Ju y selectio is cu e tly u de way fo the t ial of Sea “Diddy” Combs.
The p ocess p omises to be a lo g a d complicated o e, as both sides will t y to fi d 12 people who somehow have ot yet fo med opi io s about Combs o his alleged c imes.
That’s o easy feat, a d atto eys a e usi g some u usual st ategies to t y a d weed out biased ju o s.
Acco di g to a ew epo t f om People magazi e, the vetti g p ocess i volves aski g pote tial ju o s if they ecog ize the ames of ce tai i dividuals who a e associated with Diddy.
Past a d p ese t Diddy associates a e amed du i g ju y selectio
I some cases, the associatio is obvious. O e of the celeb ities amed, fo example, is Cassie Ve tu a, the fo me gi lf ie d of Diddy’s who filed a lawsuit fo ape, sex t afficki g, a d physical abuse agai st the mogul i 2023.
Also o the list is Kid Cudi, who dated Cassie afte he b eakup with Diddy. I he lawsuit, Cassie accuses Diddy of blowi g up Cudi’s ca .
“She is p epa ed to testify u de he ow ame,” says a cou t fili g obtai ed by People i efe e ce to Cassie.
Obviously, it’s ot ha d to see why Cassie a d Cudi we e me tio ed o the fi st day of ju o selectio .
But the list also i cludes people like Mike Mye s, Ka ye West, Michael B. Jo da , Michelle Williams of Desti y’s Child, a d appe Yu g Miami.

About i ety mi utes i to the p oceedi gs, Diddy asked to take a u scheduled bath oom b eak. At fi st, the judge de ied his equest, but mome ts late , the disg aced mogul was allowed to use the est oom.
“I’m so y, you ho o , I’m a little e vous today,” Diddy explai ed to the judge.
