Virginia “Gina” Huynh was initially supposed to testify against her ex-boyfriend, Sean “Diddy” Combs, at his sex trafficking trial. But Huynh, who was referred to as “Victim-3” in court documents before she publicly identified herself, never took the stand. Prosecutors in the case said they lost touch with her attorney, and she did not show up for the trial.
Now, Huynh’s name has made headlines again after he pleaded with a judge for the disgraced music mogul’s release and said she “always has his back.”
Here’s more about Huynh and her relationship with the Bad Boy Records founder.
Huynh is an Instagram influencer with a few famous exes
Huynh was born on April 6, 1992, in Nebraska. The model and social media influencer has more than 145,000 followers on Instagram. She mostly posts about her travels with fashion-related photos. And Diddy isn’t her only famous ex.
Huynh also reportedly dated former boxing star Floyd Mayweather Jr. and singer Chris Brown. She and the latter were spotted together holding hands in 2020. However, it’s not known when their relationship ended.
Huynh has one young daughter named JayVianna.
Diddy allegedly cheated on Cassie with Huynh
Diddy and Huynh began seeing each other in 2014, the same time he was with Cassie Ventura. In fact, one of the reasons Cassie decided to end things with Diddy is because she saw a photo of him and Huynh together.
“I promised myself I wouldn’t be with you anymore if you did that to me again,” Ventura said in a message to Diddy that was shared during the trial. She went on to say that Diddy “lied” to her and that Huynh “never went away.”
Huynh wrote a letter pushing for Diddy’s release
On Aug. 3, Huynh, who once made some disturbing allegations of abuse against Diddy, wrote a letter advocating for her ex’s release.
In the letter, she admitted that their relationship “was not always perfect” but claimed “he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future.”
“I am writing because I do not view Mr. Combs as a danger to me or to the community,” Huynh wrote. “This is his first criminal case. Throughout the investigation and proceedings, he has been cooperative, respectful and compliant. He has substantial ties to his family and community, including children who depend on him for emotional and financial support. Granting him bond would allow him to continue caring for his family and fulfilling his responsibilities while still subject to the Court’s supervision …
“By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior. To my knowledge, he has not been violent for many years, and he has been committed to being a father first. I am writing because I do not view Mr. Combs as a danger to me or to the community.”
The judge, however, saw things differently. He denied Combs’ request to be released on bail pending his sentencing hearing scheduled for Oct. 3.
