Diddy
Wearing Emotions On My Sleeve

Diddy‘s camp doesn’t have a dry eye in the courtroom as his sentencing hearing plays out … and even he needed a box of tissues after mostly keeping a poker face on throughout his criminal case.
The Bad Boy Records founder grabbed a tissue and dabbed his eye Friday as his defense played a nearly 12-minute-long video that presented him as a great father and pillar of the community.
The video followed tearful pleas from his six adult children who begged for their father to come home … and when it was his daughters’ turn to speak, Diddy broke down.

We’ve got eyes and ears in the courtroom … ya gotta listen to our own Jacob Wasserman set the scene in lower Manhattan.
It sounds like Diddy’s defense is trying to lay it on thick … and they’re leaning into an emotional element as they try to convince the judge to hand down a lighter sentence.
The hearing is starting up again after a lunch break and Diddy’s back in court … and it will be interesting to see if the judge was moved by Diddy’s family and the dramatic, documentary-style video.
