Sean 'Diddy' Combs criminal trial: The defence makes the ex-girlfriend read romantic texts until she broke down
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' criminal trial has been going fiercely, as every inch of detail gets revealed in the sexual harassment allegation lawsuit. Jane, the ex-girlfriend of Diddy, read her texts aloud in front of the entire court until she broke down on Wednesday.
Jane sniffled and dabbed her eyes with tissues...
According to The Independent, Jane, who is under the pseudonym to deter from revealing her identity, was testifying against the music mogul and confronting the defence lawyer, Teny Geragos, during the second day of cross-examination.
The defence, who believed that Jane was a willing participant in the freak-offs, where she had to be intimate with multiple male entertainers, asked her to read the texts aloud that she sent him over the years from 2021 to 2024, until he was arrested.
While reading the texts, one significant point arose where the texts said she never had a man in her life who took care of her like Diddy did. As she was reading about professing her love for the 55-year-old man in the texts, Jane started to sniffle in court, and dabbed her eyes with the tissue papers.
Other conversations between Jane and the defence
The prosecutors objected and requested a sidebar conversation with the judge and away from the jury, while Combs was reading the monitor in front of him.
Jane, who has confessed that she still loves Diddy, previously said that she had gained insights after going to therapy for three months. However, Jane also admitted that she never had any interest in being intimate with any man except Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
Geragos also pointed out that the single mother had been angry with the American rapper and wanted to end their relationship over how he treated his other girlfriends. In one of the incidents, Jane addressed that she was upset about the necklace the Bad Boy Records founder gave her that resembled the jewellery he bought for another girlfriend.

Israel strikes Iran's nuclear sites, Iran retaliates with missile barrages
Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran's nuclear and military structure on Friday (June 14, 2025), deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists — a barrage it said was necessary before its adversary got any closer to building an atomic weapon. Iran retaliated late on Friday by unleashing scores of ballistic missiles on Israel, where explosions flared in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. In a second round of attacks, sirens and explosions, possibly from Israeli interceptors, could be heard booming in the sky over Jerusalem early Saturday. The Israeli military urged civilians, already rattled by the earlier wave of missiles, to head to shelter. The Iranian outlet Nour News, which has close links with the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, said a wave was being launched. Associated Press journalists in Tel Aviv could see at least two Iranian missiles hit the ground, but there was no immediate word of casualties. A hospital in Tel Aviv treated seven people wounded in the second Iranian barrage; all but one of them had light injuries.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a recorded message Friday: 'We will not allow them to escape safely from this great crime they committed." Iran's U.N. ambassador said 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded in Israeli attacks. Israel's paramedic services said 34 people were wounded in the barrage on the Tel Aviv area, including a woman who was critically injured after being trapped under rubble. In Ramat Gan, east of Tel Aviv, an Associated Press journalist saw burned out cars and at least three damaged houses, including one where the front was nearly entirely torn away. U.S. ground-based air defense systems in the region were helping to shoot down Iranian missiles, said a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the measures. Israel's ongoing airstrikes and intelligence operations and Iran's retaliation raised concerns about all-out war between the countries and propelled the region, already on edge, into even greater upheaval. Israel had long threatened such a strike, and successive American administrations sought to prevent it, fearing it would ignite a wider conflict across the Middle East and possibly be ineffective at destroying Iran's dispersed and hardened nuclear program. Also Read | European leaders call for de-escalation and diplomacy as Israel and Iran conflict flares up But a confluence of developments triggered by Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack — plus the reelection of U.S. President Donald Trump — created the conditions that allowed Israel to finally follow through on its threats. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the U.S. was informed in advance of the attack. On Thursday, Iran had been censured by the U.N.'s atomic watchdog for not complying with obligations meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon. Countries in the region condemned Israel's attack, while leaders around the globe called for immediate deescalation from both sides. The U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting Friday afternoon at Iran's request. In a letter to the council, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the killing of its officials and scientists 'state terrorism" and affirmed his country's right to self-defense. Israel's military said about 200 aircraft were involved in the initial attack on about 100 targets. Its Mossad spy agency positioned explosive drones and precision weapons inside Iran ahead of time, and used them to target Iranian air defenses and missile launchers near Tehran, according to two security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. It was not possible to independently confirm the officials' claims. Among the key sites Israel attacked was Iran's main nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz, where black smoke could be seen rising into the air. It also appeared to strike a second, smaller nuclear enrichment facility in Fordo, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) southeast of Tehran, according to an Iranian news outlet close to the government that reported hearing explosions nearby. Israel said it struck a nuclear research facility in Isfahan, too, and said it destroyed dozens of radar installations and surface-to-air missile launchers in western Iran. Iran confirmed the strike at Isfahan. Israel military spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said the Natanz facility was 'significantly damaged' and that the operation was 'still in the beginning.' U.N. nuclear chief Rafael Grossi told the Security Council that the above-ground section of the Natanz facility was destroyed. He said all the electrical infrastructure and emergency power generators were destroyed, as well as a section of the facility where uranium was enriched up to 60%. The main centrifuge facility underground did not appear to have been hit, but the loss of power could have damaged the infrastructure there, he said. The first wave of strikes had given Israel 'significant freedom of movement' in Iran's skies, clearing the way for further attacks, according to an Israeli military official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the attack with the media. The official said Israel is prepared for an operation that could last up to two weeks, but that there was no firm timeline. Among those killed were three of Iran's top military leaders: one who oversaw the entire armed forces, Gen. Mohammad Bagheri; one who led the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, Gen. Hossein Salami; and the head of the Guard's ballistic missile program, Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh. Iran confirmed all three deaths, significant blows its governing theocracy that will complicate efforts to retaliate. Khamenei said other top military officials and scientists were also killed. Netanyahu said the attack had been months in the making. In a video statement sent to journalists Friday, he said he ordered plans for the attack last November, soon after the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, one of Iran's strongest proxies. Netanyahu said the attack was planned for April but was postponed. In its first response Friday, Iran fired more than 100 drones at Israel. Israel said the drones were being intercepted outside its airspace, and it was not immediately clear whether any got through. Israel's military said it called up reservists and began stationing troops throughout the country as it braced for further retaliation from Iran or Iranian proxy groups. Trump urged Iran on Friday to reach a deal with the U.S. on its nuclear program, warning on his Truth Social platform that Israel's attacks 'will only get worse.' 'Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire,' he wrote. On Wednesday, the U.S. pulled some American diplomats from Iraq's capital and offered voluntary evacuations for the families of U.S. troops in the wider Middle East. On Friday, the U.S. began shifting military resources in the region, including ships, as Israel prepared for more retaliation, two U.S. officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Officials in Washington had cautioned Israel against an attack earlier in the week, so as not to disrupt U.S. negotiations with Iran over its nuclear enrichment program. They stressed Friday that the U.S. had not been involved in the attack, and warned against any retaliation targeting U.S. interests or personnel. Israeli leaders cast the attack as necessary to head off an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs, though it remains unclear how close the country is to achieving that or whether Iran had actually been planning a strike. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for civilian purposes only. "This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival,' Mr. Netanyahu claimed as he vowed to pursue the attack for as long as necessary to 'remove this threat.' Israel is widely believed to be the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East but has never acknowledged having such weapons.

As I type this from Israel, it's abundantly clear they are in a fight for their very survival as a nation." The closure of Ben-Gurion Airport has left many travelers, including Jenner and Jennings, unable to depart Israel. The airport's official website posted a notice advising against traveling to the airport due to the cancellation of all flights amid the security situation.
