A tense and cold atmosphere filled the room as members of the jury were shown clips of Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged drug-fueled orgies known as "freak-offs."
The videos reportedly drew mixed reactions from the jury as one woman appeared to frown disturbingly at it, while a younger male giggled at the sight of the intimate encounter.
Meanwhile, a juror in the ongoing trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs has been removed after giving inconsistent answers about where he lives.
Diddy's 'Freak-Off' Videos Draw Mixed Reactions From Jurors

Day 24 of Diddy's sex trafficking trial came with a twist as prosecutors played portions of his alleged "freak off" videos for members of the jury to see.
The event unfolded as a federal prosecutor questioned a Department of Justice special agent on the witness stand. The prosecutor asked the agent to verify a list of hotels in which Diddy conducted the sexual encounter with his ex-girlfriend Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura and male prostitutes.
The special agent then went through the list describing the hotels while tallying up the specific freak-off videos that belonged to each location.
Then the prosecutor compiled three videos, each approximately 11 to 12 minutes long, for the jurors' viewing, and also provided them with headphones to listen to the audio.
According to TMZ, when the video seemingly got to the 30-second mark, the atmosphere in the courtroom became so silent that everyone present could hear sexual noises coming from the jurors' headphones.
The clip elicited mixed reactions from the jurors as an older woman looked visibly disturbed and shook her head at what she was watching, while a male juror stared continuously at the screen, holding his chin with his hand. However, at one point, a younger juror giggled early on while viewing the explicit tapes.
A Black Juror Was Dismissed From The Case

According to the BBC, a juror in Diddy's trial was removed after giving inconsistent answers about where he lives.
The presiding judge over the case, Judge Arun Subramanian, has notably maintained a no-nonsense approach to the proceedings since it began early last month, often bashing the prosecution and defense team if he found them out of line.
The juror in question indicated during jury selection that he lived in the Bronx area of New York, but more recently, told court staff that he had moved in with his girlfriend in New Jersey.
Subramanian said he had found "several inconsistencies" with the jurors' answers in court transcripts, which he said could suggest a desire to "be deceptive" in an effort to get on the jury.
Diddy's lawyers opposed the decision, saying that the "Finna Get Loose" rapper would be "substantially prejudiced by the dismissal" of a black male from the jury. The juror has been replaced by an alternate, a 57-year-old white father from Westchester.
Records Show Diddy's Company Transported Male Prostitutes

Earlier during the trial, a Special Agent returned to the stand to testify about the evidence collected in Diddy's investigation. Although the agent didn't work on the investigation, The Independent reports that they did review evidence for jurors yesterday.
According to the news outlet, Special Agent Deleassa Penland testified in court about flights and hotel records for Diddy, Cassie, and male sex workers that were paid for by Bad Boy Entertainment.
Penland testified that flight records from 2009 indicate Diddy's company paid for a round-trip flight from New York to Los Angeles for Jules Theodore, a male sex worker whom the rapper and Cassie often hired.
Hotel records also showed that Diddy's credit card was charged for the stay, while another record showed a stay for Clayton Howard, whom Diddy and Cassie referred to as "Dave."
Diddy Lied To Lure Cassie Back To The Hotel After The Beating Incident

Agent Penland also reviewed text exchanges between Diddy and Cassie to the jurors, showing a purported text where the "Bad Boy For Life" rapper incessantly texted Cassie after beating her at the InterContinental Hotel in 2016.
In text messages shown to the jurors, Diddy falsely claimed he was "about to be arrested," in an attempt to lure her back to the location.
In messages leading up to the event at the now-closed hotel, Diddy and Cassie texted to inquire about the availability of a male escort for "freak off."
Then, on the day of the event, jurors saw that Diddy texted her at least five times in a row, demanding she return.
"Call me, the cops are here," he said, claiming he was "about to be arrested."
The Rapper Could Face Life In Prison

In his federal case, Diddy is facing charges of one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
If found guilty of racketeering, he could face life in prison. A conviction for sex trafficking carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, while the transportation charges could bring an additional sentence of up to 10 years.
Despite the chances of spending the rest of his life behind bars, the Bad Boy Records founder rejected a plea deal that may have ensured he got a reduced sentence, as he fights to prove his innocence and clear his name in court.
