Diddy Trial

Diddy is facing another alleged abuse lawsuit ... with a woman claiming he dangled her over the edge of a balcony, 17 stories off the ground.

Bryana “Bana” Bongolan filed the lawsuit in L.A. Superior Court earlier this week ... suing Diddy for sexual battery, false imprisonment, and other claims.

In the suit, Bongolan accuses Diddy of dangling her over the edge of a balcony at his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's apartment in September 2016.

Diddy is staying behind bars ... after a judge just ruled his bail is denied because no conditions can assure the safety of the community.

In his decision, filed Wednesday the judge in the case wrote there is a serious risk of witness tampering and direct evidence of Combs' violence ... pointing to the infamous 2016 video of Diddy beating Cassie and subsequent text messages with her.

In the texts, included in the judge's decision, Cassie wrote to Diddy about her injuries ... adding he was "sick for thinking it's OK to do what you've done."

Diddy will be spending his Thanksgiving either on house arrest inside a cozy NYC apartment or behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center ... and we got the 411 on his prison meal if he stays locked up.

The disgraced music mogul will have to endure a yucky turkey dinner in the slammer if a federal judge rejects his fourth request for bail this week.

As you know, Diddy has already been shot down two other times by judges to be released on $50 million bond as he put up his Miami Beach mansion as collateral and offered to be placed on house arrest with 24/7 security, among other conditions.

Diddy's twin daughters might be running back and forth between L.A. and NYC to support their dad, but they're still high school students ... and, they celebrated a big milestone last week.

D'Lila and Jessie Combs shared a pic of themselves to their joint Instagram account Sunday ... standing in their cheerleading uniforms with sashes reading "Senior" hung across their bodies.

The two girls are holding multicolored pompoms and making duck lips at the camera ... a sweet photo of two sisters celebrating another big milestone.

Diddy's house is underwhelming when you walk in and defintely not worth $60 million ... this according to the investor who says he's offering half the asking price.

We caught up with Bo Belmont -- founder and owner of real estate company Belwood Investments -- out in Los Angeles Friday ... and, we had to ask him about putting in a $30 million offer for the rapper's Holmby Hills mansion.

First off, Belmont says this is a real offer ... telling us his company has emailed the listing agent for the property -- though they haven't heard back yet.

The guy who's hawking a Kim Porter book allegedly based on her diary is taking shots at her in his legal battle with Diddy and Kim's sons ... and telling the boys to screw off.

Courtney Burgess and his attorney Ariel Mitchell fired off a nasty response to Christian and Quincy Combs after the brothers sent Burgess and Mitchell a cease-and-desist over the alleged Porter tell-all.

In the legal response, obtained by TMZ, Burgess and Mitchell take issue with Christian and Quincy claiming he is trying to capitalize on Kim's hard-earned fame by selling "Kim Porter Tell It All" ... they say Kim was not an actor or entertainer and her fame was solely tied to being Diddy's "long time paramour."

Diddy is in a New York courtroom, fighting to get out of jail on a $50 million bond as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges ... though he'll have to spend at least one more weekend in jail.

The Bad Boy Records founder appeared in court Friday without shackles ... going before a judge and pushing for his release.

It's the fourth time Diddy's trying to get out on bail ... after being denied three times. However, the judge just adjourned court for the day -- and a decision on bail will be rendered next week.

Diddy's family is supporting him in court as he tries to get out of jail, while he awaits trial in his criminal case ... with 6 of his children making the trip to a packed Manhattan federal courtroom today.

Sarah Chapman, who shares a daughter with Diddy, was the first one to walk in ... with their daughter Chance not far behind in a second group of family members.

Also accompanying Chance ... Diddy's 17-year-old twin daughters, Jesse and D'Lila, who he had with the late Kim Porter. Quincy Brown, Kim's son who Diddy adopted, also walked in with Diddy's daughters.

The lawyer representing more than 120 alleged victims of Diddy has now himself been sued for assault ... TMZ has learned.

A woman, suing as Jane Doe, claims to have been a former client of Tony Buzbee. She has filed a lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, in which she alleges the attorney assaulted her while repping her in a divorce case.

The documents do not lay out specifics of the alleged assault, but a source connected to the woman tells TMZ ... she is alleging she was in a public place when Buzbee saw her, flew into a "fit of rage" and allegedly pushed a champagne flute into her face, chipping her tooth. She says she has both medical and dental records to prove her injuries.

Diddy is accusing federal prosecutors of dirty pool ... claiming they showed the judge an edited version of the Cassie beating video to make him look more dangerous than he is.

Diddy and his attorneys filed new docs ahead of his bail hearing scheduled for Friday ... accusing prosecutors of mischaracterizing and concealing critical facts, including allegedly editing the sequence of events from the March 2016 surveillance video.

They claim the government has the more complete version of that surveillance video -- presumably the version the world saw when it was released -- but, instead, tweaked the order of events to offer their "most powerful evidence of danger and obstruction."

Diddy is being sued for more alleged sexual assaults ... with the alleged victims claiming they were drugged ... but he's denying it all.

Tony Buzbee, the Texas attorney representing more than 120 alleged Diddy victims, just filed five new lawsuits against the Bad Boy Records founder.

In one suit, obtained by TMZ, a woman from Maryland claims she was 18 years old in 2001 when Diddy sexually assaulted her outside a Halloween party in New York City.

The Feds' raid on Diddy's jail cell has proved to be inconsequential, for now ... as a judge sided with the rapper's defense team after hearing arguments from both sides.

A hearing over the search at MDC Brooklyn was held on Tuesday, after Diddy's defense team accused prosecutors of obtaining privileged material in an unlawful raid on the rap mogul's prison cell.

While the prosecution denied intentionally seizing 19 pages of legal notes, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled they would need to destroy copies of the papers obtained in the search -- saying they should not consult the material until he made a final decision on whether they could be used in the trial.

A TikToker who alleges private investigators showed up at his house to dig for dirt on celebs tied to Diddy's legal drama is speaking to TMZ about the interaction he caught on camera ... making it clear the whole thing has him pretty shaken.

TikToker Samson Crouppen (@samsoncrouppen1) told "TMZ Live" Tuesday he's nervous even talking to us, especially after name-dropping some big celebs in his Diddy videos -- adding he never meant to get tangled up in the disgraced mogul’s mess like this.

You gotta watch the full video -- Samson breaks down how he found the 2 guys lurking outside his backyard in L.A., and how freaked out he was when they started interrogating him. And, if that wasn’t bad enough, he said his wife’s pissed at him over the whole thing too!

Diddy's lawyers are calling BS on federal prosecutors who have claimed they did not seize the mogul's trial strategy materials during a recent raid of his jail cell.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, says prison officials took photos of 19 pages of material from Diddy's cell -- which he says included 11 pages of trial strategy notes and correspondence with his lawyers.

The feds claimed Monday in legal docs they saw a manila folder labeled "legal" and did not even open it. They acknowledged taking photos of Diddy's notebook which they say they handed over to a "filter team" to check whether any of the material was privileged. Now Diddy's lawyers are calling shenanigans.

Private investigators are allegedly on the hunt to find influencers who know about celebrities entangled in Diddy's criminal and civil cases ... and now the LAPD is involved.

TikTok user Samson Crouppen, aka @samsoncrouppen1, posted a video on his account Monday showing what appears to be 2 private investigators who came to his doorstep in L.A., asking what he knows about celebrities linked to Diddy.

The TikToker seems shocked, questioning why the men showed up at his house. The P.I.s asked if he'd been paid to talk about the Diddy content on his platform, and he replied, "No."

Diddy's sons are waging their own legal battle now, warning the man who's hawking a Kim Porter book -- allegedly based on her diary -- to shut it down or face a lawsuit.

Christian and Quincy Combs, fired off a cease and desist letter to a guy named Courtney Burgess and his attorney Ariel Mitchell over "Kim Porter Tell It All ('Tell It All')" ... a book currently sold online under the pseudonym Jamal Millwood.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, the Combs bros say they became the rightful heirs and owners of Kim's intellectual property rights following her death in November 2018 ... and therefore her purported diary entries belong to them.
