NEED TO KNOW
The second woman who prosecutors have said was sex trafficked by Sean “Diddy” Combs resumed her testimony at his trial on Friday, June 6, telling jurors that when she told him she was getting tired during drug-fueled marathon sex sessions with male escorts, he would tell her, “You’re not getting tired on me, are you?”
The woman, using the pseudonym “Jane,” testified that Combs would also tell her, “Let’s finish strong,” and would supply her with Ecstasy that would help her stay awake during the encounters — some of which, she said, lasted more than 24 hours and could go on for multiple “rounds.” She said the longest one lasted three or three and a half days.
Asked by Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey who decided when an encounter would end, Jane, appearing visibly emotional, responded, “Sean.”
Jane said Combs called the encounters “debauchery” or “hotel nights,” and would masturbate during them. Those encounters closely resemble what his former girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura testified that the music mogul would call “freak offs.” Both women said they would try to rush through the encounters to get them over with. Jane said she performed the hotel nights for the time she would have alone with Combs afterward. Prosecutors have said Combs used threats and violence against both women to force them to participate in the encounters.

Jane testified that the male escorts Combs would hire to have sex with her would ejaculate on her body, at his request, and that after that, she and Combs would have sex. After hotel nights were over, she said she and Combs would go to his house, where she would cook for him, give him massages, make sure he showered and put on his favorite television show.
Jane, a single mother, said she made money as an influencer on social media when she met Combs and that she grew financially dependent on Combs as their relationship progressed. She said she agreed to participate in a hotel night for the first time in May 2021, believing it would be a one-time thing — but that it grew to dominate their relationship.
“It was just a door that I was unable to shut for the remainder of the relationship,” she testified Thursday.
Jane said she dated Combs from 2021 until September, when he was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, which he has pleaded not guilty to.
