A woman testifying under the pseudonym “Jane” took the stand to detail a relationship she described as intoxicating, emotionally manipulative, and controlled by the powerful hip hop mogul. Her testimony, delivered under oath and often emotionally fraught, painted a portrait of luxury masking coercion—complete with money transfers, designer gifts, drug-fueled sexual encounters, and disturbing fantasies.
Jane, a self-described “content creator” and single mother, said she met Combs in 2020 during a girls’ trip to Miami, when he was dating her friend. After they partied on a yacht, he gave her his number and began pursuing her directly. Though her friend later got engaged and moved away, Jane testified that Combs had been romantically involved with both of them at the same time.
“I went to Miami in January 2021. He got me a hotel room,” she said. “We made a lot of love. We walked on the beach… I was head over heels.”
That relationship would stretch from 2021 until Combs’ arrest, despite multiple breaks. Jane described her growing emotional play by play of the relationship: “We started using the L word,” she recalled. “He told me he was seeing multiple women. I was OK with it. I liked him.”
During her testimony, Jane revealed she relocated from the East Coast to Los Angeles after Combs gave her $6,000 for the move. He continued sending her large amounts of money—including $10,000 at a time—and even gifted her a Cartier “love bracelet.” But beneath the surface of money and travel was an escalating pattern of control and drug use.
“Every time I saw Sean,” she said, “Ecstasy, Molly, cocaine, K or ketamine… He gave me the drugs. Ecstasy made me feel euphoric, sexual, more loving and flirtatious.”
Their sexual encounters, Jane said, were often ritualistic. “He liked me in lingerie, and with high-end stripper shoes,” she testified. “We’d have red lights on. He liked porn playing during sex. He wanted me to fantasize. We searched sites together.”
In one instance, Jane said Combs ominously told her “It can happen tonight,” after which a hotel suite was staged with red lighting and an unknown man was brought in. “I thought it was fantasy… I was super nervous,” she said.
Despite the troubling nature of many encounters, Jane continued seeing Combs until his arrest. She noted that her child’s father didn’t get along with Combs, and that Diddy responded by saying he didn’t mind.
“He was sweet,” she said at one point, while also admitting, “I never felt like I had the option of a monogamous relationship.”
Throughout her emotional testimony, Jane’s voice cracked as she recalled being pushed to enact sexual fantasies after watching pornography together. “He wanted me to fantasize,” she said.
Prosecutors are using her testimony to support a broader narrative of psychological and sexual exploitation disguised as a consensual relationship. The court was shown a video Jane filmed of “the villa, the vibe,” with additional exhibits sealed due to graphic content.
Before ‘Jane’ testified on Thursday, Combs received a stern warning from Judge Subramanian during today’s session of his federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial after being observed nodding at jurors while testimony unfolded. The judge cautioned Diddy’s defense attorney, Mark Agnifilo, that further disruptions could lead to limiting instructions or even removal from the courtroom.
The courtroom intensity escalated during the cross-examination of fashion designer Bryana Bongolan, who is suing Combs for $10 million and is now a key witness in the prosecution’s case. Bongolan testified that she purchased drugs for Combs and singer Cassie Ventura and described being physically assaulted—allegedly dangled off a balcony and groped by Combs.
In a tense exchange, Combs’ attorney tried to challenge Bongolan’s motivations and credibility. “You saw this as a chance to make $10 million, true?” asked defense counsel Westmoreland. Bongolan replied, “No. I am here for justice.”
The court reviewed evidence including screenshots of communications between Cassie Ventura and Kristina Khorram discussing the alleged balcony incident. The prosecution argued the messages demonstrated Ventura’s awareness of the coercion, but the judge ruled some statements inadmissible, calling them “self-serving hearsay.”
As scrutiny intensified, Bongolan acknowledged inconsistencies between her past legal filings and courtroom statements. She admitted to not writing earlier demand letters, clarified her recollection under questioning, and confirmed drug use with Ventura as late as 2016.
The courtroom also heard that some allegations in her original lawsuit may have been drafted by former legal counsel without her full agreement—raising further questions about the origins of specific claims.
