Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs looks bloated, old in NYC court — as he faces 3 more sex abuse allegations

Sean “Diddy” Combs looked bloated and old in Manhattan court Friday — where he faced fresh allegations that he sexually abused three more victims.

Combs, 55, sporting a puffy figure and gray hair and a gray chinstrap beard, pleaded not guilty to new indictments — which accuse the hip-hop mogul of sexually abusing three victims for at least two decades from 2004 to 2024. 

However, the disgraced rapper isn’t facing any new charges.

The docs also claim that Combs “forced labor” by demanding employees to work long hours and threatened to punish those who wouldn’t assist in the sex-trafficking scheme.

Manhattan Federal Judge Arun Subramanian said that the music mogul’s trial will start on May 12, with jury selection beginning on May 5.

Several family members were inside the courtroom to support Combs, who lounged in his seat wearing a tan prison jumpsuit. At the end of the hearing, Combs stood and hugged one of his attorneys — before blowing a two-handed kiss toward his family sitting in the courtroom.

Combs is accused of conspiracy and sex trafficking for allegedly abusing, threatening and coercing women for years to carry out his sexual desires, including drugging women and forcing them into days-long sex orgies with prostitutes, which he dubbed “Freak-Offs.”

On Friday, Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, was asked about his claims that the infamous tape showing him beating up his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura on March 5, 2016, was “substantially altered” by CNN.

Federal prosecutors said they plan to use the tape as direct evidence during the trial.

Combs’ attorney claimed that the video is “deceptive” and “not in accordance with the actions that took place,” according to his team’s visual expert.

The disturbing CNN video, published in May, showed Combs kicking and dragging Ventura in the hallway of an InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.

Agnifilo said the video, which is a copy of the hotel’s surveillance video, “took things out of sequence” by making it quicker by about 50%.

Combs’ attorneys are expected to file a motion to expand on their arguments later Friday.

Combs’ attorneys declined to comment after the proceeding.
