Diddy allegedly still pays for ex-girlfriend's rent, lawyer

Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly requested explicit videos from his ex-girlfriend one week before he was arrested in New York on federal charges.

Testifying under the pseudonym Jane, Diddy's ex claimed he invited her to New York, but she didn't go because he was arrested.

She confirmed to prosecutors that prior to a November 2024 subpoena, she had not spoken to the government. Jane testified Monday that she's been in therapy for three months.

She told the court that she retained a lawyer in late 2024, and claimed Diddy still pays for her legal aid and her rent. Her last meeting with Diddy's lawyers was in April, she testified.

Jane claimed she told Diddy's lawyers about the June 2024 incident, and hadn't told anyone before because she was still processing it and wanted to forget. She said she felt obligated to meet with the defense, and that it was fear-based. She didn't want to make Diddy mad, she testified.

Earlier in the day, Jane claimed Diddy asked her about coercion after he allegedly made her take drugs before having sex with a male escort. She testified about Diddy's alleged violent behavior, and said he once put her in a chokehold after kicking and punching her.

Jane claimed she was with Diddy, his family and friends when they helped craft his apology video following the release of the 2016 Cassie assault video from the InterContinental Hotel.

She told the court that she never heard the "Victory" rapper deny he was the one in the video assaulting Cassie . Jane testified that Diddy showed her a final draft of what he would say, and she understood he would post it on social media. She said she thought the message was heartfelt.

Additionally, Jane told jurors that a male escort named Kabrale once tried to extort them with a video from one of their "hotel nights."

Jane claimed on the stand that a media company reached out saying they had bought the tape. Her voice was shaky on the stand when she said, "I fainted and called my lawyer." Jane also said she called Diddy, and the company did not end up releasing the video.

Text messages shown in court allegedly between Diddy and Jane showed his ex-girlfriend writing that she wanted to kill herself after feeling manipulated by the Bad Boy Records founder.

Diddy allegedly asked about coercion when his ex refused to take drugs

Following a violent altercation, Jane allegedly refused to take drugs Sean "Diddy" Combs offered before she had to perform oral sex on a male escort named Anton. She claimed he asked her, "Is this coercion."

She cried while claiming Diddy was really close to her face and had a forceful tone. Jane testified to feeling sick after the experience with Anton, but put on a good face. She said Diddy was getting dressed when he "started saying all these horrible things to me." Jane testified that Diddy said any hope for a relationship was dead, and allegedly called her a whore.

Jane told the court Monday that two men allegedly brought $10,000-$12,000 in cash for Anton and the damages. She admitted that she saw Diddy a few days later "because I missed him so bad." She said things were "tense" when she went to Diddy's home, and recalled the Bad Boy Records founder telling her she lost his trust.

At the time, Jane said she had a bruised eye and welts on her forehead. Video evidence presented to the court showed bruising on Jane's head.

After learning from the media in June-July 2024 that Diddy went on a trip to Wyoming, she said she was "absolutely furious," because amid the controversy, he was able to plan a trip for another woman he's dating. She said she blocked Diddy and his entire team.

When Diddy's mother was reportedly hospitalized, she claimed she unblocked the rapper, and he allegedly asked to see her in Miami, to which she agreed.

She claimed they stayed at a hotel, had dinner and took drugs before suggesting a male escort named Paul join them.

When Paul arrived, Diddy allegedly gave Jane a spray bottle of liquid molly, which she said felt like a "surge of high octane sexual energy." She testified to seeing Diddy one more time in August 2024, where they allegedly had sex with a male escort named Don.

Jane then said she took Diddy's phone and called the woman she believed he was with. Over speakerphone, Jane asked her if she was on the trip to Utah. Diddy allegedly held Jane down on the ground as the woman hurled insults over the phone.

Jane claimed to tell the woman that Diddy was "beating her a-- right now," and Diddy allegedly hung up the phone. He then FaceTimed a man named Jonathan and asked him to tell Jane that he wasn't with a girl on his family trip.

She testified to going to the shower to cool off, which is where she saw two golf ball-sized welts on her forehead, and a black eye forming. She said meekly, "I'm smaller than Sean."

Jane claimed she was naked in the shower and Diddy was there with her, wearing pants, slapping her three times in the face. She said she lost her balance and fell.

Diddy's defense claims there could be privilege issues with prosecution's line of questioning

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team requested a sidebar during his ex-girlfriend's testimony.

The defense wanted to know the relevance of the line of questioning, as there could be privilege issues. The government said they could strike the last question and answer about Diddy's apology video final draft to make sure they don't get into potential privilege issues.

Diddy's team requested all questions about the video be struck due to being inappropriate. The prosecution noted there were no objections, and added that they were about to get into an incident were Diddy assaulted Jane and then made her have sex with an escort. They claimed the video questions related to state of mind.

The government then agreed to respect the privilege issues and strike the questions, but admitted they will ask a few more before going on a break.

The jury was shown a series of text messages from Oct. 16, 2023. In one text, Jane wrote that she was not an animal.  

Messages between Diddy and Jane from Oct. 23, 2023 were then shown. Jane wrote she didn’t feel like “performing loveless, cold sex.”  

On the stand, Jane explained she was really frustrated there was more pressure on her than anyone else and she had to earn basic things in her relationship - like love and respect - that everyone else was getting.

She wrote to Diddy, “I need a break. I don’t want to do anything. I’ve hit a wall.” Combs replied, “I’ll only make love to you.” Jane said it’s been 3 years of giving her body to other men. Combs said, “so we’re breaking up.”

Jane explained she did not say break up, but wanted to stop having sex with other men. She began to cry on the stand as she read her responses that sex is sacred. Jane wrote she needed a break and wanted to spend a day with just Diddy. She said it didn’t matter how good the night was, that the rapper always wanted her to do more.

Jane, Diddy's ex, claims rapper flew male escort out to New York and Miami

Sean "Diddy" Combs flew a male escort to New York City and to Miami, his ex-girlfriend testified Monday.

On Sept. 18, 2023, Jane texted a male escort named Kabrale asking if he wanted to come to NYC. According to Jane, a previous "surprise" Diddy had planned for her in NY with Kabrale didn’t go well and she wanted to make up for it. Kabrale took a flight to NY, came to the Trump International Hotel and had sex with Jane.

More texts from Jane to Kabrale from Sept. 19, 2023 were then read in court.

On the stand, Jane explained after having sex with Kabrale at the Trump Hotel, she and Diddy went for a walk. He allegedly felt faint, so they went to the The Whitby Hotel. Jane explained she had to go back to the Trump Hotel to get her belongings. She said she had to check “on the status of the cash” for Kabrale with Combs. Jane testified that she left an envelope of cash for Kabrale at the front desk.

Jane remembered resting for the rest of the trip and noted Diddy gave her COVID.

She testified she next saw Combs in Miami.

The jury was shown photos of the "Gotta Move On" rapper and Jane in Miami in September of 2023, shortly after the NYC trip. They were at the Edition hotel in Miami. Jane recalled Diddy being “really happy” with Jane and Kabrale on the NYC trip and wanted him in Miami as well.

Diddy's ex gets emotional recalling discomfort over alleged 'hotel nights'

Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend began to cry during testimony Monday while recalling her discomfort with alleged "hotel nights."

The jury was shown texts from Sept. 17, 2023. In a message, Diddy asked if Jane was on the plane. She told him she would text when she boarded. She then sent a picture of her outfit from the plane, telling him, “I grabbed this in case we end up doing anything…”

Jane, testifying under a pseudonym, explained to the jury that she was going to wear the outfit to dinner.

More text messages from Combs to Jane on Sept. 17, 2023 were shown. In one the rapper said, “Let’s have a good time…” 

Jane testified they went to a late, late night club, but not to dinner or shopping as Diddy had previously promised.

Jane wrote in a message to Diddy, “Miss my pretty heart d---.” Later she wrote, “You turn me on like crazy…”

According to Jane, while on the flight she received a message from Diddy that made her upset.

Diddy had texted, “Entertainment or movie night…” Jane said she remembers feeling upset and disappointed, and a little defeated. She said she was trying to brush away the question about entertainment. Jane previously testified an "entertainment" night meant she would have to have sex with a male entertainer.

Diddy wrote, “Check red phone,” a reference to the message he sent from the other phone. He then wrote he had a surprise. Jane began to cry on the stand and said she understood that Combs was “going to introduce [her] to somebody new.” 

“I hated it," she told the jury.

Diddy then sent Jane a picture of a man with a link to Cowboys for Angels. In response, Jane sent Combs a text trying to suggest “some nice places we could go to."

Jane explained that night in New York City, Combs picked her up late. She said she waited in the car and the last alternative was to go to a lounge. According to Jane, she was showing discomfort about “these nights” and Diddy got defensive. He then allegedly gave her ecstasy, she was in lingerie, heels and “this new man was coming.”

In a text to Diddy from 2023, Jane wrote that she had opened Pandora's box and hadn't been able to close it. According to Jane, she was doing things that made her feel disgusted with herself.

Jane sent this message twice, once to each of Diddy's phones to “make sure he got the message.”

Combs responded, “Girl stop. Let’s talk…call me ASAP.” 

In an audio message to Jane, Diddy said, “Yes…the message you just sent me…what is the problem like…why do you have to make it a problem?”  

Jane testified that Diddy did not respond to her comments about "hotel nights." She wrote, “call me back.” Combs then texted, “love you baby.”

She continued, telling the jury he told her he loved her, wanted to see her, missed her and she calmed down. Diddy then allegedly promised they would go to dinner, shopping, a proper New York City trip. Jane said Combs did not say anything about "hotel nights," so she did not think there would be one.

The jury was then shown a text where Diddy wrote, “what happened…I’m sad…”  

The prosecution presented a message from Jane’s notes app dated Sept. 16, 2023. Jane wrote, “As much as I wanna see you, I don’t want to come there and me treated like a hoe for the millionth time…”  Jane testified at the time she needed to write her feelings and wasn’t sure if she would send it. Ultimately, she sent a version to Diddy

In another message, Jane wrote that she didn’t want to be used to fulfill fantasies. Diddy told her it was “podcast talk.” He then wrote he was alone. “I’m tired of your false accusations…I didn’t have sex…"

Diddy's ex returns to stand as jury shown texts accusing the rapper of cheating

After taking the stand Monday morning, prosecutors asked Jane about a series of text messages from September of 2023.

In one text, Sean "Diddy" Combs wrote, “Send me some s--- of you being bad, girl.” Jane testified she understood Diddy to be asking for explicit videos. At the time, the two had been planning for Jane to travel to New York City. The rapper then asked the earliest Jane could arrive.

Jane wrote in a text, “Whoever you’re with needs to figure out how to get your d--- hard on their own.”

Jane wrote, "That phone does not lock…you’re using our videos to get your d--- hard for someone else.” Diddy wrote, “I was just asking you to send me something.” Jane responded, “I’m not coming to NY…it’s clear you just want me there to use me for a hotel b----…”

SEE IT: Cassie's friend bandaged and bruised after Diddy allegedly dangled her off balcony

Bryana Bongolan, Cassie Ventura’s friend, testified on June 4 in Sean “Diddy” Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

According to Bongolan, she wore a neck brace after Diddy allegedly dangled her off a 17-story apartment balcony.

Bongolan said she left Cassie’s Los Angeles apartment and went home after the incident in 2016. She went to take a shower because she felt “disgusting” and noticed a bruise on her leg. She claimed she also had back and neck pain.

The jury was shown photos, which were taken on the day of the alleged incident, of Bongolan's legs with a visible bruise.

Bongolan claimed she went to the chiropractor the same day as the incident because she “was freaked out.” According to her, one of her managers said to go to the chiropractor. Bongolan claimed the chiropractor asked, “Who did this to you?” She said she did not tell the chiropractor. “I was scared,” Bongolan explained to the jury.

The jury was then shown a photo of Bongolan’s back and neck. There were bandages where the pain was, according to her testimony. Bongolan was wearing a neck brace from the chiropractor.

Bongolan explained she did not seek other medical attention right away because she “was scared” and had drugs in her system. She later sought medical treatment when she decided to get sober.

During cross-examination, Diddy's defense presented receipts from the Trump International Hotel in New York City. His defense attorney pointed out the rapper could not have been in Los Angeles and NYC, accusing Bongolan of lying.

Diddy files for mistrial over alleged false testimony in federal court about 2016 balcony incident

Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs  filed a letter in support of a renewed motion for a mistrial, citing prosecutorial misconduct, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

In the letter, filed June 7 in the Southern District of New York, Diddy's legal team argued that the prosecution knowingly presented false testimony to the court.

Jurors heard testimony last week from Cassie Ventura's friend, Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, who claimed Diddy dangled her off a 17th floor balcony in September 2016.

Portions of her testimony were questioned after Bana couldn't remember details of the alleged incident, including what drugs she was on at the time. 

Diddy's legal team wrote that Cassie and Bana each provided "demonstrably false" evidence about the balcony allegation to the court, and then "doubled down, using this false testimony to obtain a ruling admitting inadmissible hearsay evidence about it as well, all to present a false narrative to the jury."

During court Monday morning, the prosecution noted the government plans to respond to the defense's motion today. Judge Arun Subramanian said he'd address it Tuesday.

He told the jury when he picked Cassie up, she was “very stressed, nervous, scared, didn’t know what Sean Combs would do.”

After picking Cassie up, they allegedly went to the Sunset Marquis, because it was “someplace safe” and “off the radar.”

At the Sunset, Kid Cudi spoke with Diddy’s assistant, Capricorn Clark, on speakerphone. Kid Cudi testified that Clark sounded “very scared” and seemed to be crying. He said Clark, told him that Diddy was at Cudi’s house and alleged she was forced to go with him. Clark allegedly waited in the car. Kid Cudi testified he drove home after the call.

On the drive to his house, Kid Cudi claimed he called Diddy and asked, “muthaf----, you in my house?” Combs allegedly responded that he just wanted to talk. Cudi told him he was on his way home. Kid Cudi says Diddy’s tone was calm.

Cudi claimed when he arrived home, he found his security cameras weren't working and were positioned as if someone had moved them out of the way.
