Sean "Diddy" Combs may seem to be coping well behind bars for now, but concerns about his mental well-being are justified, according to a celebrity prison consultant. John Fuller, who has worked with high-profile clients like Martha Stewart, spoke to TMZ and shared that while Diddy might not be suicidal in the early stages of his incarceration, there’s reason to worry that his mental health could deteriorate over time, especially if his trial doesn’t go in his favor.
Fuller explained that Diddy, being accustomed to his A-list lifestyle and always getting his way, might struggle to adjust to life in prison. He likened Diddy’s situation to "his version of 9/11," highlighting the shock and emotional toll it could have on the rap mogul.
Fuller suggested that feelings of "complete hopelessness" could easily arise given the gravity of Diddy's charges, which include sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. Diddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records, is currently being held without bond, and his case is drawing comparisons to those of R. Kelly and Jeffrey Epstein.

Despite the grim outlook, Fuller mentioned one possible silver lining for Diddy in jail: a break from the constant demands of his celebrity life. In prison, Diddy might find some peace away from the relentless pace of meetings, phone calls, and public appearances.
Diddy is currently housed at MDC Brooklyn, a federal detention center in New York City, following the denial of his bail appeal. For his safety, he's being kept in a Special Housing Unit, separate from the general prison population, as his fame and the nature of the allegations could make him a target behind bars.
His routine now involves strict schedules, including set times for waking up, eating, sleeping, and showering. Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, expressed concerns about the poor conditions at the facility and revealed that he’s working to have his client moved to a different prison.
Overall, it seems Diddy is facing a harsh reality as he adjusts to life behind bars.
