In Sean "Diddy" Combs trial, ex-girlfriend "Jane" testifies she felt pressured into doing "hotel nights"
An ex-girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs testified Thursday for the sixth day in his sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial.
The woman is testifying under the pseudonym "Jane."
On cross-examination, the defense showed the jury loving photos and videos the public could not see.
Some voice notes were played.
"Hey baby, we had a great time. Stay in the light. It's all good get your rest. You are the crack pipe. That's my new name for you, crack pipe," Combs said in one message.
Jane testified she told Combs many times she didn't like doing "hotel nights" with him, which involved drugs and, at times, multiple male entertainers. The defense showed messages about her setting up these nights, seemingly excited.
Jane testified she felt pressured, and that it was what he partner expected.
Defense argues to disclose names involved in January 2024 event
Testimony started about two hours late Thursday, with attorneys in the robing room with the judge for some time. When they returned, defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued he wanted to be able to disclose the names of people who were at a January 2024 event, in case the public has information they want to come forward with.
Jane previously told the jury about traveling on another rapper's private plane to Las Vegas in January 2024 with a friend while she was on a break with Combs. She said she ran into Anton, a male entertainer she and Combs had hired, and watched him have sex with another woman in a hotel room with the group.
The government said enough information has been revealed for the public, and the suggestion they need to say those names was an effort to intimidate the witness.
The judge said the event is not one of the alleged acts of sex trafficking, and kept his ruling in place about not identifying the people.
During cross-examination, the defense brought up that Vegas trip and asked if the rapper was an "icon in the music industry" and very close to Combs. Jane said yes.
Months later, Combs found out about the trip and allegedly said, "How could you go to another man's freak off?"
Wednesday, prosecutors told the judge they would likely rest their case on June 18 or 20.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that carry a potential penalty of 15 years to life in prison. He has been jailed without bail.
