A bunch of New Yorkers are straight-up celebrating not having to sit through Diddy’s sex trafficking trial — and they’re making sure TMZ knows it.
Four dismissed jurors were thrilled to be off the hook — telling us Monday outside the NYC courthouse it was a huge stress relief and they’re just glad they don’t have to miss work or lose a paycheck over it.

Catch the clip — the first guy made it clear he was happy that it was outta his hands, especially since he knows how high-stakes it all is, having already seen the Cassie hotel beating video.
Another dismissed juror broke down why her job pretty much guaranteed she wasn’t getting picked — and Juror 80 had everyone cracking up, saying she’s ready to live it up this summer, no courtroom pressure in sight.

It was a nail-biter for a few days, but the jury consisting of 12 members and 6 alternates was finalized Monday. Soon after, Diddy’s sex trafficking trial officially kicked off Monday with fiery opening statements from both sides.
He’s facing 5 federal charges — 2 for sex trafficking, 2 for transporting people for prostitution, and 1 for racketeering conspiracy. Diddy’s pled not guilty, and his defense is already framing the “freak offs” as totally consensual.
