Welcome to The Trial of Diddy. Hi, we're here on some breaking news. We have reporter Daniel Bates in front of New York federal courts, and he was covering Diddy's appearance today. Hi, Dan.

Yeah, no worries.

What was revealed about Diddy's court appearance?

Kayla Brantley 1:36
Can you tell us exactly what happened this morning? Why was he in court today?
Daniel Bates 1:41
So Didi was in court for a pretrial hearing, which takes place just over a month before the trial is due to start. And it was to deal with a number of matters that kind of, you know, crop up before these kind of, you know, trials take place, housekeeping, documents and so forth. But the big news was Didi's appearance. In previous hearings, he's had dark colored hair and, you know, it looked very much like he dyed his hair. But this time, it was a shock of white hair with some gray bits. He was noticeably heavier. And yeah, he seems to have just given up on dying his hair. So Diddy's rocking a new look.

How has Diddy's appearance changed?

Daniel Bates 2:16
And I'm not sure if he's going to stick with this for the trial, but he looked significantly older, significantly heavier set. So dramatic change in his appearance, you know, with just weeks to go until the trial.
Kayla Brantley 2:28
What did his demeanor look like outside of his appearance?
Daniel Bates 2:30
Did he look stressed or did he look... Well, in court, Diddy's a performer. I mean, I've seen him in court a few times now. You know, he comes into court and he smiles at everyone. You know, it's like a light goes on and he's a completely different person. You know, he was waving at one of his sons and daughters who were in the public gallery. And at the end of the hearing, his mum came in a bit late and he saw her. He blew her a kiss. He sort of put his hand on his heart and she blew a kiss back to him.

What was Diddy's demeanor in court?

Marjorie Hernandez 2:56
But...
Daniel Bates 2:56
You know, he's hugging his lawyers. He's saying hi to people. You know, it's like he's in the club. You know, he's just he's everybody's friend, you know, and it's like, I mean, you know, you could argue that this is a bit of PR on his behalf, but there's no jury there yet. So, I mean, he's he puts on a show every time. And today was no different.
Kayla Brantley 3:14
You talk about the jury, and from my understanding, they actually talked about Vardere, and there's some discussion, obviously, about as a trial day comes forward. Can you talk about exactly what they discussed in terms of jurors and questioning jurors?
Daniel Bates 3:33
Yeah, I think there's going to be about two weeks of jury selection. And then the question of whether the jury is going to be sequestered came up. I wasn't quite clear as to whether or not, you know, that was actually going to happen. But it looks like we're going to have quite a lengthy jury selection process. I mean, you know, two weeks for a federal case is quite long. But with a high profile case like this, you know, it sometimes can take that long. I mean, you can expect Diddy to hire jury consultants, you know, to ask extensive questions about You know, feelings towards him, whether or not they know anyone related to him, different locations. You know, it's going to be a long, lengthy process.
