Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer, Teny Geragos, has been taking to TV and TikTok to claim his innocence after he was arrested and charged with sex trafficking on September 16

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer Teny Geragos has gone on TV and TikTok to claim that her client is innocent, after the rapper was arrested and charged with sex trafficking on September 16, in New York City.

In a new interview on News Nation show Cuomo, Geragos told the host: “He’s fighting. He’s innocent, and he’s going to be able to show it.”

Geragos, who is the daughter of celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos, continued to defend the music producer: “I hope he gets out. He has done everything somebody under investigation can do. I can’t think of anything else that he could have done. There were no surprises here, Chris. We knew that he was under investigation for racketeering and sex trafficking, and he stayed put. He committed not to fly out of the country. He stayed within the country, and they didn’t ask that of him. That was a commitment he made.”

She added, “But those activities and the lifestyle is not criminal. What was notable today, what my partner Mark said in court, is they never once said that these women didn’t consent to what happened, not once.” Combs, 54, was denied bail again on Wednesday, after his lawyers argued that he should be released from the “horrific” jail conditions as he awaits his trail, writes the BBC.

Geragos also took to TikTok to share clips of her defending the hip-hop mogul using visual aids. “All right, here we go again, Diddy sued by a former bandmate; I’m his lawyer and here’s why you should care,” she said in one video, as reported by The New York Times.

Here’s what we know about her:
