Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former chef says she's afraid of retaliation after verdict: 'Fear for my safety'

The previous personal chef for Sean “Diddy” Combs is now expressing concerns for her safety following the recent outcome of the Bad Boy Records founder’s federal sex trafficking trial. Despite being acquitted of the most severe charges, there are lingering fears.

In the trial, the 55-year-old “I’ll Be Missing You” artist was only found guilty of two counts related to transportation for prostitution. However, he was cleared of two sex-trafficking allegations and one racketeering charge.

In response to the verdict, Jourdan Atkinson, who claims to have witnessed and suffered physical abuse by Combs during her time working for him, wrote a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian requesting that Combs be held without bail until the sentencing, a request that was granted by the judge.

Atkinson later took to social media to share a series of videos on Instagram, as well as a copy of a subpoena she had received from the Southern District of New York in 2024.

The private chef was one of the government’s witnesses, though she did not testify at the trial.

In the clips, Atkinson alleged that Combs had physically abused her during the time she had worked for him.

“This is a grave miscarriage of justice,” she said in the video. “I stand on everything that I have always said.”

She also alleged that she saw Combs abuse his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, of which there was proof in a hotel surveillance video shared by CNN last year.

“I am not okay. I have not been okay. I do not feel safe. I do not know where to go from here,” Atkinson captioned her post.

“I stand with Cassie, as I always have. I do not understand the way this case was handled. We have all been put in danger. FOR WHAT?”

In her letter to the judge, Atkinson said she now fears the rapper will retaliate against her and the other people who were subpoenaed ahead of trial.

“I’d like to express how terrifying this whole ordeal has been for me personally,” she wrote to Judge Subramanian. “This past year and a half has been traumatizing. This verdict is devastating.”

“I fear for my safety upon his release,” she added.

The acquittals on the sex trafficking counts mean he will avoid a 15-year mandatory minimum sentence. He could have faced life in prison if he were convicted of sex trafficking or racketeering conspiracy.

Combs now faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence on each of the two prostitution counts.
