Judge Greg Mathis has given his thoughts on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing sex trafficking trial.
TMZ pulled up on the TV judge and asked him about Kanye West’s recent attendance at the trial.
The rapper was denied entry into the packed courtroom, so he watched for a few minutes on an overflow courtroom monitor before leaving.
“I think it creates drama. More drama than we’ve seen already. So that’s my assessment. I’m not sure whether that was intentional or to create drama, or whether he’s there to comfort or support a friend, which I think is fine,” he explained.
Mathis also weighed in on Diddy’s family support.
“You should be there for your friend to comfort him. Even though he has done wrong. He’s done some heinous crimes, assaults against these women. But if I were a family member, I would be there to comfort him, not defend him, not stick up for, what he’s done. I would condemn him in private and support him in public,” he added.
Diddy’s trial is expected to wrap up early next month. He denies all charges against him.
