But the A-list actors aren't accused of anything − they've only been mentioned in the background of events Combs attended. For example, a former assistant identified as Mia alleged that she witnessed a 2012 discussion betweenCombs and Cassie Ventura Fineescalate at the premiere of aPittfilm during the Cannes Film Festival in France. She claimed she saw Combs grit his teeth while digging his nails into Ventura Fine's arm, and he eventually insisted that Ventura Fine leave. Mia also referenced a high-stakes poker game between Combs andDiCaprioin texts she sent him around 2020. In one message, she wrote that Combs said, while cursing: "That 'Titanic' (guy) doesn't know (anything). He won $10,000, I won $650,000." Federal prosecutors on June 5 referred to Combs' former staffer Khorram as "an agent and co-conspirator" of the rapper. That doesn't mean she's about to face charges; instead, it indicates she's likely reached an agreement with prosecutors and will testify. The designation also comes as prosecutors submitted a text from Ventura Fine to Khorram aboutthe alleged 2016 balcony incidentin which Combs attacked Bryana "Bana" Bongolan. The message from Ventura Fine said Combs "went at Bana, choked her, dangled her feet off the balcony. This is crazy. I have to get away."

The court saw texts from Ventura Fine to Khorram, dating back to 2017 and 2018. "No one deserves to bedragged by their hair," Cassie wrote in one. In another, she said, "I can't do the violent, scary, kick-me-out-my-own-house thing anymore." There was also a 2023 text from Combs' other ex"Jane"to Khorram, in which she said, "No more hard-partying and no morehotel nights." She also said she wanted to celebrate Combs' birthday normally. Judge Arun Subramaniandismissed juror No. 6 on June 16, apparently over the juror's statements about where he lives and who he lives with at home. The move came after nearly a week of back-and-forth over whatprosecutors had describedas the man's "lack of candor" about his living situation. The juror is a41-year-old Black male, but no other details were immediately available. During jury selection, the man apparently said he lives with his partner and daughter in the Bronx. But last week, he reportedly said he's been living with his family in New Jersey. An alternate juror was subsequently promoted to take his place: a 57-year-old accountant from Westchester County,according tomultiple reports. He is a white man. Combs' lawyers have claimed the dismissal of Juror No. 6 indicates the prosecution'sracial bias. Despite videos circulating online, which appear to show artificially generated court sketches of Eddie Murphy testifying at Combs' trial, the actor hasn't been in the courtroom and isn't expected to be called as a witness. While aspecter of celebrityhangs heavy over the proceedings, many of the big names roped in have merely been name-drops from the standby lesser-known witnesses from Combs' inner circle. The only true "celebrities" to testify thus far have beenCasandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine,Kid Cudiand Danity Kane singerDawn Richard. The disgraced music mogul remains in custody, and, despite repeated attempts at bail,has remainedconfined to the Special Housing Unit in Brooklyn'sMetropolitan Detention Center. He has been in jail sincehis arreston Sept. 16, 2024. Combs is facing federal sex-crimes and trafficking charges in a sprawling case that has eroded his status as a power player and kingmaker in the entertainment industry. He was arrested inSeptember 2024and later charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper has pleaded not guilty to the five counts against him. Racketeering is the participation in an illegal scheme under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Statute, or RICO, as a way for the U.S. government to prosecute organizations that contribute to criminal activity. Using RICO law, which is typically aimed attargeting multi-person criminal organizations,prosecutors allegethat Combs coerced victims, some of whom they say were sex workers, through intimidation and narcotics to participate in"freak offs"— sometimes dayslong sex performances that federal prosecutors allege they have video of. The trial will not be televised, as cameras are typically not allowed in federal criminal trial proceedings.
