DIDDY: Gray Beard Court Appearance
Written by Ariel Newbold on March 17, 2025
On Friday, Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in a New York courtroom wearing a khaki prison jumpsuit and a gray beard.
The 55-year-old rap mogul pleaded “not guilty” to an updated indictment. Prosecutors accused him of forcing employees to work extra hours under the threat of physical harm. In at least one case, Diddy allegedly forced an employee into a sex act with him.
The judge rescheduled Diddy’s trial. Opening arguments will begin May 12. Potential jury members will be called to court in the final week of April. Final selection will begin on May 5. Diddy’s lawyer said (quote) “He looks forward to his day in court. It will become clear that he has never forced anyone to engage in sexual acts against their will.” (E! News)
