Chaos at Diddy's trial: a woman burst in screaming before the jury was formed

The federal trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs  for sex trafficking and organized crime experienced a tense moment on Tuesday morning, when  a woman unexpectedly burst into the courtroom before the jury was seated.

The incident occurred on day 15 of the proceedings, just as Judge Arun Subramanian was debating with the prosecution and defense the admissibility of a series of video evidence. The footage, which would be shown later, was being challenged by the defense, which argued that some edits distorted the context of the events.

Meanwhile, the prosecution argued that the timestamps on the security recordings were not always accurate, and defended the validity of the footage. The prosecution also announced its intention to present phone recordings made by Diddy from prison, in which he allegedly organized virtual birthday celebrations.

Scandal during the hearing

While the parties were discussing technical details of the video featuring "Mia", a former employee of the artist who testified under a pseudonym, a woman at the back of the courtroom began to shout.

The situation became chaotic when  the visibly agitated woman stood up and began hurling insults at Diddy. Among her shouts was the phrase "It's not a fucking game!", followed by a direct warning: "They're coming for you!"

Judge Subramanian ordered her immediate removal. Security officers acted quickly and escorted her out of the premises to restore order.

The jury was assembled after the interruption

After the incident, the jury was called in to resume the judicial proceedings. The prosecution called  Eddy García, former security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. That establishment was the scene of the alleged assault against Cassie, whose recording went viral. The hotel no longer operates at that location.

Meanwhile, outside the New York courthouse, dozens of people gathered to closely follow the progress of the case.  TMZ released footage of the exterior atmosphere, where onlookers and media awaited updates on the trial that has the entertainment world on edge.
