Jane testified that during multiple 'hotel nights,' she asked Diddy if the men he instructed her to sleep with could use condoms. According to her, he typically brushed off the request.
One such incident was captured on video, which recorded a conversation between Jane, Combs, and a man named Don. In the footage, Jane could be heard asking Don to use protection - until Combs stepped in, clearly disapproving of the idea.
During questioning by prosecutor Maurene Comey, Jane was asked why she felt the need to get Combs' permission for condom use. Her voice wavered as she replied that she was 'still trying to process' that reality.
She explained that she didn't push the issue, because upsetting Combs wasn't an option. 'Unhappy,' she said, is how he would be if she insisted.
When asked why there was a recording of the night, Jane responded: 'Because Sean liked recording me and the entertainers.'
In her testimony, Jane recounted a trip she took to Las Vegas with Diddy sometime in 2023. According to her, she traveled aboard Combs' private jet, and the pair spent what she described as a 'hotel night' together.
During the proceedings, Jane confirmed that she had sexual relations with an 'entertainer.' She elaborated on this term during her testimony, explaining that 'entertainers' referred to various men she was instructed to sleep with at Combs' request.
Jane also revealed the language Combs would use when referring to her. She testified that he often called her a 'freak,' using phrases like 'he wants his freak.' When asked what that meant, Jane explained it was his way of telling her he expected her to be 'wild and sexual.'
Diddy's ex-girlfriend 'Jane' - who is using a psudonym to protect her identity - is back on the stand.
Her testimony with the prosecution will now resume.
Diddy's ex-girlfriend 'Jane' appeared in the witness box for the first time on Thursday. The beginning of her testimony came after that of Cassie Ventura's friend Bryana Bongolan, who invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to self-incriminate.
Bongolan was cross-examined by the defense over her claims Diddy dangled her over a balcony for around 15 seconds. She previously told the court that she still has nightmares from the incident and is seeking $10million in her lawsuit against Diddy. Bongolan had also claimed that Diddy gave her drugs a few times.
When asked by the defense if she was lying, Bongolan insisted she testified truthfully during the case and said she acknowledged she didn't recall every detail. However, in the closing the redirect examination, she said she had "no doubt" that Diddy held her over the balcony.
Prior to Jane's appearance on the stand, Judge Arun Subramanian reprimanded Diddy for attempting to interact with the jury. 'I could not have been any clearer in terms of what I said,' the judge told him. 'Well, there was a line of questioning when your client was nodding vigorously and looking at the jury." He was assured the behaviour wouldn't continue.
Jane then took to the witness stand, claiming she was "head over heels" with Combs and that they were in an open relationship until his arrest. She told the court that Combs paid her rent, but suggested that he would stop if they split.

Grooming gangs national inquiry demands grow as Tories force vote on new probe into ‘disgusting' crimes
LABOUR MPs will be put under pressure as Tories force a vote on holding a national grooming gangs inquiry. The Conservatives are tabling an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill which calls for a statutory inquiry into the scandal later this month. 3 3 They say Labour's plan for five local inquiries is inadequate because the scale of abuse was much wider. And they do not have the power to summon witnesses and requisition evidence. It will put Labour MPs in a tricky position as some have gone against the party to call for a national inquiry. And it could trigger a Red Wall rebellion. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'We now know that these disgusting crimes were deliberately covered up by the police and local authorities simply because the majority of the perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage. 3 "The young girls - some as young as 12 - had their lives ruined. 'The cover-up has to end and those who hid these crimes held to account. 'It is disgraceful that not a single person has been punished for the cover-up. 'Every decent Labour MP who cares about this should vote for our amendment in Parliament.'

'Jane' gives tearful testimony about 'hotel nights' at Diddy's direction
A former girlfriend of Diddy's going by the pseudonym 'Jane' wept on the witness stand today as she described drug-induced sexual encounters with male escorts while she traveled the world with the music mogul. The marathon sex sessions, described by her as 'hotel nights' and similar to 'freak offs,' were organized at Diddy's direction, could last multiple days, and involved drugs and baby oil, she said. Through tears, she testified that she didn't know why she couldn't outright tell Diddy to stop and that he would give her 'multiple doses' of ecstasy per night to keep her awake. On her birthday in Miami in 2023, she testified, she had sex with multiple men as Diddy watched. Jane previously testified that Diddy was paying her rent and reiterated today that he continues to. She is one of four accusers referred to in the government's indictment that alleges Diddy ran his business empire as a criminal enterprise and exploited the women through his financial support. 'It's true that at any moment he could just do that if he wanted to,' Jane testified, 'cut me off.' 🔎 The view from inside By Adam Reiss and Jing Feng Diddy sat with his hands clasped in front of him as Jane testified, while attorneys for both the prosecution and defense appeared riveted by her on the stand. Diddy's demeanor is in the spotlight after Judge Arun Subramanian yesterday scolded his defense team for allowing him to make facial expressions toward the jury. Subramanian said it was 'absolutely unacceptable' and warned that if it happens again, he may remove Diddy from the courtroom. In other news: An attorney for Jane complained to Subramanian that media outlets are trying to expose her identity. The attorney accused the outlets of livestreaming and posting related articles, and asked the court to 'stop these attempts to violate the court's order' not to name her. The judge said he would consider issuing a media gag order if someone is found to have violated the rules. Next week: Jane is expected to return for more questioning by the prosecution before the defense begins its cross-examination.
