Diddy’s legal drama continues to unfold as new footage reveals the hip-hop mogul’s September courtroom plea of “not guilty” to a series of serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. The clip, obtained by MediaTakeout, marks the first public glimpse of Diddy since his arrest earlier this year. Flanked by his attorney in a packed New York courtroom, Diddy responded to the judge’s question about the indictment by firmly entering his plea.
The footage emerged amid growing tension between Diddy’s defense team and prosecutors. His lawyers recently filed a motion accusing authorities of violating his right to a fair trial. The claim stems from an October raid on Diddy’s prison cell, where investigators allegedly photographed private legal notes. His legal team is seeking dismissal of the indictment or, at minimum, disqualification of the prosecutors involved in handling the sensitive materials.
Adding to the mounting pressure, one of Diddy’s accusers, Anna Kane—ex-wife of NHL player Evander Kane—has stepped forward, revealing her identity to continue pursuing her lawsuit. In a powerful statement issued on December 6, Anna shared her resolve to seek justice despite efforts to intimidate her.
“I had hoped to use a pseudonym in pursuing justice for what happened to me as a teenager,” she wrote. “Defendants’ demand that I use my name was an attempt to intimidate me, but I am not intimidated. I am prepared to proceed and hold accountable those who have harmed me.” In her lawsuit, Anna alleges she was sexually assaulted by Diddy and his associates in 2003 after being flown to New York while still a high school student.
