Diddy Trial Juror Dismissed for ‘Lack of Candor,’ Despite Defense Warnings About Racial Bias

A Diddy trial juror was dismissed by the judge, despite objections from defense attorneys that prosecutors wanted to remove a Black man from the jury.

Combs is standing trial over accusations that he ran a sprawling criminal operation aimed at facilitating “freak-offs” — elaborate events which he allegedly forced his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and other women to have sex with male escorts while he watched and masturbated. In court last week, defense attorney Xavier Donaldson called it a “thinly veiled effort to dismiss a Black juror.” And in a motion filed with the judge on Sunday, Diddy lawyer Alexandra A.E. Sean "Diddy" Combs speaks during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Legislative Conference National Town Hall on September 21, 2023 in Washington, DC.
