Celebs Who 'Should Potentially Be Worried' As Diddy's Trial Is Set To Expose 'Freak-Offs' Guest List

Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex crimes trial is now in full swing, and it's expected to intensify with the release of the guest list from the rapper's infamous parties known as "Freak-Offs."

Already, jurors have received a list of people connected to the embattled music mogul, although it remains unclear whether those people actually attended the parties.

Now, a legal expert has warned that anyone whose name appears on Sean "Diddy" Combs' freak-off guest list should be worried, especially if the rapper is ultimately convicted in the trial.

Since the revelation that Diddy often hosted "Freak-Offs," speculation has swirled about who was involved in the hedonistic parties.

A lot of names have popped up on social media, although none have been confirmed by federal prosecutors.

That now seems set to change amid the rapper's trial, with the potential release of a guest list naming those who attended or had any connection to the alleged drug-fueled sex marathons.

"I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing the names of other people who participated in the freak-off," said Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and co-founder of West Coast Trial Lawyers, per the U.S. Sun.

Speaking on the potential revelation of the list, Rahmani warned that those named should be worried about the possibility of charges being brought against them.

"There are two sets of people that should potentially be worried. Obviously, if anyone participated in these freak-offs and sexually assaulted victims, they can be charged or sued civilly," he said. "But there are also individuals in Diddy's entourage that maybe helped set up the freak-offs. Those individuals could potentially also be charged."

During jury selection, potential jurors were presented with a list of individuals linked to Sean "Diddy" Combs through personal or professional associations.

The list included several high-profile names, such as actors Michael B. Jordan and Mike Myers, along with rappers Kid Cudi and Kanye West.

Although their inclusion does not confirm that they attended Diddy's alleged "Freak-Off" parties, the legal expert cautioned that even being mentioned by witnesses could "certainly tarnish their reputation."

Rahmani further warned that if Diddy is convicted, the ripple effects could be significant, especially for other celebrities not facing criminal charges but named in civil lawsuits filed since his September arrest.

"The other celebrities, they've been able to avoid potential criminal charges, but if Diddy is convicted and others are implicated, they should certainly be worried that they may be next," the former federal prosecutor said.

While there are four victims named in the superseding indictment against Diddy, only one has been publicly identified so far: Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura.

The alleged victim dated the rapper on and off from 2007 to 2018 and was seen being assaulted by him in a viral video from 2016.

Despite how damaging her testimony and that of other witnesses may be for the embattled rapper, Rahmani believes the videos seized from Diddy's residences in Miami and Los Angeles prior to his arrest could inflict even greater damage on his defense.

"The most powerful evidence that was seized by the government has to be the videos," the attorney said. "Criminal defendants can lie. Only when CNN got a copy of the [Cassie]  video in May of last year did Diddy finally issue an apology."

He added, "That's how powerful video evidence is. And that's why the government wanted to get the hard drives, the iPhones, [and] the iPads, because Diddy reportedly videotaped these freak-offs. It may be the reason Combs gets convicted."

On Monday, opening statements were heard in Diddy's trial, with two witnesses also taking the stand, per The U.S. Sun.

Both witnesses, LAPD officer Israel Florez and a male escort named Daniel Phillip, testified to Diddy's potential for violence.

Florez, who was working as a security guard at the hotel where Diddy allegedly assaulted Cassie, claimed he saw a "devilish stare" on the rapper when he responded to the scene of the incident.

Meanwhile, Phillip stated that on two separate occasions, he witnessed Diddy assaulting Cassie. In the first, Diddy allegedly threw a bottle at his ex-girlfriend, grabbed her by the hair, and began dragging her.

In the second, he reportedly "slapped her around" after she appeared to have upset him over an undisclosed incident.

Meanwhile, prosecutors have vowed to expose Diddy's "20 years of crime," ranging from kidnapping, arson, drugs, sex crimes, bribery, and obstruction.

"To the public, he was Puff Daddy or Diddy. A cultural icon. A businessman. Larger than life," Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson said. "But there was another side to him. A side that ran a criminal enterprise."

She continued, "During this trial, you are going to hear about 20 years of the defendant's crimes. But he didn't do it alone. He had an inner circle of bodyguards and high-ranking employees who helped him commit crimes and cover them up."
