Michael B. Jordan was one of several noticeable names on a list of more than 100 people and places presented to potential jurors at the start of jury selection for Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ trial on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. (He has pleaded not guilty to all.)
While the Creed star isn’t implicated in Combs’ case and, according to multiple outlets, is not on the witness list, he has since come up during testimony.
Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified under cross-examination May 15 that Combs suspected she was seeing somebody else in the entertainment industry while she was shooting a movie in South Africa in 2016. When asked who the person was, Ventura named the actor.
On the stand May 19, former Ventura friend Kerry Morgan testified that Combs didn’t like that Ventura had spent time with Jordan.
“What I remember was that she was speaking to Michael B. Jordan and they hung out together,” Morgan told the court. “And he was jealous of it.”
Jordan’s rep did not return a request for comment.
