Diddy Strikes Back: Marc Agnifilo Wraps Up Diddy's Closing Statement (Part 2) (6/27/25)
After lunch, Marc Agnifilo sharpened his focus on reframing the core allegations as nothing more than the product of consensual, if unconventional, relationships. He argued that what the government described as trafficking was in fact a mutual lifestyle choice embraced by Combs and his partners, particularly Cassie Ventura and “Jane.” He portrayed the so-called “freak-offs” not as coercive events, but as expressions of intimacy, repeating that “this is how they're close.” He told jurors that Cassie willingly participated, highlighting video stills of her appearing relaxed and smiling in a hotel suite. His argument hinged on the notion that proximity, emotional connection, and shared sexual experiences were being weaponized into crimes by prosecutors bent on sensationalism.
Agnifilo then turned to dismantling the narrative around the more violent or incendiary allegations. He admitted Combs had a temper and was at times abusive but insisted that this did not constitute racketeering or sex trafficking. He called the accusation that Combs burned Kid Cudi’s car “nonsense,” dismissing it as an exaggerated lover’s spat. He also attacked the claim that Combs attempted to bribe his employees to delete security footage, arguing that his behavior reflected paranoia, not criminal intent. Addressing the testimony of “Mia,” he downplayed her account by pointing to photos of her smiling alongside Combs and others, insinuating that her story lacked the gravity and consistency of a real trafficking survivor. His overarching theme was that the prosecution had cherry-picked moments of dysfunction and exaggerated them into a federal case.
He left the jury with one final statement:
"America is great because between each citizen and the government there is a jury. This is your house. I am asking you to summon that courage to to do the right thing and acquit Sean Combs on all counts. He is not a racketeer. He is innocent. Let him go home to his family."
