Diddy trial live updates: Ex-assistant Mia continues testimony in Sean Combs's sex-trafficking case
Sean 'Diddy' Combs could be sent to prison for life if convicted at his trial on federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, which started May 5 in New York. You might remember Sean Combs's effort to make voting 'sexy' in 2004. This was back when the Iraq War was raging, John F. Kerry was challenging incumbent George W. Bush for the presidency, and people still called Combs 'P. Diddy.' His 'Vote or Die!' campaign was billed as a historic project to increase the hip-hop-adjacent youth vote, pulling in the likes of Russell Simmons, 50 Cent and MTV in various capacities. 'I'm trying to light the spark and start the flame,' Combs was quoted as saying.

A Hot Piece Of Garbage
Harvey Weinstein, the catalyst for the #MeToo movement in the late 2010s, just gave his first interview in eight years. The infamous studio mogul spoke to conservative commentator Candace Owens and claimed he was wrongfully convicted. Weinstein is amid a retrial after the New York State appeals court overturned his 2020 conviction last year. Kennedy has much to say about the matter and points out the similarities between him and P. Diddy.

Diddy trial live updates: Court falls silent as 'freak off' images shown - and Diddy leans over lawyer to look
Combs apparently told hotel staff: 'I don't want to lose anything and I can lose it all' While we wait for today's court session to resume, we can bring you some information from an exhibit that has been entered into evidence. This is an email sent by LAPD officer Israel Florez, who previously worked as a security officer at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. He was the first witness to give evidence to the trial, telling the court on Monday how he was on duty on 5 March 2016 - the day of an alleged physical attack on Cassie Ventura by Sean Combs. Footage of the rapper running down a hotel hallway and then appearing to beat Ms Ventura outside a lift - wearing only socks with a towel around his waist - has been played in court. The video was first made public in May 2024. Now, we have details of an email Mr Florez sent about the incident. It includes pictures of what looks like a smashed vase - which was spoken about during his evidence - and details how he received a call at 11.14am to reports of a distress call on the sixth floor of the hotel. Looking at security cameras, he says he could see "a male black wearing only a towel walking back and forth". When he arrived at the floor about a minute later, he says he realised the man was "rapper Sean Combs aka P Diddy". In the email, Mr Florez says Combs began "yelling at Miss CC" - this is what Combs called Ms Ventura, he says - and that he advised them to separate. As he told the court in his testimony on Monday, Mr Florez says in the email that Combs offered him money, which he declined. After checking on Ms Ventura, he says in the email that he and another member of staff went back to Combs's room to let him know damages would be charged to his room. "When Mr Combs came out he was about to start yelling (still in his towel)," the email continues, but the two staff members "stopped him before he did and advised him that we were not there to make it bigger than it already was". Combs saw the other staff member holding his phone and "automatically assumed he was being recorded so he grabbed his hand", the email says. "He was then told no one was recording him that the safety and the privacy of the guest is important to the hotel and if he tried to do something like that he would get kicked out and escorted out of property by LAPD". Mr Combs calmed down and apologised after this, the email says. The rapper apparently told them: "It's just that I don't want to lose anything and I can lose it all."
