Diddy’s Daughters Exit Courtroom Amid Disturbing Testimony in Abuse Trial
Sean "Diddy" Combs has received more support throughout his trial than one would think, but not everyone stayed around for the graphic testimony.
Diddy is facing charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, yet still has been backed by numerous family members during the trial. His mother Janice Combs; sons Quincy, 33; Justin, 30; and Christian, 26; daughter Chance; and 18-year-old twins D’Lila and Jessie were present at the courthouse in downtown Manhattan as opening statements trial began Monday, May 12. The indictment claims that Combs organized "freak offs," which prosecutors describe as elaborate, staged sexual events involving women who were allegedly coerced or compelled to participate alongside male sex workers.
However, his three daughters exited the courtroom during his trial for sex crimes when a male sex worker testified about explicit and sensational details involving the music mogul's alleged behavior. People reported that the women twice excused themselves from the courtroom during the testimony.
The male escort stated in a Manhattan court on May 12 that Combs' former girlfriend had paid him to engage in sexual activity with her while Combs watched and masturbated in the corner. Phillip also claimed to have witnessed Combs behaving violently towards Ventura.

Daniel Phillip, a male escort, stated in a Manhattan court on May 12 that Combs' former girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, had paid him to engage in sexual activity with her. Phillip also claimed to have witnessed Combs behaving violently towards Ventura.
Diddy is also facing dozens of civil charges. Diddy's trial continues onto the third day as of May 14th.
