Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs\u2019 attorneys played a cringey, lengthy video montage \u2014 showing him giving inspirational speeches and playing with his kids \u2014 in an apparent bid to garner sympathy for the admitted abuser at his sentencing Friday.<\/p>\n

The 11-minute highlight reel \u2013 which featured footage of Combs feeding hospital patients, limping through marathons, singing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d and sharing heartfelt hugs with his family \u2013 unfolded as the mogul\u2019s defense attorneys pressed for a lenient sentence in Manhattan federal court.<\/p>\n

Combs, who is facing several years in prison on prostitution-related charges, appeared to stifle tears before crying uncontrollably in the courtroom as the video showed footage of his ex Kim Porter, who died in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve lost our mother, we\u2019ve lost time with our father and every day he remains incarcerated we lose more and more.
