The jury in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering trial reached a verdict on all counts Wednesday.
The jury found him not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He was found guilty on both counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Once the verdict was announced, opinions from every corner of the country—including athletes—were posted on social media.
Former NFL wide receiver Dez Bryant surely had some fiery statements about the verdict, most notably, Cassie.
Cassie Ventura paved the way for a Manhattan jury to find Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty of prostitution charges Wednesday. Ventura was among two of the music mogul’s former girlfriends who testified during the two-month trial that he physically and sexually abused them.
On X, Dez Bryant made it clear that Cassie was not a victim in this case.

Sean’ Diddy’ Combs won and lost at the same time.
Jurors in the federal criminal trial against him found the hip-hop mogul guilty of two of the five counts filed against him, acquitting him of the other three.
The 12-member panel acquitted Combs of racketeering and sex trafficking but found him guilty of prostitution-related offenses.
COUNT 1 – RICO: NOT GUILTY
COUNT 2 – SEX TRAFFICKING, CASSIE VENTURA: NOT GUILTY
COUNT 3 – MANN ACT TRANSPORTATION, CASSIE VENTURA: GUILTY
COUNT 4 – SEX TRAFFICKING, JANE: NOT GUILTY
COUNT 5 – MANN ACT TRANSPORTATION, JANE: GUILTY
Diddy could receive a prison sentence of up to 20 years — the maximum is 10 years for each of the transportation counts.
If he had been convicted of any of the other counts, the 55-year-old could have faced up to life in prison.
