Diddy Will Testify in Criminal Case, Lawyer Says

Sean “Diddy” Combs will take the witness stand in his federal criminal case, reports TMZ.

The information comes from his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, who appears in TMZ Studios’ new Tubi doc “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.”

Testifying in court will force the music mogul to address some of the stomach-churning charges in the indictment. 

Agnifilo, however, tells TMZ that Diddy is his own best line of defense.

Combs is currently behind bars and awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. 

The explosive 14-page indictment alleges Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”

The papers continued, “To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled — creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

Prosecutors allege that abuse was “verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual.”

In addition, Combs is accused of orchestrating “Freak Offs” that involved, using “force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers.”

The indictment also specifically references a video uncovered by CNN in May of Combs in 2016 assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a hotel.

After the video surfaced, Diddy apologized for his actions in the video, calling his behavior “inexcusable.”

Combs’ legal battle has re-ignited his feud with 50 Cent!

After months of 50 teasing that he would be unleashing a “Diddy Do It?” documentary, it’s now official.

Netflix is producing a docuseries from Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson about the federal charges of sex trafficking and assault and the abuse allegations against Diddy.

In a statement, 50 said, "This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far. We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’s story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
