The fourth week of P Diddy’s sex trafficking trial in New York was disrupted by an alleged supporter of the rapper, who reportedly had to be removed from the courtroom
P Diddy’s sex trafficking trial was disrupted when a an alleged supporter of the rap mogul was dragged out of the courtroom by cops.
The rap mogul, 55, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. It’s the fourth week of testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ high-profile court battle.
It’s alleged a supporter of the rapper was ejected from the New York courtroom on Tuesday (June 3), the 15th day of testimony. It’s been reported that a woman in the court’s gallery was removed from the court by cops after making a foul-mouthed outburst.
According to CNN and NBC News, the woman yelled: “Diddy, these motherf***** laughing at you” and “it’s not right what they’re doing to him!”. The judge overseeing the case, US District Court Judge Arun Subramanian, told court officers to “escort her out right now”.
It’s said Combs turned around after the judge ordered the lady to be removed. The Washington Post said the woman said she believed people were unfairly mocking Combs and that she “wanted to make her voice heard”.
The heckling incident came after prosecutors discussed a video played by the defence featuring a former Diddy employee going under the pseudonym “Mia” to protect her identity.
She previously told the court that Diddy sexually assaulted her while she was employed by him for eight years. Mia claimed she was raped by the rapper and that he was frequently violent towards her.
Diddy’s pregnant ex Cassie Ventura was one of the first people to take the stand in the trial. Text messages between the former couple were shared, in which they discussed the infamous alleged “freak off” parties.
During Cassie’s testimony, she claimed Diddy forced her into “disgusting” sex acts with strangers during the alleged “freak-off” parties, which would continue for days at a time and be fuelled by drugs.
She claimed that in one, Diddy asked a male escort to urinate into her mouth. Cassie alleged she felt “heavily objectified” during the parties, and claimed that Diddy would watch from another room via FaceTime.
However she claimed she continued to engage in them between 2007 and 2018 as she was in love Diddy. She also claimed that when she tried to leave, he would punish her.
The rapper has maintained that the sexual activity was always consensual and denies any wrongdoing. He has been in court during the trial, and his hair has turned grey since his arrest.
The trial continues.
