Warning: The updates below contain graphic details of alleged sex trafficking. An anonymous former girlfriend and alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs - known only as Jane - is giving evidence on the 19th day of his trial. Follow the latest below.

'I am not a porn star,' Jane told Diddy, as she reached breaking point
The following month, in October 2023, Jane says she was reaching breaking point over Diddy's sexual demands.
She says she responded to a text he sent her saying he was "missing" her by saying "call someone else… I don't want to be trapped performing loveless, cold sex".
She describes feeling "frustrated" at the pressure she felt was on her to earn "love, respect and romance" from Diddy.
Jane says she said she told Diddy she wanted to stop having sex with other men, telling him "sex is sacred to me" and that doing drugs and performing sex for days was "creating a war inside me".
Jane can be seen wiping tears from her face, with her head down, as the court takes a brief break.

Jane describes sex with 'cowboy wearing heels' at Trump International
Jane describes coming to New York the day after their text argument, saying Diddy had told her he "missed" her and she had calmed down. She says Diddy had told her he would take her for dinner and shopping, and she had believed there would be no "hotel nights" during the stay.
However, she says once the plane had taken off, she had received a message from Diddy saying he wanted a hotel night.
Jane says: "I took a deep breath. I was upset and a little disappointed."
Becoming emotional, with her voice cracking, Jane says Diddy warned her of a "surprise" which she said was him introducing her to a new escort, sending her a picture of a "cowboy wearing heels".
She says she met Diddy at the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York, where she was given ecstasy and then, wearing lingerie, had sex with the escort called "Cabrel" in front of Diddy.
She says she felt "discomfort" about having such nights "sprung" on her.
She says she went on to have sex with the same escort in Miami, too, as Diddy had been "very happy" with his performance.
15:13:24
'I'm doing things that make me feel disgusting with myself,' Jane tells jury
Last week, we learned that Diddy was still paying Jane's rent.
She has lived in her home for over two years. Describing her feelings over her house, she tells the jury she had begun to feel "guilt trippy things". She says the agreement "made me feel like I had to perform" sex for housing.
Jane says she didn't want to feel "obligated" to have sex with Diddy, to "put a roof over my head". She writes in messages to Diddy that she is "doing things that make me feel disgusting with myself," going on to say, "I don't want to keep feeling like this any more".
Jane says she sent that message to both of Diddy's two phones, to make sure he got the message. Diddy replies to her: "Girl stop."
14:57:26
Jane says she warned Diddy: 'I don't want to be your hoe for the millionth time'
As Jane begins giving evidence, she is being asked questions by prosecutor Maurene Comey.
Comey asks her about a yacht trip to Miami. Jane says she had agreed to "partying" at a "hotel night" for two days, after which Diddy had promised he'd take her on the trip, but says it never happened. She says she later saw on social media that Diddy had taken the trip with another woman.
She describes being "upset" after hearing Diddy boast during a podcast about "how much sex he had with his girlfriend" on the trip, but says Diddy was "dismissive" about her concerns.
Jane says she later texted Diddy saying: "I don't want to be used and locked in a room to perform and fulfil your fantasies."
Another text to him said she didn't want to come to New York to be "a hoe for the millionth time".
A text back from Diddy denies sleeping with the other woman on the trip, and says: "I'm tired of your false accusations… don't f*** with me… I didn't have sex with anyone."
14:20:59
'Jane' returns to the stand
A former girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs, testifying under the pseudonym "Jane", has now returned to the stand to continue giving evidence.
She is wearing a white jacket.
On Friday, she told jurors about days-long sex sessions with male escorts in hotels, saying she was given "multiple doses" of ecstasy to keep her awake during some of the longest "debauchery" or "hotel nights".
Today is her third day on the stand.
14:15:54
Day 19: Court is in session
Before testimony resumes, we are hearing a series of discussions between defence and prosecution lawyers as to whether certain pieces of evidence are admissible.
Over the weekend, the defence called for a mistrial, arguing that Cassie Ventura and Bryana Bongolan lied about Bongolan being "dangled" over a 17th floor balcony by Diddy in September 2016. The defence say the government should have known this was not possible, and say Diddy was away on the East Coast at the time of the alleged incident.
The government has also asked to recall Dr Hughes, a psychologist who spoke earlier in the trial, talking about "trauma bonds" between an abuser and their victim.
Both of these issues are expected to be addressed by Judge Arun Subramanian tomorrow.
14:02:38

What you need to know after day 18 of Diddy's trial - scroll down to catch up
An anonymous former girlfriend and alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs continued her evidence against the rapper on the 18th day of his sex-trafficking trial.
If you're just checking in, here's a round-up of all the key updates:
Jane began her evidence by telling jurors that Combs would become "incensed" if she asked for the "entertainer" to wear a condom, adding the rapper said he "didn't want to see a rubber while he was watching";
As she began to recall "hotel nights" she became emotional in court, saying she was given "multiple doses" of ecstasy to keep her awake with the longest session lasting around three days;
She explained that she felt she had to take the drugs "because when I wouldn't it would just feel too real";
Recalling a sobriety party in Beverly Hills, she said she went to the bathroom after having sex with two men and threw up, but Combs told her "let's go, third guy is here";
Jane said Diddy would call an assistant or security when he ran out of drugs, and told the court she also picked up a "white envelope" of drugs and "put it in my luggage" for Combs;
Explaining how "entertainers" were chosen, Jane said Combs chose who took part in the hotel nights at first, before she then started to pick them from late 2021 because she "didn't like to be surprised by a stranger";
But she recalled one occasion when she was "repulsed" by an entertainer who she described as being "really sweaty" and "smelled";
Jane said Combs filmed hotel nights "several times" and even directed what he wanted her to do - from putting baby oil on the man to touching herself;
The rapper also asked her to get nipple piercings because "that's what he wanted from his girl" and paid for her veneers as "he didn't like my teeth";
In a voice note played out to jurors, Combs told Jane "I can do whatever the f*** I want" after she said she needed a "breather and a break" from him;
Jane will return to the stand to continue her evidence on Monday.
21:59:59
Court finishes for the day
It's just reaching 5pm in New York, and that's all we're going to hear from Jane today.
She will return on Monday to continue giving evidence.
We'll be back with a recap of today's hearing soon - in the meantime scroll through our posts to catch up on what was said in court.

'At any moment he could cut me off', Jane says after Diddy voice note left her 'cold'
Jurors are played an audio message from Sean "Diddy" Combs to Jane after an argument between the pair in August 2023.
"I'm not going to be playing these games with you at all, nah, you are going to have a rude awakening, you will have silence," he said.
"You can be mad and have a spat, that's all it is, you got me on my job, it will never work like that over here, you need to get on your job... I am trying to be clear, I am going to disappear on you."
When asked about what she thought Diddy meant by saying he was going to disappear on her, Jane says she was "pretty alarmed by that message".
"I was just really cold and its true that at any moment he could just do that if he wanted to... cut me off."
Prosecutor Maurene Comey asks Jane what Diddy meant by telling her "you need to get on your job".
"Expectations of me," she replied.

American Pickers star Mike Wolfe branded as unrecognizable as he debuts new look

He's usually spotted scouring barns and backroads for forgotten relics, but American Pickers star Mike Wolfe has now turned heads for a very different reason. The 60-year-old reality TV star looked nearly unrecognizable in a new selfie shared to his Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 8. In the picture, he was seen standing alongside his girlfriend, former Beauty and the Geek contestant Leticia Cline, 46. Wolfe, known for his signature Americana style and keen eye for vintage treasures, rocked a yellow tee, green ball cap, black sunglasses, and a noticeably longer beard. Cline complemented his incognito look with a blue shirt, yellow hat, and a pair of red-orange shades. 'Undercover with @leticiacline,' Wolfe cheekily captioned the snapshot, which was set to The Rolling Stones ' Undercover of the Night. With both wearing hats and sunglasses, the couple looked like they were on a covert mission - potentially involving some antiques. Or perhaps they were just trying to enjoy a low-key day out without getting recognized by fans. The selfie comes weeks after he thrilled fans with a shocking career move: stepping into the world of film. In the upcoming movie Day of Reckoning, Wolfe will star alongside his girlfriend, Cline. The couple reportedly filmed the project earlier this year, marking Wolfe's first major acting role outside of his long-running reality series. Details of the film are still under wraps, but sources say the gritty thriller will show a whole new side of the antique hunter. Wolfe has certainly been keeping busy lately. In addition to launching a business venture in Le Claire, Iowa - rumored to be linked to fellow Pickers star Danielle Colby - he's also announced a brand-new History Channel series called History's Greatest Picks with Mike Wolfe. He also recently wrapped filming for Season 27 of American Pickers. But it's not all good news: as Wolfe recently shared a bittersweet update about the end of an era, announcing the closure of Antique Archaeology in Nashville Tennessee after 15 years. He explained that he wanted to slow down, focus on his family, and give his attention to projects that would 'pull at his soul.' He specified that he wasn't disappearing. 'I'll still be picking, sharing, and selling online and at our original LeClaire, Iowa store,' he said in his Instagram post. 'But I've learned over the years that it's easy to spread yourself too thin, and balance is something we all chase in one way or another.' But if his latest moves are any indication, the road ahead looks anything but dull.

THE new series of Love Island is underway and all the ladies have arrived in the villa. Six new gorgeous girls who are looking for a summer of love have made their entrance and they are all very glamorous - and excited. In a shock move, one singleton has already been booted out of the villa - and viewers are convinced they know who it is due to a big clue. The girl was told to grab her case and go after the arrival of bombshell Antonia Laites - who will be known as Toni in the show. In scenes yet to be aired, Toni - who is American - will make her dramatic entrance after all the islanders are coupled up. She is told to get to know the boys before choosing one to couple up with - leaving his girl being handed a one-way ticket back to the UK. Excited viewers think whoever is coupled up with Ben Holborough will be the person to get the chop, as Toni has already admitted to fancying celebs and 'popular' lads. Sexy model Ben has already been tipped as a front-runner for this year's series due to his good looks and cheeky personality. Love Island is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year – and has hit 2 BILLION streams on ITVX. Host Maya Jama will kick off the brand new series tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Meghan's theme park snap proves she is a cosplay Diana… the contrast between the two couldn't be more different

PRINCESS Diana was the world's first influencer. What she wore, women followed (only last year one of her dresses sold at auction for £900,000), what she championed, we believed, and how she exercised — the gym — made it acceptable for non-sportswomen to lift weights. 7 7 7 Now, with a newly bolstered PR team behind her, Meghan Markle is attempting to follow in her late mother-in-law's size 7s. Last week Meg's ruthless Diana cosplay came to a head. The privacy-loving star, who bravely fled to sun-kissed California to escape pubic scrutiny, posted a series of Instagram posts, documenting her private family's trip to secluded Disneyland for daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. One photo recreated one of Diana's most famous, and endearing, pics — that of her getting soaked on Thorpe Park's Log Flume in the Nineties It is just the latest in what appears to be a concerted, some might say cynical, Diana-inspired publicity drive. Facing an uphill battle in her bid to become the People's (excommunicated) Princess, over the past few months Meghan has gone into overdrive with her comms team. Indeed, she now has enough sycophantic staff to field a football team. Last month, Forbes reported the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had added an entire PR agency, Method Communications, to their roster, and appointed a new director of comms. It comes weeks after grandiose Meghan appointed a chief of staff, as if she were operating out of the White House, not Disney. She also has spokespeople based in both London and LA. It is hardly a coincidence, then, that her latest push for global impact has seen her mirroring the late, great Princess Di. (A woman who, TBF, I believe would have adored Meghan.) Meghan Markle Expands As Ever: From Lifestyle Brand to Hospitality Empire Meg has long worn her priceless Cartier Tank watch — a gift from Harry — but in February the cosplaying really began. First came a near-identical purple Midwestern college sweatshirt, and then more recently the feverish Insta activity. Last week her widely-debated, labour-inducing hospital twerk alongside hoody-wearing Harry could be compared to ballet-loving Diana's infamous 1985 dance with Wayne Sleep. Just as Diana's twirls made global headlines — infuriating then husband Charles at the same time — so Meghan's slut-dropping divided royal fans. Unquestionably the American actress, who appears to have put her philanthropic efforts on the back burner, is now an influencer. She reportedly plans to bring out a nice rose soon. Meghan's Oprah was Diana's Martin Bashir — except the latter was tricked into going on national television to tell all. Meghan hopped on that garden wicker chair quicker than you can say 'Mickey Mouse'. Single-handedly reversed public opinion While Diana certainly courted the Press at times, she also, certainly in the case of her 1997 landmine walk, put herself on the front line to do good. She shook the hands of Aids patients at a time when people were cruelly demonising those with HIV, and single-handedly reversed public opinion. In contrast, Meghan and Harry preach about climate change and then hop on a pal's private jet. Meghan bemoans socio-economic inequality while living in a 16-bathroomed Montecito mansion, and wearing Oscar de la Renta. She now even gets a percentage of profits made from the wares she flogged. The other problem is Meghan, who has now become a mononym — putting herself in the same category as, say Madonna, Adele and Beyonce — has 3.7million Instagram followers. More supporters Madonna, Adele and Beyonce have 20million, 58million and 311million followers respectively. Vicky Pattison (5.4million), Ekin Su Culculoglu (4.2million) and Maura Higgins (4.1million) all have more supporters than Suits' most famous export. In the words of one royalist on X: 'You wanted the crown without the class. You wanted the fame without the responsibility. 'Don't cry for respect when you're out here pimping your title & twerking for clicks like a fame-hungry influencer with delusions of grandeur. 'Now all that's left is a royal mess in heels, still trying to play duchess while behaving like an influencer on a bachelorette trip.' Quite. A PETITION has started to remove a madman/woman from TikTok. A trans woman, who now goes by the name of Lily Tino, is infamous for her videos in which she tried to get misgendered in public in order to shame restaurant staff. Now she has started taking selfies in women's bathrooms, rating them out of ten. When 99.9 per cent of trans people are kind, normal and decent, and just trying to live quiet lives, it's attention-seeking idiots like this who let down their community. BUTTER BETTER BUTTER should sue its old PR company. For years it's been maligned as some sort of short-cut to obesity, and a one-way street to Heart Attack City. Margarines like Utterly Butterly and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter reigned supreme in the Nineties while olive oil has been the fat du jour for the past 20 years. Poor ol' butter has been demonised. Now, finally, a US study shows a teaspoon a day reduces your chances of getting both heart disease and type 2 diabetes. TBF, TikTokkers – and those on the carnivore or animal diets – have been waxing lyrical about the benefits for years. There's even a whole raft of extreme influencers who eat a tub of butter daily, documenting their 'journeys'. Go check one out if you want to feel mildly sick. A GOOD CALL ON PHONES IN last week's column I bemoaned my terrible screen time, and warned that mobile phone addiction would be the biggest epidemic to hit Generations Z and Alpha unless more action is taken now to protect young people. Loads of you wrote in, sharing your own concerns. Now, a coalition of 21 schools, nurseries and colleges in London has written to families, urging parents to reduce their own – and their kids' – screen times. The letter, sent to the families of more than 11,000 children, is an unprecedented intervention – but a necessary one. Now the Government must step up, too. BADDIE TOM IS GOODIE FINALLY, some common sense from a Harry Potter former child star. Eminently likeable Tom Felton, who played baddie Draco Malfoy, has refused to slam JK Rowling. 7 Refusing to bite the hand that fed him – making him a millionaire global movie star in the process – he insisted her views on gender identity did not 'affect' him. 'The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world,' he told Variety. 'Here I am in New York, and I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter, and she's responsible for that. So I'm incredibly grateful.' Take note, kids. LEFT IN FIX BY SCAM YOU never think it's going to happen to you, until it happens to you. Yes, dear reader, watching countless Netflix documentaries and ITV dramas about silly men and women getting taken for a ride I appear to have been taken for a ride. 7 A couple of weeks ago my key got jammed in my lock and I googled a locksmith to come out and fix it. He arrived in an unmarked car, and proceeded to as if 'I rented or owned' and 'lived alone', and then told me that, unfortunately, as bad luck would have it, I had an exceptionally complicated lock. Then, £1,117 later, the f***er left. I had a little cry. The company, for those interested, was called Masterit. A quick Google search would have told me they have unanimously terrible reviews online, and have apparently exploited countless other poor/stupid souls. Obviously they won't now respond to emails or calls, and my insurance company will only pay out £200. I feel like a fool. HONESTLY, I PREFERRED THE ORIGINAL 7 7
