Diddy trial recap: Sean Combs’s ex-girlfriend ‘Jane’ testifies she felt ‘obligated’ to have sex with other men
Jane told the jury she felt ‘obligated’ to participate in Sean Combs’s ‘hotel nights’ as she testified in his sex trafficking trial
A former girlfriend and alleged sex-trafficking victim of Sean “Diddy” Combs testified Friday in the music mogul’s sex trafficking trial.
“Jane,” who is testifying under a pseudonym, dated Combs from 2021 to 2024. Jane testified that Combs would ask her to have sex with other men at his direction, echoing Cassie Ventura’s previous description of “freak offs.” Jane explained that she felt “obligated” to participate in these “hotel nights” because she “loved him very deeply.”
One of these “hotel nights” lasted more than three days, she testified. Jane used drugs during these encounters because she “didn’t want to feel like it was too real,” she testified. Jane said she suffered health problems, including recurring UTIs and yeast infections, because of the frequent sex marathons.
Judge Arun Subramanian threatened to bar Combs from the courtroom yesterday after he “vigorously nodded” at jurors during testimony, with a defense attorney stating that it would not happen again.
Combs is facing sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy charges. Combs was arrested in September 2024 as federal authorities alleged he threatened, abused, and coerced victims “to fulfill his sexual desires” between 2004 and 2024. Combs has denied any accusations of wrongdoing.
Recap: Jane testifies about details of her relationship with Diddy
Week four of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s trial ended with a full day of testimony from “Jane,” a woman he dated from 2021 to 2024 who is testifying under a pseudonym.
Jane testified that she frequently participated in “hotel nights,” which involved her having sex with other men while Combs watched. This echoes previous testimony from Cassie Ventura, another one of Combs’s ex-girlfriends. Ventura said she would often have “freak offs” with Combs, which involved her having sex with other men at his direction.
Jane testified she felt “obligated” to participate in these “hotel nights.” The interactions caused her to develop health problems, including frequent UTIs and yeast infections, she testified.
Prosecutors spent much of the day having Jane read old texts between her and Combs. In one message from 2023, months after he started paying her rent, Combs told Jane he’s “about to really disappear on you and “you’ll have a rude awakening, you’ll just have silence.”
Jane said she was “pretty alarmed by that message,” noting she realized he could cut her off if he wanted to.
Jane revealed she signed a “love contract” with Combs in 2023. As a result, she gets a $10,000 monthly allowance. Combs is currently paying her rent, she added.
Jane was soft spoken and often emotional throughout her testimony. At one point, she even interrupted herself to say “bless you” after a defense attorney sneezed
The prosecution will continue their direct questioning of Jane on Monday morning.
Court adjourned
Judge Arun Subramanian has sent the jury home for the weekend.
Court will resume on Monday morning with continued testimony from Jane.
