Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial: Ex-girlfriend claims she was forced into sex to pay her rent

Gut-wrenching texts sent by rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex begging to get out of “freak offs” were shown at his trial. Follow updates.

A social media influencer who says Sean “Diddy” Combs savagely beat her and made her have unprotected sex with porn stars and escorts during their three-year relationship returned to the witness stand Monday US time, kicking off the fifth week of this bombshell sex-trafficking trial.

The woman testifying anonymously as a “Jane Doe” sobbed uncontrollably last week as she described for the jury in horrifically graphic detail how the disgraced rap mogul forced her into depraved, drug-fuelled “freak-off” sex marathons that are at the centre of the case.

Combs, 55, is accused of using his fame, fortune and many businesses to run a decade-long scheme in which he controlled and manipulated his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, 38, and others including Jane using violence and threats, forcing them into the “freak-offs” that went on for days.

The rapper has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces life in prison if convicted.

‘I PRAY FOR HIS CONTINUED HEALING’: JANE’S FINAL MESSAGE TO DIDDY

Combs texted Jane just days before his bombshell arrest asking her for X-rated videos and for her to come see him in New York City, according to testimony.

Jane exchanged her final text conversation with the Bad Boy Records founder on September 9 – just five days before he was arrested in Manhattan on a trip when he’d come to negotiate with the feds about his surrender.

The hip-hop mogul asked Jane to send him explicit videos of her and for her to visit him in the Big Apple.

The witness said she prayed Combs would find “healing”. Picture: AP

Prosecutor Maurene Comey asked: “Did you end up going to New York to see him?”

“No,” Jane responded. “Because he was arrested.”

Jane told the court she “prays for his continued healing” as her third day of testimony wrapped up at his bombshell sex trafficking trial.

“How do you feel about Sean now?” prosecutor Maurene Comey asked the witness.

Jane let out a deep exhale before answering.

“I just pray for his continued healing and I pray for peace for him” she replied.

The trial will resume Tuesday local time when Jane will be cross-examined by Combs’ lawyer, Teny Geragos.

‘CHOKED ME’: DESCRIBES BEATING BY RAPPER

Diddy’s former partner described a vicious fight she got into with the rapper where he kicked in multiple locked doors and lifted her by the neck, choking her.

Jane described for jurors the romantic night at her home with Combs that turned dark and violent on June 18, 2024.

The alleged incident took place a few months after Combs’ homes were raided by the feds in March and a few months before he was ultimately arrested in September.

Jane admitted to kicking things off by calling Combs names, pushing his head onto the marble countertop and then throwing candles and glass at him before he launched a brutal, hours-long counter attack.

After losing it on Combs, Jane told the court she started to see that things were escalating she wanted to get away and started locking herself in various rooms, but the hip-hop mogul kicked in locked doors each time she hid in a new room, she testified.

Jane then made for the front door before “Sean kicked me from the back of my thigh and I fell down on my butt and then he picked me up in a chokehold and choked me.”

Jane says she managed to squirm free, run barefoot out of the house six blocks away and hide out for two hours before returning to the house only for Combs to resume the beating.

Combs kicked and punched his ex-girlfriend as she lay balled up on the ground, smacked her as she stood naked in the shower — and then demanded that she put on lingerie and high heels for a “freak-off,” she testified.

Jane told jurors that Combs brazenly told her to cover up her injuries from the vicious June 18, 2024 assault – which left her with a black eye and two “golf ball sized” welts on her forehead.

“He said just put some make up on, put your hair to the side, you’ll be fine,” Jane recalled.

Combs had punched and kicked her while she was on the ground, then dragged her by her hair into the house and later smacked her as she stood naked in the shower, causing her to fall to the floor, she testified.

Afterwards, Combs told her, “just put some ice on it and put an outfit on,” she told jurors.

“He wanted me to put lingerie and high heels on,” Jane said.

“What did you do?” prosecutor Maurene Comey asked.

“I did that,” Jane replied.

The witness started crying on the stand as she recounted for jurors how the rapper threateningly asked her “is this coercion?” after he brutally beat her and then expected her to perform in a “freak-off.”

Combs choked, kicked and punched Jane and then expected her to have sex with a male escort that same night, for his sexual gratification.

Before the forced sex-session, the rapper pressured her to take an ecstasy pill, saying, “take this f***ing pill, you’re not gonna ruin my f***ing night” and then told her to start having sex with the escort – despite her objections.

“Is this coercion?” Combs said, standing really close to Jane’s face, she testified through tears.

COMBS IS FOOTING EX’S LEGAL BILL

Combs is still paying his influencer ex-girlfriend’s legal fees as she testifies against him, she told the court on Monday.

“Who has paid for the lawyer the whole time you’ve had that lawyer,” asked the prosecution, referring to the lawyer currently representing her.

“Sean,” replied Jane, who has testified that the rap mogul kept her financially beholden to him – threatening to withhold the $10,000 allowance she mostly spent on rent – while pressuring her into having sex with other men while he watched.

Following a brief break in their relationship between Dec. 2023 and Feb. 2024, Jane created an OnlyFans account and was generating her own income, she testified Monday.

However, her proceeds weren’t enough for her to pay off the credit card debt she incurred furnishing her home, she said.

“I just wanted to be independent again, I wanted to reclaim having that confidence where I didn’t have to rely on anyone,” Jane testified.

JANE WAS SLEEPING WITH RAPPER WHEN CASSIE VIDEO WENT PUBLIC

Jane sleeping with the embattled mogul at his Miami home in May 2024 when CNN published the infamous footage of Combs brutally assaulting Cassie Ventura, jurors heard.

She said that one of the hip-hop producer’s adult sons knocked on their bedroom door to let them know that “something happened.”

She told jurors that she then went downstairs and watched the assault video on her phone.

Describing the day as “very eerie,” Jane said she recalled giving Combs “space” as he went into damage control, huddling up with his team and family.

“I just remember that they were just trying to come up with some sort of sincere apology post or something regarding the video,” she testified.

Jane said she was ultimately “disappointed” with Combs’ public apology he posted on his Instagram page.

“I felt there was no heart there,” she told jurors.

JANE ‘FAINTED’ WHEN SEX TAPE RELEASE WAS THREATENED

Diddy’s ex testified that she “fainted” when she found out a “really big media company” had a sex tape of her.

Jane told the court she was first extorted by a porn star named “Sly” whom she and Combs had hired multiple times for “freak-offs.”

Sly tried to get $A15,000 out of her in March 2024 after the feds raided Combs’ homes.

But Jane told Combs who helped her lawyer up and they didn’t end up giving into Sly’s demand.

Jane then got a call from a “really big media company” telling her “they had just bought the tape and that they were about to publish it and do I have any comment.”

“I fainted and I called my lawyer,” she said.

The video never came out and Jane doesn’t know why, she testified.

‘FREAK OFFS’ CONTINUED AFTER DIDDY RAIDED BY FEDS

Combs brazenly kept having “freak-offs” after the feds raided his homes in March 2024, according to testimony.

Jane, Combs’ influencer girlfriend until his September arrest, testified that after the pair were on a break the hip-hop mogul wooed her back despite her repeatedly telling him she felt used by his relentless pressure for her to continuously partake in “hotel nights” — also called “freak-offs.”

Jane testified she ended up going on a few trips to Miami and Los Angeles in May, July and August 2024 where she ended up getting sucked back into more of the drugged-up sex marathons with male prostitutes for Combs’ pleasure.

COMBS AGREED TO PAY EX $A690K FOR ‘RESENTMENT’

Combs agreed to pay his influencer ex $450,000 ($A690k) in “reimbursement” for their relationship, according testimony.

Jane texted the Bad Boy Records founder: “I want 3 years reimbursed.”

She said Combs then asked her to come up with a number and at the time she didn’t know how much his other ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura had settled for since it wasn’t public.

“$150K ($A230k) to move on from resentment,” Jane texted him. “$100k ($A153k) per year.”

Jane told Combs she turned down work opportunities during her three years dating the hip-hop mogul and much of that time she was “high and coerced” to perform in sex marathons with male escorts for his pleasure.

Combs then called her and agreed to the $A690,000 demand, Jane testified.

“I remember he was saying ‘Charge me, charge me for your resentment. I don’t want any loose ends,’” Jane told the jury.

It was not immediately clear if Combs paid the money but Jane testified last week that her

$A15,000-monthly rent for a posh house was still being paid by him, per the terms of a “love contract.”

Jane also just told jurors she never lawyered up and never threatened or planned to sue Combs.

Ventura testified she settled her bombshell lawsuit with the hip-hop mogul for $A30 million.

‘SIDE CHICK AND SEX WORKER IN MY OWN RELATIONSHIP’

The witness Jane testified she once texted the hip-hop mogul that she felt like a “sex worker” in their relationship.

“I became a side chick and sex worker in my own relationship,” Jane texted Combs in December 2023.

Jane told the court Combs once threatened to release their sex tapes to her baby daddy.

“You threatened to release my tapes and threatened to post them,” texts shown to the court read.

Jane explained to jurors what she meant by the text to Combs saying: “At the height of his anger he just said, ‘I’m just going to show your child’s father these tapes. I have nothing to lose.’”

‘IF ANYONE SAW THESE VIDEOS THEY’D SAY YOU WANTED IT’

Jane once texted him Combs “was consenting” to having sex with male escorts for his “freak-off” sex sessions.

Jurors have been shown dozens of messages in which Jane told Combs in 2023 that she didn’t want to take part in their “hotel nights” and that she felt he was simply using her for his sexual pleasure.

But in one text Jane sent Combs in the fall of 2023, she said: “I know I was consenting, like you say on tape.”

Prosecutor Maureen Comey asked Jane “Why did you say, ‘I know I was consenting?’”

“I picked the word up from (Combs.) He said, ‘If anyone saw these videos they’d say you wanted it.’”

Comey followed up by asking if it was true that Jane agreed to partake in the orchestrated sex marathons.

“I’m still trying to figure that out,” Jane told the jury.

But jurors also saw that Jane wrote on the note app on her phone that “I’m having real life PTSD from these nights and feeling extremely violated.”

‘I’M NOT A PORN STAR, I’M NOT AN ANIMAL’

Jane told the court she begged Combs to stop having drug-fuelled marathon sex sessions with her and male escorts declaring, “I’m not a porn star. I’m not an animal,” jurors heard Monday.

“Our experiences are desensitising sex for me,” the woman testifying under the alias “Jane” texted in another message during an October 2023 exchange.

“I need a break. I don’t want to do anything, I’ve hit a wall,” Jane continued over text.

“I can’t be used like this anymore. I just wanted to make you happy, but it’s creating a war inside me,” she added in another message to the Bad Boy Records founder.

Jane sobbed on the witness stand Monday morning while reading the texts.

“I was referring to not wanting to give my body to anybody else, period,” she testified.

‘USED AND LOCKED IN A ROOM TO PERFORM’

Combs demanded his influencer girlfriend send him X-rated videos while he was with another gal pal, according to Jane’s testimony. on Monday local time.

Jane told the court she received messages from the Bad Boy Records founder pressuring her to send him videos of herself “being a bad girl.”

Jane – who is testifying anonymously under the pseudonym – said she got “upset” and pushed back against the request because the I’ll Be Missing You rapper was with another woman.

But Combs insisted anyway, saying, “Just do what I say please, I’m horny,” according to August 2023 messages shown to jurors.

“Stop it, don’t say no to me, please,” Combs wrote in a follow-up message.

The witness said she sent numerous text messages telling the hip-hop mogul she didn’t want to take part in “freak-offs” anymore.

“I don’t want to be used and locked in a room to perform and fulfil your fantasies,” Jane wrote in September 2023 texts to Combs.

“I’m coming to the realisation of what this really is.”

“I don’t want to feel obligated to keep performing these nights with you for the fear of losing the roof over my head,” Jane said in another message that month.

But the rapper completely glossed over her messages when he answered her in a voice message complaining about being “sick in bed.”

“This is a true open relationship, why do you have to make it a problem,” added a hoarse-voiced Combs.
