Diddy Trial

While Diddy's sitting in jail awaiting sentencing in his federal criminal case ... he can celebrate a win in a civil lawsuit filed by a guy who claimed the mogul drugged him and sexually assaulted him in a nightclub.

The lawsuit was filed back in February, and the plaintiff said he was an up-and-coming 23-year-old artist in 2015 when he scored a gig at an L.A. nightclub ... where Diddy was in attendance.

The alleged details sound like several other Diddy lawsuits -- the John Doe plaintiff claimed he'd been given a drink, fell unconscious and woke up to Diddy having "unwanted sexual contact" with him. In the lawsuit, filed by attorney Tony Buzbee, Doe also claimed Diddy threatened his future career if he resisted.

Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan are considering taking legal action against one Diddy accuser after they were named in a suit ... which has since been thrown out.

We caught up with the powerhouse couple in New York City this week, where both Gloria and Emilio separately suggested to TMZ that they were thinking about suing after a man name dropped them -- and their Miami home -- in human trafficking claims against the Bad Boy Records founder.

Federal prosecutors are calling BS on Diddy's attempt to throw out his conviction on Mann Act charges in his criminal case.

Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York filed new legal docs Wednesday, torching Diddy's motion to get his conviction on 2 counts of the Mann Act overturned or, if not, getting a new trial.  As you know, the Mann Act prohibits the transportation of individuals across state lines for the purposes of prostitution.

Diddy's lawyers previously pointed out he made ZERO dollars off prostitution and insist the Mann Act is usually designed for going after people running sex rings.

They also say Diddy never had sex with the male sex workers, and never directly arranged for their transportation, claiming he was merely a voyeur who enjoyed recording his ex-girlfriends having sex.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is not going home to his family for at least another 7 weeks ... so, they're going to him.

The Bad Boy founder's family dropped by to see him Tuesday at MDC Brooklyn, where Diddy is being held until his October 3 sentencing.

Photos and videos show Diddy's loved ones arriving and leaving the jail where the mogul's been confined since his September 2024 arrest ... and he got to see 3 of his 7 kids.

Kid Cudi says he hated every minute of his time on the witness stand in Diddy's federal criminal trial ... but he ultimately went through with testifying because he wanted to support his ex, Cassie Ventura.

The rapper reflected on his experience with the Diddy case on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, telling host Alex Cooper he only testified because he was subpoenaed.

Cudi says he told the feds no a couple times, but they forced his hand ... and he explained why he ditched a suit and tie in favor of a more casual outfit when it came time to testify.

Sean "Diddy" Combs would be Team Trump if the President doles out a pardon ... and for a variety of reasons ... so says his longtime attorney Mark Geragos.

Harvey asked Geragos on the "2 Angry Men" podcast if Diddy would pledge allegiance to Trump in exchange for clemency.

As Diddy's longtime attorney, Mark talks to Diddy often ... and he says Diddy would absolutely become a Trump supporter overnight ... but not for the reason you may be thinking.

Diddy will probably be sentenced to confinement for 1 to 3 years, and his lawyer may ask the judge to let him do the time at his home.

Marc Agnifilo -- the lead lawyer on Diddy's legal team -- tells us Diddy needs and wants therapy for both anger issues and substance abuse ... but says prisons aren't equipped to provide optimal help in those areas.

Harvey asked Agnifilo squarely -- will he ask the judge to place his client on home confinement rather than prison when he is sentenced, and he said that's on the table.

Diddy isn't going to celebrate his release from prison with an arena tour -- his lawyer says his client will have more important personal matters to address.

Marc Agnifilo -- the lead lawyer from Diddy's legal team who got him acquitted on the 3 main charges -- clarified his comment to CBS News about a possible Madison Square Garden show.

Agnifilo tells us the team's top priority is getting Diddy a fair sentence so he can pay his debt to society as quickly as possible ... and, when he gets out, Diddy won't be focused on music.

Diddy isn't done with the stage and he's already planning a huge comeback performance at Madison Square Garden after his prison release ... at least according to his lawyer.

Diddy’s lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, sat down with Jericka Duncan for his first interview since the highly publicized trial — airing tomorrow on "CBS Mornings" — where he opened up about Diddy’s post-release plans.

Agnifilo starts off by saying Diddy's looking forward to being reunited with his family and taking care of his mother ... but then the high-profile defense attorney spills on one of Diddy's post-release career goals.

President Trump would hit a home run if he were to grant Sean "Diddy" Combs a pardon for his prostitution conviction ... at least according to Mark Geragos.

The famed defense attorney was flying out of LAX on Monday when a photog asked him about a potential Trump pardon for Diddy.

Mark, whose daughter Teny defended Diddy in his federal criminal trial, says it's looking more and more likely that Trump will give Diddy clemency ... especially after the President's most recent comments on the case.

Sean "Diddy" Combs isn't going anywhere, at least for now ... he was again hoping for a taste of freedom, but the judge in his criminal case just denied bail, for the second time, pending his upcoming sentencing.

Judge Arun Subramanian ruled Monday against granting Diddy bail ... siding with federal prosecutors and keeping Diddy locked up at MDC Brooklyn as he awaits his October 3 sentencing for his conviction on a couple Mann Act charges.

In his order, the judge said there were no "exceptional reasons" warranting a release before his sentence.

As we first reported, Diddy filed a new motion for bail last week ... with his legal team arguing he's probably the only man in America behind bars for hiring and transporting male sex workers across state lines to bang his girlfriend.

Diddy's ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh -- Victim No. 3 in the federal indictment who was a no-show in court after prosecutors subpoenaed her -- just went to bat for him in his bid to get out of jail pending sentencing.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Gina pens a letter to the judge in Diddy's criminal case ... supporting Diddy's motion for bail.

Gina says she's known Diddy for years and that she's mostly seen him as a father, family man and business man ... not a criminal.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is firing back at federal prosecutors who want to keep him locked up at least another two months ... he says they're hellbent on punishing him for hiring adult male prostitutes and paying them handsomely to bang his girlfriends.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's legal team rips the feds ... claiming prosecutors are unfairly targeting him as they have throughout a "misplaced investigation"

Diddy's camp comes out firing ... "Impervious to the jury’s verdict, the government proceeds as though Combs was not acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, along with all the racketeering acts with which he was charged and found not guilty."

Donald Trump is addressing whether he will pardon Diddy and, while he didn't seem very open to the idea ... he didn't completely shut the door either.

47 sat down for an interview Friday with Newsmax's Rob Finnerty on his show, "Finnerty," and when their convo turned to Diddy ... things got very interesting.

Finnerty asked Trump if he would pardon Diddy, who was recently found guilty on two counts of the Mann Act, which is transporting someone across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. At his federal trial, Diddy was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Diddy wants his conviction on 2 counts of the Mann Act overturned, and if not, he's demanding a whole new trial on those charges ... according to new docs filed late Wednesday night.

It's pretty stunning, but in the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy and his defense team make the case for Judge Arun Subramanian changing the Mann Act conviction to an acquittal. Here's why ... the Mann Act involves transporting someone across state lines for the purpose of sex.

But, Diddy's team says they believe he's the only person ever convicted under this statute who did not make money off prostitution, did not have sex with an alleged prostitute and did not arrange the prostitute's transportation.

Diddy's got a mountain of civil lawsuits to fight now that his criminal case is over, and he's getting started while he sits in a federal detention center ... and one of them is a suit involving his son Christian "King" Combs and a yacht party.

The Bad Boy founder is a codefendant in a civil suit accusing King of forcing himself on a woman on a yacht Diddy allegedly chartered.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy is arguing the case, filed in California, should be tossed because the court has no jurisdiction over him ... he says he's been a Florida resident for more than 5 years and points out he's been incarcerated in a Brooklyn jail since his September 2024 arrest.
