Rosie O'Donnell lashes out at jury after Diddy trial verdict, calls decision a "joke"

Rosie O'Donnell has voiced her disapproval following the verdict in Sean Combs' federal trial.

On July 2, a jury found Sean 'Diddy' Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on three counts related to racketeering and sex trafficking.

Combs, who remains in custody after being denied bail, awaits sentencing set for October 3, 2025. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

Soon after the verdict was announced, O'Donnell took to Instagram to express her outrage.

Sharing a photo of a televised report, she wrote: "i guess a jury just never wants to believe that a woman stays because of power and coercion—wow—they just think women stay because what? money—fame—'they love the abuse'—what a f--king joke—this decision got me angry #cassie."

Her post sparked a flood of reactions. Actress Rosanna Arquette commented, "Broken-hearted for the brave survivors on top of more broken hearts." One follower echoed the sentiment: "I just don’t understand!! What more proof did they need!"

The verdict has sparked widespread debate online, with many public figures and fans alike raising questions about justice, victim credibility, and systemic bias in high-profile cases.
