Former Diddy chef calls verdict a “disgrace,” says she’s “traumatized” and no longer feels safe

One of Diddy's former cooks is lamenting the rapper's federal sex trafficking trial verdict.

In a new report from TMZ, the Bad Boy Records founder's former chef is opening up about the fear she is experiencing now that he has been acquitted of the most serious charges, which could have landed him life behind bars.

Jourdan Atkinson, who was on the prosecution's witness list, recently took to her Instagram account to share the note she penned to Judge Arun Subramanian, who presided over the case. Atkinson, who never took the stand to testify but claims she is a victim of his abuse, penned in her letter after the verdict:

"I'd like to express how terrifying this whole ordeal has been for me personally. This past year and a half has been traumatizing. This verdict is devastating." She added, "I fear for my safety upon his release."

The 55-year-old rapper was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution on Wednesdays but was cleared of two sex-trafficking charges and one racketeering charge. Atkinson asked the judge to deny the mogul's bail in her letter, which he eventually did.

Jourdan Atkinson also shared a string of videos and a copy of a subpoena she had been given from the Southern District of New York last year. In the videos, she accused Diddy of physically abusing her during her time as his private chef. She stated:

"I want to be clear, as a victim, as a former employee of Sean Combs, I do not feel safe," Atkinson said in one of the videos on her Instagram. "I am extremely traumatized. I do not know where to go from here." She added, “This is a grave miscarriage of justice. I stand on everything that I have always said.”

She also claimed to have witnessed Diddy abuse his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

“I am not okay. I have not been okay. I do not feel safe. I do not know where to go from here,” she captioned her post. “I stand with Cassie, as I always have. I do not understand the way this case was handled. We have all been put in danger. FOR WHAT?”

In her videos, Atkinson recalled being traumatized when agents from the federal government approached her in a bid to have her testify in the May trial. She claims that the only reason this didn't happen is because she "flipped out on the government." She also alleged that Diddy's team contacted her shortly after to cover all of her legal fees, an encounter she claims is "witness tampering."

Judge Subramanian has since denied Diddy's bail appeal, citing the applicable law that deemed it necessary for him to be detained. He also cited the rapper's pattern of domestic abuse.
