Sean “Diddy” Combs’ high-profile trial is now in its fourth week. Meanwhile, in Hilton's website article linked to his X post, the commentator elaborated on his “circus” comment by highlighting a particularly disruptive moment during the ongoing trial, which involved a woman being forcibly removed from the courtroom on Tuesday, June 3.

"Day 15 of the disgraced rapper’s New York trial proved to be eventful for multiple reasons… Beyond the testimonies on Tuesday, a woman was thrown out of the session for SCREAMING — apparently in support of Diddy?" Hilton wrote in his article.

According to a report by Variety dated June 3, 2025, the incident in question occurred when an unidentified woman entered the courtroom and began shouting a string of profanities before screaming emotionally. This outburst led Judge Arun Subramanian, who is presiding over the trial, to order her removal.

As per the Variety report and Hilton's article, she yelled:

"Diddy, these motherf***ers laughing at you!… You’re laughing at a Black man’s legacy!"

In his article, Hilton also cited The New York Post, noting that the "jarring moment" happened while the jury was not present in the room. He further mentioned that it reportedly took multiple marshals to escort the woman out.

Reflecting on the disruption, Hilton added that it was "unclear what triggered the outburst." Meanwhile, the commentator further speculated that she could have been "a huge Diddy fan" and that might be "the whole reason she was there."

As per Variety, the woman who disrupted Day 15 of Sean "Diddy" Combs’ federal trial by screaming in the courtroom was a self-proclaimed supporter of the embattled rapper.

The report further detailed that Judge Arun Subramanian, who is overseeing the trial, swiftly ordered the woman to leave the courtroom after she began shouting profanities and taunting court marshals. In a tense moment that escalated quickly, the woman challenged the security directly, yelling:

"Pull your gun out ninja, I dare you."

Her aggressive outburst caused the public and the press to back away, and multiple marshals were required to escort her off the premises forcibly. While it remains unclear what triggered her behavior, courthouse observers noted that she had become visibly agitated when a marshal asked her to remove her hat.

As per the report, the woman continued her combative behavior once escorted outside. Journalists who followed her for comments were met with hostility—she cursed at several reporters and dismissed their questions with angry gestures.

Additionally, the Variety report revealed that the woman had been familiar with the courthouse since the trial began. Typically stationed in the overflow room, she had been seen watching the proceedings via a live feed, as well as voicing her support for Combs outside the building.

CNN entertainment correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister, who was present when the incident occurred, offered further insight into the moment. In a June 3 interview with Access Hollywood, she detailed how the disruption unfolded.

"Before the jury even entered, there was a major disruption in the courtroom. A woman who entered through the public line was basically yelling profanities... and the judge had her escorted out. Now, when she did this, Diddy turned around as she was taken out," Wagmeister said.

She also confirmed that this wasn’t the first time that this self-proclaimed Sean Combs supporter had “caused a disturbance” in and around the courtroom. However, as per the CNN correspondent, this incident was indeed the first time the woman had been “kicked out in front of the judge.”

The Variety report further stated that disruptions related to the trial were not limited to the courtroom; clashes between influencers, supporters, and other public members were common. However, this marked the first time a disturbance had directly impacted the primary courtroom, just rows away from where Combs sat.

At present, Diddy is facing several charges, including multiple counts of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial began on May 5, 2025, and will probably last six to eight weeks. Meanwhile, if convicted, the rapper could face life imprisonment.
