As his federal sex trafficking trial begins, Diddy was seen reading from the Bible in the courtroom—a moment some interpret as a sign he’s leaning on faith during one of the most high-stakes battles of his life. According to eyewitnesses, he sat quietly with a Bible in hand before the prosecution and his defense team delivered opening statements.
The courtroom scene was tense but composed. Diddy, wearing a sweater over a collared shirt, barely moved during the proceedings, aside from some foot fidgeting. His family, including several of his children and his mother Janice, sat stoically behind him, offering silent support.
Defense attorney Teny Geragos delivered the opening statement for Diddy’s team, though some jurors appeared drowsy during her remarks—perhaps due to the timing just before lunch. Meanwhile, others took extensive notes. In a lighter moment, Geragos and her husband were spotted kissing in the courthouse cafeteria, where she grabbed an egg salad and sparkling water.
Cassie’s name came up frequently during the proceedings, and her husband Alex Fine, who wore sunglasses, was also in attendance. With the first witness set to take the stand after lunch, Diddy’s courtroom posture—Bible in hand—sets the stage for a trial that promises to be both legally and emotionally intense.
