Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend provided testimony detailing a disturbing encounter at her California residence where she alleged Combs coerced her into a non-consensual sexual encounter with a male sex worker. This incident allegedly followed an altercation where Combs physically assaulted her, breaking down doors and inflicting injuries such as a black eye. As her testimony resumed on the third day, under the alias “Jane,” she described how a planned romantic evening on June 18, 2024, turned into a traumatic memory.
Jane’s account adds to a series of allegations against Combs that showcase a pattern of violence towards women that coincided with an ongoing federal investigation, resulting in his arrest last September. In light of these serious accusations, Combs maintains his innocence against charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, which carry potential life sentences.
Even though they parted ways post-arrest, Jane revealed that Combs still supports her financially by paying her rent. Her testimony comes in the wake of a public apology issued by Combs, vowing to improve his behavior. This statement was released after a video resurfaced showing him in a violent altercation with former partner Cassie in 2016.
The Associated Press typically refrains from naming sexual abuse victims without their consent unless they disclose their identities, like in Cassie’s case. Jane’s detailed testimony is anticipated to play a crucial role in the trial’s fifth week before the defense begins its presentation.
Jane will face cross-examination by Combs’ lawyers, preparing to challenge her account of the night. Describing the series of events, Jane recounted how Combs pursued her to a bathroom, kicked down a door, and overpowered her to the point where she couldn’t breathe. Jane also depicted her desperate attempt to flee, which included hiding outdoors for hours before returning to find Combs still present and aggressive.
The alleged abuse didn’t stop there. Jane testified that she was physically dragged back into the house by Combs, who continued to assault her. Later, she accused him of essentially forcing her into an encounter with a sex worker after she had applied makeup to hide the evidence of her injuries.
Additionally, during her testimony, Jane shared the emotional turmoil she faced after reading about Cassie’s lawsuit from November 2023, which echoed her experiences with Combs. The suit, settled for $20 million shortly after being filed, documented multiple intense sexual episodes involving Combs, aligning closely with Jane’s distressing accounts of similar events.
Cassie’s relationship with Combs spanned over a decade, marked by multiple extended sexual encounters orchestrated by Combs. As Jane revealed text messages during her testimony, she recounted pleas for Combs to acknowledge the harm of these coerced acts, stating the profound emotional toll taken on her.
