Judge lashes out at Diddy and threatens to boot him from the courtroom for ‘nodding vigorously’ at jury

  • On June 5, 2025, Judge Arun Subramanian warned Sean 'Diddy' Combs he could be removed from the New York courtroom for interacting with the jury.
  • This warning followed Combs' behavior during the cross-examination of witness Bryana Bongolan, when he nodded vigorously and made facial expressions at jurors.
  • Combs is facing federal allegations related to sex trafficking and operating a racketeering enterprise, to which he has pleaded not guilty, while witness accounts from individuals such as Jane and Bongolan describe instances of coercion and abuse.
  • Judge Subramanian described Combs' behavior as completely unacceptable and warned that any further communication with the jury would lead to his removal from the courtroom.
  • The judge’s order suggests that any additional inappropriate behavior from Combs could result in his removal from the courtroom, as the trial proceeds on serious federal charges that carry potential prison sentences ranging from 15 years to life.
