'Diddy was Michael Jordan': Basketball stars' names used for 'hotel night' pseudonyms Jane says
Jane has previously described her part in booking some of the male entertainers or escorts for Diddy's "hotel nights," and on occasion says she objected to having sex with certain men, including one who she said smelled.
Going through a list of escorts she used with Diddy, she agrees that Don was "handsome" with blue eyes and Paul was "really nice" with a "warm energy". She agrees that she had a great sexual experience with Paul.
She also says the names of Basketball stars were used as "hotel night" nicknames, calling herself Kobe Bryant, Paul was dubbed Shaq after Shaquille O'Neal, and Diddy was called Michael Jordan. She says their collective nickname was the Trifecta, again after the three basketball stars.
Jane describes recruiting escorts called Cabral and Anton after watching them on the pornographic website Blacked and contacting them via Instagram.
Jane told us yesterday that Cabral later attempted to blackmail her and Diddy over a video which was shot on his phone during a "hotel night" showing him having sex with her.

Jane says she transported drugs for Diddy multiple times
Jane says she carried drugs twice for Diddy, and contacted his chief of staff at the time, Kristina Khorram, about how she should pack it in her luggage.
While she says she was close to Khorram, she resented the fact that Khorram was always with Diddy, adding: "It was difficult for our relationship. I believe that she had very strong feelings about me which influenced a great deal with how Sean treated me."

'F*** it Friday' was a chance to 'party really hard,' Jane says
Discussing their use of drugs together, Jane says she took ecstasy to help her get through "hotel nights" and that Diddy would take it to put him in a good mood when he was "agitated and stressed from the day".
She describes a tradition they had called "F*** it Friday" which Jane says is "when he'd let loose and wants to party really hard".
Jane says the events would release "pressure from various things in his personal life," adding "we'd party big on Fridays".

'Diddy liked the word voyeurism, I used cuck,' Jane says - as she questions if he was 'bi-curious'
Discussing the swinger lifestyle central to Diddy's case, Jane agrees that he was driven by his desires while she was driven by her love for him.
In a bid to understand their relationship, Jane says she discovered the word "cuckold" which she describes as "a man being turned on by watching his woman have sex with another man".
Jane says the description was "spot on" and gave her a better understanding around Diddy's need for "hotel nights".
Jane says she was particularly keen to know what was driving Diddy, and to find a list of reasons.
She says one reason she could see was for him to "receive pleasure," adding, "some of the other things were that cucks could have bi-curiosity that they are too scared to do the act themselves".
When asked about voyeurism, Jane says: "He liked to use the word voyeurism, I would use the word cuck for myself."

Diddy's drug use led to greying gums and shaky hands, Jane says
Jane says she was aware of Diddy's drug habit, and that after just a few dates, she could see he was depressed and had shaky hands.
She says that when they were on the plane to the Turks and Caicos Islands, she could see he wasn't taking care of himself. Jane says: "I felt he had jaundice, and his gums were greying from drug use, and his hands were shaking from consuming alcohol."
Jane says she encouraged Diddy to go to rehab because he was "overdoing the partying".
Jane says that while she noticed "a strong pattern" during their relationship, she "wouldn't label it as a drug pattern".
She would now sum it up by saying Diddy was a "really big party guy", she adds.
Wanting Diddy to quit the drugs, she says he previously spoke about Ketamine therapy as a way to quit his Xanax habit.

Diddy told me he was polyamorous, Jane says
Jane confirms her relationship with Diddy began in late 2020, when she went with him to get drugs.
She says she had kept it secret from the father of her child because he did not have a good relationship with Diddy.
Jane says Diddy told her he was polyamorous towards the start of the relationship, and says she didn't mind, but admits that as the relationship developed and "emotions grew deeper" she found it hard, particularly when Diddy appeared to be in a monogamous relationship with another woman.
She agrees that his ability to easily shift his attentions to another girl hurt his feelings, and she wouldn't hold back in expressing her feelings.
Jane says: "I was very colourful. I would call her a hoe. I would use everything. I wanted him to be my man." She says Diddy was also jealous and possessive within the relationship.

Diddy nicknamed Jane 'crack pipe'
The court is played a voicemail in which Diddy says he nicknamed Jane "crack pipe" because he had so much fun with her during their trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands. When asked to clarify the nickname, Jane says: "He had an addiction… to my text."
Jane replies to Diddy's message, saying: "Crack pipe is so real for the both of us, it's definitely mutual. I just like everything you said. I am so thankful. I had so, so, so much fun, Turks was absolutely incredible, I am so happy."

Dissection of Diddy's financial support for Jane
Discussion moves on to financial matters, and Jane says before meeting Diddy she made around $50,000 as an influencer and claimed around $4,700 in child support. She says she also paid her own rent.
Jane says that over the course of her relationship with Diddy, he wired her around $150,000 and invested $20,000 in a dress line she launched.
When asked by Diddy's lawyer Teny Geragos if she "gravitates to providers," Jane says she finds successful men attractive, adding "my ideal partner is a partner and provider".
She says her lease on her home had begun in April 2023, and it had been important for her to "get something bigger" that was also up to Diddy's "taste level".
She says privacy also started to become an issue, and she thought that by having the house, they could carry out the "hotel nights" in the privacy of their own home.
Jane goes on to describe arguing with Diddy later in the relationship over him using his payment of her rent as "a tool" to control her by asking, "You need three months' rent?"
She says she talked back to him, and he later sent her $20,000 unsolicited, with which she bought really nice furniture.
In response, Jane sent a grateful text in which she called Diddy "baby", the court hears.
