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.
