Misa Hylton Seemingly Reacts to Diddy’s Federal Trial Result

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton has seemingly responded to the verdict in his federal trial.

On Wednesday, a 12-person jury convicted Diddy of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while he was acquitted of the arguably more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking. Diddy could face as much as 20 years behind bars for the two transportation convictions.

Hylton, 51, seemingly offered her reaction to the verdict via her Instagram Story, where she shared a quote from author Cory Allen: “Underrated life style: Knowing when to let your silence say everything.”

Diddy and Hylton, a fashion designer, were together in the early 1990s and share son Justin Combs, 31, who was one of the disgraced mogul’s family members celebrating outside a Manhattan federal court following the announcement of Wednesday’s verdict. (Diddy has seven children, in total. He shared son Christian, 27, and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, 18, with late partner Kim Porter, and he also adopted her son Quincy Brown, 34. He shares daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman and welcomed his youngest child, daughter Love, 2, with Dana Tran in December 2022.)

As the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs kicked off in New York City, observers were surprised to hear the names of numerous other celebrities mentioned during jury selection and various witness testimonies. When potential jurors were questioned starting May 5, they were asked about their familiarity with stars like Kanye West and former Danity Kane […]

Hylton previously offered support for Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) after she filed a lawsuit against the musician in November 2023, accusing him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship, which lasted off and on from 2007 to 2018. Diddy denied Cassie’s claims. One day after the suit was filed, Diddy and Cassie, 38, settled out of court. In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram.

At the time, Hylton wrote via Instagram that she was “heartbroken” to see Cassie having to “relive the horror of her abuse” following the release of the surveillance footage.

“My heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma,” Hylton wrote in May 2024. “[Diddy’s children] were raised by women that want the best for them — we put God and education first and have always been united in our mutual effort to support their dreams. Two of the youngest do not have their mother here and it has been our duty to support them.”

She concluded by writing, “Their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it.

Hylton eventually attended Diddy’s trial in New York City multiple times, where she was initially photographed using a walker due to a leg injury. Following some public backlash, Hylton insisted that she was simply supporting her son Justin at Diddy’s court session.

“God is good all the time! Yes, I’m good everyone I’m on my healing journey,” she wrote in May. “When I suffered my injury I had chosen to heal privately but when my son said ‘Mommy I need you’ I was right there for him, walker and all. I’m a MOTHER FIRST, FOR REAL and I am my son’s strength and thats just what it is. Plain and Simple.”

She continued, “Whoever doesn’t understand that just simply isn’t in alignment with me or anything that I’m about in life. I’m cool with that. I have a purpose filled life that I live daily. I make impact. I’m not concerned with insecure people attempting to project their insecurities on to me. EVER.”

Hylton encouraged anyone angry with her decision not to “let [Instagram] rule your life.”

Cassie Breaks Silence After Diddy Found Not Guilty of Sex Trafficking

Cassie has broken her silence through her legal team after Sean “Diddy” Combs was found not guilty of sex trafficking. Cassie’s attorney Douglas H. Wigdor released a statement on Wednesday, July 2, after the verdict was read, telling Us Weekly, “This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file […]

Eyewitnesses told Us Weekly following Wednesday’s court proceedings that Diddy reached out to greet his family after the verdict was read, but he was prevented from interacting with them. The rapper was said to be in “ecstatic” spirits as he raised his hands in prayer.

Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo has already asked Judge Arun Subramanian to release the hip-hop mogul Wednesday as part of a $1 million bond package that includes travel restrictions to Florida, New York and California, Diddy surrendering his passport and undergoing court-monitored drug testing. Agnifilo promised that Diddy would return home to Miami and follow every court guideline if bail is imposed.

“He treasures, I assure you, the opportunity that he has been given, and he will not run afoul of anything this court imposes on him,” Agnifilo promised the judge.

Both Cassie’s attorney Douglas Wigdor and prosecutors opposed Diddy being released on bail prior to his sentencing.

“Ms. Ventura believes that Mr. Combs is likely to pose a danger to the victims who testified in this case, including herself, as well as to the community,” Wigdor wrote in a letter to the judge.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s defense team argued that he should be let out on bail because he “obeyed the Court, respected these proceedings and demonstrated model behavior” during his imprisonment at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center following his arrest in September 2024. (Four previous requests were denied by Subramanian.)

“The jury unambiguously rejected the government’s allegations that Mr. Combs ran a years-long criminal enterprise or engaged in sex trafficking — the core of the government’s case,” Diddy’s lawyers argued. “Mr. Combs stands convicted of two Mann Act counts, and his sentencing exposure is substantially lower than when the government initially sought detention.”

Diddy was originally arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all of the allegations against him.

A federal trial started on May 5 and was largely based around testimony from Cassie and an unnamed Jane Doe accuser. Following two days of deliberation, the jury informed Judge Subramanian on Tuesday, July 1, that they’d reached a verdict on four out of the five counts but were deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy charge.

The judge instructed the jury to continue deliberating before they ultimately returned a verdict on Wednesday morning. Judge Subramanian thanked the 12 members of the jury prior to dismissing them from the courtroom.

“I want you to know that it is inspiring to all of us,” Judge Subramanian told the jury. “You listened, you worked together, you were here every day, rain or shine. You did so with no reward, other than the reward that comes from answering the call of public service. That should give all of us hope.”
