Diddy’s trial started on Monday, May 12th, and we’re breaking down what’s happened in the first two days of the trial, including his charges, opening statements, Cassie taking the stand and more.

What do you think of Diddy’s trial so far? Let us know in the comments.

Tetris Kelly:

All right, guys, so this is not a fun one, but the Diddy trial kicked off, and I’m, for one, in shock that they decided that the defense’s argument was gonna be, yeah, there was domestic violence, but not sex trafficking. Like what? 

Judy Sanchez:

It’s a lot to take in. Like, racketeering is a very serious charge, but so is domestic violence. So to sort of brush that under the rug, and especially with Cassie knowing that she’s taking the stand pregnant, I don’t know, the optics are very intense. You know, it was, it was a lot of intense, graphic news coming from the Diddy trial this morning. 

Tetris Kelly:

I mean, it’s so interesting that you phrase it that way, because I think sex trafficking, racketeering, it’s like, and there’s been all this evidence that’s been in the media, what would your argument be to defend Diddy at this point?

Stefanie Tanaka:

Yeah. I mean, I’m not sure there’s much. He’s gonna try to save his a–, I’m sure. But, you know, I don’t know how you can, I mean, your crimes are bad enough. I don’t know if there’s much. I mean, the lawyers are gonna do their jobs because they’re lawyers, but I don’t know, like, if there’s any way he could really get out of it. I mean, they’re pretty serious. All the allegations we’ve heard, the video evidence with Cassie in the hotel.

Sandra Oh, Brenda Song, Jon M. Chu, Laufey and more shared life lessons with those pursuing their dreams during a camera-lens signing on the Gold Gala red carpet.

Daniel Dae Kim:

A lesson I’d like to give the next generation. 

Tayme Thapthimthong:

I guess I’m an example of someone who you know I came from, from England to Thailand, and I’ve always wanted to be in Hollywood as an actor. And it finally happened. You’ve just got to keep doing it, you know, and enjoy the process. That’s the important thing.

Alexa Rabago:

The lesson that I hope they can take away is to really believe in something that you’re passionate for, whether it goes against the grain, or it’s something that’s not usual, or it’s taboo, maybe, and if you’re really passionate about it, to just go for it.

Hayley Kiyoko:

I’ve been trying to get this film Girls Like Girls made for 10 years, and it’s now getting made, and I’m directing it as a woman of color. It’s so exciting to get to share this night with everyone and just never give up on your dreams. As simple as that.

Eric Nam:

Anything is possible and you can just do it. You should just do it, and there’s nothing stopping other than yourself.

Jon M. Chu

Make your sh– great. Make it so great they can’t ignore it. And you’re gonna have to survive some things in order to make great things. So be as creative to figure out how to survive as you are making the thing. So don’t put that aside saying ‘That’s not my job.’ Make it all your job, because it’s your responsibility to get it made.
