A judge has threatened to throw Sean “Diddy” Combs out of the courtroom on day 18 of his sex trafficking trial. The hip-hop mogul had been nodding vigorously at the jury in a New York court where he is accused of using violence and coercion to force days-long participation in drug-fuelled orgies they called “freak offs”. Combs was called out for flashing facial expressions to the jury after a testimony given by Bryana Bongolan, a friend of Combs’ former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
While she acknowledged not remembering all the details, “I will never forget him holding me on that balcony”. Combs allegedly came up behind her, picked her up, and held her on top of the rail for about 10 to 15 seconds, she said. “For a second, I thought I was going to fall.” She said that Combs yelled at her and she didn’t know why. In another part of her testimony, Bongolan said Combs allegedly told her something along the lines of “I am the devil and I can kill you”.
