If that’s the case why wouldn’t they just present that as their defense in the original trial? This feels like they’re just trying a completely new defense.

Interesting-Value690 Apr 9, 2026 +94

I'd guess that they didn't use it as a defense in the first trial because it takes money, time and traceable interactions to manufacture false evidence. How much money would it take for you to sign (and back date) a p*** contract for a monster?

soapinthepeehole Apr 10, 2026 +10

I thought appeal was only for challenging the legitimacy of the prosecution. I’m not a lawyer but I was under the impression that you can’t just on a new defense when appealing.

You can't raise new arguments on appeal. This probably was in a pre trial motion to dismiss .

MrDerpGently Apr 9, 2026 +46

After further consideration, would the court consider a little leniency if most... well, many of the participants were there consensually?

This randomly gave me an idea for a dark comedy/ drama movie: an improv troupe full of troubled but well meaning amateur actors whose “yes ands” gradually get more and more extreme until they end up committing extreme crimes / acts

Probably went with the Trump method of denying everything about every single charge and that obviously didn’t work

i still do and drugs are extremely prohibited on any production set. you can’t consent if you’re high. where are the film release? (required) Where are the 2257?

Where is the location release and all the other safety documents and require requirements that we do on every single scene I’ve ever been on… where are they Diddy?

They know this because most adults know that drugs can also be absorbed by the body internally, not just by sniffing, smoking or consumption.

5

Encyclopenia Apr 9, 2026 +2

… the f*** ? Are you saying it’s defamatory to say he beat and dragged a woman by the hair ? Because there is actual footage of this, so I really don’t get it ?

2

chiaboy Apr 9, 2026 -1

No. I’m saying it’s out of scope for the trial and related legal defense. Ie the topic. It’s like discussing the attack on Iran and then bringing up the fact that Trump buried his first wife on a golf course. Yeah we know he’s a piece of shit but that’s not what we’re discussing.

-1

Encyclopenia Apr 9, 2026 +2

Hence … the comment specifying it was rhetorical

2

chiaboy Apr 9, 2026 -1

Exactly. It has nothing to do with the trial, the appeal, the charges or the first amendment. Rhetorical in the stupidest f****** way

Encyclopenia Apr 9, 2026 +4

I think a lot of people fail to realize how defense treats victims on the stand in sexual assault cases. That’s true for women who were abused by no-name predators. I could not imagine testifying as a victim in such a high-profile situation. It has to be worse. You are right, it’s up to the victim to decide what justice looks like.

Red-Sun-Cinema Apr 9, 2026 +14

I guess all those men and women who accused Diddy of being drugged and raped against their will were just amateur p*** stars trying to break into the industry. If so, why would they go through him since he has no foot in the professional p*** industry. Just another lame excuse he's using to get out of serving time.

> Diddy's lawyers claim the Mann Act doesn't apply ... "Freak-offfs and hotel nights were highly choreographed sexual performances involving the use of costumes, role play, and staged lighting which were filmed so Combs and his girlfriends could watch this amateur p********** later. P********** production and viewing of this sort is protected by the First Amendment and thus cannot constitutionally be prosecuted." > Prosecutors call the claims "meritless, but Diddy's prosecution is not a classic Mann Act. > Diddy's legal team is also arguing the 50-month sentence is out of line with sentencing guidelines -- they say the typical sentence is 15 months. Diddy has served 19 months. > The Defense says the judge considered evidence connected to the more serious charges -- racketeering and sex trafficking -- of which Diddy was acquitted. In other words, any evidence of force or coercion, so says the defense, was out of bounds for the judge to consider, and that includes the Cassie video.
