Diddy's ex, 'Jane,' is now his 2nd accuser to describe being sex-trafficked by violence
"Is this coercion?" Combs' ex said he asked her after leaving her covered with bruises last June.
Combs' 2nd sex-trafficking accuser, "Jane" told a jury he then forced her to have sex with an escort.
"Take this fucking pill," she said he demanded. "You're not going to ruin my fucking night."
Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex told a federal jury Monday that the mogul once covered her face in bruises before posing a taunting question: "Is this coercion?"
The rap mogul then demanded she put on makeup, pop an ecstasy pill, and have sex with a male escort, the woman, "Jane," testified, describing a June 2024 dinner date at her Los Angeles home.
"Take this fucking pill. You're not going to ruin my fucking night," Jane, who is testifying under a pseudonym, said Combs demanded as she screamed, "I don't want to! I don't want to!"
Through this harrowing testimony, Jane became the second of Combs' ex-girlfriends, after R&B star Cassie Ventura, to take the stand at his Manhattan trial and describe being sex trafficked through coercive violence.
"He just looked at me, right in my face," from an inch away, his voice "forceful," Jane said, when lead prosecutor Maurene Comey asked her to describe how Combs appeared and sounded when he asked her, "Is this coercion?"
It was the third day of testimony for Jane, who described herself as an OnlyFans lingerie model and the single mother of a child fathered by one of Combs' rap world rivals. She dated Combs between 2021 and 2024.
Jane told the jury Monday that while she took the ecstasy pill on that violent night, she did not answer Combs' question about coercion.
Instead, only three months later, federal prosecutors would answer the question for her.
Combs would be indicted in September 2024 on racketeering and sex trafficking.
Both Ventura and Jane were sex trafficked by means of Combs' false promises, violence, and coercion, according to the indictment. The legal definition of coercion includes any scheme or pattern that causes someone to fear serious harm.
Defense lawyers argue that there was no coercion because the sex was consensual. They say that this is borne out by years of texts and emails in which Ventura and Jane display enthusiasm for these drug-fueled nights of sex with as many as three men, plus Combs himself.
The racketeering allegations against Combs include bribery and witness tampering, and here Jane's testimony from Monday could also help prosecutors.
Jane told the jury that in the days after Ventura filed her explosive November 2023 lawsuit, Combs threatened to send her sex tapes to the father of her child, offered her cash, and pleaded, "I need your friendship."
"Charge me. Charge me, so we can just move on," Jane testified that a desperate-sounding Combs told her during a FaceTime call.
"He was wanting me to come up with some sort of number," Jane told the jury, describing what she called a rejected offer to pay for her silence.
The Ventura lawsuit quickly upended Combs' life and his multimillion-dollar music and lifestyle empire.
In it, Ventura accused Combs of forcing her to have sex with male escorts while he watched, masturbated, and filmed. These so-called "freak off" performances involved heavy drug use and lasted for days, Ventura said in the suit, previewing her own testimony at the start of the trial.
The lawsuit, which settled the next day for $20 million, was the catalyst for dozens of similar lawsuits and for the indictment itself.
"I just reacted, like, I can't believe I'm reading my own story," Jane told the jury Monday, tearfully describing her reaction to reading Ventura's lawsuit for the first time.
"I almost fainted," she told the jury. "In fact, I think I did."
Combs' reaction to the lawsuit was more extreme than Jane's own, veering, in her description to the jury, from anger to accusation to fear.
Before Ventura's lawsuit, Combs would react with scolding denials when she told him she wanted to stop what she called "hotel nights" and to enjoy romantic dinners and trips instead.
"You're tripping," he would tell her, according to the texts shown in court. "Please, woman," and "You're fucking crazy," he'd tell her. "So, we're breaking up?" he'd threaten.
But in the days after the Ventura lawsuit, Jane couldn't bring up "hotel nights" without Combs asking if she was out to get him.
"You trying to set me up?" he asked her in one November 2024 phone call that was recorded by Combs, later recovered from the phone of his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, and played Monday for the jury.
"You recording my phone calls?" he demanded. Jane testified she was not — and that she had no idea that Combs was the one making a recording.
In one of two recorded calls, Combs attempted to spin their nights together as "Just some kinky shit that I thought that we, you know, we both enjoyed."
When Jane answers, "I just want you to know that's not how I saw things," Combs asks again, "Are you recording me?"
Jane's cross-examination is set to begin on Tuesday and may last through Thursday.

Diddy Allegedly Continued 'Freak-Offs' After Homeland Security Raided His Homes
It would be difficult to imagine Diddy digging himself in a deeper hole given all that has come out these last few years, especially in his current sex trafficking trial. However, an anonymous testimony claims that the 55-year-old artist continued hosting 'freak-offs' even after Homeland Security raided his homes. An unnamed witness, who went by the name Jane, told the court that she participated in the group activity with male sex workers in May, July, and August 2024. This would mean that the controversial mogul continued hosting these events, despite his life being under a microscope following his Los Angeles and Miami homes being raided in March 2024. Jane also claimed that she was in a relationship with the Bad Boy co-founder until he was arrested for racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking in September 2024. Time will tell how this testimony affects the trial, but Puff and his legal team have been working tirelessly to get a mistrial ruling. Diddy and his attorneys have accused the prosecution of 'prosecutorial misconduct' for presenting evidence to the court that they know is false. 'In this trial the government has presented testimony that it knew or should have known was materially false related to its allegation that Mr. Combs dangled Bryana Bongolan from the balcony of Cassie Ventura's apartment in September 2016,' his defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro wrote to Judge Arun Subramanian. 'Accordingly, to avoid an unfair conviction in this case the Court should grant a mistrial […] The government knew or should have known this testimony was perjured, and that Ms. Bongolan could not possibly have been injured by Mr. Combs on a Los Angeles balcony in the early morning hours of September 26, or even the day before that.' She also cited the dates he stayed at Trump Hotel in New York in 2016, and how he then couldn't have been elsewhere to dangle Cassie's designer over a balcony, as he has been accused of. Judge Subramanian has yet to give a decision on the mistrial motion, and is reportedly expected to do so on Tuesday (June 10). This marks the 'Last Night' artist's third attempt to be granted a mistrial, which have all been unsuccessful, much like his attempts to get bail in the fall of 2024.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A former middle school principal now facing serious child sex abuse charges in Missouri once worked for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. According to law enforcement and legal representatives, Cedric Gerald, 48, who most recently served as a principal at Westview Middle School in the Riverview Gardens School District in St. Louis County, has been charged with multiple crimes, including sexual trafficking of a child, sexual exploitation of a minor, and possession of child pornography.

Diddy Called Her 'Crack Pipe' — Then She Suggested He Go to Rehab, Ex Testifies
Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial continues after the judge struck down the defense's motion for mistrial One of his former girlfriends says she wanted him to get help towards the end of their relationship Jane, who is testifying under a pseudonym, was in a relationship with Diddy until his arrest last yearSean "Diddy" Combs' girlfriend asked him to seek help in rehab towards the end of their relationship, she told the jury at the music mogul's trial. The witness, who is testifying under the pseudonym "Jane," elaborated in court Combs' alleged relationship with drugs as she went under cross-examination on Tuesday, June 10. Jurors heard a voice note that Combs sent to Jane around March 2023, shortly after they returned from a trip to Turks and Caicos. 'You are the crack pipe. That's my new name for you: crack pipe," he said in the voice note. "Call you CP." Combs seemed unwell towards the end of their relationship, prompting her to suggest rehab, Jane told the jury. 'I felt he was developing jaundice,' she said. 'His gums were gray, probably from drug use,' Jane continued. 'I felt that his hands were shaky probably from over-consuming alcohol.' When she suggested he go to rehab, Combs responded: 'What the hell, you think I need rehab?' This wasn't the first mention of drugs in the trial. During her testimony last week, Jane alleged Combs made her transport drugs across state lines on at least two occasions, and she was able to do so with advice from his former chief of staff Kristina Khorram. Jane has also alleged Combs often gave her drugs such as ecstasy to get her prepared for "Hotel Nights," days-long sex sessions where she was allegedly forced to engage with other men, she told the court. Combs has not been charged with any drug-related offenses. Jane's testimony rings remarkably similar to several claims by Combs' other former girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, the prosecution's star witness. Similar to Jane, Ventura also alleged Combs forced her to engage in sexual encounters with men, often for days on end — though in her case, they were allegedly called "Freak Offs." Combs has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution; he has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
