During a closed-door meeting on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian sternly reprimanded attorney Mark Geragos for comments made on his podcast, "2 Angry Men," regarding the prosecution team in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial. Geragos, who represents Combs' mother and has been observed consulting with the defense team, referred to the all-female group of federal prosecutors as "a six-pack of white women." Judge Subramanian condemned the remark as "outrageous" and emphasized that such language would not be tolerated in any courtroom. He further warned Geragos that he would be monitoring future episodes of the podcast to ensure compliance with court decorum and to prevent any potential influence on the jury pool .


Geragos attempted to justify his comments by suggesting that Combs feels targeted due to his race, stating that his observation was rooted in the client's perspective. However, the judge dismissed this rationale, reiterating the importance of maintaining professionalism and impartiality in legal proceedings. Prosecutors expressed concern over Geragos' public commentary, highlighting the podcast's substantial audience and the risk of prejudicing the jury. They also noted that Geragos discussed key evidence, including a surveillance video allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and criticized the prosecution's strategy. In response, the judge underscored the necessity for all legal representatives to refrain from extrajudicial statements that could compromise the fairness of the trial
