A woman Sean “Diddy” Combs dated until he was arrested on sex-trafficking and other charges in September 2024 returns to the witness stand Friday as this bombshell trial wraps its fourth week.
The “Jane Doe” — who says he brutally beat her and forced her to have unprotected sex with strangers — told the jury Thursday that 90% of their three-year relationship was spent in the drugged-up “freak-offs” Diddy orchestrated, filmed and pleasured himself to, which are at the center of this 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, using violence and threats, forcing her and others — including several male escorts — into sex marathons that went on for days.
The rapper has pleaded not guilty to RICO charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces life in prison if convicted.
The trial is not televised because cameras are prohibited inside the federal courthouse, but we’re there following all the action — so watch this space for the latest updates.

The fourth week of trial has wrapped up and Sean "Diddy" Combs ex-girlfriend is due to continue testifying Monday morning. Sean "Diddy" Combs is still paying $10,000-monthly rent for the posh house that his influencer ex-girlfriend lives in, she testified as a key prosecution witness against the rapper. "Jane" -- who is testifying anonymously under the pseudonym -- said she and the Bad Boy Records founder struck up a two-year "love contract" starting in April 2023 in which he paid her $10,000 a month. Jane told the jury that she uses all of the money to pay rent on her "really big" house. When Jane wasn't apparently enthusiastic enough in text messages about an upcoming "freak-off" sex session, the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper went off on her. "Well, get over it please," Combs texted her back. "Look at the roof over your head and that pretty smile." Jane earlier told jurors that the hip-hop mogul also previously paid for her to get veneers. It wasn't immediately clear where the house is located.Fourth week of trial wraps, Diddy's influencer ex is due back on the witness stand Monday

Sean "Diddy" Combs' influencer ex-girlfriend revealed in tearful testimony Friday that she texted him that she wanted to "get off the hamster wheel" and stop having marathon sex sessions with male escorts.
“I’d like to get off the hamster wheel and do something different with you, I deserve it," the woman testifying under the alias "Jane" texted the mogul in February 2023.
Jane sent the text soon after what she described as a nightmarish birthday event in which Combs forced her to have six with three male escorts back-to-back while he watched.
The normally soft spoken accuser loudly wailed Friday when explaining the texts to jurors.
"He knew that after three guys I was tired," she testified.
Jane also mused in her phone about wanting to stop letting the rap mogul use her to satisfy his "freaky wild desires in hotel rooms."
"I'm sorry, I don’t want to do drugs for days and days and have you use me to fulfill your freaky wild desires in hotel rooms," she wrote in a Nov. 26, 2023 message on her iPhone notes app.
But Jane testified that she was too scared to send that message as a text to Combs.
“I didn’t have the courage to send it to him” she testified.
Jurors heard an audio recording that Sean "Diddy" Combs sent to his one-time influencer girlfriend of him screaming, "You're f--king nuts!"
The Bad Boy Records founder sent "Jane" a voice note in which he was irate at her for raising concerns about their frequent "freak-offs."
"You're f--king nuts!" he could be heard yelling at Jane. "So be sad, go crazy, do whatever the f--k you wanna do."
His tirade came after Jane sent him a message telling him she needed a "breather and a break from you. This doesn't feel good at all. Your intentions with me are within plain sight."
After, Jane told the jury that Combs regularly called her "f--king crazy."
Sean "Diddy" Combs' one-time influencer girlfriend told jurors about the physical toll that constantly participating in drugged-up, days-long "freak-offs" took on her.
"Jane" said she had relentless back and shoulder pain from being forced to hold uncomfortable positions for long stretches during the sex marathons.
"I would be at the edge of a seat or at the edge of a bed in the position he liked me doing," she said, adding she would hold those poses for "many hours."
And she said she had infections "every other week" including yeast and urinary tract infections -- for which she sometimes had to take medications.
And it took her between a week and a half and two weeks to recover from the grueling sex sessions, she said.
Jane choked up again as she testified about feeling sore in her genitals "100%" of the time she had sex with male escorts.
Sean "Diddy" Combs' one-time influencer girlfriend told jurors that when the rapper gave her directions during "freak-offs" with male escorts, she responded "on command."
"Jane" testified that the Bad Boy Records founder gave instructions to her and the male prostitutes about how to act during the drugged-up sex marathons.
Even though Jane said she didn't like having sex with other men, she said she pretended to enjoy herself.
"I wanted to put on a good show," she testified.
Two of Diddy's seven kids have shown up for the trial today.
Sons Christian "King," 27, and Justin, 31, walked into Manhattan federal court together Friday morning.
Both are wearing white collared shirts and are overdressed for the summery weather in NYC, where temps are in the 80s.
Christian paired his with tan pants and a striped tan vest and matching skull cap, and Justin added a light blue sweater on top.
The two were with security as they attended their father's trial.
Diddy's daughters, Chance and twins Jessie and D'Lila, remain absent after coming to court in the early days of the trial.
Sean "Diddy" Combs had his one-time influencer girlfriend have sex with three male escorts back to back on her birthday, according to testimony.
"Jane" testified that on her birthday in Miami in 2023, the Bad Boy Records founder pressured her to partake in a "hotel night" -- aka "freak-off" -- with three male prostitutes in a row.
"It was my birthday and I just didn’t want to do this on my birthday,” she testified through tears.
The trial is on pause for lunch break, and will resume with more testimony from "Jane" at around 1:15 p.m.
Sean "Diddy" Combs' influencer ex-girlfriend loudly sobbed as she told jurors she had sex with a male escort without using a condom during a "freak-off" on her birthday because she didn't want the rapper "to be unhappy with me."
"Jane" said she went to Miami in 2023 on her birthday to celebrate with the Bad Boy Records founder and he pressured her to have sex with a male prostitute without using protection and she went along with it.
Jane testified in fits and starts as she choked up and wept loudly, recounting the night when Combs gave her a "dirty" look and snapped, "You better not ask for a f--king condom."
"I just didn't want my partner to be unhappy with me," she said, sobbing.
She testified she was able to use a condom for the encounter but Combs "hated it" and "it just made me feel really, really bad and I just wanted it to be over."
Prosecutor Maurene Comey twice asked Jane if she needed a break to compose herself, but she chose to press on with the harrowing testimony.
Sean "Diddy" Combs enlisted his personal trainer, Paul, to participate in "freak-offs" with his one-time influencer girlfriend "Jane," according to testimony.
Jane told the jury that she and the Bad Boy Records founder saw Paul for "hotel nights" — aka "freak-offs" — in Miami, Los Angeles and even in Turks and Caicos.
And she understood that he was also the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper's personal trainer.
Sean "Diddy" Combs asked his one-time girlfriend "Jane" to have two male escorts they hired for "freak-offs" send X-rated photos to them, according to testimony.
Jane testified that on "many" occasions, the Bad Boy Records founder asked her to have two male adult film actors, Sly and Antoine, send them pictures of their genitals.
"He wanted me to ask for nudes," Jane told the jury.
"He would say, 'Get them to send you something, or FaceTime them' ... and so they would," Jane testified.
Jurors were shown explicit text messages between Jane and Sly, but the images were so graphic they won't be shown to the public or the media.
