The 54-year-old star was arrested at a hotel in New York on Monday night, and he has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has been remanded to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after pleading not guilty, and he has twice been denied bail .
According to PEOPLE, Combs is on suicide watch , with sources describing the move as a preventative measure as he is in shock with his mental state unclear. The now-viral interview, which originally aired in 2002 on Late Night With Conan O’Brien, featured Combs making unsettling jokes about keeping women from leaving his parties – a comment that has taken on new meaning in light of his current legal troubles. He is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center without bail, after a judge denied his request for release.
The resurfaced interview shows the music mogul, once considered one of the industry’s most powerful figures, giving Conan O’Brien advice on how to throw a ‘killer party.’ While initially offering light-hearted tips – such as ensuring there were ‘beautiful women’ and ‘beautiful men for the ‘ladies’ along with ‘alcohols’ and water –.
