Diddy’s mom Janice Combs made a bold entrance at her son’s s*x-trafficking trial on Thursday.
The former model and teacher’s assistant, 84, who recently defended Diddy against over 100 sexual misconduct allegations, opted for a daring yet perhaps overly casual ensemble for such a significant occasion at the lower Manhattan courthouse.
She rocked a form-fitting white mini dress, black fishnet stockings, and a tiger-print fur jacket, while holding onto a supporter’s arm.
Despite being heckled by critics — one man shouted, ‘Janice, your son is a predator and deserves to be locked up’ — the matriarch remained composed and unfazed by the commotion.
The embattled rapper’s daughters, 17-year-old twins Jessie James and D’Lila Star, arrived shortly before the hearing, accompanied by their older brothers Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, and Christian, 26.

Since his indictment on s*x trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution charges, Diddy has been held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after two failed bail requests.
At the hearing, he appeared stoic in a tan prison uniform, staring straight ahead.
He briefly waved to his family before hugging his legal team.
The judge set his trial date for next May, with prosecutors hinting at additional charges to come.
On Sunday, Janice issued a statement in her son’s defense amid his s*x trafficking indictment and more than 100 sexual misconduct allegations against him.
‘I come to you today as a mother that is devastated and profoundly saddened by the allegations made against my son, Sean Combs,’ she told Dailymail.com in a statement through her lawyer Natlie G. Figgers.
‘It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies.
‘To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words.’
