Diddy's bail appeal package reportedly includes banning women from his house and weekly drug tests

Sean "Diddy" Combs and his legal team have filed an appeal against Judge Andrew L. Carter's decision to deny the rapper bail in his ongoing case. As per Rolling Stone, the bail package includes clauses like weekly drug tests and bans any woman or "co-conspirators" from entering his house.

Diddy was arrested on September 16 from New York and charged with s*x trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. However, the hip-hop mogul has pleaded not guilty to all aforementioned charges.

Since his arrest, the rapper has been denied bail twice and housed inside Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. After the denial, Diddy was reportedly kept under suicide watch, i.e., heightened supervision because of his allegedly fragile mental health.

Reports also suggested that the rapper had stopped eating in fear of being poisoned.

According to a fresh report by Rolling Stone, the rapper's team has filed an appeal against the denial of bail so that he could be detained at his home. Although no documents have been publicly released, the rapper has reportedly "promised" to undergo weekly drug tests and not allow any woman or people who can be construed as "co-conspirators" upon release from prison.

According to the rapper's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, the bail appeal will only allow Diddy's “family, property caretakers and friends who are not considered to be co-conspirators” into his house.

Additionally, no woman besides his mother and the mothers of his children will be permitted within the premises.

Finally, the security will be required to keep a "visitor's log" to keep track of anyone who enters Diddy's house and the list will have to be submitted to the court every night.

Why was Diddy refused bail by judges?

Prior to his latest appeal, the music mogul was refused bail twice by the judges. In his first bail attempt, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky agreed with the argument posed by U.S. attorneys that he was a threat if released from prison.

According to a court transcript (via USA Today), Judge Tarnofsky said:

"I don't believe that counsel has the ability to control you, given the very significant concerns I have, particularly because of substance abuse and what seem like anger issues."

She further added that the bond package offered by the rapper didn't assure "his return to court or the safety of the community, or a lack of witness tampering."

In the second bail attempt, Diddy's legal team wrote a letter to Judge Carter on September 18, requesting his bail on a $50 million bond.

The bond was to be secured through equity obtained from his and his mother's houses in Florida. The music mogul also assured that he would make himself available for government detention.

However, Judge Carter upheld Judge Tarnofsky's September 17 decision, denying him bail for the second time.

Upon denial, Marc Agnifilo vowed to appeal against the denial of bail and get his client out of the Metropolitan Detention Center. Outside the courthouse on Sept. 18, Agnifilo said:

"I told Mr. Combs I'm going to try and get his case to trial as quickly as possible. I'm going to try to minimize the amount of time he spends in very very difficult and I believe inhumane housing conditions in the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Detention Facility."
