Cassie's Lawyer, 50 Cent & More React To Diddy's Trial Verdict

Sean "Diddy" Combs has learned his fate in his criminal case, and reactions to his verdict have been pouring in.

On Wednesday morning, July 2, the disgraced mogul was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution involving his ex-girlfriends, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura and "Jane." Despite his guilty verdicts, Combs was also acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering. After the verdicts were read, Cassie's attorneys released a statement, in which they boasted about the model-singer's "exemplary courage throughout this trial."

"This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023," attorney Doug Wigdor said.

"Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution," he continued. "By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice... This case proved that change is long overdue, and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors."

In addition, celebrities who have been following the trial took to social media to share their thoughts. Audrey O'Day, who covered the trial with journalists Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, said she felt nauseous as the jury read the verdict in court.

Oh my god. Not guilty on Cassie, not guilty on RICO," she said in a video she posted to her Instagram Story. "No way 'Jane' is going to be guilty. Oh, this makes me physically ill. Cassie probably feels so horrible. I'm gonna vomit."

50 Cent, another harsh critic of Diddy's, also reacted to the news on his Instagram account. The filmmaker, who's in the process of making a documentary about the mogul's trial, wrote, "Diddy beat the Feds that boy a bad man ! 👏👏👏 beat the Rico, he the Gay John Gotti."

Combs is still in custody as of this report, but his attorneys are actively working on trying to get him released ahead of his sentencing. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison per count.
