Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Family Support in Courtroom Has ‘Dwindled,’ Reporter Says
From the outset of his legal challenges, hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been bolstered by the steadfast support of his family. In the face of serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, his children and mother have remained vocal and united. In a joint statement, his kids expressed their devastation over the situation, condemning the “false narratives” circulating on social media and reaffirming their unwavering support for their father. However, a reporter notes that his family’s public support of him in the courtroom appears to be “dwindling.”
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ family members don’t appear in court as often as they did at the beginning of the trial
After four weeks of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial, the world wants to know what could happen next. Many celebrities publicly backed Diddy more recently, noting that they believe he should walk free. And several of his family members have been visibly present throughout his legal proceedings.
Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, has been a steady figure at court appearances, standing by her son’s side with a calm but resolute presence. Among his children, Christian “King” Combs, 27, Justin Combs, 31, and Quincy Brown, 34, have attended hearings, often walking into court with their father or seated in the gallery alongside legal representatives. Diddy’s twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, 18, and his eldest daughter, Chance, 19, all showed up to the trial early on to show their support.
According to Law&Crime reporter Elizabeth Millner, Diddy’s family does not appear as much now as they did when the trial started. “There were times, especially at the beginning of the trial, where all of his children, with the exception of baby Love, were inside that courtroom,” Millner recounted on June 5, 2025. “Then that kind of dwindled a little bit. We haven’t seen his daughter since week one.”
“As far as his son goes, that’s kind of dwindled here and there, too,” Millner continued. “For example, last week we saw Quincy, Justin, and Christian Combs all inside that courtroom. But, as far as today goes, it’s a different kind of lineup.” Millner noted that Justin arrived with Janice on June 5.
Aubrey O’Day thinks Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs ‘selfishly’ wants his kids at the trial
Aubrey O’Day, former member of Danity Kane and former artist under Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy Records, publicly criticized Diddy for bringing his children to his ongoing sex trafficking trial. In a podcast interview with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, O’Day described the decision as “selfish,” expressing concern over the explicit and disturbing testimonies the children were exposed to in court. She particularly highlighted the inappropriateness of his 18-year-old twin daughters hearing graphic descriptions of alleged sexual acts involving their father.
“The fact that the kids are marching up to that court,” O’Day said on the Amy & T.J. podcast. “I don’t know any father that would want their children to sit through [that kind of] testimony. … In my opinion, it feels like, ‘Daddy needs you in court because Daddy needs all the optics to look in his favor.'”
The hip-hop mogul’s good friend, Charlucci Finney, arrived in the courtroom every day
According to Law&Crime reporter Elizabeth Millner, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ friend, Charlucci Finney, has shown up to support Diddy every day of the trial so far.
“One of his biggest supporters, Charlucci, who’s also a producer, but one of Diddy’s very close friends from childhood, he’s been inside that courtroom every single day of trial,” Millner said on June 5, 2025. “And he’s also one who had often attended the pre-trial hearings.”
Finney vocally and visibly supported Diddy during the ongoing federal trial. Frequently seen outside the courthouse, Finney passionately defended his friend against the serious allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. He publicly criticized the prosecution’s case, labeling it as a “public lynching” and asserting that Diddy deserves a fair opportunity to present his side in court.
