NEW YORK — Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial wrapped its fifth week on Friday after days of devastating testimony from his ex-girlfriend “Jane,” as well as a surprise appearance at the courthouse by the rapper formerly known as Kayne West.

Combs, 55, is facing life behind bars if he’s convicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. Much of the rapper’s trial has come back to what prosecutors say were forced sexual sessions known as “freak-offs,” which they claim raged on for years thanks to his fame, fortune and an inner circle tasked with covering up his crimes.

Week five of the trial picked up with additional testimony from a woman using the pseudonym “Jane,” whose identity has been strictly protected from becoming public. She said she dated Combs from 2021 until the fall of last year, noting that her plans to meet up with him at a New York hotel were interrupted by his arrest in September.

Jane previously testified that the early days of their relationship were filled with affection, but quickly turned into her becoming nothing more than an object of Diddy’s twisted desires. She said she’d been beaten, psychologically abused and threatened into performing in the freaks-offs — days-longs, drug-fueled sex parties with escorts that the rapper “framed as love.”

Here are the key moments from the fifth week of trial:

Recorded calls show aftermath of Cassie’s lawsuit

Jane took the stand again on Monday, telling the jury that Cassie Ventura’s November 2023 lawsuit against Combs was a watershed moment in her own toxic romance with the hip-hop mogul.

Ventura — whose volatile on-and-off relationship with Combs from 2007 to 2018 was the focus of the first week of trial — accused Diddy at the time of rape, sex trafficking and years-long abuse. While they settled the suit for $20 million the following day, it ultimately sparked the federal investigation into Diddy’s alleged crimes.

“There were three specific pages [in Ventura’s lawsuit] that was just a harrowing reference to what I was experiencing,” Jane told the court, saying that she subsequently texted Combs: “I feel like I’m reading my own sexual trauma.”

In a phone call with Combs played for the jury, an emotional Jane said she’d been crying for days after reading Ventura’s suit, finally realizing the destructive nature of their own relationship. She detailed the “word for word” parallels between her experience and what Ventura described, as Combs kept asking whether the call was being recorded.

Jane testified that by the end of 2023 she was having suicidal thoughts, at which point she attempted to distance herself from Combs. Around the same time, she said he began threatening to release videos filmed during the freak-offs, similar to the blackmail accusations made by Ventura.

Jane describes brutal attack after calling Diddy a 'pedophile'

Jane described being brutally beaten by Combs in June 2024 after she confronted him about dating a woman decades his junior.

“I just remember calling him a pedophile,” she said on the stand, recalling asking Combs, “If a girl can’t buy her own drinks, what makes you attracted to her?”

The situation quickly escalated, Jane said, with her shoving Diddy’s head into a kitchen counter and him flying into a rage. In a beating she claimed lasted for hours, he allegedly picked her up and put her in a chokehold, eventually bashing her in the face and head.

With a black eye and knots on the top of her head, Jane said she was then ordered to perform oral sex on a male escort whom Combs frequently called. When she cried out she didn’t want to, Diddy allegedly bullied her into taking ecstasy, asking, “Is this coercion?”

Jane weighs in on Diddy’s sexuality and cuckolding

Jane asserted on the stand that Combs is likely bisexual but, being “too scared” to explore that side of himself, used his girlfriends’ interactions with escorts to dip his toe into the water with men.

“I wanted to know why my partner wanted so many of these nights,” Jane testified, saying she researched sexual fetishes and stumbled upon one that was “spot on.”

“He liked to use the words ‘voyeurism’ and ‘escapism,’” she told the court. “I would use the word ‘cuck’ for him, more so.”

When asked to define the term, Jane said: “A cuck derives pleasure seeing his woman derive pleasure from another man. Cucks could also have a bi-curiosity that they’re too ashamed to experience themselves. So they use the woman to venture out in this curiosity without actually doing the act itself.”

Jane grilled on willingness to participate in freak-offs

During cross-examination, Jane was grilled about why she would participate in the sordid sex sessions if she really didn’t want to, as she claimed on the stand.

She said she deeply loved Combs and wanted to satisfy him, so she put on “blinders” despite his alleged abuse. Similar to Ventura, she said that pushing back on the freak-offs often provoked his rage, with Diddy threatening to leave her without a roof over her head.

The single mom previously admitted to being financially supported by Combs, with him investing in her companies, buying her lavish gifts and paying her rent. Fighting back against Jane’s claims that she was forced into the freak-offs, Diddy’s defense team attempted to paint her as an opportunist who consensually took part in the sex sessions to fulfill her own greed.

Prosecutors read texts from days after Cassie lawsuit

Several texts Combs sent to Kristina Khorram, his chief of staff at the time, were read to the jury.

“Make sure Robin is not doing anything dumb like not having that rent paid on time … Make sure she paid for this month,” Combs wrote in an apparent nod to his accountant handling Jane’s rent, which testimony has indicted he still pays to this day.

That exchange took place on Nov. 21, 2023, just days after Combs settled his lawsuit with Ventura and around the same time that Jane confronted Diddy about those claims.

Diddy’s ex-assistant talks drug-fueled 'king nights'

Jonathan Perez, a personal assistant who worked for Diddy from December 2021 to the month of the rapper’s arrest, laid out the preparation necessary for what he called a “king night,” which involved Diddy “going to [a] hotel to have private time with a female.”

Perez said he obtained drugs including Xanax, cocaine and MDMA “a handful of times” for his boss, who regularly embarked on “king nights” with a bag full of drugs and money. Perez said he was also tasked with procuring alcohol, condoms, lubricant, red lights and adult outfits from sex shops — “everything [Diddy] would need for 12 to 24 hours.”

Perez testified that Jane always seemed like a “willing participant” in the “king nights,” and never appeared “upset or unhappy” after one. He added that he’d never seen Combs hit Jane or anyone else.

Homeland Security agent testifies to items recovered during raid

The jury was shown photos of multiple items recovered from one of Diddy’s homes during the raid on his properties in March 2024. The images depicted envelopes containing ketamine, a bag of MDMA and at least 16 boxes full of lubricant bottles. They also showed six firearms — four rifles, one pistol and one shotgun — found in a designated security room.

Homeland Security agent Andre LaMon testified that the feds recovered around 900 bottles of lubricant and 200 bottles of baby oil. He also described finding over 100 rounds of ammunition, including 59 rounds of green-tip ammo intended to penetrate body armor.

Kanye 'Ye' West makes courthouse cameo

Embattled rapper Ye — himself accused of drugging and sexually assaulting an ex-assistant during a studio session hosted by Combs — arrived at the courthouse late Friday morning to show his support for his friend.

The “Heartless” rapper was not allowed into the heavily controlled courtroom and instead watched the testimony in the overflow room alongside Diddy’s son Christian “King” Combs.

Ye abruptly left after less than a hour and did not answer any questions as he walked past reporters and ducked into a sedan. He’d earlier been asked if he’d be testifying on behalf of Combs, which he also didn’t answer.

The surprise cameo came nearly three months after Ye released “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” a new song that seemingly features a phone call with Combs while behind bars.

Earlier this year, amid one of his now-infamous social media rants, Ye also advocated for Diddy’s release from prison, claiming that people are only trying to “make an example out of Puff.”

Prosecutors seek to replace a juror

Prosecutors this week sought to replace a juror after they said they found inconsistencies in the answers to where he lives, raising questions about his credibility and whether he has an “agenda” for sitting on the panel.

During jury selection, the man said he lived in the Bronx, but prosecutors claim he told a court employee that he recently moved to New Jersey. Only residents of New York can serve as jurors in Manhattan federal court.

Under questioning by the judge, the man admitted to moving, but said he still holds a New York driver’s license and stays there during the week.

Prosecutors said the juror’s dismissal is required due to his conflicting answers, but Diddy’s defense alleged the man was being singled out in a “thinly veiled effort to dismiss a Black juror.”

On Friday, Judge Arun Subramanian said he would consider replacing the juror with an alternate, but assured the defense the jury would remain diverse.

Federal prosecutors have indicated that they’re close to wrapping up their case against Combs, potentially as early as Wednesday.

The Harlem-born rapper has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. While acknowledging he’s been violent with partners in the past, his defense team maintains that he never coerced or threatened anyone into nonconsensual sex.
