At the time, Diddy and Jennifer Lopez They were a couple. The event, which left three people injured, including Natania Reubenwho was shot in the face, has returned to the fore. “I am willing to get a part of the 9 mm bullet from my face so they can use it as proof if necessary for this trial,” declared Reuben to Newsnation.

The investigation after the shooting led to the arrest of both, being a stolen weapon in the vehicle in which they were traveling. While Diddy was judged for illegal possession of weapons and bribery, the possibility of Jennifer Lopez Be called to testify as a witness now hits her. The Prosecutor’s Office argues that this incident is part of a pattern of violent and criminal conduct by Diddy.

Not only do they try to exclude the incident of the New York Club, but also a video released by CNN in May 2024 that shows Diddy hitting his ex -girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. They argue that the video is edited and that the chain of custody is doubtful. In addition, they seek to block the testimony of a third alleged victim, called “victim 3”, claiming that his story could bias the jury.

Meanwhile, a federal judge will decide this Friday what evidence will be admitted.

The case not only puts Diddy’s career in check, but also rescues a turbulent past and puts under the magnifying glass the relationship that once united two great figures from the entertainment world. The proximity of the trial keeps everyone in suspense, waiting for the outcome of this complex and media legal battle.
