Diddy's Ex Passed Out After Reading Cassie's Lawsuit Describing 'Freak-Off' Orgies
The most recent ex-girlfriend of Sean 'Diddy' Combs testified further at his sex trafficking and racketeering trial in New York on Monday, detailing the deterioration of their relationship over the last few years, fainting from shock upon reading Cassie Ventura's civil lawsuit against him and a savage beating at his hands months before the fallen mogul's September arrest.
As prosecutors near the end of their witness list and get ready to rest their case, the victim, using the pseudonym Jane Doe to protect her anonymity, shared her experiences with the defendant over the back half of their three-year relationship. Last week, she told the court that about 90 percent of their time together revolved around 'freak-offs' or what she referred to as 'hotel nights,' which were drug-fueled orgies where she was allegedly coerced and blackmailed into having marathon sex sessions orchestrated and filmed by Combs as he looked on.

This came after the defense team made a second motion for a mistrial, citing what they called 'prosecutorial misconduct.' In a letter to the judge overseeing the case, Combs' attorneys wrote that federal prosecutors knew that testimony from Ventura's friend Bryana Bongolan, who told the court last week that she was dangled by Combs over Ventura's balcony in 2016, was false but allowed her to testify before the jury anyway. Judge Arun Subramanian has said he will respond to the letter on Tuesday.
From the witness stand on Monday, Jane testified further to the court of the alleged coercion to participate in hotel nights she claims to have experienced from Combs, who paid for her apartment and still does today; she said her housing felt contingent on keeping Combs happy, which she has said was always her goal in their ultimately orgy-centered relationship.
'[It was] like the home was being used as leverage,' she said, and added that she felt 'guilt-trippy things' about living in a home paid for by Combs. Jane told the court that this 'made me feel like I had to perform' sex for housing. She expressed this to him in a text that described her feeling 'disgusted' with herself. On two separate occasions, she told the court, a hotel night involved a man dressed as a cowboy while wearing high-heeled shoes and another involved three men, which led to her vomiting. Combs went to check on her afterward but quickly ushered her back to the 'party,' she said.
Jane also alleged that Combs blackmailed her with sex tapes he made of her and male sex workers at the hotel nights, telling her that he would release them in December 2023 and show them to her baby's father. This was amid a series of fights the couple had, she told the court, as their relationship was deteriorating as she began to show more agency and tell the wealthy business leader that she did not want to have sex with other men for his pleasure. Her mental health deteriorated during this time, she said, as she began to recognize the alleged gaslighting tactics Combs used on her; at a point, she began to have suicidal ideation, she said. Jane also described a time she vomited during a session involving three men and shared her thoughts after viewing footage of her at a hotel night.
'I saw me being high. I was following a pattern, the pattern that I thought he wanted to see,' she testified. 'It was like a show over and over again.'
A man named Cabral, who appeared with her in a sex video, asked for $10,000 for the footage, which Combs had shot on the sex worker's phone. It was eventually sold to an undisclosed publishing company, she said.
The turning point for Jane seems to have been when she read Ventura's 2023 legal filing against Combs, which was famously settled out of court the following day. Three pages of that complaint struck her sharply, she said. Jane also told the court that upon reading the suit, she fainted.
'I feel like I'm reading about my own sexual trauma,' she said. Combs asked for her emotional and spiritual support in a taped phone call from the time that was played in court.
'I just needed to tell you I need your friendship; you know you ain't gotta worry about anything else, baby, please pray for me,' the mogul told her. 'I will be praying for you; I need your friendship.'
Jane finally described on Monday a harrowing story, mentioned in the prosecution's opening statement, of being physically attacked by Combs amid an argument they'd had after he was photographed with a woman 25 years younger than him. Jane said she referred to him as a 'pedophile' and slammed his head into a marble kitchen counter. This allegedly enraged Combs, who stalked her around the apartment, kicking in four doors as she tried to flee from his attacks.
Describing the terror she felt on that day in June 2024, Jane said she escaped the home and lingered in the neighborhood for hours, waiting for Combs to leave.
Jane Doe's testimony will resume when court is back in session on Tuesday.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 'Eerie' Favorite TV Show Revealed in Trial
Earlier Tuesday, June 10, Sean "Diddy" Combs suffered another loss in court when a judge denied his legal team's attempt to declare a mistrial. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian rejected arguments from Combs' defense that focused on testimony from Bryana 'Bana' Bongolan, a close friend of Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura Fine. It was Combs' team's second attempt to declare a mistrial in the sex crimes case. Later in the trial on Tuesday, Combs' ex-girlfriend "Jane," testifying under a pseudonym, revealed under cross-examination that she "endured" nights in hotels with escorts because she wanted to spend time with Combs revealing nightly duties included bathing him, rubbing his feet, cuddling with him and watching his favorite TV show. "I felt loved by him because we experienced these things together," she said, via USA Today. In her testimony "Jane" revealed his favorite TV show true-crime franchise Dateline, which USA Today claimed as "eerie." The series features main host Lester Holt, who previously told USA Today that the show's stories are "relatable" because "you realize that people that do bad things could be across the street from you, their kids could go to school with yours." "A lot of the people in these stories were good people, up until the moment they weren't, or they were living normal lives like ours and then one day they became a victim of something really horrible," Holt said Combs faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in 'Diddy' Combs' 'Eerie' Favorite TV Show Revealed in Trial first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025

Diddy's ex-girlfriend ‘Jane' confirms he supported her financially
This is a free article for Diddy on Trial newsletter subscribers. Sign up to get exclusive reporting and analysis throughout Sean Combs' federal trial. Today, defense attorney Teny Geragos cross-examined 'Jane,' a pseudonym for one of Diddy's ex-girlfriends. Geragos pressed her about the inner workings of her relationship with the hip-hop mogul and tried to complicate her wrenching allegations of forced sex, physical violence and abuse. Here's what you need to know: PRESSURE: 'Jane' said Diddy 'introduced me to this lifestyle, under a lot of emotional pressure.' She said that she originally 'didn't understand the terms of the relationship' but that she eventually learned the rapper expected frequent 'freak offs' with escorts. She described a 'pressure to do these things he desired,' as well as 'fulfill my duties as a girlfriend.' MONEY: 'Jane' confirmed Diddy wire-transferred around $150,000 to her during their relationship. He sometimes used the offer to pay her rent as a 'tool,' she testified, implying that the gestures were a 'reminder' of his power. DRUGS: Diddy's alleged reliance on drugs and alcohol concerned 'Jane,' she said. She recounted a trip to the Turks and Caicos when he appeared to have jaundice, graying gums and shaking hands. 'I felt like he was overdoing the partying,' 'Jane' said. 'Jane' repeatedly broke down crying during her direct examination yesterday. But she was markedly more reserved and less visibly emotional during today's cross-examination. In one notable moment, however, she became testy with Geragos during an exchange about luxury handbags. Geragos asked her whether she had ever received Bottega bags. 'Jane' replied: 'I'm sure you have one.' Geragos then asked her how much a Bottega bag costs. 'Jane' responded: 'How much does my body cost?' The witness asked for a short break after the heated back and forth. Diddy nodded and even smiled throughout 'Jane's' cross-examination. He nodded vigorously as she described putting on lingerie to please him. 'Jan'e may be a victim of Diddy's domineering cruelty. She may have been mistreated by him. She may have been under his Svengali hold. But she also may have credibility problems. It's interesting that our justice system trusts jurors — no matter their backgrounds or educations — to decide whether witnesses are credible. In fact, the courts place few limits on a juror's ability to make credibility determinations. The court can instruct the jury to view with caution the testimony of, say, an informer or a drug addict. The court will also tell jurors that if they believe a witness knowingly testified falsely about an important matter, they can distrust the witness' testimony about other matters. But these instructions mostly empower — not restrict — a juror from making credibility determinations. In my view, 'Jane's' cross-examination gave the jurors reason to distrust her testimony. First, she was at times snarky with the defense counsel during cross-examination. Bad idea. It never looks good. But worse, she didn't own bad facts. She has an explanation for everything. When she was confronted with the sexually explicit text messages she sent Diddy, she said she did it only to keep him happy. When witnesses don't own bad facts, it looks bad. When witnesses fight with the counsel during cross-examination, it looks bad. It means that even if 'Jane' is telling the truth about everything, the jury may find she told the truth about nothing. Tomorrow: 'Jane' is expected to return to the stand for more cross-examination. The proceedings will start later than usual, at 1 p.m. ET.
