Sean P Diddy Combs won’t be calling Cassie Ventura anytime soon: court documents cited by NewsNation say he’ll face five years of supervised release with a strict no-contact order once his prison term ends.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is about to have the most tightly managed calendar of his life. And once he gets out, he still won’t be calling Cassie. Here’s where things stand and what his post-prison world actually looks like.

Where things stand

According to court documents cited by NewsNation, Combs was sentenced earlier this month to 50 months in federal prison on two Mann Act counts tied to prostitution, plus a $500,000 fine. The sentence also comes with five years of supervised release after he serves his time, and a bright-line rule: no contact with Cassie Ventura, his ex and a listed witness in the case, for the entire supervised-release period.

What that supervised release really means

The rules read like a parole manual on hard mode. Per the filing, once he’s out, Combs will be on a very short leash:

  • No contact with Cassie Ventura for five years.
  • Report to a probation officer whenever told.
  • Submit to random searches of his home, car, phone, and documents.
  • Give 10 days advance notice before changing where he lives or works.
  • No firearms or replicas, period.
  • No drug use, with random drug testing to back that up.
  • Maintain lawful employment for at least 30 hours a week.
  • Complete domestic-violence programming and mental-health treatment.
  • No contact with anyone engaged in criminal activity.

Cassie’s warning to the judge

Last month, Cassie sent a statement to Judge Subramanian urging the court to keep Combs locked up. Her letter, obtained by TMZ, describes an 11-year ordeal that began when she was 19, including coerced sex acts, fear for her family’s safety, and suicidal thoughts. She also detailed being compelled into weekly encounters with male sex workers, saying she was left with injuries and constant fear of retaliation.

"His first actions will be swift retribution."

There’s also the now-notorious hotel security video showing Combs physically assaulting Cassie. In court, even his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, didn’t try to spin that clip.

"We own the domestic violence."

Meanwhile, the kids try to keep a normal rhythm

On October 16, Dana Tran shared an Instagram Story of their daughter Love Sean Combs’s third birthday party, per The Mirror. Love’s siblings Christian 'King' Combs, twins D'Lila and Jessie, Justin Combs, and Quincy Taylor Brown were all there, smiling over a fruit-covered cake. The only one not shown was Chance Combs. It’s a rare bit of family togetherness while their dad sits in a cell.

Where he might serve his time

On October 6, Combs’s lawyers asked Judge Subramanian to recommend FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, a low-security federal prison with the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). The pitch: it would make family visits easier and boost his rehab prospects.

"We request that the Court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix for RDAP purposes."

That request came from attorney Teny Geragos. The Bureau of Prisons hasn’t made a final placement decision yet.

The bottom line

Between the 50-month term, a half-million-dollar fine, and five years of strict supervision with zero contact allowed with Cassie, Combs’s world is going to be tightly controlled for a long time. Whether he can rehab his image after all this is another question entirely.
