'I'm gonna vomit': Celebs react to Sean 'Diddy' Combs verdict
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who pleaded not guilty to all the charges, was acquitted of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges and convicted for prostitution charges. Photo: TNS Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day and Dawn Richard reacted Wednesday to the verdict in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering case, as the music mogul was only found guilty for the lesser two counts of the five felonies with which he was charged. Combs, who pleaded not guilty to all the charges, was acquitted of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges and convicted for prostitution charges. After the verdict was announced, O'Day, one of Combs' former artistes of music group Danity Kane, took to Instagram to share that she's so devastated she wanted to 'vomit.' 'Oh my God, not guilty on Cassie, not guilty on Rico, no way that Jane is gonna be guilty,' she said on her Instagram stories while filming news coverage of the verdict. 'This makes me physically ill. Cassie probably feels so horrible. Ugh, I'm gonna vomit.' Ahead to the trial, O'Day consistently voiced her support for the victims including Combs' ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura. 'The bravery is unmeasurable right now, especially eight months, eight and a half months pregnant, and it's triggering,' O'Day said on an episode of the Amy & T.J . podcast. The 41-year-old artiste was reportedly subpoenaed to testify in the trial, but ultimately did not take the stand. However, her bandmate Dawn Richard, who did testify against her former boss in court, called his partial acquittal a 'disappointment.' 'Today's split verdict is a disappointment, but the criminal charges are different than the civil claims we filed and have been fighting against Sean Combs,' she said in a statement via her attorney Lisa Bloom. Back in September of 2024, the former Danity Kane member sued Combs for sexual assault and battery. Bloom added that the musician promises to 'continue to aggressively fight our case until we obtain full and complete justice.' In May, Richard testified that she witnessed Diddy hit Cassie with a hot skillet. 'He came over to the skillet with the eggs in it and tried to hit her over the head, and she fell to the ground,' Richard said on the stand. In 2005, Diddy formed Danity Kane on MTV's 'Making the Band' before the group broke up for good in 2014. Celebs such as actress Rosie O'Donnell and rapper 50 Cent also chimed in. 'I guess a jury just never wants to believe that a woman stays because of power and coercion, wow,' wrote O'Donnell on Instagram. 'This decision got me angry.' 'Diddy beat the Feds that boy a bad man!' 50 Cent wrote on Instagram. 50 Cent has been a vocal critic of Combs, whom he has long beefed with — going back to his Diddy diss track The Bomb , released in 2006. He is expected to release a docuseries on Netflix about the allegations against Combs. Meanwhile, Boosie BadAzz said in an Instagram video captioned 'GREAT DAY N HIP HOP' that the courts had spoken. 'I'm tired of seeing us Black moguls get took down like that,' the rapper said. He added that he was 'tired of seeing us Black people go against us Black moguls like that.' – Agencies
