Sean “Diddy” Combs pleaded not guilty Friday to new allegations that he forced employees to work long hours with little sleep and wielded threats to get them to comply with his demands.
Sean “Diddy” Combs pleaded not guilty Friday to new allegations that he forced employees to work long hours with little sleep and wielded threats to get them to comply with his demands.
The new allegations were detailed in a superseding indictment unveiled March 6.
Combs, who appeared in a downtown Manhattan courtroom with newly gray hair and a gray beard, hugged his lawyers at the start of the hearing. He sat and listened as attorneys on both sides of the case discussed various procedural matters with Judge Arun Subramanian.
The embattled hip-hop mogul already faces a trial on the federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution — all part of an alleged sex trafficking scheme that prosecutors say spanned decades.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case and vehemently denied allegations of sexual assault and other misconduct detailed in dozens of civil lawsuits filed by women and men.
