An ex-girlfriend of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sobbed while giving her distressing testimony this week.

On Friday (June 6), the woman testified using the pseudonym ‘Jane’ for a second day in the hip-hop mogul’s sex trafficking trial.

Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to running his business empire as a racketeering enterprise that enabled and concealed the abuse of women over two decades. If convicted, he faces a sentence of 15 years to life imprisonment.

Jane recalled their alleged drug-fuelled sex marathons, and claimed that the rapper ignored her when she signalled that she wanted to stop and scolded her for crying after one of the encounters.

Apparently, she gave Combs ‘subtle cues’ about wanting to stop engaging in sex acts with male sex workers while he watched, including telling him she was tired or hungry or making gestures and facial expressions indicating she did not want to continue.

But, she claimed, Combs would tell her to keep going and ‘finish strong’.

Asked by a prosecutor why she did not tell him directly that she wanted to stop, Jane said ‘I just, I don’t know’ as she cried loudly.

Elsewhere, she testified that she had a so-called ‘love contract’ with the music mogul where Combs agreed to pay her a $10,000 a month allowance for two years, BBC News reports. But, should Jane try and resist the rapper’s notorious ‘hotel nights’, he would supposedly hold the money over her head.

In one reported instance, Jane was supposed to be attending a party that Combs was ‘hyped’ about but she fell unwell beforehand.

In text messages shown in court, Jane showed pictures to prove she was sick but the messages she received back from Combs made her feel as if he was threatening to cut her off financially.

It’s believed that the pair ended their relationship last year. When they were nearing the end of their romance, Combs said he wasn’t aware that the hotel night encounters upset her and insisted that Jane hadn’t mentioned it.

However, text threads dating back to 2021 showed that Jane said to him: “I need a breather and a break from you. This doesn’t make me feel good at all, your intentions are in plain sight.”

Jane said she was also physically affected by the ‘hotel nights’ and told the court that she frequently contracted infections and felt pelvic pain ‘100 percent of the time’.

Diddy’s mother has spoken out in defense of her son as he faces a slew of sexual abuse and trafficking allegations.

Janice Combs, Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s mother, issued a statement on Sunday defending her son against his many allegations.

The hip-hop mogul was indicted by federal prosecutors in mid-September on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, and has since been denied bail twice. He has repeatedly denied all the charges levied against him.

The 54-year-old could have as many as 120 people filing against him, according to attorney Tony Buzbee. They are all planning to take legal action against Diddy, and with allegations ranging from exploitation to sexual abuse, the lawsuit is mounting.

Buzbee shared that he is intending to file lawsuits against the rapper within the next 30 days from both men and women, with ages between 9 and 38 – including a 15-year-old girl who was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted in Diddy’s presence.

Now, Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, has released a statement through attorney Natlie G. Figgers.

Obtained by the Hollywood Reporter on October 6, she said: “My son is not the monster they have painted him to be, and he deserves the chance to tell his side.

“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies.

“To bear witness [to] what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”

She went on to acknowledge that ‘he has made mistakes in his past’, referencing her son reaching a settlement with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura after shocking hotel CCTV footage from 2016 showed him assaulting her.

“My son may not have been entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has ever gotten violent with an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance showed otherwise,” she said.

“Sometimes, the truth and a lie become so closely intertwined that it becomes terrifying to admit one part of the story, especially when that truth is outside the norm or is too complicated to be believed.”

Diddy’s attorneys have also issued a statement to UNILAD and reiterated they are looking forward to addressing all the claims against the rapper in court.

The statement read: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.

”That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.

”He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

Diddy’s lawyer has quit less than three months before the disgraced rapper’s trial takes place.

Anthony Ricco has decided to step down from Diddy’s, real name Sean Combs, legal team as he released a shocking statement.

In the motion for withdrawing as a representative for the 55-year-old, the filing dated yesterday (February 20) read in part: “On September 22, 2024, I was retained by the defendant, Sean Combs, to serve as his counsel, and I have served as his counsel since that time.”

It went on: “For the reasons set forth below, this motion for withdrawal is filed so that Sean Combs may move forward with his defense and to commence jury selection and trial without any delay.”

Listing why he should be relived, Ricco explains that the move has come following a discussion with Combs’ lead counsel Mark Agnifilo, they agreed he should withdraw.

Adding: “While I am aware that the Local Rule requires that an application for withdrawal of counsel is supported and granted ‘only upon a showing by affidavit or otherwise of satisfactory reasons for withdrawal,’ there are sufficient reasons (related to the protections afforded by the attorney/client privilege) for brevity in my application for withdrawal as counsel in this case.

“Although I have provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs, consistent with the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice.

“This motion for withdrawal of counsel, if granted, will not result in a delay of the present schedule for the commencement of jury selection and trial, or the present schedules for briefing of pre- trial legal issues. As a result, there will be no lapse in representation, as Sean Combs will continue to be represented by five other attorneys of record.”

It comes as Diddy was indicted by a grand jury following his arrest at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan back in September.

Combs has been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, charges he’s continued to deny.

The indictment accuses Combs and others in his enterprise of ‘wield[ing] the power and prestige of Combs’ role at the Combs Business to intimidate, threaten and lure female victims into Combs’ orbit, often under the pretence of a romantic relationship’.

With the ‘assistance of members and associates’, the document claims Combs ‘transported commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally’ and ‘then used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers that Combs referred to as, among other things, ‘freak offs’.’

Combs remains in jail as he awaits trial – due to take place on May 5.

Former acquaintances of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have shed light on his infamous ‘white parties’ where women were ‘laid out’ to act as tables for guests.

Insights to Combs’ parties have come to light in the new documentary The Fall of Diddy, in which former friends, employees and companions of the rapper have spoken out about their experiences and the numerous allegations that have come to light against Combs throughout his decades-long career.

Rob Shuter, who worked as a publicist for Combs between 2003-2005, described how the musician was considered a ‘king’ in New York once he rose to fame.

“He was so much fun, he threw the best parties,” Shutter said, recalling how celebrities would ‘let their hair down’ at the events.

Shuter told the BBC: “When Diddy winked at you and said come into the VIP section, you knew you were going to have a really good night.”

Danyel Smith, who crossed paths with Combs when she worked as the former editor of Vibe magazine, described the parties as ‘Gatsby-esque’, saying he threw a bash on the same level seen ‘in the movies‘.

“They were huge,” she said.

However, journalist Mara S. Campo recalled details emerging from the parties at the time they were taking place, including the claim there was ‘a lot of debauchery’.

She continued: “Puffy would have women laid out and have food on their bodies. These are things that were photographed and publicized and just viewed as kind of grand and opulent.”

Images featured in the documentary show guests stood over tables with women lying on their backs, with food placed across their bodies for attendees to pick at.

B. Scott, a social media personality who was working as a blogger in the period of Combs’ infamous parties, recalled hearing about ‘sexual escapades’ from the events, but they claimed they ‘wouldn’t run certain things’ on their blog because they feared ‘retribution’.

“He felt and seemed like he was invincible,” Scott said.
