On the 19th day of the Diddy federal trial, “Jane’s” testimony continues to play a central role in painting a disturbing picture of the relationship between the witness and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Her emotional testimony detailed a pattern of manipulation, coercion, and emotional dependence, heavily influenced by Combs’ financial support and control over her life. The court session featured a retelling of escalating incidents from 2023, culminating in Jane’s personal unraveling upon learning about Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.
Coercion and the Power Dynamic
“Jane” began by describing her growing discomfort around Combs’ habit of filming explicit encounters on his cellphones, devices that, according to her, were accessible to his team. Despite voicing concern, she testified that Combs dismissed her request to ensure those videos were protected. Her accounts introduced a consistent theme: Combs leveraging control. financial or emotional, to blur the lines of consent.
During this period, Combs had vowed to spend a “hotel night” with Jane before taking her on a yacht vacation, “Jane” said. When she discovered on social media that Combs had taken the vacation with another woman, she felt betrayed. An argument broke out at a hotel where he had allegedly informed the woman he had not had sex with her, then contradicted himself later while guesting on a podcast. “Jane” described how this manipulation rendered her more emotionally susceptible.
Growing Resistance
As “Jane’s” testimony continues, the court reviewed a series of text messages exchanged between her and Combs, revealing growing resistance and emotional exhaustion. In one, she wrote about not wanting to be “used and locked in a room” or fly to New York just to “be a hoe for the millionth time.” These messages came at a time when Combs was reportedly paying her rent, a financial tie that “Jane” said made her feel obligated to perform sex acts.
She explained that this arrangement created guilt and confusion, particularly when Combs would make emotional gestures, only to later demand sex with strangers. “Jane” became more vocal about these incidents in October 2023, referencing an encounter involving a “cowboy in heels” and another where she said Combs gave her ecstasy before introducing two men and his associate Cabrel at the Trump Hotel.
According to “Jane”, Combs paid the male sex worker in cash, and she was left emotionally shattered afterward.
“Jane’s” Breaking Point
“Jane” testified that by mid-October 2023, her tolerance had eroded. When Combs messaged her, she interpreted it as a prelude to another forced sexual encounter. She told him directly that she was not a porn star. This refusal sparked another confrontation, with Combs allegedly insisting she contact men to organize another “hotel night” even while he spent time with a different woman.
Jane’s frustration was compounded by what she saw as unequal treatment, feeling like she had to earn love and respect while others received it freely. She testified to telling Combs that she wanted to make him happy, but facilitating group sex left her conflicted and emotionally depleted. At this point, she told him she needed a break.
Shortly after, “Jane” described one of the most traumatic events yet: an encounter at the L’Ermitage Beverly Hills Hotel where she was allegedly made to have sex with three men. She became physically ill and had to step away, only for Combs to tell her to return to the group. The witness referred to the evening as “absolutely terrible.”
Cassie Lawsuit and Emotional Collapse
The court then turned to the emotional aftermath of the civil lawsuit filed by Cassie Ventura in November 2023. “Jane” testified that she fainted after reading it, overwhelmed by how closely it mirrored her own experiences. In a text message shown to the court, she told Combs that reading it felt like reliving her own trauma.
Around this time, prosecutors presented a series of messages between “Jane” and Combs from December 2023, in which she expressed distress, told him she was crying, and said she no longer wanted to participate in “those nights.” She urged him to use sex workers instead of exploiting the feelings of women who genuinely cared for him. Later that month, she messaged him again, saying he was never satisfied, to which Combs responded by saying he didn’t want to fight and asked how to move forward.
A series of texts introduced in court also showed “Jane” trying to distance herself from Combs emotionally, saying he was gaslighting her and didn’t understand her need for separation. She testified that this behavior made her feel manipulated and emotionally unsafe. At the end of 2023, she admitted to having suicidal thoughts, messaging Combs that she wanted to die and felt broken and used. When the prosecution asked why she wrote these things, she cried so intensely that her words were hard to understand.
She also testified that in late December 2023, Combs threatened to release sex tapes of her to her child’s father. She said he repeatedly called and pressured her, saying he had nothing to lose by sharing footage from the “hotel nights.” She contacted Combs’ employee Kristina Khorram for help, writing that she was traumatized and wanted distance, but feared Combs thought she would try to blackmail him. She warned that the tapes included instances where she was heavily drugged. According to her, Khorram responded calmly, reassuring her that nothing bad would happen.
In early 2024, “Jane” joined OnlyFans, a platform often used by sex workers to monetize explicit content, which she said was an attempt to reclaim her independence and stop relying on Combs.
She also admitted that in February 2024, after supposedly ending contact with Combs, she had sex with another man in his presence while in Miami. The government, anticipating defense attacks on her credibility, had her recount this incident first to preemptively explain her decision. A domestic abuse expert earlier testified that victims often return to toxic dynamics due to emotional or financial entrapment.
“Jane” said she was still living in a property paid for by Combs in March 2024 when Homeland Security agents conducted raids on several of his homes. She told the court she alerted Combs’ head of security when federal agents arrived. She also shared that Combs had paid for two lawyers who represented her.
She revealed that a male sex worker named Cabral asked for $10,000 to keep a sex tape between them private. According to Jane, Combs had recorded it using Cabral’s phone, giving the man easy access. She said a media company later purchased the footage, though it has not been made public.
“Jane” also said Combs invited her to a meeting in 2023 to discuss how to handle the backlash from the release of the 2016 hotel surveillance video by CNN that showed him attacking Cassie Ventura. She claimed he initially denied the video, then eventually released an apology online. Combs later told her it was the only time he had hit Ventura and suggested that Ventura was also physically aggressive toward him. When asked if Combs said he had hit Ventura, Jane said she believed he had, but wasn’t sure of the details.
A recorded phone conversation between “Jane “and Combs, taken from the phone of his chief of staff, was played in court. In the call, Combs asked how he could make things right, telling her that his love was sincere. But Jane expressed confusion and distress, telling him she felt sick and manipulated. When she tried to tell him how she’d been warning him only a week earlier, Combs allegedly cut her off and ended the call.
The emotional toll of the revelations was apparent. “Jane” sobbed as she explained that Ventura’s lawsuit reflected her own suffering “word-for-word.” She told the court that the recordings Combs kept of their sexual encounters portrayed her in a drugged state, acting out a repeated pattern she believed he wanted.
“Jane” testified that Combs always claimed these acts were consensual, but she admitted she was still trying to understand whether she ever truly consented.
A Pattern of Control and Emotional Trauma
As “Jane’s” testimony continues, the pattern that emerges is one of alleged emotional manipulation tied to financial control. From promises broken to sexually exploitative situations, “Jane’s” account is one of confusion, guilt, and coercion. The influence of Combs’ wealth loomed large, particularly in how it was used to pressure her into unwanted acts.
By anchoring her experience in Ventura’s civil lawsuit, “Jane’s” testimony took on broader implications, suggesting a repeatable pattern of alleged behavior by Combs that extended beyond her individual experience. Whether or not jurors ultimately find her testimony credible, the detailed chronology she has provided continues to define the tone and trajectory of the trial. The inclusion of text messages, threats involving sex tapes, emotional deterioration, and the revelation that she joined OnlyFans to regain autonomy all further illustrate her claims of manipulation, coercion, and control. As Jane’s testimony continues, the courtroom remains gripped by a disturbing story of power, sex, and control.
