Diddy's Twins Reportedly Attend Prom After Appearing in Court for the 1st Week of His Trial
Sean "Diddy" Combs' daughters Jessie and D'Lila Combs had a night out at their high school prom amid his ongoing sex trafficking trial. The 18-year-old twins reportedly attended the Los Angeles event on Saturday, May 17, which was held at the Harbour House, according to photos obtained by Backgrid. The duo coordinated looks in red off-the-shoulder floor-length dresses with matching corsages. While being carried into the event by their dates, Jessie and D'Lila were asked why they had arrived late. "The party doesn't start until we walk in. Saved the best for last,' they replied, per People. Combs shared Jessie and D'Lila with Kim Porter, who died in November 2018 at 47 years of age. Combs and Porter also welcomed son Christian, 27, and the rap mogul adopted Porter's son Quincy Brown, now 33, whom she previously welcomed with Al B. Sure. Combs is also the dad of son Justin Combs, 31, whom he welcomed with Misa Hylton and 18-year-old daughter Chance Combs, whom he shares with Sarah Chapman in 2006. Combs welcomed his youngest daughter, Love, with Dana Train in 2022. The twins' prom comes days after the 55-year-old's trial began on May 5. Jessie and D'Lila made an appearance alongside Christian, Justin and Quincy and Diddy's mom, Janice Combs, on Monday, May 12. The twins reportedly left the courtroom twice on Monday as sex worker Daniel Phillip testified about alleged interactions with Diddy and Cassie, who dated on and off from 2007 to 2018. Diddy's Twins Jessie and D'Lila Combs Reflect on 'Extremely Difficult' Years Since Losing Mom Kim Porter In September 2024, Diddy was arrested and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him. 'We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office,' Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. 'He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.' His arrest came nearly one year after Cassie filed a lawsuit against him accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship. He denied her claims in a statement shared by his attorney. 'Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,' Diddy's lawyer Ben Brafman said at the time. Diddy's Kids Hold Hands Entering Courthouse as Trial Opening Statements Begin Diddy and Cassie settled out of court one day after the lawsuit was filed. In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram. Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs accused of aiding son in assaulting a woman
Sean 'Diddy' Combs and his son Christian are demanding a jury trial after the rapper's eldest child was accused of sexually assaulting a woman on a yacht chartered by the rapper. The pair were named in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in April last year by plaintiff Grace O'Marcaigh. The former yacht stewardess alleged Christian 'King' Combs physically and sexually assaulted her and claimed his father, who is named as a co-defendant, aided the attack. The U.S. Sun has obtained a new court filing this month which shows Combs, 55, and his son, 27, are not looking at settling the case any time soon. The document, dated May 8, stated: 'Defendants Christian Combs and Sean Combs hereby demand a trial by jury on all claims so triable.' They are both being represented by a team of attorneys from Summa LLP based in South Pasadena, California. Filings also show they now have until May 30 to file an official response to the lawsuit and Judge Dolly M. Gee has been assigned to the case. Aaron Dyer, an lawyer for Sean and Christian Combs, previously told CNN that they believe the lawsuit contains 'manufactured lies and irrelevant facts,' and said they were seeking to 'dismiss this outrageous claim.' The update comes as Combs is on trial in Manhattan federal court facing charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being supported by his family, including Christian, who has been seen at court in New York this week. In the 33-page civil suit, O'Marcaigh alleged she was 25 when she was working on a superyacht called 'Victorious' in December 2022 when Combs leased it. She claimed the disgraced music mogul 'had full control of the staff and premises of the yacht' over the holiday period. The suit alleged: 'During the second week of the charter service, there was a significant amount of partying and drug use, which caused the guests to stay up throughout the night. 'The make-up of the yacht quickly evolved from just Defendant S. Combs and his family to include a constant rotation of suspected sex workers and other A-list celebrities such as French Montana and actor Cuba Gooding, Jr.' The stars have not been accused of any wrongdoing. O'Marcaigh claimed Combs 'turned what was sold as a wholesome family excursion into a hedonistic environment.' 'Staff was often treated with disrespect, suspected sex workers were sprawled out unconscious about the yacht, and it was difficult to distinguish which bottles of alcohol were laced with drugs and which bottles were not,' the suit went on. The former stewardess claimed staff on the boat were encouraged to drink, and on one occasion she was asked by Christian to sit next to him which she deemed 'inappropriate'. He allegedly became 'aggressive,' grabbed her by the arm, and began hurting her as he demanded she do a shot of tequila, after which he begged her to do more. 'Plaintiff was quite scared and realised she was in a very dangerous situation,' the suit claims. 'Plaintiff was also feeling the effect of the tequila shots and quickly suspected that the tequila was spiked. 'At this point, the situation escalated, and Plaintiff started to be physically assaulted by Defendant C. Combs. 'He touched Plaintiff's legs, breasts, anus, and vagina. 'He also tried to kiss her and proceeded to kiss her neck, face, and hands.' Rodney Jones, a record producer who separately filed a $30 million sexual assault and sexual harassment lawsuit against Combs, allegedly recorded all of the party. A supposed transcript of an audio recording from a makeshift studio on the yacht is included in the filing. O'Marcaigh allegedly said to Christian, 'You are drugging me?' and 'Excuse me, you don't touch my legs like that. I'll move my legs where I want to.' Christian then allegedly demanded she find him a place to sleep on the yacht and she suggested the cinema room as there were no spare cabins available. The suit claimed: 'The cinema has one door to exit and enter. Plaintiff entered the room, and Defendant C. Combs blocked her from exiting. 'Plaintiff retreated to a corner of the room, and Defendant C. Combs became physical and extremely aggressive. He cornered Plaintiff and started to grope her. Plaintiff pushed him back constantly. 'Defendant C. Combs then took off all of his clothes. His penis was erect, and he grabbed her arms and was trying to force Plaintiff to perform oral copulation on him. 'The Plaintiff began fighting Defendant C. Combs, and not long after, her partner on board entered the cinema.' The suit claims this 'startled' her alleged attacker and she was finally able to flee. The next day, O'Marcaigh alleged she complained to the ship's captain but she was not taken seriously and Combs and his family gave a generous tip. The lawsuit accuses Combs of orchestrating a cover-up, stating, 'Only a few members of the ship's staff were required to write statements. 'Plaintiff and her partner were the only two staff members not interviewed and not asked to write a statement.' The lawsuit included photographic evidence of bruises on O'Marcaigh's forearm that she alleges were inflicted by Christian. O'Marcaigh was 'isolated and retaliated against' after making the complaint and was later terminated on or around May 10, 2023, according to the complaint. O'Marcaigh suffered anxiety and panic attacks, developed an eating disorder, and even thought about ending her own life, the suit claimed.

Diddy's son Christian Combs remembers late mom Kim Porter hours before rapper's sex trafficking trial
Diddy 's son Christian Combs paid poignant tribute to his late mother Kim Porter on Mother's Day Sunday - just hours before his father's sex trafficking trial began. Christian, known as King, 27, is the eldest child of the rapper, 55, and Porter, who died aged 47 in 2018 from lobar pneumonia. He took to Instagram to remember his mom as his father faces being locked up for life, writing: 'Happy mother's Day Mommy !!!! I love you so much words can't express how much I wish I could call you right now!! 'Whenever I'm down i know that it's you picking me up right when I need it !! I Love you, wish I could hug you, kiss you and just talk to you !! 'I love you so much and I know that you are with me still watching over every step I take and every choice I make I love you mommy!!!! Happy Mother's Day!' The post was accompanied by photos of him as a child with his doting mom. Christian, known as King, 27, is the eldest child of the rapper, 55, and Porter, who died aged 47 in 2018 from lobar pneumonia. Diddy and Porter were in an on-off relationship from 1994-2007. They also share twin daughters Jessie and D'Lila, 18. Porter spoke rarely about her relationship with Combs, who she found out was expecting a child with a woman named Sarah Chapman at the same time she was having twins. She claimed to still be friends with the music mogul after they broke up. Porter had been photographed with Combs and their kids in the months before her death. The two even spent Mother's Day together in 2018 and had remained functioning co-parents to their three children. 'We're committed to our children even if we couldn't commit to each other,' Porter once said. Porter did not give much insight into why her relationship with Combs ultimately faltered, though Combs did tell Essence in 2006 that he wasn't ready to marry her. 'In ending this relationship, I made a decision that was in the best interest of myself, Sean and our family. I look forward to moving on with my life and my career and wish him prosperity, health and happiness in life and in love. We will remain friends and committed parents to our children,' Porter said in a statement after the pair broke up for the final time. Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial accused of abusing, threatening, and coercing women for years, including at 'freak off' orgy afterparties to his famed celebrity-filled events. Porter (second from left) poses with her kids and Combs on October 30, 2018, about two weeks before her death He faces life in prison on five federal charges: racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. Combs has plead not guilty to all the charges. His defense team has said the alleged victims are ex-girlfriends who willingly participated in threesomes. Prosecutors have said 'Victim 1', Cassie Ventura, plans to testify using her own name.
