Diddy trial live updates: Bryana Bongolan, who Combs allegedly dangled over 17th-story balcony, expected to testify on day 16

Today, we’re expected to go through witnesses fairly quickly. Radio personality Enrique Santos is expected to be very brief at the stand, and just serves the purpose of setting up testimony for “Jane,” Combs’s ex-girlfriend and alleged victim.

If the other witnesses take longer than expected to deliver testimony, there is a chance he is skipped altogether.

Like with the prosecution’s second alleged Victim, “Mia,” the government wants the courtroom video feed switched off while “Jane” is on the stand.

The request was made over fears the feed would display exhibits that include the real name of the alleged victim, who is testifying under a pseudonym, and that of her son. Because of the sheer volume of documents, prosecutors say they did not have time to redact those names.

Closed-circuit video of Jane’s testimony will likely be shown in the overflow room for the public and the press room, according to the Washington Post.

Jane could take the stand as soon as Wednesday afternoon, or possibly Thursday. Her testimony could last up to five days, prosecutors said.

As Sean “Diddy” Combs’s federal criminal trial fast approaches its halfway point, here’s a reminder of who the 12 jurors are, set to decide the music mogul’s fate.

Eight men and four women comprise the dozen New Yorkers selected to sit for the trial, which is expected to last eight weeks.

They range in age between 30 to 74 and live across Manhattan, the Bronx and neighboring Westchester County. The jurors hail from a broad variety of professions which include an investment analyst, a massage therapist and a physician assistant.

Several of the younger jurors said they listen to hip-hop and R&B music, genres aligned with Combs. Some of the jurors have said they were familiar with the 2016 surveillance footage of Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel.

Forensic video expert Frank Piazza is expected to be the first witness on day 16 of testimony in Sean Combs’s sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial.

His testimony is expected to focus on the 2016 surveillance footage of Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel.

Fashion designer Bryana “Bana” Bongolan, who says that Sean “Diddy” Combs dangled her over a 17th-story balcony is set to take the witness stand on Wednesday.

Bongolan filed a lawsuit against Combs in December alleging that the media mogul assaulted her and dangled her over a 17th-story balcony at the Los Angeles apartment of his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Combs denies the allegations.

A supporter of Sean “Diddy” Combs was dragged out of a New York courtroom by cops Tuesday after making a profanity-laden outburst.

A woman in the court’s gallery yelled, “Diddy, these motherf***** ​laughing at you” and “it’s not right what they’re doing to him!” according to reports by CNN and NBC News.

The judge overseeing the case, U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian, told court officers to “escort her out right now!” Combs turned around after Subramanian ordered her removal.

Rachel Dobkin and Kelly Rissman have the story fromNew York:

Eddy Garcia, a security guard at the Los Angeles hotel where Sean “Diddy” Combs was captured in security footage in March 2016 attacking his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, testified Tuesday.

Garcia testified that his boss sold footage of the attack to Combs for $50,000. Garcia said his boss then tasked him with delivering the footage to Combs. After confirming it was the only copy of the video, Garcia said Combs handed him $100,000 in a paper bag and asked him to sign an NDA with a $1 million penalty.

Derek Ferguson, an ex-executive at Combs Enterprises and Bad Boy Entertainment, also took the stand. Ferguson served as the chief financial officer for Bad Boy Entertainment and worked for Combs from 1996 to 2017.

As he testified, prosecutors showed the jury Combs’s December 2011 bank statements, which corroborated previous testimony from Cassie’s mother who, earlier in the trial, claimed the music mogul demanded $20,000 from Cassie or else he’d release explicit footage of her.
