YouTuber Covering Diddy Trial Shows What Disgraced Rapper Really Looks Like In Court

A YouTuber and true crime podcaster showed what Sean “Diddy” Combs looks like after he allegedly mouthed an intimidating message to her during his trial.

Stephanie Soo has been attending the trial in New York and sharing updates with her 5 million subscribers.

Since cameras aren’t allowed in the courtroom, Soo used a photo editing app to show what the disgraced hip-hop mogul looks like.

“This is what we think he looks like now, this is what we saw,” said the content creator. “Mainly, it’s the hair, so it’s more white, and then the sides of his face are not as hairy, and then he just looks really pale.

“I don’t think that he lost that much weight, I feel like this is a good representation of the weight that I saw when I saw him in court.

“And then he’s wearing the white collared shirt with the navy crew neck, but it’s a little less V, it’s more circular. But that’s what we think he looks like.”

The description matches Combs’ appearance as depicted by sketch artists in court. One of them, Jane Rosenberg, claimed that Combs tried to control his image, telling her, “Soften me up a bit. You’re making me look like a koala bear,” referring to his grey hairs.

In a previous video, Soo claimed that Combs, who is facing federal charges including racketeering and s*x trafficking, gave her a “pretty lengthy stare” and mouthed “I know you.”

“I think Diddy might know us. I don’t know, maybe. So I’m just gonna explain,” the YouTube star began.

“Usually Sean Combs will do this thing where he does a sweep of the press pews when he first walks into the courtroom.”

“He’s like hugging his attorneys, he’ll look to the public side, which is on his right, and then we’re kind of diagonal from him, and he oftentimes, since more of his supporters are coming to the courtroom these days, he’ll shoot them little hand hearts. 

“He’ll put his hand to his chest, he’ll mouth, ‘Thank you.'”

She continued: “And then the press pews, we get a simple glance over and sometimes a nod. Now, clearly this stands out to both my researcher and I really strongly because on Thursday, we even write the time down at 8:50 am, jurors are not in the courtroom.

“Sean Combs sits down at his chair and he turns in his chair to the right. This is our eye direction, like we can see him now.”

“He starts staring in what felt like in our general direction or perhaps right behind us and it’s a pretty lengthy stare. And then he starts nodding while mouthing the words dramatically, ‘I know you.’

“He mouths it twice with what we perceive to be a smirk, then as he’s turning back around to face the front, he’s like ever so slightly shaking his head while he’s still smirking.”

The woman claimed that Combs mouthed the same three words to her on a different occasion, which she described as “odd” and “weird.”

“He knows us or he doesn’t know us…does it really matter? I don’t think so,” she said. “But I did almost pee myself. That’s all I’m trying to say.”

In one of her recent videos, shared on Monday (June 16), Soo detailed the testimony of Combs’ former personal assistant, who, using the pseudonym Mia, claimed that the rapper s*xually assaulted her and subjected her to other forms of violent behavior.

Mia testified that Combs was in his underwear during her first job interview for the role, which she held from 2009 to 2017.

“Since more of his supporters are coming to the courtroom these days, he’ll shoot them little hand hearts,” she described

“She states that she has to make sure everything was good for Combs from the moment that he wakes up until the moment he falls asleep, anticipating his needs, whims, and moods,” Soo described.

Combs allegedly “overworked” Mia and asked her to do a wide range of tasks, from “cracking his knuckles to writing his next movie to doing his taxes.”

The former assistant said Combs threw objects at her, slammed her against a wall, dumped an ice bucket on her head, slammed her arm in a door, and s*xually assaulted her on more than one occasion.

She added that Combs’ then-partner, Cassie Ventura, wasn’t around when the alleged assaults occurred, and she never told her about them.

One of these incidents allegedly took place at the Plaza Hotel for his 40th birthday.

“As she’s sharing this part of her testimony, Combs is in full businessman posture,” Soo said. “He’s leaned back, his right elbow is on the armrest, he’s got his thumb on his cheek and his index finger curved over his mouth.”

Mia also alleged that during a trip to Turks and Caicos, Ventura came screaming into her room, saying that the rapper was going to “k*ll her.”

According to Soo, Combs shook his head and let out an “animatedly large sigh” as Mia detailed how she and Cassie ran away down the beach to escape him.

Describing Ventura’s testimony, Soo said that the longest freak off—forced intimate encounters with strangers under Combs’ orders—lasted four days.

She said of Ventura, “Her voice was steady. She didn’t sound like she’s overly trying to get sympathy. She just sounded like, ‘I’m about to tell you guys genuinely how I felt, and that’s all I can do at this point.'”

Soo added that the singer didn’t sound like she was trying to “convince” the jury. Instead, her focus was on answering the questions “as honestly as possible.”

The YouTuber was allegedly warned about a group of Combs’ supporters “harassing” reporters outside the courthouse

The podcaster described a group of people outside the courthouse who support Combs, saying they have been “harassing” reporters, cursing at them, and spitting on them. On one occasion, she was allegedly warned about a man holding a pool ball inside a sock and threatening to harm people with it.

Combs, one of the most famous names in the hip-hop industry, is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He was arrested last September and charged with s*x trafficking and racketeering. He has been denied bail three times. The 55-year-old rapper faces life in prison if convicted.
