Sean "Diddy" Combs has filed a request through his attorney to appear unshackled during court proceedings. The motion, submitted late on Monday, Nov. 18, argues that shackling the music mogul creates risks of juror bias and hampers his ability to communicate with his defense team. “We write on behalf of our client, Mr. Sean Combs, to respectfully request that the Court direct the United States Marshals Service to unshackle Mr. Combs prior to bringing him into the courtroom for tomorrow's hearing and for all future court appearances,” his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, wrote in court documents obtained by PEOPLE. This request follows Combs’ Oct. 10 court appearance, during which he remained in leg shackles. Agnifilo stated there was “no justification” for such treatment and highlighted concerns that media coverage of his shackling could influence potential jurors. “Given the press attention on the pretrial proceedings in this case, there is a substantial risk that potential jurors will learn about the shackling through the media and develop such a bias,” Agnifilo argued. The motion also claims that shackling interferes with Combs’ ability to effectively communicate with his legal counsel, undermining the respectful treatment of defendants. ### Allegations of Jail Violations The motion comes amidst allegations from prosecutors that Combs violated jail rules. According to documents filed on Friday, Nov. 15, Combs used a "non-authorized third-party messaging service" to communicate with multiple people while incarcerated in Brooklyn. Prosecutors further allege that he enlisted his children to launch a social media campaign tied to his birthday, potentially influencing jurors. This follows Combs’ unsuccessful bail motion earlier this month. His attorneys proposed a $50 million bail package, arguing that newly surfaced evidence supports his release. The prosecution, however, pointed to Combs’ history of alleged “freak offs” and referenced a March 2016 video, described in the indictment as evidence of assault. Combs’ defense pushed back, claiming the video showed a consensual relationship, not coercion. “The video is not evidence of a coerced 'freak off,' but rather a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship between Mr. Combs and Victim 1,” his lawyers stated in the motion. ### Trial Scheduled for May 2025 Facing racketeering and sex trafficking charges, Combs has pleaded not guilty to all allegations. His trial is currently set for May 2025. Meanwhile, the motion to appear unshackled remains a focal point of his defense strategy as the high-profile case continues to draw significant public and media attention. #Diddy #SeanCombs #LegalBattle #CourtAppearance #RacketeeringCase #JurorBias #MediaCoverage  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The legal troubles surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs have escalated as five new lawsuits accuse the music mogul of drugging and sexually assaulting both men and women over a two-decade span. The allegations, which range from 2001 to 2022, detail disturbing incidents at parties and events in New York City, Miami, and the Hamptons.   Filing anonymously under the names "Jane Doe" and "John Doe," the plaintiffs allege patterns of misconduct involving drugs, coercion, and threats to ensure silence. Two of the female plaintiffs claim they were minors at the time of the alleged assaults, while three male accusers describe being drugged and sodomized by Combs and his associates.   One of the most notable accusations centers on Combs' 2004 White Party in the Hamptons, where a seventeen-year-old Jane Doe claims she was forced to surrender her cell phone and purse before entering the event. According to the lawsuit, after consuming a drink provided at the party, she lost consciousness and woke up to find she had been sexually assaulted. She alleges that Combs and his bodyguards warned her to stay silent, stating, "He runs New York and would ruin her."   Another lawsuit details a 2001 casting call for a music video in New York City, where John Doe claims he was offered a Diet Coke that was laced with drugs. He recounts losing consciousness and waking up disoriented, realizing he had been assaulted by both Combs and his bodyguard.   Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the plaintiffs, has publicly committed to holding Combs accountable. “These individuals were victimized by someone who used power and privilege as a shield. We will not stop seeking justice for these survivors,” he said. Buzbee and his co-counsel, Andrew Van Arsdale, have already filed twenty lawsuits against Combs, representing over one hundred plaintiffs, and have announced plans to continue filing weekly.   In response, Combs’ legal team has vehemently denied the allegations, labeling them as baseless and motivated by financial gain. “As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,” read a statement provided to CNN. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”   The allegations have also sparked legal pushback against Buzbee. An anonymous celebrity, reportedly implicated in the lawsuits, has filed a counterclaim accusing Buzbee of extortion. The celebrity alleges that Buzbee used “false and malicious” claims to pressure settlements, a charge Buzbee denies.   Currently, Sean Combs remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on separate charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Prosecutors have indicated the possibility of additional charges or defendants being added before the trial commences.   As more allegations emerge, the entertainment industry faces renewed scrutiny over its handling of power dynamics and misconduct. For Combs, the lawsuits threaten not just his legal standing but also the legacy of a career that has shaped modern music and culture.   #SeanCombs #Diddy #Lawsuits #SexualAssault #TonyBuzbee #EntertainmentNews #LegalUpdates   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Federal prosecutors are urging a judge not to grant Sean "Diddy" Combs bail, accusing the music mogul of witness tampering and attempting to influence potential jurors from his cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Combs, the founder of Bad Boy Records, faces serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. In a motion filed Friday, prosecutors emphasized that Combs has made relentless efforts to contact witnesses, including some of his alleged victims. They claim that Combs has gone to great lengths to manipulate the judicial process, using unauthorized communication methods and involving his children to gain sympathy from the public. "Despite being in jail, the defendant has managed to communicate with multiple individuals he should not have contacted," prosecutors wrote. "These efforts include using PAC numbers belonging to other inmates and making three-way calls to reach out to individuals, including his sons and other key witnesses." One of the most concerning allegations involves Combs’ use of a third-party communication service, ContactMeASAP, which allowed him to bypass standard jail communication protocols. Details of specific calls remain redacted, but prosecutors referenced a phone call between Combs and one of his sons in October. While the contents of that call are not fully disclosed, authorities suggest it implies a strategy to silence or manipulate victims and witnesses. According to the prosecutors, the call "provides the clear inference that the defendant’s goal is to blackmail victims and witnesses either into silence or providing testimony helpful to his defense." Combs has also allegedly tried to sway public perception of his case. Prosecutors highlighted an incident in which Combs' son, Justin, posted a video on Instagram of the family singing happy birthday to the jailed music mogul. Combs, who turned 55 on Nov. 4, allegedly monitored the video’s analytics from jail, instructing his family on how to maximize its impact. "The defendant discussed ways to ensure that the video had his desired effect on potential jury members in this case," prosecutors claimed. Combs' legal team has pushed back, arguing that the accusations are overblown. They insist that the charges are not as strong as prosecutors claim and that certain incidents, like a 2016 video showing him allegedly assaulting a woman in a Los Angeles hotel, have been misconstrued. “The video is not evidence of a coerced 'freak off,' but rather a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship between Mr. Combs and Victim 1,” the defense countered in a Nov. 8 filing. Seeking another shot at bail, Combs' attorneys have proposed stringent release conditions. The defense suggested home detention, 24/7 security monitoring, and severe restrictions on his ability to communicate with anyone besides his legal team. They maintain that the current pre-trial detention is excessive, given the circumstances. Combs' next opportunity to argue for bail comes as his case moves closer to trial, currently set for May 2025. As he continues to plead not guilty, the defense and prosecution remain locked in a battle over the mogul's conduct behind bars and the strength of the case against him.
