Hollywood’s about to dim its lights as Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ trial looms just a couple of months away, set for May 5, 2025. Tinseltown insiders are buzzing about a mass A-list exodus, with stars like Jennifer Lopez, Jay-Z, Usher, and Justin Bieber-frequent guests at Diddy’s legendary parties-reportedly planning to jet off to sunnier escapes when the gavel drops
RadarOnline.com spilled the tea, revealing that big names tied to Combs, even casually, are bracing for impact. “The homes of the rich and famous with any kind of links to Combs, no matter how innocent, will be empty come May,” a showbiz insider dished. “No one will wish to be around when the hearing kicks off and Combs starts throwing names around.”

The fear? Their reputations could take a hit if Diddy’s defense drags them into the muck. Picture these stars burying their heads in the sand-maybe on a beach halfway across the globe-while the courtroom drama unfolds.
Combs, locked up at MDC Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest, faces explosive charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s pleaded not guilty, but the stakes are sky-high-life in prison if convicted on racketeering, plus a minimum 15-year stretch for trafficking.
Sex trafficking charges spark Hollywood panic
Adding fuel to the fire, he’s suing NBCUniversal and Ample for $100 million over their documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. His lawsuit claims it defames him with wild accusations-think serial murder and sex trafficking of minors-calling him “a monster” with “a lot of similarities to Jeffrey Epstein.”
This isn’t just a trial; it’s a Hollywood saga. With dozens of lawsuits alleging abuse and exploitation piling up, Combs’ legal team calls them cash grabs, but the heat’s on. “It maliciously and baselessly jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Combs is an embodiment of Lucifer,” his complaint fires back at the doc.
Set at NYC’s Daniel Patrick Moynihan courthouse, this public showdown-kicking off with three weeks of prosecution evidence-promises to be one of the wildest celebrity trials in years. For fans tracking Diddy trial updates or Hollywood scandals, buckle up; Tinseltown’s glitter is about to get gritty.
