FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Sean “Diddy” Comb’s mother Janice Smalls Combs released a statement to Local 10 News Sunday about her son’s troubles.

In the statement, she says her 54-year-old son may have lied about the domestic violence that was caught on video, but that doesn’t mean he is guilty of the sexual assaults he is accused of.

“My son is not the monster they have painted him to be,” she said in a statement, according to Fort Lauderdale-based Attorney Natlie G. Figgers.

A Houston-based attorney announced on Tuesday that he was representing 120 victims of Diddy’s alleged sexual misconduct.

The music executive is also awaiting trial for sex trafficking at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
