Joe Giudice shares one piece of advice for Diddy in Fort Dix Prison
Joe Giudice shares words of wisdom Sean “Diddy” Combs following the disgraced music mogul’s transfer to a federal prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey to serve his sentence.
The reality star, who previously served his own sentence at Fort Dix from 2016 to 2019 for fraud crimes, told TMZ on Friday, October 31, that Diddy should use his wealth to make his life behind bars easier.
Joe, 53, described the inmates at Fort Dix as “all about money,” and suggested to the outlet that Diddy could offer money to fellow inmates to get them to do his chores for him.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum added that Diddy, 55, was able to get better food by offering money to inmates who worked in the kitchen — a tactic Joe shared TMZ that he had used himself during his time behind bars.
“As long as you have money, you won’t have any problems,” Joe told the outlet.
Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges of transportation to engage in prostitution, sex trafficking and racketeering. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied the allegations against him.
In July, a jury in New York found Diddy guilty of two transportation charges, but acquitted him of the other charges. A judge later sentenced the businessman to 50 months in prison.
According to the Bureau of Prisons website, Diddy will be released on May 8, 2028. However, he could be released sooner if he maintains good behavior and completes certain programs while in prison.
On Thursday, October 30, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons confirmed that Diddy had been transferred to the federal prison at Fort Dix to serve the remainder of his four-year sentence.
