Ex-gigolo furious about being identified in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial: 'Damaged my reputation'
Briefly

Vin Armani, a former male escort, claimed mistaken identity after being named in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial. Identified by former girlfriend Cassie Ventura as allegedly participating in sex sessions with her, Armani vehemently denied ever having any interactions with Combs or Ventura related to illegal activities. Expressing frustration at not being contacted by prosecutors, he stated that his reputation has been harmed by media misrepresentation. Armani, who transitioned to a tech career, contended that poor communication led to this damaging error.
"This has sucked for me that my name has been brought into this," he told the Daily Mail. "I have never had an interaction with Diddy and/or Cassie that included - or where I witnessed - violence, illegal drugs, contracting for sexual services/acts (prostitution), or the transportation of any person from anywhere to anywhere whatsoever."
"Had any attorney or authority ever contacted me, this fact would have been plain for them to see," he said.
"This TMZ bulls-t and the lack of professionalism or competence from the prosecution has damaged my reputation," he complained.
Armani admits he "hung out with literally hundreds of celebrities on a regular basis," but never in one of the now-notorious "freak offs" central to the case against Combs.
