Overview

• Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is standing trial in the Southern District Court of New York on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
• Judge Arun Subramanian told Combs that any further gestures toward jurors could lead to his removal from the courtroom.
• The reprimand followed Combs’ “vigorous nodding” during the cross-examination of Bryana ‘Bana’ Bongolan, who testified that he dangled her from a 17th-floor balcony in 2016.
• Combs’ defense has presented alibi evidence indicating he was on tour at the time of the alleged assault and has challenged inconsistencies in witness timelines.
• As the trial enters its fourth week, prosecutors are introducing video footage and multiple witness accounts while the defense continues to contest their credibility.
