Sean Diddy Combs is acquitted of RICO and sex trafficking charges and now after a big win for the defense; his team is asking he walk free today. This is an emotional and shocking day for witnesses as jurors reach a verdict that find Diddy guilty of only the 2 lesser charges that he was facing.
Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of true crime and breaking news coverage of the biggest cases. Today we bring you the latest in the Sean Diddy Combs saga.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was vindicated on the most serious charges—racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking—but a Manhattan jury found him guilty today, July 2, 2025, on two lesser counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution under the Mann Act, exposing him to up to 20 years in prison. Immediately after the verdict, his defense attorneys requested his release on a $1 million bond and travel restrictions, arguing it’s inappropriate for him to remain jailed until sentencing; prosecutors opposed, citing concerns over potential danger to witnesses. A bond hearing is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET before Judge Arun Subramanian to decide if Combs will remain in custody or be released pending sentencing, with written filings from both sides due beforehand.
Meanwhile, as Diddy news was being reported, supporters have been outside the courthouse celebrating—some playfully drenched in baby oil—chanting “Free Puff!” as the legal drama transitions into the critical phase of bail determination. Diddy's family, including his mom, were seen outside the courthouse giving the crowd a thumbs up and blowing kisses.
