Diddy On Trial

It’s the end of Diddy on Trial, but the start of something new. Fame Under Fire is coming.

The trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is over. He has been cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering with conspiracy, and found guilty of transportation for prostitution. He is due to be sentenced at a later date. But discussions go on about power dynamics and working practices in the music industry, as well as about coercion, control and consent.

And CNN anchor and former prosecutor Laura Coates tells Anoushka what she heard from one of the alternate jurors on the Diddy trial about the evidence that might have undermined the prosecution’s case.
