Diddy trial live: Sean Combs accused of getting Wendy Williams FIRED for ‘outing him as gay’

To hear all the explosive testimony from singer Cassie Ventura and the other witnesses in Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ trial, tune in to Daily Mail’s hit podcast The Trial.

From sworn testimony to video evidence and the rapper’s every subtle move, our team of journalists take you inside the courtroom of the world’s biggest celebrity case.

Daily Mail has been following Diddy’s downfall from the very beginning. Join us as we hear from experts involved in the case, and members of the rapper’s inside circle.

Former talk show host and radio star Wendy Williams claimed in the past that she was fires from Hot 97 in 1998 after she shared her belief that Diddy was gay.

Williams had supposedly said she had a photo of Diddy being intimate with a man.

The mogul’s former security guard Gene Deal seemed to confirm the claim in 2022.

‘[Diddy] got one of the hottest DJs off Hot 97 because she wanted to put up a picture of him getting his pants pulled down,’ Deal said, according to Vibe.

Wendy went on to become a supersyar talkshot host, but famously continued sharing claims about Diddy.

Rapper and actor Kid Cudi is expected to testify at the Diddy trial this week, taking the witness stand to tell the jury about his brief relationship 14 years ago with the mogul’s ex-girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie.

Prosecutors say Combs was so upset about the relationship that he arranged to have Cudi’s convertible firebombed, according to court filings.

Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, won’t be called to the stand before Thursday, prosecutors informed the judge on Wednesday.

George Kaplan is expected to continue his testimony on Thursday.

He invoked the fifth amendment on Wednesday in court, asking for immunity before testifying in Diddy’s sex trafficking trial.

The former employee told the court Diddy often threatened his job and became enraged over minor issues.

One time, the mogul allegedly became angry and got in Kaplan’s face because he had bought him the wrong kind of bottled water.

First week on the job and he asked me to go to Whole Foods to get a BPA free gallon water bottle. They didn’t have it and I didn’t want to be late.

I got two half-gallon bottles and that was insufficient. He told me I did not bring him what he asked for. He was angry. He was very close to my face.

Kaplan said he was in charge of setting up Diddy’s hotel rooms in LA, New York and Miami.

He said ‘a hotel bag that had seemingly what was needed for hotel stays.’

The bag contained clothes, a speaker, candles, liquor, baby oil and astroglide.

When Diddy was done with the hotel rooms, Kaplan said it was his job to clean them up.

Kaplan said there would be ‘Lots of empty bottles, gatorade bottles, liquor bottles, often baby oil, on the table, on the floor, around the bed.’
