All the celebrities mentioned in Diddy trial so far
The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs is in its third week in New York and several A-list celebrities have been named-dropped throughout the bombshell testimony. Diddy, 55, is currently standing trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, to which he has pled not guilty. His former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, delivered graphic testimonies alleging that the music mogul physically and psychologically abused her over more than a decade from 2007-2018. Diddy's ex-assistant Capricorn Clark exposed the mogul's list of celebrities enemies and many other A-listers have come up in testimony. The trial has even inspired deep fake videos that use AI-generated images to falsely claim that certain celebrities, such as Oprah and Jennifer Lawrence, have been mentioned in the mogul's sex-trafficking case. Here is a list of all the celebrities talked about in the trial so far: Cassie Ventura The 'Me & U' singer is Diddy's ex-girlfriend and the prosecution's star witness in the trial. She provided explosive testimony about how she was allegedly coerced into participating in drug-fueled sex sessions that could last up to four days. In humiliating detail, the eight-and-a-half month's pregnant singer claimed she was plied with booze and drugs and forced to 'perform' in the orgies, known as 'freak offs', along with male escorts. The encounters formed part of a turbulent 10-year relationship with Combs, which was consumed by violence and his obsession with voyeurism, the singer told the court. The alleged sexual exploitation left Ventura broken and feeling, 'like it was all I was good for,' she said. Kid Cudi The rapper, whose real name Scott Mescudi, was first brought up by Ventura when she testified that Diddy made an explicit threat about him after discovering they had been dating. Ventura claimed that Diddy said he was 'he was going to hurt Scott and I' so she broke things off with him over Christmas 2011 while with her family in Connecticut. The 'Pursuit of Happiness' hitmaker later took the stand and testified that Combs broke into his Hollywood Hills home in 2011 after finding out he was dating Cassie, and that someone set fire to his car weeks later. According to Mescudi, he broke up with Ventura in late 2011 'for her safety, for my safety…because I knew Sean Combs was violent.' But on January 9 2012 at 6.30am, Mescudi got a call from his dog sitter saying his Porsche was on fire. The jury was shown photos of the car showing the door covered in black smoke, the red leather seats covered in black stains and the roof slashed. Dawn Richard Richard, who is a former member of Comb's girl group Danity Kane, testified that she witnessed the hip-hop mogul attack Cassie multiple times. The singer said Diddy even threatened to kill her if she told anyone she saw him physically abusing his longtime girlfriend. Richard testified the threat came after she saw Combs hit Cassie 'on the head and beat her on the ground' after Cassie deflected a swipe at her head by a skillet in 2009. She claimed to have witnessed Combs beat his girlfriend frequently when he 'would punch her, choke her, drag her, slap her in the mouth. I saw him kick her, punch her in the stomach.' Michael B Jordan The 'Sinners' star came up as a man Diddy was jealous of because of their relationship with Cassie. His name was included in a list list of people and places handed to potential jurors because they may come up throughout the sex-trafficking trial. Jordan is on the list because he was once allegedly threatened by Diddy over his relationship with the rapper's ex-girlfriend Cassie, Rolling Stone reported. Barack Obama The former president's name came up in testimony as one of Diddy's former assistants claimed the mogul used to take ecstasy pills pressed with Obama's face. Diddy's former personal assistant David James said that A-listers would pop pills including Percocet and ecstasy at the parties. He did not say Obama was ever in attendance at the parties - but said celebrities would celebrate with 'various pills in the shape of the former president's face', the court heard. Britney Spears Britney Spears also came up as Cassie listed the stars who attended her 21st birthday party. Ventura testified that he invited Spears, now 43, to her 21st birthday celebration at Pure nightclub on September 7, 2007. 'Sean was there and he brought [Grammy-winning music producer] Dallas Austin [and] Britney Spears,' the 'Me & U singer' told the court. 'I think those were the two people that stand out to me.' Diddy and Spears also attended an afterparty thrown by rapper 50 Cent at the since-renamed The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino later in the evening, that extended into the early morning hours of September 8, 2007. 50 Cent Diddy 's ex-assistant Capricorn Clark told the court she once heard the mogul discussing weapons as he spoke of his rivalry against rapper 50 Cent. She said she and Diddy were leaving a press event at MTV when the mogul told an executive he was having issues with 50 Cent. Diddy reportedly said, 'I don't lie the back and forth, I don't like that. I like guns.' Diddy has frequently dispelled any rumors of a feud between the legends, but Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, has been slamming his nemesis publicly for years. Lauren London The actress, who was a close friend of Ventura, also came up in Clark's testimony. Clark said Diddy once explained to her and London why they 'didn't have a man.' '(He said) let me show you something. He called Cassie over and he asked her to sit down, stand up, turn around, turn the other way, walk over there, grab that hand me that, walk back, turn around, go back in the other room,' Clark told the jury. When Ventura left the room, '[Diddy]said, 'did you see that? You bitches won't do that. That's why you don't have a man.' 'To which we said: 'You're motherf***ing right.' Prince Prince was named as Cassie described being attacked by Diddy after a party at the late superstar's house in LA. Usher Singing icon Usher was brought up in attendance at a star-studded dinner when the disgraced rap mogul assaulted Cassie Richards testified that Usher was in attendance at a star-studded dinner when the disgraced rap mogul assaulted Cassie Ventura in a restaurant. Chris Brown The troubled star's name was brought up as a man Diddy suspected Cassie of having an affair with. Cassie said Combs was wary of her dating or giving attention to other men, even during breaks in their decade-long relationship. She says the hip-hop star took her phone from her on numerous occasions, including when he found out she was dating a football player and when she suspected her of dancing with the singer Chris Brown. Cassie didn't name the player and denied dancing with Brown. 'He'd take my phone, my car, my watch when he was angry,' Cassie said of the music mogul. Mike Myers The comedian was included on the list handed to potential jurors because they may come up throughout the sex-trafficking trial. It's unclear why Myers was on the list, but there is a scene in one of his Austin Powers movies that includes a Diddy joke, according to USA Today. Biggie Smalls George Kaplan, Diddy's former executive assistant, revealed that May 21, the birthday of Combs' late protégé Biggie Smalls, is a paid holiday at Combs Enterprises. Smalls, who was also known as The Notorious B.I.G., signed to Combs' Bad Boy Records label in 1993. The rapper, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, was fatally shot in Los Angeles in 1997. Bruce Willis and Eddie Murphy During her cross-examination, Cassie gave details of her past relationship with Combs, which lasted from 2007 until 2018. Text message exchanges were shown to the jury, including one where she expressed her desire to have a larger role in Diddy's life as well as with his children from previous relationships. She also gave examples of successful Hollywood relationships between stars who had children with other people. Back in 2013, Cassie had penned a text that read: 'As much as you think you're Bruce Willis, you aren't. He's married, and before he was married, the family as a whole went on trips together or just him and his woman.' She also brought up Eddie Murphy and his wife Paige Butcher whom he married in 2024. However, the pair had been dating for years leading up to tying the knot. 'Eddie Murphy and Paige took his kids away on their own,' Ventura had written in the messages. 'I don't think that you sympathize with my feelings.

While the exact procedure the momager underwent remains unclear, the New York based plastic surgeon specializes in 'natural-looking enhancements of the face, breasts, and body' as per his website. Levine is 'one of the youngest leaders in the field of aesthetic surgery.' It was noted that Dr. Levine's 'subtle improvements grace some of the most famous faces and figures in the world' in a 2020 interview with People. His patient list reportedly includes 'A-list actors, supermodels and more.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kris Jenner's, 69, strikingly youthful appearance in recent weeks has sparked speculation about whether she's had another facelift; (L) pictured last week, (R) seen in May 2024 His expertise encompasses a wide range of procedures, including facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid rejuvenation (both lower and upper blepharoplasty), body contouring, and breast augmentation and reduction. Levine's price for a face procedures can run $45,000 and up. Levine offers different facelift procedures, including a 'Mini Facelift' and a 'Full Facelift.' A mini facelift 'restores youth and shape to the lower part of the face and neck' and has a shorter recovery time. It also leads to 'subtle, extremely natural results.' A Full Facelift transforms the patient 'into a more youthful and rejuvenated version of themselves' and helps 're-suspend the deeper tissue in its correct anatomical position and remove any excess skin.' Jenner's fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts. Last Saturday they did a double take after hairstylist Chris Stapleton shared a series of photos of the reality star on social media. The Kardashians star, who was in Paris to support daughter Kim Kardashian as she testified about being the victim of a brutal armed robbery, looked remarkably like her second-oldest daughter in the new pics. 'Just a Kris Jenner appreciation post,' Stapleton wrote on Instagram on Friday. 'I thought that was Kim posing as Kris at first… for the first photo,' claimed one amazed fan. 'Thought that was Kim! She looks INCREDIBLE' exclaimed another. Fans have been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner Fans have also been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner. 'Who's your doctor???? AMAZING,' another added. 'The doctor deserves an award! Wow!' 'The fountain of youth. I want some of the water she's drinking.' Many also compared Kris' youthful appearance to Lindsay Lohan's recent transformation. 'What in the Lindsay Lohan is going on here,' one wrote. 'She got the Lindsay Lohan,' another added. Lohan, 38, has never admitting to having surgery, but has credited her gorgeous skin to her dermatologist in Dubai. Though Kris has not specified what work she's had done with Dr. Levine, it wouldn't mark her first time going under the knife. In 2011, a terrified Kris was filmed being wheeled in for a facelift on her reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Jenner was 55-years-old at the time, and going under the knife a month prior her daughter Kim's wedding to NBA star Kris Humprhies. Video footage of Kris before and after surgery was published on the E! website. It shows Kris in tears as she sits in the waiting room surrounded by her children. 'I don't want to die,' the nervous star said. After she recovered from the operation, Kim assured her the results were already positive. 'Mom, you look fab,' she said. 'So gorgeous.' Jenner also previously admitted she had a breast augmentation in the '80s after having four kids, but later revised the procedure for 'smaller' implants and a 'lift.' Her earlobe surgery was also featured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians back in 2018. The star has also had 'Botox and fillers and lasers and things like that.' Many fans previously called out the star for filtering her social media photos and creating 'unreal beauty expectations.'

Don't let them rob you of your power.' The former couple announced the birth of their first child together in a sweet post, captioned: 'She's finally here!! our little celestial seed.' The proud dad went on to reveal that he 'composed the score' of his little girl's birth with Travis Barker, Big Slim, Truck Norris, No Love for the Middle Child and Shaan Singh.

'Stop caring so much about how you're perceived that you will try and drag other people.' Brian attached Kelly's track, Don't Let Me Go, to his social media post.

Machine shared pictures of himself on January 28th looking outside a window and off the camera - while shirtless.

That's a shame,' he said to TMZ. 'I'm heartbroken about it because I know she's been so excited. And the kids are so excited for life and the change and all of that.' Brian called the situation 'tragic' and noted that he does not know 'the facts.'

Their five-year romance came to an end over Thanksgiving weekend while they were on holiday in Vail, Colorado, according to TMZ. They split after Megan 'found material on MGK's phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early,' the source said. Kelly, born Colson Baker, left the trip earlier and they have not seen each other since. An insider recently claimed that Megan wanted to just 'focus' on her pregnancy. The insider told People: 'They tried to make things work for many years. It was exhausting for Megan. 'She's done with him now. She just wants to focus on the baby and her boys now.' She posted a picture of her with her pregnant belly and a snap of her positive pregnancy test - to one of Machine Gun Kelly's songs in the pregnancy reveal, which she shared on November 11. Fox and Kelly previously suffered a miscarriage. Megan captioned the post: 'Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back,' adding a heart emoji. Megan and MGK started dating in 2020 after she split from Brian following 10 years of marriage. They got engaged in January 2022 with the couple briefly splitting in February 2023 but working things through and getting back together - but not getting engaged again. Megan previously revealed she believes she manifested the rapper turned rocker into the person he is, adding that she manifested him when she was four years old. 'He's literally my exact type that I've been manifesting since I was four. I'm also four years older than him. So, I think I made him.'
