Sean 'Diddy' Combs ex-girlfriend in tears during testimony over coerced sex with strangers

NEW YORK — A young single mom who was involved with Sean “Diddy” Combs until his arrest last year laid out gut-wrenching accounts of being sexually exploited by the multimillionaire rap mogul at Manhattan Federal Court on Friday.

In explicit detail, “Jane,” a pseudonym, described multiple nights she spent sleeping with strangers in dimly lit hotel rooms as the rap mogul known as “Diddy” watched, masturbated, and plied her with hard drugs. She became so overcome with emotion at times she couldn’t speak.

Under questioning by Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, Jane could not estimate how many men the domineering Combs paired her with over their years together, which ended when the feds arrested him in September 2024.

Combs decided how many “rounds” of sex with strangers Jane would engage in, she said, testifying that it was sometimes as many as three. When asked who decided whether she could stop if she got tired during “hours and hours” of sex, Jane said Combs did and broke down into tears, later saying he would administer her ecstasy to stay awake.

“He would be like, ‘You’re not getting tired on me, are you? Let’s finish strong,’” Jane quoted Combs.

The witness said she cried at least twice in response to Combs wanting the sexual performances, including once when she thought they had a date night planned. She described Combs as being “disgusted” at her pain.

Jane, a single mom of one who had experience working in the service industry and a couple of modeling gigs before meeting Combs, wept throughout her testimony.

She said she felt “obligated” to participate in the degrading sessions, partly because she believed he loved her and also because the hip-hop entrepreneur paid her rent and had threatened to withhold it.

She said she tried to exercise some agency by choosing which escorts to sleep with and communicated to him many times, usually in writing, that she didn’t want to be participating in the dehumanizing encounters.

In one text Jane sent to Combs displayed in court Friday, she told the mogul she didn’t want to play that role in his life anymore.

“It’s dark, sleazy and makes me feel disgusted with myself,” Jane wrote. “It’s the only reason you have me around and why you pay for my house.”

The text continued with Jane saying she didn’t want to feel obligated to perform in the sessions and feared losing him.

Her voice sounding lifeless, Jane said the longest “hotel night” was over New Year’s in 2022, running for three and a half days. Describing one night in October 2023, she said the plan had been to stay sober, but she ended up taking drugs like ecstasy. After grueling, hours-long sessions with two men, Jane said she vomited in the bathroom, and Combs came to get her.

 

“That’s good, you’ll feel better,” she quoted Combs. “Let’s go, the third guy is here.”

Jane said she was “repulsed” by the situation.

Jane is the last of three women the jury will hear from at the trial who allege the rap mogul sexually exploited them, leaving them crippled by low self esteem and physical exhaustion.

Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, Combs’ ex of 11 years, took the stand first, and over four days, describing being brutalized in violent beatings, coerced into “hundreds” of dehumanizing sexual performances with men hired off the internet, and isolated from her loved ones while she healed from injuries. Ventura said Combs orchestrated the sessions he called “freak offs” and recorded many of them for blackmail.

A former assistant of Combs, who testified under the pseudonym “Mia,” testified that she was raped and sexually assaulted by Combs multiple times during her employment between 2009 through 2017. She said she was forced to work untenable hours and had little agency, living at Combs’ properties and requiring permission to leave, even off the clock.

Jane’s accounts mirrored many of those provided by Ventura like Combs forcing her to sleep with a stranger on her birthday, dictating when and where men would ejaculate, and then what happened with the bodily fluids. He also had rules around contraception.

“He better not ask for a f--king condom,” an inconsolable Jane quoted Combs once saying about an escort.

The Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office alleges Combs operated a criminal enterprise that saw his inner circle resort to crimes like sex trafficking, kidnapping, distributing drugs, exploiting employees for labor, and arson from 2004 to 2024. They say his associates went to extreme lengths to cover up his crimes and habitual violence and keep his victims isolated and submissive.

In addition to extensive testimony about the sordid sexual performances and instances of domestic violence, the jury has heard allegations that an armed Combs’ kidnapped his former longtime assistant, Capricorn Clark, in late 2011 to help him hunt down and murder the rapper Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, after Combs heard he’d dated Ventura.

Mescudi testified about his Hollywood Hills home being broken into, which Clark said she witnessed Combs carry out, and his Porsche being totaled with a Molotov cocktail weeks later.

Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transporting individuals for prostitution. If found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
