Diddy's family has put up a united front in supporting him during his ongoing criminal trial.

His mom, Janice Combs, sons Quincy, Justin, and Christian, as well as daughters Chance and twins D'Lila and Jessie, have all been in court since the trial began on May 12, making sure he doesn't feel alone as he attempts to prove his innocence.

The "Finna Get Loose" rapper faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution and could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted on the top charge.

However, just how much the rapper's children can take is in doubt, as his daughters, Chance, D'Lila, and Jessie Combs, all had to excuse themselves at some point while witnesses gave their testimony.

In one instance, male escort Daniel Philip, while recounting their sexual encounters, described how he had sex with Cassie while Diddy was "sitting in a corner masturbating" as he watched.

"We ended up having sex, rubbed baby oil on each other for a couple minutes," Phillip told jurors, per NBC News, noting Diddy was "sitting in a corner m-sturbating."

The girls seemingly missed out on attending Wednesday's session as they weren't seen entering the courtroom when Diddy's trial began, per the Daily Mail.

Diddy's daughters' reaction to the sex worker's graphic testimony has since gone viral on X, with many noting how much it must impact the young women.

One X user said in a viral post, "The daughters being the only ones walking out of the courtroom when the male escort took the stand SAID ALOT."

They further noted, "Seeing female family members distance themselves physically or emotionally on the first day of a trial involving trafficking and abuse towards women carries weight. It can subtly underscore the seriousness of the accusations or show further internal family disagreement."

Another person argued that while the girls left during an escort's testimony, they were present during Cassie's and even "stared her down."

They wrote, "What does it say about them that during today's testimonyโ€”while being shown a video of Diddy beating Cassie's a-sโ€”they were more focused on staring her down than showing any sign of remorse or concern?"

One more person slammed the rapper's sons and mother, commenting: "[Their] grandma & brothers are trash!! Their whole family let the girls in that family down."

Diddy's ex gave her testimony and said the Bad Boy Records founder subjected her to a series of physical and emotional abuse.

During the May 12 trial session, prosecutors played a 2016 hotel surveillance footage where Diddy can be seen violently hitting and kicking her along the alley.

People Magazine reported that his daughters remained in court this time but didn't watch the video; instead, they looked straight on, while his sons watched.

In her testimony on May 13, Cassie said that the particular incident occurred after she tried to leave a "freak off," which she describes as a sexual encounter between her and a male escort on Diddy's request.

"I chose to leave," she told jurors, per NBC News. "I got out and Sean followed me into the hallway, and grabbed me, shoved me to the ground, kicked me, and dragged me back to the room and took my stuff."

Cassie alleged that after Combs pushed her to the ground in the hallway, she stayed down because "she didn't want him to do any more damage than he had already done."

Diddy's trial is guaranteed to include names of other celebrities and associates, as his influence in the music industry is well defined.

In her testimony on Wednesday, prosecutors questioned Cassie about an incident involving Diddy's business rival Suge Knight, CEO of Death Row Records. According to the Daily Mail, she narrated how Diddy left her during a "freak off" in his L.A. home to confront Knight at the popular Mel's Drive-In diner.

"R-Rock came in and said Suge was down at a diner. Sean drove over there.... I cried, said don't do something stupid," Cassie said. "It was like I wasn't even there. They put on a bunch of black clothes, went in the safe, grabbed guns."

"Next thing I knew, they were in the SUV just whipping down there. I saw them get dressed and leave the house," she noted.

Cassie may be stripped of her support system as Diddy's lawyers moved a motion to ban her husband, Alex Fine, from court while she testifies because they may want to call him up as a witness later in the trial.

Fine, who was originally Diddy's personal trainer, married Cassie about a year after she was last seen with the "I'm Coming Home" rapper. The couple already has two kids and is currently expecting their third, as Cassie is heavily pregnant while giving her testimony.

According to the Daily Mail, the defense said Fine has relevant information about an alleged rape of Cassie by Diddy in 2018, adding that Fine sent Diddy a text message saying he "wanted to beat the f word out of him."

A judge ruled that Fine can stay for most of his wife's testimony, as prosecutors say he "will be removed from the courtroom before a certain issue comes up."
