York.

The criminal probe comes after the rap producer has been the defendant in several sexual abuse lawsuits in recent months, with some victims alleging rape.

In November, R&B singer Cassie claimed former boyfriend Combs sexually abused her for years, including rape. She also alleged he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed them. He settled the lawsuit a day later.

A male music producer claimed he coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.

A second woman alleged Combs raped her two decades ago when she was 17.

Combs and his lawyers have denied all of the allegations.
