Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs choked intern, put UCLA staffer in headlock during brawl, document alleges

In this courtroom sketch, Sean Combs, center, is flanked by his defense attorney Marc Agnifilo, left, and Teny Garagos, in Manhattan Federal Court on Sept. 17 in New York. Sean “Diddy” Combs was so upset about the way his son was being disciplined by a UCLA football coach in 2015 that he went to the coach’s office and fought with him, briefly choked an intern and put another member of the coaching staff in a headlock, according to a document newly obtained by The Times from Los Angeles County prosecutors. A charge evaluation worksheet from the L.A. County district attorney’s office includes new details about what allegedly unfolded that June afternoon nearly 10 years ago inside the weight training facility at UCLA. The new details about the confrontation come as Combs faces a barrage of lawsuits and criminal charges that allege he led a years-long criminal enterprise that preyed on victims, plied them with drugs and forced them to participate in sex performances called “freak-offs.” After the incident, UCLA strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi, who had been the focus of Combs’ dissatisfaction, walked away from the argument with scratches and a ripped shirt, the worksheet says. “I understand the interest now, but clearly, this did not rise to the level of criminal prosecution.” University and law enforcement sources told The Times in 2015 that the confrontation happened after Alosi, dissatisfied with Justin Combs’ effort during a voluntary summer workout, told the junior defensive back to get off the field — not just for the rest of the day, but for the rest of the summer.
