A federal judge has warned a lawyer for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs to tame his public comments now that the rapper's sex trafficking trial is underway, saying it was “outrageous” that he referred to prosecutors as a “six-pack of white women.”

A transcript of a robing room meeting on Tuesday contained the conversation between Judge Arun Subramanian and attorney Mark Geragos.

Later in the day, the judge asked in the robing room meeting if Geragos — whose high-profile clients have included Michael Jackson and the Menendez brothers — was advising Combs “in any way, shape or form?”

Geragos responded that he represents the entertainer’s mother in a matter and has represented Combs and “I do talk with him with great – with great frequency.” The lawyer’s daughter, Teny Geragos, is a key member of Combs’ legal team.

Then, the judge noted that Geragos had said on a recent “2 Angry Men” podcast he hosts with TMZ founder Mark Levin that the prosecution team was made up of six white women and he had referred to them as a “six-pack of white women.”

    To me, this whole thing has nothing to do with Diddy so much as it is about a judge who is uncomfortable with the fact that there are valid criticisms to be had surrounding race and the courts.

    Here’s the thing tho, that lawyer isn’t even part of the defense team. He’s simply a spectator in the courtroom who happens to be a lawyer and that’s what the judge is holding him accountable for, ie: he should know the rules and keep his mouth shut.
