From freak-offs to the mysterious list, the shocking case that has gripped the world is finally here. And we'll be bringing you every detail as it happens. Welcome to The Trial of Diddy. So jury selection in Diddy's sex trafficking trial became this week, but we've seen a lot of delay.

It was supposed to end today on Friday, but the judge sided with Diddy's defense team saying that he preferred to finalize that process on Monday. There was some concerns that more jurors were going to back out. Apparently, in the break that the court took on Thursday already, they lost some jurors.

There was some concerns that more jurors were going to back out. Apparently, in the break that the court took on Thursday already, they lost some jurors.

So the judge appeared to be leaning towards finalizing this process on Monday as a way to not lose more jurors, which I thought was interesting. The state really opposed that measure. So it was a win for Diddy in the end.

He's sending us updates in real time as the trial progresses. So far, we know that 43 jurors need to be whittled down to 12 jurors and six alternates by Monday. As I said, this process was supposed to end today, but instead it's going to happen on Monday right before opening statements. The judge claims that this is not going to delay opening statements on Monday.

So let's get right down to it. I think this jury pool was quite interesting. I don't know if it's just a New York City thing, but it was quite fascinating that we had one juror who was an executive at Simon & Schuster and was actually working on a book with I'll Be Sure. Of course, that juror was let go. We also had...

Two workers from HBO, even though, as we know, there was a huge bombshell documentary about Diddy on HBO. How normal was this jury pool? It really I was expecting this process to not be as interesting as it was.

The judge seemed a little desperate to get jurors because in some cases, if the potential jurors have heard about the case, they are immediately dismissed. But in this case, most jurors knew who Diddy was and even said they have seen reports and the video of him assaulting Cassie. So a lot of the jurors who said they are aware of the case, they have seen the video, are still in the pool.

Definitely. And I wanted to ask Renato about it because I was under the impression that defendants had to really keep to themselves, not smile to the jury, not be laughing at their jokes, not making eye contact. But Diddy has been described by the people in the courtroom as super engaged, nodding along to the jurors that he likes, laughing at their jokes.

There was a moment where Diddy shared a joke with his lawyers after a female juror said that she once fainted in school when a teacher talked about oral sex. She was dismissed because she said she doesn't do well oral. with the topic. Diddy was having a great time with it. He turned around, kept laughing with one of his reporters who was wearing a free puff sweatshirt.

We had an interesting moment where a reporter from Fox 5 said that Diddy turned around and she's pregnant and that he mouthed to her, how are you? So he's putting on the charm. Tell us about that. At what point is that not allowed anymore?

I think that's part of his plan.
