Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs appeared ‘astonishingly thinner’ and ‘grayer’ at new court hearing: eyewitness
Sean “Diddy” Combs has allegedly shed a significant amount of weight during his time in the Metropolitan Detention Center, as stated by a reporter who was present at a hearing in his federal sex trafficking trial on Wednesday.
“After the hearing, Law & Crime reporter Elizabeth Millner remarked that he looked remarkably thinner, which is understandable given that he has been in a federal detention center for several months.”
“Flipping from the opulent lifestyle he previously enjoyed, he looked significantly thinner, suggesting that his time in detention might be taking a toll on him.”
She observed that Combs’ look was markedly different from his appearance in a video that emerged online of him playing hacky sack in Central Park just days prior to his arrest on Sept. 16.
Millner also observed a shift in the disgraced rapper’s hair color, remarking, “He seemed a bit grayer.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs was said to have looked “remarkably slimmer” during his court hearing on Wednesday, according to a reporter.

Cameras were prohibited from entering the courtroom on Wednesday, which means Page Six cannot confirm that report.
We also contacted the troubled musician’s attorneys for a statement but did not receive an immediate response.
Nonetheless, a source familiar with Combs informs Page Six exclusively that the “Bad Boy for Life” artist is “healthy, fit, and completely focused on his defense.”
“He has been quite engaged, stays positive, and, as usual, he was pleased to see his kids,” the insider mentions. It’s also mentioned that he has been exercising consistently.
Combs has spent three months in federal detention and has had bail denied on three occasions.
He faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution after a lengthy federal investigation, with a trial scheduled for May 5, 2025.
Millner mentioned that Combs seemed different compared to his appearance in a video filmed at Central Park just prior to his arrest in September (as shown above).

The 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder was first put on suicide watch during his initial week in custody but was removed from it shortly afterward, as his lawyer asserted that his client was “focused and very strong.”
Nonetheless, lawyer Marc Agnifilo had previously acknowledged that food is the “toughest aspect” of Combs’ incarceration.
The “Coming Home” rapper’s usual prison meal is said to include cereal, fruit or pastries for breakfast, hamburgers, fish or beef tacos for lunch, and chicken fajitas, pasta or roast beef for dinner.
For Thanksgiving, Combs relished a traditional holiday meal, featuring turkey roast, mashed potatoes with gravy, assorted vegetables, cranberry sauce, and dinner rolls.
TMZ reports that his Christmas feast will feature a unique lunch menu comprising baked Cornish hen, macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and a festive dessert.
A previous inmate at MDC in Brooklyn, NY, mentioned in October that Combs’ fame won’t grant him special treatment or advantages.
“His riches and assets won’t provide him any advantages,” Timothy Smith informed Daily Mail Australia then.
“People believe there are TVs and radios, but where he is, there’s nothing, not even a radio.” You receive one Bible and a single book each week. That’s everything.
A lawyer representing Edwin Cordero, an inmate who was fatally injured during a brawl at MDC, characterized the institution as “a federal jail that is overcrowded, understaffed, and neglected, resembling hell on Earth.”
Millner additionally mentioned on Wednesday that Combs seemed to be in a better mood when he observed his sons Christian Combs and Justin Combs arrive in the courtroom. Allegedly, his other five children were not there.
She observed that the “Last Night” rapper “grinned,” “radiated joy,” and gestured to his two sons.
In addition to his federal case, Diddy, who has entered a not guilty plea and refuted all allegations, is also contending with multiple civil lawsuits regarding sexual assault accusations.
