Misa Hylton is pushing back against the latest wave of speculation tied to Diddy as the music mogul faces ongoing sexual misconduct accusations.
Although she has remained mostly private throughout the controversy, she is now responding directly to claims resurfacing from Puff’s former bodyguard Gene Deal and recent discussions raised in the Netflix docuseries titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which was executive produced by 50 Cent.
A central point of tension emerged when Gene Deal addressed the online chatter suggesting that he accused Diddy of not being Justin Combs father.
Deal clarified that he never made that statement, yet he also admitted that he chose not to correct the rumor as it circulated. He justified his silence by calling these consequences “casualties of war” in what he describes as his personal battle with Diddy.
After seeing Deal’s remarks, Hylton shared a post on Instagram, which has since been deleted, writing, “Anyone who knows me knows I’m a private person, and it pains me that I even have to post this.” She went on to describe how difficult the situation has been for both her and Justin, writing, “The harassment my son and I have been dealing with because of things implied by Gene Deal and stated in a recent Netflix documentary has been heartbreaking. The truth is: the public is being misled about me and my child, we’ve been dragged into something we never asked for… a cruel game built on rumors and agendas.”
Misa urged people to be mindful of what they choose to believe. “Please take a moment before believing everything you hear,” she wrote. She expressed that the betrayal feels especially sharp because it comes from individuals she once relied on. As she explained, the damage falls entirely on her and her son, while those spreading the claims feel none of the impact. “The most painful part is that this is happening because of men I once trusted to protect me, not harm me. And the saddest thing is that none of this affect the people spreading it – it only hurts me and my son. Like Gene said, we’ve been treated as ‘casualties of war.’… #protectwomenandtheirchildren. This is about Misa and Justin ONLY. Why didn’t this go viral?”
