Diddy calls his ex a ‘crack pipe' in audio released in rapper's sex trafficking trial

Fox Newsa day ago

Audio released in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial features the rapper calling his ex-girlfriend a "crack pipe."
Diddy sent the audio message to his ex-girlfriend, who testified under the pseudonym Jane, after a "hotel night." Jane claimed she was forced to continue having sex with multiple male escorts after becoming sick.
"Hey, baby, we had a great time, stay in the light. It's all good, get your rest," Diddy can be heard saying in the audio message. "You are the crack pipe. That's my new name for you, crack pipe, or should I call you CP? But yeah, I want you to stay in the light. You know what I'm saying? We had a very, very good time together. Like so much, so much so much so much f---ing fun, so much f---ing fun."
"Now go rest up, get in your bag," he added. "You know what I'm saying, you got your contract, find a nice little spot, put your mind at ease and yeah, I had a great time and I really, really want you to get some rest. I didn't know about you throwing up and all that. That's when I was like, hold up a second. All right, get some rest baby, love."
LISTEN: JURY HEARS AUDIO MESSAGE DIDDY SENT TO HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND
The jury was also shown photo evidence of damage allegedly done by Diddy to Jane's home.
Multiple photos were entered as evidence of the master bedroom door, the master bathroom door and a guest bedroom door of Jane's home. Jane testified that Diddy kicked the doors "literally off the hinges" during an altercation that occurred after she confronted the rapper about another woman.
"I just – I was making an assumption that he was with another woman, and it just had really angered me, I think at this point in our relationship," she told the court Monday. "I just was bottling up a lot of resentment and anger towards him." Jane called Diddy a "pedophile" during the confrontation because the age gap between him and this other woman "rubbed [her] the wrong way."
Jane felt the fight escalated after she pushed Diddy's head into a marble countertop and threw candles towards the rapper. According to Jane, she did not strike Combs with any glass. The rapper allegedly followed her into the master bedroom, bathroom and closet before she attempted to run for the front door.
"Sean kicked me from the back of my thigh, and then I fell down on my butt," Jane testified. "And then he picked me up in a chokehold and choked me." Jane claimed she ran about six blocks away from the home and waited for approximately two hours before returning. Once home, the fight between her and Diddy continued. As the fight turned physical, Jane recalled Diddy punching her twice. She ran into the backyard and laid down in the grass, covering her face, head and body with her hands. Diddy allegedly punched and kicked her "several times" while in this position before he dragged her back into the home.
Jane said she "just kept saying, 'Leave me the f--- alone. Leave me the f--- alone. Just leave. Just leave.'" She added: "And I just kept saying that I hated him."
Jane recalled getting into the shower to clean off. At this point, Diddy allegedly slapped her until she lost her balance and fell over.
Jane told jurors Wednesday that the rapper wanted one more "sobriety party" before he pursued rehab, which she had suggested. Jane claimed there were three entertainers at the party, and she allegedly did not take any drugs. She testified that while she agreed to the party, she also resented Diddy "for knowing how much I loved him and knowing how I couldn't say no to him."
When asked what drugs Diddy used during the "sobriety party," Jane replied, "I believe ecstasy. And cocaine. I don't know." She also alleged the party lasted "too long," claiming it was "close to 12 to 18 hours."
Diddy's ex testified Tuesday that she broached the subject of rehab for the "I Need A Girl" rapper after allegedly witnessing him "overdoing the partying."
Jane's cross-examination began Tuesday by Diddy's criminal defense lawyer, Teny Geragos. She questioned Jane about her relationship with the rapper and her participation in the allegedly forced "hotel nights."
The cross-examination became heated when Geragos began questioning Jane about the money he spent on her and gifts she received from the rapper.
Texts to Diddy from Jane about the "Last Night" rapper buying purses for another woman were brought up in court. Geragos commented that Jane also received a bag of her own.

"No, I only got trauma … after three-and-a-half years, I really don't think I garnered anything," Jane told the court. Geragos pressed, "How much do Bottega bags cost?" to which Jane replied, "How much does my body cost?" before asking the court for a break from testimony. When court resumed, Jane apologized to Geragos.

Here's What Federal Troops Can (and Can't) Do While Deployed in LA

Jun 13, 2025 9:48 AM Pentagon rules sharply limit US Marines and National Guard activity in Los Angeles, prohibiting arrests, surveillance, and other customary police work. Marine recruits march during a training exercise at Camp Pendleton, California. Photograph: Michael Macor/AP Photo For the first time in decades, active-duty US Marines are rolling into Los Angeles—not for disaster relief or training drills, but to guard federal buildings during a protest crackdown that legal experts say threatens long-standing limits on military power at home. The deployment, announced by President Donald Trump on Monday, involves more than 700 Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Regiment of the 1st Marine Division, based at Camp Pendleton and Twentynine Palms. Mobilized under Title 10 orders, the Marines have been commanded to protect federal property and personnel from mounting protests over aggressive immigration raids and neighborhood sweeps. It is a rare and forceful use of federal military power on US soil. The mobilization follows Trump's June 7 order that federalized as many as 4,000 California national guardsmen, overriding the objections of state officials and igniting a national debate over the constitutional limits of his authority and igniting a high-stakes legal fight. A US district judge on Thursday ordered Trump to return control of the guardsmen to the state of California, saying the takeover was unlawful, only likely to inflame tensions in the city, and had deprived the state of resources necessary 'to fight fires, combat the fentanyl trade, and perform other critical functions.' The injunction was quickly stayed, however, by a federal appeals court, pending a hearing next week. Protests began Friday in Westlake, an immigrant-heavy neighborhood near downtown LA, where residents rallied in response to sweeping ICE raids that targeted day laborers outside local businesses. Demonstrators marched, held signs, and chanted for several hours before tensions escalated after police declared an unlawful assembly and advanced on the crowd. LAPD officers and federal agents deployed a range of crowd control weapons, including batons, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash-bang grenades. Reports from journalists and observers describe nonviolent protesters—and members of the press—being struck by rubber bullets and stun devices during the crackdown. Widespread protests are expected in LA and at some 2,000 other locations around the US this weekend. While the president holds broad emergency powers, legal scholars say that without invoking the Insurrection Act—a statute that permits domestic troop deployments only in cases of a rebellion or civil rights violations—federal law sharply limits what active-duty forces can do. Marines may not act as a posse comitatus , or function as law enforcement. They're barred from arrests, surveillance, and crowd control, and may only support police in narrowly defined ways, according to Defense Department rules. Pentagon directives governing 'civil disturbance operations' reinforce these limits. Federal troops are prohibited from arresting civilians, searching property, and collecting evidence. They may not conduct surveillance of US persons. That includes not just individuals but vehicles, locations, and 'transactions.' They may not serve as undercover agents, informants, or interrogators. Unless a crime is committed by a service member or on military property, Title 10 forces are likewise banned from engaging in any kind of forensics for the benefit of civilian police—unless they are willing to put in writing that such evidence was obtained by consent. That said, there are numerous scenarios in which the military can provide assistance to police, including by giving them 'information' obtained 'in the normal course' of their duties, unless applicable privacy laws prohibit it. Military members can also provide police with a wide variety of assistance so long as it's in a 'private capacity' and they're off duty. Additionally, they can provide 'expert advice,' so long as it doesn't count as serving a function core to civilian police work. The Department of Defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment; however, a staff member in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy confirmed for WIRED by phone the current set of policies under which deployed federal troops must operate. There is one major caveat to the military's restrictions. During an 'extraordinary emergency,' military commanders may take limited, immediate action to prevent massive destruction or to restore critical public services, but only so long as presidential approval is 'impossible' to obtain in advance. And while military personnel are naturally expected to maintain order and discipline at all times, under no circumstances are they required to stand down when their lives, or the lives of others, are in immediate danger. Still, enforcement of these rules in the field is far from guaranteed. Legal experts warn that adherence often varies in chaotic environments. Trump administration officials have also demonstrated a willingness to skirt the law. Last week, homeland security secretary Kristi Noem asked the Pentagon to authorize military assistance in conducting arrests and to deploy drone surveillance, according to a letter obtained by The San Francisco Chronicle—a move experts say directly contradicts standing legal prohibitions. At a press conference on Thursday, Noem stated the federal government was on a mission to 'liberate' Los Angeles from 'socialists' and the 'leadership' of California governor Gavin Newsom and LA mayor Karen Bass. US Senator Alex Padilla, who represents the citizens of California, was forcibly removed from the press conference after attempting to question Noem. Outside the press conference room, federal agents forced the senator to the ground, where he was temporarily placed in handcuffs. Unlike the National Guard, which is well trained for domestic crowd control, active-duty Marines generally receive relatively little instruction in handling civil unrest. Those who do typically belong to military police or specialized security units. Nonetheless, the Marine Corps has published footage online showing various task forces training with riot-control tactics and 'nonlethal' weapons. Constitutional concerns do not arise, however, when Marines face off against foreign mobs—such as in civilian zones during the Afghanistan war or on the rare occasion protesters breach the perimeter of a US embassy. And wartime rules of engagement are far more lenient than the rules of force by which Marines must adhere domestically. In a statement on Wednesday, US Northern Command, which oversees military support to nonmilitary authorities in the contiguous 48 states, confirmed the Marines had undergone training in all 'mission essential tasks,' including 'de-escalation' and 'crowd control.' They will reportedly be accompanied by legal and law enforcement experts. Constitutional experts warn that deploying military forces against civilian demonstrators blurs the line between law enforcement and military power, potentially setting a dangerous precedent for unchecked presidential authority. The risk deepens, they say, if federal troops overstep their legal bounds. If lines are crossed, it could open a door that may not close easily—clearing the way for future crackdowns that erode Americans' hard-won civil liberties.

LEGO Isn't Only Treating Star Wars Fans, Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle Set Drops to New Record Low Price

Build this lovely set up piece-by-piece and then just enjoy it as a set-piece for $144. If you're looking for a gift to get someone who loves Harry Potter, then you're probably staring at a long list of options, all of them feeling a little bit overwhelming. There are plenty of things to choose from, sure, but how many of them will be really special? Well, the answer to this conundrum, and plenty of other ones, is Lego. See at Amazon That's because you can currently grab the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set with 15% off. This thing is an absolute beauty once it's all put together, and it's sure to offer plenty of joy to any fan you manage to get it for. Yes, that includes yourself if you're just looking for an excuse to get a little treat. Your Letter Is Here As with so many modern Lego sets, the aim here isn't really to play. The aim here is, instead, to spend a few really quality hours building it. You can do that alone, sure, but building it with a friend or some family can make for a really solid way to spend a few evenings and bond a little bit too. There's a lot of fun to be had meticulously putting together any Lego set, but especially when it's one as grandiose as this. That's just the first part of the fun though, the rest of the fun is a little bit more passive. You then get to have this on a shelf, mantlepiece, or even your desk if you've got enough space, and then just smile to yourself as you walk past it. It's worth noting you do need to actually build the 2,660 piece set first, and when we say it's going to be a few evenings, we mean if you're dedicated and putting some serious hours in. The end result is pretty massive too. It measures 21 cm high, 35 cm wide, and 25 cm deep, so you'll need a big enough place to actually display it. As long as you've got that though, you'll be able to enjoy the set for as long as you want to, and maybe even use it as the start of a collection that'll last you for years to come. That's a lot of happiness out of just one thing, and given that it's down to $144 for a limited time, that's all the more reason to treat yourself for once. There's no telling when this set will go on sale again, so don't miss out. See at Amazon

The World's Best IPA—According To The International Beer And Cider Awards

IPA subcategories dominated entries at the International Beer and Cider Awards this year. getty The best IPA gold medal winners in various IPA subcategories were recently announced at this year's International Beer and Cider Awards. In early June, judges tasted 1436 entries at this year's competition held in Idaho Falls. The competition divided IPAs into 10 categories that celebrate a diverse range of hop-forward beers ranging from English-style IPAs to experimental IPAs and the ever-popular hazy IPAs. As expected, breweries entered more IPAs in the category than other styles. 'IPA entries continue to dominate the competition,' Lisa Smith, vice president of the North American Brewers Association, which runs the competition, told me via email. As is standard for beer competitions, only three medals are awarded per category: gold, silver and bronze. Though the competition is open to breweries across the globe, American-made craft beers dominated the IPA category. West Coast breweries had a good showing but were not the only states represented, as can sometimes be the case with IPA categories at beer competitions. One thing I love about the International Beer and Cider Awards is the diversity of IPA offerings mentioned above. I remain a big fan of the IPA style overall, but even I grow tired of endless variations of hazy IPA offerings, though very few things in life beat a well-done one. The IPAs below vary in taste, style and appearance but were all deemed the best of the best in their respective categories. Prickly Pear Lewis & Clark Brewing Company Helena, MT Helper Beer, Mindset extra Pale ale Helper Beer Helper, Utah Citra Starburst, TapRoom Beer Co., San Diego, CA Punk Rock Time IPA, Baerlic Brewing Co., Portland, OR Wastelandia, Grains of Wrath Camas, WA Breakside Kyoto Soul, Breakside Brewery Milwaukie, Portland, OR Featherweight Light IPA, Mother Earth Brew Co., Nampa, Idaho Take Me to the River, Meanwhile Brewing Co., Austin, Texas Albumurky, Boxing Bear Brewing Co., Albuquerque, NM Fukiphino, Redrock Brewing, Salt Lake City, Utah Unfortunately, many of these IPA award winners are regional specialties. If you're interested in a particular IPA, however, you should contact the brewery and see if they ship their beer or have plans to distribute to an area near you. Most of these breweries are also located in wonderful places to visit, so it's a good excuse for a beer-centric trip. I'm also a big believer that the best IPA is often the one that's brewed closest to you. So if a certain sub-type of IPA appeals to you, tell the staff at your local brewery and see if they make anything like it or have recommendations for where you might find it nearby. As I've said before, the best IPAs I've had include award winning brews as well as obscure IPAs I've found fresh on draft in taprooms near my home.
