Why did Brianna Turner call the
Diddy verdict
disgusting
On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, WNBA player Brianna Turner from the Indiana Fever spoke out on social media after hearing the verdict in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial.
She posted on X, calling the verdict 'disappointing and disgusting.' But what bothered her even more was how many people might have helped or ignored what was happening.
Brianna Turner wrote,'The Diddy verdict is disappointing and disgusting, but what I can't wrap my head around is all the people that aided him in his actions. Everyone that turned a blind eye. Everyone that knew what was going on. So many accomplices that helped make this all possible.
Terrifying.'
She seemed upset that some people possibly stood by and said nothing while others suffered. She claimed that 'those who did not say anything are equally as much part of the problem.' Her message was not limited to Diddy, it was also about the culture of silence done towards powerful people who harm others. Brianna Turner's reaction got attention online as many fans shared her concern and supported her words.

What did the jury decide and what will happen next for Diddy
The verdict came after three days of jury talks in a New York federal court. On July 2, 2025, the jury acquitted Sean Combs of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. However, he was convicted of two counts of transporting women across state lines for the purpose of prostitution (known as To Transport Prostitution or Mann Act violations), presented by the prosecution through his former girlfriend (and also a second, unnamed victim).
While he was acquitted of charges even without the testimony from Cassie Ventura, these are also serious charges too. Each carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, potentially, depending both on the legality of their work, and on the sentencing discretion of the judge.
Sean Combs is currently being held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center. After reviewing Sean Combs' situation and likelihood of release on bail, the judge was concerned that Sean Combs might be capable of introducing witnesses to disparate stories and voiced concern over community risk. Sean Combs is scheduled to be sentenced in October of 2025. While prosecutors are seeking a sentence of between four and five years in prison, ultimately, the judge will act on what is right.

What is the Mann Act, the 114-year-old law used to convict Sean ‘Diddy' Combs?
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the iconic music mogul and entrepreneur, was convicted Wednesday under the federal Mann Act, a 114-year-old anti-sex trafficking law originally intended to curb 'immoral' behaviour and prostitution across state lines. Though Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, he was found guilty of transporting people across state lines for paid sexual encounters, including former romantic partners and male sex workers. The case marks one of the most high-profile modern convictions under the Mann Act that has previously ensnared figures like R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell, Chuck Berry, and more than a century ago, Jack Johnson, the first Black heavyweight boxing champion. The Mann Act was passed by the US Congress in 1910 and named after Republican Representative James Robert Mann of Illinois. It was originally known as the 'White-Slave Traffic Act', intended to crack down on forced prostitution and sex trafficking. It criminalised the transport of 'any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose.' Initially aimed at addressing what was perceived as the forced trafficking of women (often sensationalised as 'white slavery'), the law's vague wording led to numerous controversial prosecutions. According to Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute, the statute was later used to criminalise interracial relationships, consensual sex, and other forms of behaviour labelled as 'immoral' by early 20th-century standards. Combs was convicted of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution, specifically involving two women: R&B singer Cassie and another woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane. Cassie said Combs pressured her into degrading sex marathons with strangers and beat her when she tried to leave one such event. Jane described a similar incident, saying Combs assaulted her when she refused to participate. Both women testified that some of the individuals involved were paid for sexual performances. Though the court did not convict Combs on the more severe counts of sex trafficking, the Mann Act conviction still carries serious penalties and reputational damage. The Mann Act was originally aimed at stopping the transport of women and girls for prostitution or 'immoral purposes.' It gained notoriety for its use in controversial cases, most notably that of Jack Johnson, the first Black world heavyweight boxing champion. Johnson was convicted in 1913 for traveling with a white girlfriend who was a sex worker. President Donald Trump posthumously pardoned Johnson in 2018, calling the conviction a 'racially motivated injustice.' A 1917 Supreme Court ruling expanded the act's interpretation, allowing prosecutions for consensual sexual activity under the definition of 'immoral purpose.' In 1986, the Mann Act was amended to become gender-neutral, removing outdated phrases like 'debauchery' and 'immoral purpose' and replacing them with more legally precise language: 'any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense.' The Act was also updated in 1978 and 1994 to focus specifically on the sexual exploitation of minors and child trafficking. Today, the Mann Act is primarily used to prosecute interstate prostitution and child sex crimes, rather than consensual adult relationships. Still, its past continues to cast a shadow. Despite these reforms, Combs' lawyers sought to dismiss the charge, arguing that the Mann Act still carried racial baggage. Prosecutors pushed back, pointing out that most of Combs' accusers are people of color and that the current use of the law is based strictly on the nature of the criminal acts.

'Young coconuts, Alfred's iced vanilla lattes': Sean Diddy's secret Wild King Nights messages revealed
Sean 'Diddy' Combs recently found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura and an anonymous woman. However, he was found guilty violating the Mann Act by flying people across the country for sexual encounters. Now former Diddy staff members have spoken out about their experiences working for Combs. As per a report of BBC, summarized by the Mirror, the staffers alleged volatile atmosphere, mind games, and unusual requests. For instance, a voice note allegedly sent by Combs to an employee WhatsApp group in 2020, revealed his attitude towards transparency. "I'm not about to be transparent with y'all. There's some dark places y'all [EXPLETIVE] don't want to go. Stay where you're at." Live Events Senior executive assistant Phil Pines, who worked for Combs from 2019 to 2021, described his onboarding experience. He claimed Combs didn't speak to him for 30 days when he took on the job and said it was "like an initiation". Another assistant offered a stark assessment of Combs' behavior. "He was a very ill man with different behaviours, sometimes very aggressive, sometimes very sweet." Staff members also shared accounts of Combs allegedly playing mind games. An assistant, known as 'Ethan', recounted an incident where Combs threw his ring into the Atlantic Ocean. He said Combs told him to go in the water and get it. Ethan said he did jump in to rescue it, despite being at a formal event. Another incident involved Pines allegedly being summoned to Combs' residence after midnight. He was asked to fetch a TV remote from under the bed while Combs was with a female guest. Combs allegedly told the woman, "See? He is loyal and now he can go back home." Text exchanges revealed preparations for events described as 'Wild King Night'. In a text exchange seen by the BBC, chief of staff Kristina Khorram allegedly told Pines a bag needed to be ready in two hours for a 'Wild King Night'. She allegedly asked for a "drop off" of seven bottles of baby oil and seven bottles of Astroglide lubricant alongside iced vanilla lattes. On September 13, 2021 Khorram allegedly text Pines: "Wild king hotel night tonight. Prep bag - you will be going to set up a hotel in like next 2hrs." Another alleged text message, sent on December 28, 2019, reads: "PD said he's going to need emergency clean up at the hotel once they leave and come to house. "Also he is starving - there is set aside chicken and shrimp creole and rice in the fridge for him." In another alleged message, sent in November 2021, Khorram text Pines: "Hey! PD still in hotel, but when you get to mapleton he asked if you could bring him stain remover (for a chair and couch) and black trash bags. And baking soda too he said. And a hairdryer lol." Another message in November 2021 read, "Hey! PD needs a drop off the following please: -4 of those young coconuts -2 Alfred's iced vanilla lattes (whole milk, extra syrup) -7 bottles baby oil -7 bottles astroglide -his Apple TV." Staff members have also alleged that Combs' drugs would travel with him internationally. They were allegedly concealed in a safe onboard his £45m private jet. Pines claimed, "Even if it was for a day trip, if he was going on the yacht for four hours, take all that stuff with you because he may use it." He claimed mushrooms, ketamine and ecstasy were kept in a Gucci bag alongside baby oil, lubricant and red lights. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
