“You made me look like a koala bear”‘ – Diddy told sketch artist who drew him during s£x trafficking trial

Disgraced music mogul, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had some words for the sketch artist who drew him during his months-long s£x trafficking trial.

The 55-year-old music mogul was depicted in court sketches visibly panicking when jurors reached a verdict on four of the five charges against him.

Diddy was later seen collapsing in his chair when jurors declared that he was not guilty of racketeering conspiracy – the top charge against him and s£x trafficking. He was, however, found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in pr0stitution.

The images, some of which were commissioned by Jane Rosenberg – provided rare glimpses into the rapper’s mood during the high-profile proceedings.

But Combs was not always satisfied with the way Rosenberg was portraying him, even criticizing her work during a break in proceedings last month.

She recounted to PEOPLE how the I’ll Be Missing You singer returned to the Manhattan federal courtroom and mouthed something at her.

At first, Rosenberg said she could not make out what Combs was trying to tell her. But when he repeated himself, she could hear that he wanted her to make him look ‘softer’ as he pointed to his mouth.

‘And he said, “You made me look like a koala bear,”‘ the artist said.

She apparently took the criticism in stride, noting that later that same day, she found herself in the elevator with Combs’ mother, Janice Combs, along with his sons.

‘In the elevator, they were saying “Thank you for being such an unbiased artist,”‘ Rosenberg said. ‘And I told them, “Today, Diddy said I made him look like a koala bear.” And they all started chuckling.’

In her remarks to PEOPLE, Rosenberg admitted it took her some time to figure out how to properly draw the hip hop artist.

‘He was not a simple likeness to do,’ she said, adding that she had to learn how to draw his jaw. 

‘He’s got an unusual look. And he doesn’t look anything like he used to.’

Drawing celebrities at their high-profile criminal trials is a difficult task in general, Rosenberg said, as they are widely known and people have a perception of how they are supposed to look.

At times, even the celebrity has comments, like Diddy did.

‘[Rudy] Giuliani told me I made him look like a dog, [Harvey] Weinstein told me to give him more hair, John Gotti asked me to trim down his chin,’ said Rosenberg, who has been working as a professional sketch artist for 45 years and wrote a memoir entitled. ‘Drawn Testimony: My Four Decades as a Courtroom Sketch Artist.’

‘And [President Donald] Trump once stood over one of my sketches and said, “I need to lose some weight,”‘ she recounted.
