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.”

    There may very well be an issue of racism. That’s for comb’s actual defense team to bring to the judges attention.

    Further, there absolutely is a better way to express that concern. It was an absolutely sexist comment and highly inappropriate. as a lawyer Geragos should know better.

    Especially as he is loosely connected to the defense team and could potentially taint the jury pool.
