Diddy's Dream Team: How Teny Geragos Thwarted a Lifetime in Prison
The TikTok Lawyer Who Saved Diddy: Teny Geragos' Jaw-Dropping Victory
In a shocking turn of events, 34-year-old millennial attorney Teny Geragos has made headlines as one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' lead lawyers in his highly publicized sex trafficking and racketeering trial. And let's just say she's the real MVP (Most Valuable Powerhouse) after convincing a jury to find her client not guilty on the most serious charges!
Teny, who has quickly become known as the "it" girl of the legal world, was part of Diddy's A-list defense team alongside veteran lawyer Marc Agnifilo. And let's be real, she's got some serious family credentials – her dad, Mark Geragos, is a high-profile attorney who's represented everyone from Susan McDougal to Chris Brown.
But Teny is making waves all on her own. The 34-year-old's unorthodox methods of defending Diddy's innocence have made headlines on TikTok and primetime TV. She published a series of short clips in September, speaking out about the legitimacy of civil lawsuits filed against Combs by people who allegedly were not legitimate victims.
Geragos' impassioned opening statement during Diddy's trial was nothing short of electrifying. She slammed prosecutors for overcharging her client, arguing that they were trying to turn consensual sex between adults into a prostitution and sex trafficking case. "Sean Combs is a complicated man," she told the jury. "But this is not a complicated case. This case is about love, jealousy, infidelity, and money."
The crowd went wild as Teny delivered her bombshell statement, but what really got our attention was the fact that Diddy held her hand as he was found guilty on the lesser charge of transportation to engage in prostitution – a verdict that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years behind bars.
But don't worry, folks, this is where things get juicy. Sources close to Teny tell us that she's been working non-stop since law school, and her impressive résumé speaks for itself. From serving as a judicial extern for a Supreme Court Justice in Kings County, New York, to interning at the Brooklyn Defender Services and a US district court in Los Angeles – this girl has got skills!
And if you thought she was just a pretty face (which, let's be real, is still a major plus), think again. Teny Geragos has been a law clerk for both the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and her dad's firm, Geragos & Geragos, APC. After graduation, she joined New York City-based firm Brafman & Associates PC as a trial attorney, where she worked for nearly eight years before becoming a founding partner at Agnifilo Intrater LLP.
But what really has us going wild is Teny's personal life. The law grad and her college sweetheart Ashwinn Krishnaswamy tied the knot in 2021 in a luxurious summer ceremony inspired by the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris (talk about a fairy tale romance!). And it gets even better – they met while applying for visas to study abroad in the Czech Republic, developed a strong friendship during college, and only started dating eight years after meeting.
The power couple often shares adorable snapshots of their life on social media, from skiing and snowboarding out west to hosting a cooking show together on Instagram. And let's just say they're living the high life – Teny currently resides in Manhattan in a luxury condominium complex in the NoMad neighborhood, with a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit listed for $13,000 per month (yes, you read that right).
But here's what really sets Teny apart from her peers: she's got style and substance. From her sharp suits to her sassy TikTok clips, this woman is the epitome of a modern-day superhero – fighting for justice and looking fabulous while doing it.
So, there you have it – Teny Geragos, the TikTok lawyer who saved Diddy from the clutches of sex trafficking charges. We can't wait to see what's next for this rising star of the legal world!
