NEW YORK, NY — Former judge and Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has dropped a bombshell during Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing trial, claiming that his mother, Janice Combs, fled the United States with $400 million of her son’s inheritance. Pirro, known for her provocative commentary, made the explosive allegation on her show Justice with Judge Jeanine, calling Janice “a devil in disguise” and alleging she absconded amid Diddy’s September 2024 arrest for racketeering and sex trafficking. The claim, which has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, has reportedly plunged the FBI and government into a “crisis,” fueling a social media storm on X with hashtags like #PirroExposes and #DiddyCrisis trending.
Pirro’s announcement comes as Diddy’s trial, one of the most high-profile cases in recent memory, captivates the nation. She alleged that Janice Combs, leveraging her son’s vast wealth, left the country to evade scrutiny as the FBI investigates financial flows tied to Diddy’s empire. “While everyone’s focused on Diddy, his mother slipped away with $400 million,” Pirro stated, though she offered no concrete evidence to substantiate the claim. The accusation aligns with earlier unverified reports, such as Karoline Leavitt’s similar claim, which suggested Janice fled with a massive sum, complicating the FBI’s efforts to track assets in the case.
The alleged “crisis” stems from the FBI’s struggle to manage the sprawling investigation, which includes over 120 victims and allegations of a “treasure trove” of incriminating videos. Pirro’s claim, aired on national television, has intensified pressure on the agency, with X users divided. Supporters rallied behind her, with one posting, “Jeanine’s exposing the truth—Diddy’s empire is crumbling!” Critics, however, slammed the lack of proof, with one X post reading, “Pirro’s just chasing clout with no receipts.” Fact-checking sites like Snopes have previously debunked similar rumors about celebrities fleeing due to Diddy’s case, casting doubt on the narrative.
Pirro’s history of bold claims, including her critiques of the Mueller investigation and support for Trump’s pardons, adds context to her latest move. Recently named interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., by President Trump, her involvement in the Diddy saga carries political weight. Critics argue she’s sensationalizing the case for ratings, while supporters see her as a fearless truth-teller. The claim about Janice Combs contradicts her public defense of her son, where she expressed devastation over his charges.
As Diddy’s trial progresses, with jury selection underway as of May 9, 2025, Pirro’s allegation has heightened public fascination. The lack of verified evidence raises questions about its validity, but her platform ensures the story’s reach. Whether Janice Combs indeed fled or Pirro’s claim is another provocative headline, the controversy underscores the chaotic narrative surrounding Diddy’s downfall, keeping the FBI and the public on edge.
