One of Sean Combs' latest girlfriends takes the stand under a pseudonym.
On the stand, her name is Jane Doe, and she is about to tell the jurors about her relationship
with Sean Combs, with Diddy, up until his arrest.
So all of the previous witnesses that we've had, most of them, like Diddy and Cassie broke
up in 2018.
That's like seven years ago.
Same thing with Mia.
They stopped working together for a very long time.
I mean, it's been almost a decade.
With Jane, she has been there up until his arrest.
She was dating him November of 2023
when Cassie Ventura drops her lawsuit.
Then in 2024, I believe it was May, the CNN video drops.
Jane is actually in the room.
Jane is- CNN video is the hotel- Yes, the CNN video drops. Jane is actually in the room. Jane is-
CNN video is the hotel-
Yes, the intercontinental hotel video
of Sean Combs assaulting Cassie.
Jane is actually in Sean Combs' bed.
They're both asleep.
The sun's come knocking on the door
and they're like, you gotta come downstairs.
Something is happening.
They all go downstairs.
There's like a massive huddle.
Everybody is like, the energy is so tense.
Jane says she wants to throw up because
this is her first time watching the video as well. She's there. And then six months later,
September of 2024, Diddy goes to New York City, and this is when he gets arrested in New York City.
Jane is actually about to fly from LA to New York City to meet up with him. So clearly, there are
so many moments
that people are gonna wanna know more about
because what do you mean?
This is like one of his latest girlfriends.
She was with him up until his arrest.
But there's this one moment in court
where it just feels like the entire courtroom
kind of doesn't know how to respond
to the things that Jane is saying on the stand.
I mean, it's such a big part of the case since day one,
but nobody talks about this part on a deep level. It feels like a giant
elephant in the room. Which is, we know what Diddy has done, but why does Diddy
like to watch other men have intimate relations with his girlfriends? I mean so
much so that he clearly puts his girlfriends in emotionally tough
positions where it's alleged that they don't really consent to it,
that they're coerced into doing these things.
It's like a fixation that he has.
He needs to watch this happen
for days at a time, once a week.
This activity takes up like what?
15, 20% of his life?
If all the testimonies on the stand have been accurate?
I mean, the question of whether or not
all parties consented, whether or not this is legal, that's up to the 12 jurors to decide. But the question of why he's even into this is just
kind of always like lingering in the air. People talk about it in the hallways but everyone's like
I don't really know. I mean maybe it's like a kink I guess. Like it's just lingering. Even at the
hotel nights, Jane, so she doesn't call them freak-offs, he would call them hotel nights with her.
And then with other assistants, he started calling them king nights.
So there's different variations. Freak-offs, hotel nights, king nights.
Jane says that she would have to engage in certain conversations with the men that were invited.
Combs would be watching, and, you know, she's asked,
what are some examples of the things you would say in these rooms at hotel nights during these three years or three and a half years?
I would say a lot of cheating role play that there would be that Sean left town and I'm all alone with me and whoever and I'm sneaking in this entertainer and it's just me and this entertainer and I'm just fantasy talking about how Sean's on a plane and I couldn't wait to get this entertainer all alone to myself, etc.
Meanwhile, he's in the corner.
Yes, and one of the entertainers actually, well, many of them, they say that he's very distracting in the corner
because he's very loud with his self-pleasuring movements.
So she's like having all this fantasy roleplay talk while he's just like in the corner.
And when that's not happening, Jane says, even when they were not at the hotel nights,
AKA the freak offs,
Combs would ask Jane to FaceTime the entertainers,
have intimate video calls with them
while she secretly screen mirrors her phone
onto a giant TV for Combs to watch.
So I'm assuming it's like her video calling
these entertainers being like, he's out of town,
let's have a steamy video call.
And he's like watching on the TV.
And does the entertainer know that this is, oh.
She said specifically she did not tell them
because she wanted them to feel comfortable.
Sometimes Sean Combs would just ask her
to ask the entertainer for pictures of their private parts
so that they could both look at them.
Jane says about these pictures,
Combs would say like, get them to send you something
or FaceTime them or get them to send you something
and so they would.
Jane says in the middle of their relationship,
sometime in 2022, she actually comes across a word
because she's trying to figure out
what their relationship is at this point
and why Combs wants her so desperately
to engage in these activities with other men
in front of him and she doesn't even enjoy it. She says, I came upon a word that was called
cuck and the whole gallery.
I mean, literally there are members of the press
coming to the edge of the seat now.
They're like leaning forward
because she has such a soft spoken voice.
Combs, on the other hand, he's not happy.
He does not like this line of questioning.
He is frozen, and then he starts shaking his head
ever so slightly, like, no.
Jane is further asked, what is that?
That is a man who is in a relationship with a woman,
and he's turned on on watching his woman
have sex with another man.
I was just trying to kind of deep dive on all the reasons
why they had derived so much pleasure
from watching their woman be with other men.
I just wanted to know why my partner wanted so many
of these nights and what was driving him.
I was just trying to find an understanding of it
that he wasn't vocal about.
Is she being questioned by the prosecutor
or by the defense attorney?
The defense.
Oh.
So what was your understanding of what you learned?
I mean, there was a multiple list of reasons.
One of them was that the cuck derives pleasure seeing his woman receive
pleasure from the other man. And a few other things. It feels like Jane does not
want to say what other things. What are some of the other things? Some of the
other things were that cucks could also have a bi-curiosity. That they're too
ashamed to experience themselves and so they
use the woman to venture out in this curiosity without actually doing the act itself, which
I felt like a lot of dots were connecting in the gallery because it makes sense.
Now, this is obviously presumptuous.
We don't know Combs' sexuality, but it would make sense psychologically that if he does
not want to engage in any sort of loving commitment with Jane after these hotel nights
perhaps it's because
He wants to be Jane. He's jealous
So there was like lots of dots connecting in the gallery
A lot of people were whispering about it in the hallways after of all of their theories, but we're not psychologists
So we don't really know but these are moments. Yes. you say he doesn't want to engage with Jane after these hotel nights
He will have intimate relations, but he will not have romantic moments with Jane, which is all she was wanting for
And so some people are theorizing where armchair psychologists in the hallways of these
This courthouse. They're just saying maybe it's because he wants to be Jane. He doesn't love Jane, he wants to be Jane, you know, he wants to be in that position.
Others are saying, no, it's more degradation, like he just wants to humiliate women.
So it's kind of up in the air, nobody really knows. And a lot of the jurors, as Jane is saying this,
they're snapping their heads to look at Sean Combs and he is statuesque. None of his family
and friends have any sort of response either.
Would voyeurism or escapism also fit this fantasy? Jane thinks about it for a second and says, no, I think I
I would use the word cuck for him more so. A few of the people in the gallery cuck their heads a little bit.
But what's even more interesting in this is this line of questioning, like I said, is not coming from the government.
This line of questioning is coming I said, is not coming from the government.
This line of questioning is coming from Tenny Garagos,
Combs' own counsel.
If Sean Combs looks upset about where this is going,
why is Tenny Garagos asking Jane this?
It doesn't seem like Sean Combs wants to associate
his lifestyle with those terms,
and I say lifestyle loosely
because this is a trafficking case.
But perhaps it's embarrassing, but it might be the best shot that the defense
has. The defense needs the jurors to believe that Sean Combs is not a monster
he is not committing crimes he is just a cuck We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mango to

As always, full show notes are available at rottenmangopodcast.com.
Some of the quotes and statements have been shortened, combined, and condensed for brevity.
Today's episode has a few content disclaimers regarding mentions of
domestic violence, physical assault, and trafficking so please take a break if
you need to. you guys also know the drill. at the time of filming this episode, Diddy
is innocent until proven guilty and all the charges that he's been indicted on
are still alleged. any and all observations from me, my researchers, have
happened in real time, inside the courtroom,
and they are just observable actions.
I'm like, hey, I saw Sean Combs scratch his head and mouth these words to somebody.
That doesn't mean I know the intention behind these actions.
That doesn't mean I know what Sean Combs is thinking.
That doesn't mean I know if he's guilty or innocent of the charges that he has been charged with.
It just means I saw him scratch his head. It doesn't mean I know if he's guilty or innocent of the charges that he has been charged with.
It just means I saw him scratch his head.
So with that being said, let's get into it.
Where to find the gold of all the powerful?
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
When he finds himself, he finds freedom and all riches, achievement, and prosperity.
That is literally what Sean Combs is reading in court.
He walks into the courtroom most days now with a new little book. He has
ditched the Bible. He has replaced it with this bright red book with this
orange circle in the middle. It was giving a little bit culty. Nobody could
get a good read on it. Wait, so his like truth journal is gone too? No, he has his
truth journal. He's got this little accordion file thing that opens up and he's got the little Truth
Journal. He hasn't been whipping it out as obviously these days. I haven't seen truth written on there
since the first two times. Yeah, now he just like he shoves it in, he did the little sleeping thing,
and then now I'm like it's either out already, but like we get there before he gets there.
It's weird. It's weird
So nobody could get a good read on this book and I'm like scooching to the side squinting
I'm like trying to see if I could smuggle in a magnifying glass, but I also don't want to get kicked out of the courtroom
I'm trying to see what the hell this book is. I come home Google it bright red cover orange circle in the middle
That is the magic of believing
There are certain quotes in the book that read,
thoughts have a creative of controlling force
in the exact ratio of their constancy, intensity,
and power comparable to the wavelength
and wattage of a broadcast system.
I'm like, Sean Combs, are you okay?
What you exhibit outwardly, you are inwardly.
You are the product of your own thoughts.
What you believe yourself to be. You are.
Desire is the generating power of all human action, and without it, no one can get very far.
Okay.
I just like, I don't understand any of these concepts.
Maybe the part that he takes a little too seriously is the part in the book that reads,
Success is a matter of never seizing application.
You must forever work at it diligently,
otherwise it takes wings and flies away.
Which there have been never seizing applications
from the defense team.
So maybe he's taken it too literally.
The book also has special appearances
to talk about how persuasive Hitler, Stalin,
and Japanese warlords are.
So there's that.
That is the magic of believing.
While I'm sure it's a great book with a lot of great points made throughout, it is interesting
that this is the book that Sean Combs decides to pick up mid-trial.
I mean, perhaps he genuinely loves the book and he's just in his studious era.
Or it's the intellectual defendant who has a desire to do the inner work ploy.
Because at one point he starts reading the book mid testimony.
And I was trying to count the seconds of how long he's on one page,
because I'm like, I don't believe this man is actually reading this book right now.
Because, I mean, I can barely read books when I'm so immersed into a case
that have nothing to do with the case, because my brain is just not registering it.
There are more high stakes things going on,
and he is the defendant of his own criminal federal trial
and you're reading a book in the middle of the court day?
So I'm like, I don't think you're reading.
I think this is fake.
So I'm counting all the seconds
on how long he's on the same page,
which I will say was a very long time.
And one of his attorneys whisper something.
He puts the book away and then slams his right cheek into
his right hand like a little child that just got scolded. It's very interesting.
So it's a book about like, like a lot of attraction.
Yes. Manifestation. I keep interrupting you today. I'm sorry. Yes. About manifestation.
Yeah. Now the rest of the defense team are also in a funk. Donaldson is walking into the courtroom just talking to himself.
Usually he's engaged with everyone in the room.
He's a socializer, but today he's muttering to himself,
it's gonna be a long day.
It's gonna be a long day.
He says it twice to nobody in particular.
He looks like he's aged two years in the past like 48 hours.
Brian Steele on the other hand, he's having a good time. Him and Nicole Westmoreland,
they're like, we're flying back home probably in like a month. I'm excited. Okay. Brian
Steele is texting. His font is literally the largest setting that you can place on the
iPhone. It's massive. I'm like, sir, you are so lucky we're not trying to read your
text messages right now. It's giving dad vibes vibes and when Nicole Westmoreland walks in with a Prada bag, he greets her Nicole West money
Who?
Brian Steele
greets Nicole Westmoreland as Nicole West money and now we can't not call her Nicole West money
It just like rolls off. So they're they're pretty relaxed.
Yeah, I'm actually very surprised that they're so relaxed because
Brian Steele has been he has been I think unconsciously taking
the villain role of this trial because I can see that he seems
very depressive during those days.
So it seems like he is taking the bad guy lead on the defense team. Which makes sense because I was talking to someone who used to be an
attorney and they were like that's kind of what happens when you have such a big
defense team. You don't want every defense member to be a bad guy. You need
one bad guy that does all the bad stuff. Interesting. Yeah. And it's interesting
that you're saying that every day you go in there, all these attorneys, total
different energy every single day. Every single day. It's to the point where if we have
a witness on the stand, the press pews are kind of calculating who's going to do the cross-examination
because sometimes Nicole Westmanee walks in just like bright colors or like very tight fitted
clothes and when you're standing on the lectern, everyone is staring at your entire figure,
the back of your figure. So sometimes when she's wearing super tight-fitted clothes the press
views are like nah she's not doing the cross today ah so everybody's got a different energy
brian steel anytime he's talking or doing a cross he is in his own world he does not look like he is
registering his environment when he's not he's like giddy nicole westman he's not, he's like giddy. Nicole West's money's walking in,
he doesn't care that Jane's testifying.
Like he's having a good time.
Interesting, and this is like day one of Jane's?
Yes.
Okay, so and it's gonna last five days, six days?
Now, Father Arun is also not immune to dad vibes either.
Everybody's just becoming more of a dad
as the trial progresses.
During one part where jurors are not present, they're going over summary charts. Summary charts are given to the jurors at
the very end and it's like compiled evidence from both sides. He says, can we cut down this exhibit
so that it achieves that purpose without being 49 pages worth of text messages? He's talking to the
government. Some of which appear to be for non-illicit purposes, such as the text message on April 23rd, 2023,
or on spending money on flowers.
Prosecutor Slavik stands up.
Your honor, flower refers to marijuana.
And there's like a little pause,
and the judge and the gallery,
they're all giggling at the miscommunication.
And the judge is like such a champ.
He's like, I stand corrected.
Now, Jason Driscoll, Raspberry Air, has also been on the come-up recently. He has been invited into combs his inner circle
So he's like the youngest attorney on his side. That's been quiet this whole time
Okay to give you an idea mark Agnifilo and Tenny Garagos are founding partners of the law firm
Which founding partners you're like the top dog.
Alexandra Shapiro is a founding partner of her law firm. Brian Steele, I think him and his wife
run his own law firm. Same with Nicole West Money and Donaldson. The only random person is
Anna Esteveo is also part of a firm, but I think she's like a partner. She's been kind of quiet
recently, but Jason Driscoll is an associate at Alexandra Shapiro's
firm and he just looks so young compared to the rest of the defense team members who all
have like white hairs, except for maybe Tani Yaragos and Shapiro and Estaveo.
He looks like he was born yesterday in the best way possible.
So we're sitting there like he's got to be doing something right because Alexandra Shapiro
does not seem like the type of
bring your son to work day type of person.
She's only gonna put someone on her team in this case
if she thinks that they're worth it.
So we thought he's a dark horse.
Like something's gonna happen.
He's gonna be on the come up and we were right.
He's been talking a lot lately.
He went up against Comey recently
and the judge cited in his favor.
Although I do think like maybe the deck was stacked better for him and it's very interesting
every morning he gets a more passionate dap up from Diddy now he's been taken a
lot more and at one point when the judge does side with Jason Driscoll
Razz Berry Air he whips around and my researcher was like dying at this because he does not
smile, it's not goofy, he literally just gives like the most serious wink at Diddy,
and Diddy and Markeg Niflo are like, damn, we were not expecting this kid.
It's very interesting, their interactions to watch.
Even when he is talking to the judge, everybody's looking at him like waiting to see how he handles it. He's also brought his
wife, I believe, who sits with the friends and families of Sean Combs and at one
point he's dapping up Diddy in the morning. Diddy, he's like, oh I think my
wife is over there. I don't really hear what Jason Driscoll is saying but they
point towards the family and friends and the woman who comes with Jason Driscoll
is waving at Diddy and Diddy is like dramatically pointing at Driscoll being like, he's good. Thumbs
up. He's good. Yeah, so it's very interesting. But he is still not the smoothest attorney.
Some mornings he will miss the DAP up with combs, so they just kind of awkwardly hug
instead. Also, there's this awkward moment when he first
starts talking and the court reporter doesn't know who the hell he is so he's like who are you?
The court reporter. Yeah and he's got to be like Jason Driscoll. Yeah okay it's just kind of he
handled it very well but it is very interesting but I don't know how long he's going to stay in
Diddy's favor because here's the thing with Diddy, anytime any one of his attorneys doesn't
get what Diddy wants, he just looks at them and kind of sighs. Like, this is so
disappointing. I mean they don't know a moment of peace, these defense attorneys.
Mark Agnifilo is drinking water because all of them are getting sick and Diddy
is literally analyzing him drinking water, watching him fully turn to the side.
Just watching him drink water.
He can't even stay hydrated in solitude.
Alexandra Shapiro though, I will say, she does appear upset with everyone.
She always looks stressed.
She always is kind of scowling.
She gives me tough love type of vibes though.
Because anytime Driscoll loses a case with the judge and is trying to get something into evidence or not get into evidence
Judge doesn't side with him the rest of the defense team. They look disappointed
Alexandra Shapiro always mounts a very stern good job
But it's like so aggressive. It just feels like so tough love. She's basically his boss, right?
Yeah, and so even when he doesn't get the judge on his side, she's like, good job. But it's like very
intense. I'm like, what is happening? There's so many different dynamics. This
would make me cry. Alexandra Shapiro is also walking around with a massive
tissue box. She has been going row by row, passing out tissues to each of the
defense attorneys who grab one and they just start honking their noses into it.
Every single person in this courtroom is sick again. A few days ago there is a sketch artist that sits
right behind the defense table. So there's two that sit on the right side
in front of us. Sometimes one of them doesn't show up, Jane is always there.
Then on the left side there's another sketch artist and she sits right behind
Diddy and the defense team. She's in the very first row of the pew. I mean they both are. She starts coughing and it sounds
um not gonna lie it sounds very juicy. Right in front of her is Combs the
defense team. Right behind her in the pew is the Combs family. So she's sandwiched
between Combs and Combs family. Yes. Now to be fair there's another seat and like
directly behind Combs that's not a pew, that's not at the table.
Two US Marshals sit there. But they're just like watching Combs, right? So like she's like coughing on top of the US Marshal,
and it's just like going straight to Combs and then behind her Combs family and like mid testimony, she'll be hacking up a storm.
The Combs family, I mean, at this point, some of the press pews were confused at how animated it was.
Every time the sketch artist coughs, Combs family row, it's like a roller coaster.
In unison, they back all the way up like they're accelerating on a Disney roller coaster ride.
Can you tell them who's on there?
Yes, so you've got Janice Combs, you've got Justin Combs. Now it depends on the day
Sometimes it's just Justin other times
It's Justin and Christian and then other times it's Justin Christian and Quincy
The daughters have not shown up since the beginning of the trial and then you've got Dana Tran who is the mother of the youngest
Combs child baby love who is I believe only like two years old.
So they're all sitting there and they're just like leaning back in unison like a roller coaster ride,
trying to get away from like the sprays of the cough.
It's just so interesting to the point where even Justin is giggling at his grandma
because of the way that they're trying to move away from these coughs
They all start masking up too because it's that bad even a few of the older jurors have started wearing masks after this
Court has to break for one moment because a juror is coughing so much
They have to bring her water and cough drops and so I'm telling you
Everybody is getting sick the entire defense team is coughing
It's like a nightmare tissue rotation and we have never seen Sean combs this sick. He's defense team is coughing. It's like a nightmare tissue rotation.
And we have never seen Sean Combs this sick. He's so congested all week, he's
just aggressively rubbing his eyes in his scalp. He's like rubbing his eyes like
he's trying to take out his retinas. He's itching his entire scalp. I think it's
trying to soothe maybe sinus pressure. And he likes to pop cough drops
into his mouth, but he chews them.
I just know that this man bites his ice cream.
That's all I have to say.
And it's so interesting that there's this much going on during the testimony days.
Mark Agnifilo has also gotten a new haircut, and I say this with so much respect because
I was writing this down in my notes, and so were the researchers independently of me.
Because again, I'm very terrified.
Mark seems very intense but he also
seems like the type that would let his wife cut his hair. He walks in new hair
cut and my first thought was I feel like Karen cut his hair. That was the feeling
and then later a few days later one of my researchers is outside. Mark walks into
the courtroom he's interacting with some of the press members a little bit and he
just shouts at someone complimenting his haircut, my wife cut it.
So my suspicions were correct,
he looks even more teddy bear.
His whole energy is like the kid that gets a new haircut
comes into school and wants everyone
to compliment his new haircut.
He's like bouncing around and I'm like, what is happening?
How were they able to compartmentalize all of these things
that are happening in the courtroom?
He's also still filibustering.
So last we heard was that Combs got yelled at by the judge for nodding at the jurors.
That lasted like a day.
He's back to nodding again.
But Mark Agnifilo, Brian Steele, they're standing behind their client.
And Mark is saying, you know, one of the things I wanted to say, he's saying this to the
judge, I'm a reasonable man and everyone can and an approachable one.
So if someone, my colleagues from the government, sees something,
he's basically saying, I don't know why the government is tattletaling to the judge. They should tell me first.
I would encourage them to come to me. I take these things very very seriously. Now in terms of what?
I didn't see anything. I'm just, I'm riveted, Your Honor, I'm riveted.
Nodding is one of these things where it could be bad intentioned or it could not be bad intentioned.
And so I didn't see it. If someone comes to me and says, you know, I might disagree.
They might say he's nodding and I might say, you know, so what do you mean? Is that a problem?
Or is it not a problem? And maybe it's not a problem
Maybe it is a problem, but without people coming
So long to
But without people someone coming to me, you know kind of remedy this, you know, it's a stitch in time saves nine type thing
So when he's like talking in this mannerism, right? It's like he's trying to be very
Like smooth and very like kind of very clueless type of energy.
What is the judge's reaction?
Is he like, stop playing with me?
Or is he like, all right, all right, I know what you're doing.
I think it's harder to yell at Agnifilo, the judge, because it's like, I know what
you're doing.
We all know what you're doing like we all know what you're doing But I do see that maybe when brian steel comes in very hot and slightly aggressive
The judge shuts him down so quick and is like no
Same with alexandra. Shapiro. They talk a little more aggressively with the judge. The judge is not having it
I see marca. Agniflo is always like i'm just a teddy bear. I mean, maybe it's a problem. Maybe it's not a problem.
I didn't see anything.
He's almost like, don't blame me.
It's very weird.
So in a way it worked.
Yes.
He usually can get away with some of these things
because the way he talks.
Okay.
Yeah.
That being said, I take this matter very seriously.
I've spoken to Mr. Combs.
He's assured me he didn't mean anything by it.
He was just reacting to the witness on the stand. So like judge told him not to Mr. Combs, he's assured me he didn't mean anything by it. He was just reacting to the witness on the stand.
So like Judge told him not to not he stopped for a day and then he started
not nodding again and now the judge is having another conversation.
No. Oh, Mark Agniflo is just bringing it up.
Like maybe the government can just tell me next time.
If you see it, he like we didn't.
They're basically trying to say we were
taken aback that you yelled at Mr. Combs in front of everyone.
Oh, last time. The time of the judge just kind of told him, I'm going to throw Combs out of here.
Yeah. And the judge is literally staring at Mark like, I get it, but I literally saw him.
I literally saw him. He says, I mean, I saw the interaction myself and the interaction was inappropriate
and no one would have misunderstood my instruction that I had given about 30 minutes earlier.
So I regarded that as being outright defiance of the court's order in that moment as to that one incident.
Aka Father Arun is just not the one.
So now the dynamics of the attorneys are ever-changing.
It's so interesting to watch.
But a very interesting attorney does make an appearance last week.
Cassie's attorney, Doug Wigdor, is
present again for one day of Jane's testimony. Huh. Why? Yeah. Jane is a
pseudonym, but she is one of Sean Combs' latest girlfriends, and like I said, in
fact, when Sean Combs was arrested September 16th of 2024 in the hotel room,
Homeland Security found studio lighting, bottles and bottles of baby oil and astroglide as well as drugs.
Jane was on her way to New York City. Not on the plane,
but her plans were to fly to New York City to join him in the hotel where they would presumably have
formerly known as a freak-off, now known as a hotel night. When Jane walks into the courtroom,
I saw a lot of people in the gallery kind of crinkle their eyebrows, because even though she's testifying under a pseudonym,
I mean, even in the bathroom before the court day started,
people were hypothesizing, we were like,
is it Young Miami?
Like, who is it?
Is it a celebrity?
Is it a celebrity that maybe wasn't so firmly connected
in media outlets with Sean Combs,
but like maybe they were dating
because they're all part of that world?
We were thinking all sorts of things.
But when she walks in, you could just tell a lot of people don't know who she is.
Like almost nobody really knows who she is.
She is not a front facing celebrity.
You don't know Jane.
Don't look for Jane.
She walks in kind of playing with her sleeves.
She seems a little nervous, but not nearly as terrified as Mia appeared to be.
Just general nerves. She gets on the stand and she starts talking and immediately the jurors are
so deep in their notes and it's interesting because I think it has to do
with the timeline with Combs. This feels like so much fresh information. It feels
more pertinent to the case. The jurors are taking in this testimony and even
Combs, he has scooched his chair all the way back so he can get a better look at
the witness. He's scooched it so far back that the US Marshal sitting behind him looks like he's on a spirit flight now and Combs does not care
He even taps Mark Agnifle on the shoulder and asks him to scooch to the right
So that he can scooch to the right and get a better look at the jurors
No at the witness because in front of him is a very tall Donaldson. So he's scooching.
Maureen Comey is going to be doing the days long direct examination of Jane.
She kind of matches Jane's soft voice just a tad bit.
I think she's so good at changing her tone.
There is something about Maureen Comey.
I think she would be a professional poker player.
Like she could.
Something she will shut people down like the defense team. She will shut them down so quickly, but she never comes off
Bothered she never comes off hostile or angry or aggressive or like shaken up
Whereas I think some of the defense attorneys they seem like they're upset about something all the time like your honor
Blah blah, and they're upset. Marine Comey will be arguing
but she doesn't seem upset. She always the way she walks into court every day she's just always
kind of shrugging and smiling like everything will be falling apart and the prosecutors are
looking at her and she just gives them like a small shrug. She's always like I don't know what the
defense is up to they're kind of dumb. That's her vibe. Like she got this under control. Yeah she's
like let them do whatever they want to do they're dumb. That's her vibe but Like she got this under control. Yeah, she's like, let them do whatever they want to do.
They're dumb.
That's her vibe.
But when she talks to Jane, she also has a very soft voice that feels genuine.
And I was analyzing this throughout Marine Comey's direct.
A lot of people, they always say da-da-da-da, right?
Da-da-da-da, correct?
Marine Comey asks questions in such a natural way. It's so interesting.
She doesn't go for the correct, right? Like the attorney type of questioning.
No, and she's very good with her pacing, very good with her tone.
It's very interesting. Like when Jane starts crying, she actually seems sympathetic through her tone without saying anything sympathetic.
What names did you call him when you were in a relationship with him? This is
how pretty much how they start. Jane looks up through her lashes and she
smiles and she's got a really soft dainty voice. Sean, baby, Ernie, Snookums?
Like that's kind of her voice. One of the jurors giggles a little bit at the
nicknames. I mean giggle's a strong word It's like a soft smile. So who are you?
Bert. And who is he? Ernie. That's her voice. So like from Sesame Street? Yes.
Jane tells the jurors when she first met Sean, this is in like late 2020. So this isn't very recent.
This is three years before Cassie files her lawsuit. A lot of the testimonies we've heard are from way back.
2020, we're deep in the brother love era.
testimonies we've heard are from way back. 2020, we're deep in the brother love era.
Sean Combs wanted everyone to call him brother love starting in 2017.
But he really starts going on talk shows around 2020.
He releases the Love album in 2023.
Jane ends updating him up until his arrest in 2024.
And so which side note, why is he brother love? He says on a talk show, I decided to change my name again.
I'm just not who I am before.
I'm something different.
So my name is Love, AKA Brother Love.
I will not be answering to Puffy, Diddy, Puff Daddy,
or any of my other monikers but Love or Brother Love, okay?
Well, the prosecutors are calling him Sean Combs
and he's answering, so there's that.
Regardless, he is Brother Love. Jane calls him Sean. They meet while Jane is on a girls trip in
Miami in late 2020. Jane gets invited to this girls trip by a friend of hers and
that friend is dating Combs at the time. So Combs pays for that friend and Jane
and a bunch of other girlfriends to go to Miami to have a girls trip which it's
the way that Sean Combs sits there.
Anytime anyone brings up the fact that he paid for something that is not drugs or illegal substances
or baby oil, he will look at the jurors like, yeah, I did that. And I'm just like, why? This is so
goofy. Like the feds are trying to seize your assets. No one cares that you paid for a girls
trip. Nevertheless, they are all on this girl's trip.
They end up going over to Combs, Miami residence in Star Island one night.
And Jin says,
We went over there and I just saw Sean.
And he's really charming, really nice.
I was already drawn to him, like pretty instantly.
He was hospitable, really sweet, really friendly.
We had a nice night together.
She talks a bit slower. And she goes off to use the restroom at one point.
Bumps into him and the two of them exchange phone numbers.
That's when they give each other nicknames, Ernie and Bert, to save each other in the contacts.
Now, Combs is glancing at the jury again with the energy of like,
do you hear this? Are you writing notes? Because I guess it's not the best look for Jane
to be texting her girlfriend's romantic interest
while whilst on a girls trip with the girlfriend that's dating Combs.
Wow. Yeah, sir, you're being charged with trafficking.
Like I don't think the jurors are like, oh my gosh, girl code has been broken.
Like the law could potentially be broken. The beginning of the testimony, aside from a few glances to Comey and perhaps the jury,
Comey's very still.
He looks sometimes like he's buffering.
But Jane explains, while they're still on this girls trip, Comey starts texting her.
While they're together, saying things like,
I'd like to take you out.
Jane says, I was just saying to him that I just felt it was a little complicated in the moment,
but like, we'll be in touch.
So you were texting during the movie?
So all of them had seen a movie in his theater? Yes. And
was the girlfriend of yours who was seeing Sean in the relationship with him
there as well? Yes. So after the trip the two of them keep in contact over text
Jane says Combs is pursuing her asking her to come out to Miami just her but
she's feeling uncomfortable about it because of her friend still has feelings for Sean, and then it all changes when quote, my girlfriend ended up
getting engaged and she moved overseas and became a fiance, and so I thought that she was okay and
that I could potentially entertain this whole Sean thing. Their first date is when she goes back to
Miami in January of 2021. He meets her at her hotel room and she says, I remember when I first saw
Sean, he walks in the door of the hotel room and he was just like larger than
life. He had a very big personality, super charming, very very passionate, even just
in how he speaks and just overall really charming and he just immediately
immersed in conversation with me. Their first date in that hotel room lasts five
days. Five days long! They were in that hotel room lasts five days. Five
days long. They were in the hotel room for five days. Yes! Which feels kind of
like love bombing but also how do you have so much time? So during the first
date that lasts a full business week they talk about how Jane previously dated
someone that Sean Combs was very close to and that he said that's not a problem.
Then they talk about the fact that Jane has a child, she's a mother to a child, one child, and her child's father and
Combs are not friendly with each other, which made things more complicated, but Sean is like, no,
don't even worry about it. And then Jane is like, okay, well, what about my girlfriend that you
were dating? And he's like, we weren't even really dating. Like we were more so like friends. So he's
like, don't worry about anything. And they just have a wonderful time. Jane says, we weren't even really dating. Like we were more so like friends. So he's like, don't worry about anything.
And they just have a wonderful time.
Jane says, we made lots of love.
I remember it was amazing.
And I remember it was like morning time.
And then we decided to go for a walk on the beach.
Whenever Jane talks about her past with Combs,
it is so fascinating because she appears
to be incredibly love struck.
Even now, she says after the first date,
she's head over heels for him.
And in the beginning, you can kind of feel
that most of the people in the courtroom
don't really know what to make of it.
Because, I mean, she's testifying against him.
He's done allegedly very horrible stuff,
but she's also saying things like,
it was beautiful, we made lots of love,
and she seems kind of shy about it as if she's, she seems still in love.
And the next month, they end up going to Turks and Caicos
as well as the Bahamas.
So it's just back to back.
He's like wooing her.
What do you remember from the time you spent in Turks
in February of 2021?
I just remember so many lovely things.
It was just really us.
And so we just had a lot of connection
and a lot of time together.
As you would assume, just really passionate
about one another, lots of attraction.
It was very lust-filled.
So this is the first trip that she takes with combs.
Now, side note, they are there for like a week, more or less,
and they do it 10 times.
She says, I remember we were inside the pool
and we were drinking and just having a good time.
He opens his hand with a pill and he's like,
here, take this.
It'll just be more fun.
Something like that.
And so I end up taking the whole thing.
Afterwards, she starts feeling like it's hitting too hard.
I was walking down the beach with him and then it just hit me
and I just remember I fell to the ground and I started grabbing the sand
and throwing the sand and my body was just like almost convulsing and I was
like I think I was screaming a little bit and she's kind of doing like a shy
smile as she's saying it like she's embarrassed.
Combs is chief of staff, KK tries to help Jane and she does end up feeling better
after a shower and it seems like after that Combs starts decreasing the amount
of ass you see that he's giving like- Wait, I'm so sorry.
Chief of staff-
Christina Corum.
Yes, was right there.
Yes.
She saw it, she helped her to take a shower.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a lot.
And now, do they stop giving her drugs?
Are they like, you really shouldn't do any drugs?
No, she says that Combs just starts decreasing
the amount of ass he starts giving her.
She starts taking smaller doses, but her highs would still last 12 hours.
Now a lot of the jurors, they honestly start looking a little bored, but they start perking
up more after this story of like the convulsing on the sand, because now they're like, oh,
this is getting weird.
Meanwhile, Jane looks really shy describing all these incidents, and Combs is just very
intensely pinching the chin hairs with his right hand, staring at Jane.
It's like a very, very scary Santa Claus.
Now, side note, the Combs sons are in and out of the courtroom throughout the week that
Jane is testifying.
Like I said, one day it's just Justin, the next day it's all three of them.
Sometimes just Justin and Christian.
Which side note, they don't appear to be having the worst time with Jane's testimony,
or in fact the entirety of the trial
They are constantly passing notes to each other smiling
It is a running comment at rotten mango that we are more stressed about this trial than some of the cone sons
Or some of the friends and family and the pews if there were any other case that would be an insane and perhaps
Unacceptable thing to say but genuinely their stories, like their thirst traps before court vibes,
I just don't even know how they can do that.
I just, I don't understand it.
The way that they're mostly in their own little
passing notes high school bubble in the pews,
I am convinced that everyone in the press pews,
everyone in the public pews,
is more exhausted from this trial than the sons.
So at one point during Jane's testimony,
a court officer, so not Officer Riz, right?
They walk over to motion for Combs' bestie
to wake up because he's asleep.
Another day, Quincy comes in,
he spends a good chunk of the day
just twirling a red pen in his hand,
and at some points he will slip it
inside his long sleeve and itch his arm with it.
inside his long sleeve and itch his arm with it.
During the vacation, Jane opens up that she's a single mom. She's working as a content creator, influencer,
and because she couldn't work while on this trip,
he ends up giving her $10,000 in cash at the end of the trip after the end of that trip
How did you feel about Sean? I was even deeper in my feelings for Sean
I want to say we even started using the L word and I was really deep in it
I really fell head over heels for him. This is the February 20. This is yes February of
2021 right so they met in January. This is February right so they actually met in 2020
Oh, yeah, which she went to Miami for the first time in January of 2021
They went on Turks and Caicos February of 2021 got it
So this is all happening like years before the lawsuit and she just sounds so in love with this man
Even the way she says we started using the L word instead of saying like we started saying
we love each other.
It just feels like a girl that's head over heels.
Meanwhile, Combs is not even focusing.
The sketch artist behind him will cough and he quite literally turns around back and looks
at her like, excuse you.
In 2021, Jane moves to LA to be closer to Combs on the West Coast.
Combs gives her $6,000 for a moving truck.
She says, I just remember he was so sweet. He would give me money here and there.
So for the beginning of Jane's testimony, Combs starts slowly looking less bothered.
But that's about to change very soon.
Jane and Combs had freak-offs, but they called them either debauchery or hotel nights.
Jane says, I learned so many things.
I learned how he liked to have a b****y playing.
I learned how he preferred me to dress and I just learned the things that he likes actually.
He preferred me to dress in provocative lingerie and really high stripper heels.
She would have to be in lingerie and stripper shoes for 12-24 hours at a time whilst high
on drugs whilst having intimate relations with Combs.
He would have her rub baby oil all over herself and
what did Sean tell you to do with it? To just have it all over my body and his body?
The interesting thing is Combs is looking at Maureen Comey with this look of like how dare you ask such personal questions?
It's very uncouth of you. Sometimes the way he looks at her, you would think that she's asking these questions in church. In
the beginning, Jane says that she loved all of her intimate moments with Combs. It was
just her and Combs. We would have the red lights on. I loved them. I really loved my
partner and I was just having, making love with my partner like the whole time and lots of affection and kisses and love making
and it was really wonderful.
I had a really nice, I felt like Sean was really passionate
and he brought out a lot of passion out of me
and the way he would compliment me and be so into me
and just really like enjoying one another.
Like it just made me feel really good inside.
So that's kind of the tone that she uses.
But a few months after the Turks vacation, so this is like mid 2021, Jane says she takes a deep breath
and she says, I remember that just when we would watch we started having a lot more of
fantasy conversation. And she starts sobbing. Oh, like she hasn't even talked about what
the conversation is. But clearly it's getting her so emotional. Do you need to take a break, Jane?
No.
Who initiated the fantasy conversation you're describing?
Sean.
And can you explain to us how he initiated that conversation?
Just we would search specific things on websites, and
just in the middle of it, being high, he just really wanted me to fantasize or
kind of talk about other men and this type of role play about other men." Jane starts dabbing her eyes with the tissue she's
like full-on crying. And you said that he would want you to talk about other men?
What did he tell you that he wanted you to say about these other men? It's more
like a question like do you like what you see there? Do you like that? Do you
want that? Can you imagine that? Pretend that that's here and I'm that that person she says the very first night he brings us up with her
they've already been high on a mix of f***ing ecstasy
they've been awake for 24 hours
and by this point, the past 12 hours, they've been watching videos and having intimate relations
and quote, he started saying that I can make this fantasy a reality
if you'd like to have that happen, I can make that happen
because it just seemed like he wanted that
and it was turning him on and I was really into my partner
and I said, okay.
Jane still is thinking, maybe it's just a fantasy.
I mean, she's just going along with it.
She excuses herself to the bathroom
and by the time she comes out,
Combs is in a robe, very serious,
like very intently looking at his phone.
He's like, we can make that happen tonight Jane is like tonight like okay I was taken aback a bit surprised
but like okay because my partner was excited and it was already happening and
this was just something that we were gonna do instantly combs is calling his
assistance they're starting to get a hotel ready in Miami for that at this
point Mark Agnifilo is also leaning so far to the left to watch
Comey during her direct that he looks like, and I don't mean this to be comical in any sort of the
word because I tried to find a different comparable like meme or something that could depict exactly
what we're seeing, but you know that damn meme where the two guys are like leaning to the side and it says like damn like he's leaned that far to the
side and sometimes Sean Combs will lean with him so it literally looks like that
damn meme why are they leaning cuz like they're they're on the same line as
Marine Comey Marine Comey is literally to their right and they just like want
to stare at her I also think that they want to stare at her. I also think
that they want to stare at the jurors behind her. He's captivated. The jurors
are also taking notes and she says, Combs tells her everything's gonna be fine.
Once I get to the hotel, he just told me that there's somebody coming and just to
relax and that this would be something fun. And he knows the guy and he's a
really nice guy and I was just super nervous and just listening to him the guy ends up showing up
combs and the guy are in the living room of this hotel suite
Jane is anxious, she's waiting in the bedroom, she says
I remember I was in the room by myself for a little bit
and then he walks out and greets the guy and I can hear them talking and I eventually
he called me outside, I was wearing lingerie underneath a robe
I was wearing the big stripper heels, I was high
she walks outside, sees the entertainer I was wearing lingerie underneath a rope. I was wearing the big stripper heels. I was high.
She walks outside, sees the entertainer.
She doesn't really know what to do,
so she just kind of sits awkwardly on the couch.
Presumably, she looks very tense.
She said her arms were crossed, her legs were crossed,
and Combs is just telling her to relax.
Sean was like, just stand up.
Like, and so I stood up, and I started just kind of danced
just to kind of get my nerves away.
And in the courtroom, she's very emotional
as she's talking about this.
Her voice is getting soft and she's describing
how Don is trying to make her comfortable.
Don is the entertainer.
And what was Sean doing while you and Don
started touching each other?
He was watching and touching himself.
Then they escalate to oral activities,
which ends up taking a really long time. About long did that last quite a while and what was Sean doing in
the meantime watching talking I remember he was like in a positive mood just like
being very encouraging and sweet Jane has a similar reaction to Cassie to all of
this which is let's just speed things up like let's just get this over with
because we're already here let's just get it over with but Combs gets upset
with her and she asks for protection. Jane's tearing up, Janice
Combs, Combs' mom just like walking in in a fringe jacket, double layered fringe
jacket. It feels like a very festive jacket. She's wearing sunglasses and like
this courtroom is such a weird mix of energies all the time it's so hard to
digest and Jane's just up there crying. Jane says after she had intimate relations with Dawn, quote, we were in a really good mood.
With Dawn?
Yes, the entertainer.
So she's like having intimate reactions. And then, you know, we were in a really good mood
and we just started making love. Now she's making love with Sean. And he was really,
really happy. She says the first night she felt
really exhilarated. I felt that I had did something, done something that I had
never done before. I felt excited. I was happy. It was taboo. It was fun. I had a good
time with my partner. But ultimately she's thinking this is just a one-night
thing where they do something absolutely crazy and taboo. It's fun. Like maybe it's
a two times a year for his birthday and Christmas type of thing She did not think that they would really do it at a high frequency
However, it starts dawning on her. She said after that night
I truly felt that that night had just opened like a Pandora's box in our relationship
It completely set the tone for our relationship moving forward. What do you mean by opening a Pandora's box?
I meant that it was just a door that like I was unable to shut for the remainder of the relationship.
Because after that first time, which she really wasn't even prepared for, just spawned out
of nowhere, anytime she would see Combs, it's like a hotel night was already in the works.
And if she just wants to have intimate time with just her and Sean Combs, it just doesn't
happen.
On one occasion, she recalls Combs inviting her to New York City and she tells him she doesn't wanna go
because she feels like he's gonna set her up with somebody,
it's gonna be another hotel night
and she would just rather not do that.
And he's telling her, no, it's gonna be romantic,
it's gonna be you and me, one-on-one, intimate time.
So Jane agrees, she flies to New York, she says,
I was really excited, I trusted those words
and I went to New York.
And on my flight is when he says,
do you want entertainment tonight?
And I just felt really disappointed.
I felt like the high of seeing my lover
was just like shot down.
I just felt this like heaviness, like damn.
And she starts sobbing.
I'm sorry, I just, I felt this weight over me,
like I felt like a balloon popped.
She's already on the plane.
She lands in New York, he has gifts gifts waiting for her and he's gonna take her
to dinner and at this point it's already 3 a.m. it doesn't feel romantic she's
waiting for him in the car right outside the hotel he hasn't been talking about
the hotel night so she's thinking okay maybe he forgot he's talking to his
entourage outside the hotel like she's in the car he's like at the entrance of
the hotel talking to his entourage, maybe security staff, maybe assistants, I don't know, for 40 minutes.
And she ends up taking a picture from inside the car while she's waiting for him.
And she said it was just kind of funny how obvious the red lights were.
Because I guess she could see their hotel room and the red lights were on.
No, so he took a photo of... She did.
She took a photo of Sean, but in the photo you see the red light
and she didn't realize that. She did that's why she took the photo. Oh okay okay yeah she realizes
that the assistants are setting up for a hotel night. They go to the lounge they grab food and
she just says they start bickering. I was bickering about just how I was done with this and I didn't
want to do this and like why every time I see you like this is happening and something along those lines
and I just remember he was like super defensive and saying we don't have to do any of this stuff
I don't need to do any of this and we don't have to do this at all and just very defensive
she tells combs that she doesn't want any more hotel nights, which he agrees
He's like, yeah, you okay fine. You don't have to but quote I was I was just listening, but in my heart, I just knew that he didn't mean that.
What makes you say that?
Because it still happened that night?
So on the way back to the hotel room, he gives her an assy pill.
They get to the hotel and there is a man and no matter what Jane tries, she just cannot
get into it.
So she tells Combs on the side and she's like, there's no chemistry, it's not gonna
work.
He just appears agitated according to Jane and it's like he begrudgingly accepts it and quote that at that point
It's just me and Sean and we're just together and he's kind of like I can't wait to see what you have for me next
Or what would make this better or what would we do?
What surprises you have for me and in that is saying that to her. After they kicked that guy out.
And in that moment, I just wanted to make it up to him
and that he wasn't going to have like
this night that he envisioned.
And so I messaged Cabral.
Cabral is a different entertainer that they frequently use.
Side note, he's an adult video star.
He's also from Atlanta, so they're flying him.
Which is part of the charges.
Cross state lines.
Why did you feel like you needed to make it up to him if just they're flying the dude
out that right then and there in like freaking 4am, 5am?
Yeah.
Why did you feel like you needed to make it up to him if just earlier that night you told
him you don't want to do these nights anymore and Sean said you don't have to Jane pauses
for a really long time and it just feels like she did not prepare for this question and she says
that's a really hard question to answer. I just I just knew that's what would
make my partner the happiest and I just I just wanted to give him what he wanted
and I wanted to make him happy and I I wanted to just have a good upbeat night
with him. But even more interesting is that a few weeks prior
to Jane testifying, a different man was on the stand
and he was just describing how hotels actually know
a lot more about us than we think.
So if you stay in especially a more upscale hotel
like the Le Meritage in Beverly Hills,
they wanna know what kind of hotel guest you are
so that they can anticipate your needs.
They can over deliver and you will continue to stay with them.
You will stay loyal to them.
Some high-end hotels, there are reports online that they will actually track guests' movements
and behavior patterns through their connection to the Wi-Fi.
So when hotel guests connect to the hotel Wi-Fi, they will start tracking which floor
you're on, how often you use the hotel lobby, how often you're at the bar, how often you're at the pool, just to see how you move about.
Are you someone that stays in the hotel room more frequently or do you leave all day long
and you just come home to sleep? What? First of all, yeah, that sounds crazy. Yeah. Second of all,
what are they doing with my location in this hotel? I don't know. I guess they're just trying to anticipate the flow of humans in the hotel.
I don't think they know like what you're doing in your room or where in the room you are,
but it just kind of shows as you're moving if you're connected to the hotel Wi-Fi. Now
there's a lot that hotels know about their guests and Frederick Zamore is the general
manager at the La Meritage Beverly Hills Hotel.
He is subpoenaed by the government to fly to New York City from Los Angeles to testify in the USAV Sean Combs case.
And the Le Meritage has a very interesting profile on Sean Combs.
So a few notes for the front desk.
He says there is an American Express card on file.
They have dates for times when the hotel provided amenities like a bowl of fruit, chocolates, and water. They keep note of that. Another thing is the
note reads, please only reserve entry-level rooms for Sean Combs. Which
is puzzling because this guy's a billionaire. Why would you only reserve
entry-level? I would say reserve only top-of-the-line most expensive sweets
because he can afford it. The next part of his guest profile however reads, always spills candle wax on everything
and uses excessive amounts of oil.
Place room out of order upon departure for deep cleaning.
Please authorize an extra $1,000 when guest stays with us
to cover any room damages.
With a detailed incident report from January 2010
when Sean Combs was staying in room 804,
housekeeping had gone into the room
and noticed large deposits of candle wax on the carpets in the living room area
and on the nightstands. Then another note, please monitor outside his room down the
hall to spray air freshener. Likes the room hot, sets thermostat to 75 degrees.
Frederick Zemmour is in the courtroom for like a solid 20 minutes. There's no
cross-examination and this was a while back,
but everyone remembers the name, the La Hermitage Hotel, because everyone was having a hard time saying the name of the hotel.
Jane is now on the stand weeks later, and she states that she has been in the La Hermitage Hotel
for what Combs called a sobriety party.
Combs wanted to get sober, and he just wanted to do this one big party, like a big binge right before,
which I don't know about the logic on that,
but nevertheless, Jane says the night of the sobriety party,
she doesn't use drugs, but she believes that Sean Combs
was doing ecstasy and cocaine,
and this sobriety party turns into a hotel night.
I just remember that it was like this typical routine,
except I didn't take anything, and I was in an outfit, and I was't take anything and I was in an outfit and I was with
Sean and the room was decorated and I was just getting ready and I remember it was like the first guy
Then a second guy and then after the second guy I just went into the bathroom and I wasn't feeling well
So she rushes into the hotel bathroom and throws up
Sean walks in and the whole thing the defense is trying to say is this is not sex trafficking because everybody here is a consenting adult in an adult
relationship they're all girlfriends basically and I'm not saying that this
action alone is against the law but let's say a woman's boyfriend walks in
on her in the bathroom throwing up picture the normal response this is
Sean Combs's response Jane says I told him that I had just thrown up
and he was like, that's good then. You'll feel better now that you've thrown up. So let's go.
Like let's go because the third guy is here. The third guy is here, meaning there are two dudes
in the room already. No. So she had one entertainer, they had intimate relations in front of Sean
Combs and then after he left a second entertainer came and now it's the third guy back-to-back
And she's clearly feeling unwell
Jane starts getting more emotional like she can barely even finish sharing this story. I hated it so much
It was just I was just I was just disgusted a few of the jurors they glance at Combs
I was just so repulsed. I was just so mad at myself for doing that. I just deeply regretted that."
She says that she felt absolutely terrible after this party and as Jane is still crying,
Comey brings up a thread of text messages. Now keep in mind one big part of direct examination is to bring
in evidence that the defense is going to bring in during cross because remember we were so upset
about the whole intercontinental hotel lawsuit that came up at the cross for Cassie.
It's just annoying because you want to hear it from Cassie herself.
And I do think there is this feeling of if something comes up in the cross examination, it feels like you're caught in a lie.
Even if it's not that serious.
Like you're trying to hide it or something.
If it's not a lie, then why are you hiding it?
It's just the line of questioning is aggressive. It's
antagonistic so it's good to bring it up during direct which is exactly what Comey does because after the sobriety party
There is a text from Jane to combs that reads baby. Good morning. I love you. Hope you're having a great day so far
Do you think you can put something in my account, please? There's a few things I needed and wanted. Thank you, baby."
A few of the jurors have their brows furrowed.
I mean, they're staring at this message
because it seems, I mean, it seems like they're taking it
back by this type of message after that kind of testimony.
And Komi asks, and what did Sean respond?
No.
Really?
Yeah.
She later texts,
can you make sure that you can put something
in my account, please?
You have me feeling a little crazy and feeling used like I got tricked into a party and you're not communicating.
The government is arguing that Combs engaged in sex trafficking by using force fraud and coercion and or coercion. The defense is arguing that Combs and all the women, they were engaged in these activities with and they were all consenting adults and
that some of these women, they were getting something out of these activities.
Now it's up to the jurors to decide but this is what Jane says about her experience about these hotel nights.
It's like a Pandora's box. She thought it was one time and now it's 90% of the time.
She said that it took up her entire life and there's so many similarities to Cassie's testimony.
She says that she would have to maintain proper childcare.
She always looked put together and ready
for whenever Combs would call her.
She had to make sure her nails were done,
her hair was done, her tan, her glam.
And she says, I just liked being beautiful for Sean,
and I know he liked me looking beautiful for him.
He liked having my hair straight,
or when it was time for us to be together intimately he liked my hair in a ponytail. He wanted me have light
colored nails mostly like a creamy white and later in our relationship he was
wanting me to get piercings. Where did Sean tell you he wanted you to get
piercings? My nipples. Combs starts twirling his pen against his lip like a
joint which, side note about the piercing, he tells her this is what he wants from his girl and
this is what turns him on.
Then he has his chief of staff, KK, apparently help set up the appointment for her to get
the piercing done.
And she describes getting it done felt like a rodent had bit her really hard there.
And she kept those in for about a year until they quote, they snagged on some of the outfits and they bled and got infected so she naturally
takes them out but Sean Combs is upset about this he was okay with it at first
but then I could tell he was getting impatient with how long this it was
taking me to put them back in so with this conversation again Combs is just
sitting there stroking his chin hairs at this point it looks like he's watching
the five o'clock news about inflation.
Like, this has nothing to do with him.
He's got such a nonchalant demeanor.
And it's so interesting because even the jurors seem like they're getting less and less engaged with the testimony.
It seems like they're almost to the point where they are desensitized to the conversation of freak-offs and hotel nights.
And this is day one, day two of the direct?
This is around day one and day two.
Okay, and you can tell the jurors are getting
less and less locked in.
They will perk up at certain points.
Like when certain names come up,
like the Laramie-Taj Hotel,
because I think it's like an Easter egg feeling
is how my researcher describes it.
Because we're looking for ways to describe,
it's like, oh, I've heard that before that before oh maybe we're about to connect some dots but they just
look a little less engaged there's not particularly as much smirking as there
was with Mia's testimony but they just look some of them look like they're not
resonating with this story meanwhile Jane is telling this slightly unengaged jury.
He would say things like,
Where are my piercings? Where are my piercings?
This is the last time I see you when you don't have any piercings on.
She says she didn't even really have much time to spend with her friends anymore.
Just looking nice started taking up most of the time in her life, like every day.
But it's all because, quote,
I would say when I was with Sean,
I was really consumed by him. I was really consumed by Sean. Meanwhile, Combs is glancing back at the
clock, which is behind the press pews at the end of the courtroom. Like, where do you have to be
right now, sir? I don't understand. Jane says the hotel rooms were almost always decorated and fixed
before they arrived, with bedsheets covering everything, all the furniture, blankets, towels,
and in a hotel night, they would go through like two dozen
or more bottles of baby oil.
Diddy goes-
Two dozen?
Yeah, two dozen.
24 baby bottles, baby oils.
Yes.
Diddy goes into his full businessman pose,
legs crossed, right arm on the armchair rest,
two fingers touching and pinching his chin hairs.
He's doing this, he makes eye contact with Mark Agnifilo who's sitting to his right,
and then instantly he puts his arm down. I'm not sure if that's a sign from Mark or if he just
wants to naturally change his position, but it reminds me of like if you're shaking your leg and
your parents snap a look at you and you stop. That was the vibe it was giving. However, there are way
bigger things that Combs has to worry about because Jane starts testifying that the entertainers would be instructed by Combs
to finish their actions just right outside of her private parts.
And that is when Jane and Combs would start making, quote, love.
Combs cocks his chin all the way up.
Would you clean up the substance in between?
No.
Combs stares at Comey, cocks his head to the left and it feels like he's
trying to show the jurors that he's not embarrassed. In a single hotel night sometimes it would happen
more than once with one person and then maybe more than once with another person. In total, how long
did a typical hotel night last? Like 24 to 30 hours or more? All the while, she's high on ecstasy that Combs provides
and she does state that the longest time
was three and a half days.
She stayed awake through a combination of quote,
I would take ecstasy, I would drink caffeine,
I would just try to drink water,
I would just try to order myself smoothies
or protein shakes.
She says that she was not allowed to sleep at all
during that time.
Sometimes she would be told by him
to hold the same position for hours,
like the same position during intimate activities for hours.
She would have to wear professional stripper heels for hours the entire time.
She says, I just remember my feet being really sticky and oily,
and then I would just try to remain balanced in my steps,
but maybe a couple times I've slept. Yeah.
At this point, interestingly enough, it's like every time Jane responds to a question while she's talking,
Combs slightly lifts his chin up and looks down at her, and then when she's
done responding, his chin also goes back down. Jane says that she would listen to
all of Combs' instructions during the hotel night's quote, on command, even if
that meant that she would have to suffer from UTIs yeast infections she said that she had a UTI almost every week and it
just felt like this burning constant urination it was the worst she would get
treated with antibiotics she would be sore everywhere all the time but she
never really told combs about it because quote I just don't want to indicate like
any negativity combs is looking straight at Jane and prosecutor Komi. Jane does not look back at him
But it does seem like he's not as calm as he tries to be perceived. A few things stand out
So for example the very first break during Jane's testimony
Combs practically jumps out of his chair places both of his hands on his chest and does like this weird back stretch
And he does a lot of these like uncomfortable stretches during really weird moments of the
trial.
And it's usually when it's a very important witness.
Like remember Mia, he was doing those weird fist bumps, shoulder stretches, puffing out
his chest.
And then at other moments, Combs is just staring down Marine Comey.
It is so clear Sean Combs does not like
any of the prosecutors. Whenever one of them stutters, whenever one of them gets
an objection sustained, he looks at them with such disdain. He looks at them like,
are you okay? He will just give them such a specific stare. It's the best way to
describe it as like if you hate someone and they get in trouble and you just
look at them like, oh you're such a mess. Like that's the vibe. to describe it is like if you hate someone and they get in trouble and you just look at them like,
oh, you're such a mess. Like that's the vibe.
And it's not just the prosecutors who's doing this too.
There's one time when the jurors are not in the room, the attorneys are all arguing about something and Mark Agniflo asks the judge,
Your Honor, I apologize. Can we have a quick bathroom break?
So it's the attorneys arguing and it's clear that Mark Agnifilo is asking on behalf of Sean Combs.
So the judge says, to be honest, yes, if someone is not addressing an issue and you would want to take a break,
you should do so, Mr.
And he's about to address Mr. Combs, like Mr. Combs, if you need to go, feel free to go.
Combs doesn't even acknowledge the judge, just gets up mid-sentence that the judge is saying that,
does not respond, does not nod, nothing, and he just starts leaving with the US Marshals. The judge even says,
there you go, okay, and moves on. Really? Yeah. Really? He's not... what? And this is so
crazy to me because if Combs is convicted, like is this... he genuinely feels
so much confidence that he's not gonna get convicted because if he's convicted,
Father Arun is the one deciding the sentence.
Wait, that's so interesting because he's always super attentive to the jurors, right?
He's always playing up these kind of gestures versus to the judge, he's not like showing
any of that?
No.
Like he's different?
You know, even the defense attorneys are always like, your honor, your honor, your honor.
I don't think he likes the judge being in charge.
I think he's also very butthurt that the judge yelled at him about nodding at the jurors.
I really do not think that he can stand another man being in charge of him.
Interesting.
Yeah, because even if the jurors leave some, I mean, when he talks to the judge directly,
he'll try to make jokes.
There's one time where, you know,
Alexandra Shapiro is like,
we're gonna wave the right to something.
Like they're trying to get their way and they're like,
if anything happens, we'll wave our right to an appeal
based off of this.
It was on like one of the jurors they were trying to dismiss.
And then the judge is just trying to confirm with Mr. Combs
and he starts waving and he says, we wave it.
Judges doing that?
No, Combs.
So like when he's directly
talking to the judge, it seems like
he tries a little bit to be charismatic
but otherwise, he
does not care. There are times when the jurors
are dismissed for the day, the attorneys are fighting about
stuff. Combs will slouch all the way
in his chair and lean his head up
against the chair on the back.
So you're saying the moment that the jurors
left, he's like, switchors left, he's like switch.
Yeah, he's like, whatever.
Huh, fascinating.
Yeah, and I'm like, Father Arun is going to be the one sentencing you if you're convicted.
So I don't know what kind of energy that is.
I don't know.
It's just weird.
Now, to be fair, though, I guess Combs is very consistent.
He looks at the prosecutors like that.
He looks at the judge like that. He looks at the judge like that.
Sometimes he looks at his own defense team like that.
So he just hates everyone sometimes.
Except the jurors.
Except for the jurors.
Now, Jane testifies that it would just
be difficult for her to be able to get the entertainers to even
wear protection because Combs would guilt-trip her.
He says, quote, he didn't want to see it like like rubber
when he was watching and she's like hesitating because it seems like she
doesn't want to talk about these things. Now the prosecutors bring into evidence
an audio recording of Jane and Combs and an entertainer. The camera was set up to
film the hotel night but Jane and Dawn, the entertainer, are looking for
protection in the room. Now just to clarify, the courtroom mainly just hears
a lot of static but the jurors get a transcript of the audio note, which the gallery does not. But while
it's playing, Jane is mainly looking down with no emotion and Combs is studying the hell out of the
screen and listening to it in like a little huddle with Tenny and Mark and their heads are all pressed
together at this point. This is what my researcher drew to describe their huddle.
Like this is how bad it's getting
because like no one, there's no cameras allowed.
So we're just trying to like memorize
all these positions, okay?
Now Janice, Combs' mom, is just staring straight ahead,
eyes closed.
Combs is bestie in the pew.
His head is drooped, his eyes are closed.
It's unclear if he's sleeping or depriving himself
from the sense of sight so that he can enhance his hearing abilities
Meanwhile the jurors are frozen a lot of them are paying attention
They've got their eyebrows raised because in the audio clip combs tells Jane that she was quote just taking that D
Comb is telling Jane just take that D. No you were just taking that D meaning. It's already happened without protection
So why are you complaining now?
Combs goes on to say, if you don't touch yourself right now, Jane gets very emotional,
and she says she understood it as my request is just going to get denied, so just move
on from this request.
Why did you feel the need to get permission from Sean to have the man who was having intimate
relations with your body to wear a condom.
Her voice starts breaking and she pauses for a really long time before she says,
I don't know.
I'm just still trying to process even that.
Jane later says perhaps this is the reason, quote, I just didn't want to disappoint my lover.
And I do kind of love Maureen Comey for this because she asks on multiple occasions
why the entertainers bodily fluids were not cleaned off her body
before she and Sean were intimate. And each time this line of questioning appears, Combs tries to make his body bigger.
He'll stretch his chin up and look down at Jane.
He'll look straight at Maureen Comey and the jurors.
He'll stretch his chin up and look down at Jane. He'll look straight at Marine Comey and the jurors
But Jane continues that Combs would like for her to just play around with it and have it everywhere
She says after that she would have to shower and get ready for the next entertainer
Jane starts to cry and get emotional and it's interesting because some of the jurors they look away from Jane when she starts getting too emotional And it doesn't look like I don't't want to see this anymore. It feels so human. Like I feel like we should give her some privacy
because she's so emotional. Like it feels too intimate to be staring her down. Yeah.
Combs on the other hand, he's staring her down. He will crane his neck to watch her cry. She says
that if she was getting tired, she would try to give subtle cues that she's tired, saying things like, she was hungry, or quote, I would lay
down or I would give him kind of like little faces. But it didn't matter because he would
sense it and say things like, you're not getting tired on me, are you? Let's finish strong.
Let's end on a high note.
Comey asks Jane, why didn't you just say that you were done and you wanted to stop? And she just starts sobbing.
And there are points where she sobs so hard, it's like waves on her body and she'll try to talk,
which she lets out what other people have described as like very animalistic noises,
which is kind of a weird way of describing it.
But in the sense of like, they're not like normal cries.
Like you're trying to hold it in in but you can't even help it
They're just blurred out of you. It's almost like an exhale scream
Like she can't even help it
And she says I just don't know I don't know
She says that after hotel nights she feels I would feel really happy to end my night with Sean
But I would really fight to block out just like how sad I felt after
She also explains afterwards when they get that quality time together they would able to
they would spend time like a real relationship, kind of.
She thought maybe they'd go on a date after a hotel night because that's what he would always promise her.
But instead after hotel nights she would follow Combs back to his residence
and make sure he was like showered and clean and I would cook for him,
I would massage him, I would put on his favorite show, and then I would finally get to cuddle showered and clean and I would cook for him. I would massage him
I would put on his favorite show and then I would finally get to cuddle with him and sleep with him
Side note this man's favorite show is Dateline which is a true crime series on NBC
Which Jane talks about and Dateline actually did an video on Diddy they did an episode on Diddy
But it has since been taken down off of most platforms and it's not because Jane is like, yeah
His favorite shows Dateline so they thought let's take it down
It's because Combs filed a hundred million dollar defamation lawsuit against NBC and Peacock for a separate
Documentary that they did on him did he the making of a bad boy?
So that Dateline video is very hard to find wait. He loves to watch Dayline, which he loves True Crime.
Yes.
And they made a video on him after the Cassie lawsuit, Cassie lawsuit and all of
that. And then he filed for.
Yes. They also made a documentary, The
Diddy, Making of a Bad Boy, and he sued them.
Yes. For a hundred million dollars.
And like, while I do think that defamation lawsuits are legitimate,
and it's very serious with the day and age of the internet,
people can go online and say all sorts of crazy things about public figures.
However, however, I always find it so fascinating when defendants that are accused of really heinous crimes
are suing people for large sums of money for defamation.
I just think it's an interesting way that the world works.
It's just weird.
It always makes me go, oh, that's weird.
Just saying.
Now, another incident Jane distinctively remembers.
This is back in 2021.
She says, I remember Sean said that he had someone
coming over and he invited this man over
and honestly
I was like immediately repulsed by him. Jane is repulsed by this entertainer. Do you remember where you were?
I was on the bed. I was in the hotel room
I just remember that he was really sweaty and I just thought he didn't look nice and that he kind of smelled and I just
Remember I was very hesitant with him. I just kind of tried to make it work
I try to kind of seduce him and like with my body and try to I don't know just make some sort of attraction happen
And it just wasn't like I just remember him sweating so much and I was kind of throwing looks at my partner
Like I wasn't feeling this I try to touch his chest
I try to bring him closer to me and I remember Sean saying things like if I want to taste it or if I want
to do something with him and I was just
trying to move around that subject and was trying to find different ways of I don't know.
She ends up telling Diddy that she's not feeling this and it's just not something that she can get
into. Diddy proceeds to lay her down and starts having intimate relations with her all the while
this guy is still around and he's just hovering on top of her while Combs is having intimate relations with her.
Combs keeps telling her to look at this man's private part while he is sweating on her.
Eventually, Combs dismisses the guy and brings in a second guy, Paul.
And this time, maybe in an attempt to make sure Jane does not say no again, when Paul comes in, Jane is blindfolded.
This seems like a detail that the jurors do not overlook. Their brows are furrowed, they're scrunched together,
they start taking notes.
Combs is doing these little quick glances at the jurors.
He does this when he tries to get their reaction.
He's not nodding at them.
He's not shaking his head.
He's just kind of like glancing at them
to see how they're reacting to these types of news.
It's like very quick.
Just like with Cassie,
a lot of these hotel nights were filmed.
Jane says Combs would convince her
that it was just for him,
it was just for the two of them,
to film these hotel nights
so that they can look back on these memories.
And there are exhibits shown,
which are screenshots of these hotel nights.
The jurors are showing them,
the gallery is not showing them, rightfully so.
But I think this is the part where the jurors have pretty interesting reactions.
I mean, it's just exhibit after exhibit after exhibit, and I think the gravity starts to hit the jurors.
Every single juror appears to be frozen. None of them are taking notes.
They're frozen, they're staring, which at this point, this is before any of the footage has been showed.
By the time that you're hearing this, I mean it's all over the news, they're playing like an hour
worth of video footage from these nights to the jurors. this is like a lot and some
of them have their heads rested in their hands, others have their eyebrows raised,
others are just staring with like a scowl, like a very concerned look. there's
no audible gasp or reaction.
You just see a lot of tension. One juror in particular has their arm propped up on the armrest
and their hand is on their forehead, but it's almost like at any moment they're going to scooch
it down and cover their eyes. It feels like every person, prosecutor, defense attorney, they're all
just looking at the jurors to gauge their reactions.
Meanwhile, Combs is frozen the whole time, his eyes are looking at Teni's notebook,
just staring at her documents. It is likely that he was prepped on what to do in this moment,
which is exactly this, because I don't think that he's reading anything, registering anything in his
mind at this moment. There are other times where he looks at the defense team's notes, and he looks
like a little kid trying to cheat off of your homework, like he's actually studying them,
but at this occasion he's just staring, but I don't think anything is processing. I think he
was told not to look at the jurors at this moment. A lot of these videos of the hotel nights would be
re-watched during what Jane calls a movie night. Between Sean and I, we would have these things
called movie nights where we would not have an entertainer and we
would just watch pornography or we would watch one of our older tapes or newer
tapes and we would just roleplay and fantasize and that's what we call a movie
night. But also with others, text messages are shown to the jurors and Jane gives
more context. Sometimes Combs would be with other women and would need to get
excited intimately so he would watch videos of her with Jane with another man.
Interestingly, if this is true, that means he really cannot or does not like to get
excited without having this cuck element, if you will. Jane explains it was just a
pattern of his to be with another woman and then text me in the middle of the
night requesting these videos, to which at one point Jane declines to send him the video and he texts her,
the fuck? I got the phones. I'm asking you to send me what I don't have. Just do what
I say please. I'm horny. To which Jane responds, you're using my videos to get your dick hard
for someone else. Combs responds, bye. I was just asking you to send me something to watch.
That's it. Good night. He sends her another message.
Tell me when you can come tomorrow.
At this point, Combs cheek in his palm
like a pouty kid listening to these text messages
like he's not the one that sent them.
Jane reads her message out loud.
I'm not coming to New York.
I feel disrespected that you have to unnecessarily
brag online that you fucked for 48 hours straight
on a trip that you said you were asleep on.
And then you text me that you're horny and need my videos to get your dick hard to fuck someone else
it's clear you just want me there to use me for hotel binge and you have plenty of hoes for that
wait 40 wait what what did she just say let me explain so jane explains to the jurors that she
had seen a podcast episode where combs is on the podcast bragging about going on a trip with another woman and how they were intimate for 48 hours straight.
I think that this I think it was in a very specific podcast episode that they have now
taken down that part.
The rest of the podcast episode is still up but that part is gone.
Okay and what is the podcast?
Um yeah we're gonna get into it.
So he tells her that he goes on this trip with this other woman
And they were not engaged in intimate activities
He was asleep the whole time he was tired
Then they post a podcast episode and they're talking about how they were doing intimate relations with each other for 48 hours straight
At this point Kome starts fidgeting with his collar and his eyes are just like fixated on Maureen Comey
The jurors don't appear to have any sort
of revelation or connecting of the dots moment. Press pews, public pews, everybody's jotting
notes down because it's pretty clear most of us know what podcast Jane is referring
to. It is titled Young Miami and Diddy Talk Their Relationship Status Dating Love Records
and More on Carisha Please. There is another episode in reference to some of this stuff.
It's another episode of Carisha Please But Carisha is Young Miami's name.
Now, Young Miami was part of the City Girls
and this podcast was posted June of 2022.
This is before the lawsuit, before the charges,
before the arrest, before anybody knew anything
about Diddy's personal life.
She was actually Combs' latest public relationship
to his, prior to his arrest.
It seems like Combs would have public facing girlfriends, latest public relationship to his prior to his arrest.
It seems like Combs would have public facing girlfriends like Kim Porter, Cassie, Young Miami.
And then it seems like he had a ton of girlfriends
that were either influencers,
just like women that were not publicly known.
And he would not want it to get out
that they were perhaps seeing each other.
Now, Young Miami and Combs went to the last Met Gala together that he was able to go to
and there's a lot of interesting theories about Young Miami's relationship with Combs.
Some people think that she participated in freak-offs because she had white nails.
Some people think that she didn't and that this was literally just like a PR relationship.
So there's people have lots of opinions,
but the podcast, to give you an overview,
Carisha introduces her podcast guest, Diddy,
as the one and only Mr. Billionaire Dick Diddy.
He literally cannot stop smiling.
And it's crazy because like you can see
some of these aspects of him come out in court.
Like they almost, they have like spurts
where he's very cocky, his
body language is like I'm the man of the house body language, but then he reserves it and
he brings it back in.
But when you watch this podcast episode, she introduces him and he says the motherfucking
one and only what's up.
Like he's very like, fuck yeah, that's me.
Okay?
No, to be really fair, I don't know if they were ever even confirmed to be dating,
but for example, in the podcast, Carisha asks him, so what the fuck do you have going on?
What's your relationship status?
Combs responds, I'm single.
I'm single, but I'm dating.
I'm just taking my time with life.
So she's like, so what are we?
We date, we're dating.
We go and have dates.
We're friends.
We go to exotic locations. We have great times. we go to strip clubs, we go to church.
Church? Church, I'm gonna take you to church.
Now mind you, Jane appears to testify that she's watching and listening to this podcast because Combs tells her that their relationship is strictly PR.
Oh.
Carisha asks in the podcast, do you consider yourself toxic? Would you say you're toxic?
I would say that it gets toxic.
I'm not trying to be toxic though, but you are toxic.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think at times, but I'm not trying to give that.
Are you a cheater?
Combs leans forward, puts his elbows on his knees in the podcast, not in the courtroom.
I think that, okay, like a lot of his businessman poses, you'll see it on this podcast. And he looks at Carisha. I used to be a cheater. I'm not a cheater no more. I'm a truth-teller now honest
I'm gonna give it to you honest
I ain't trying to be lying ducking hiding hurting nobody's feelings know that
Which side note Carisha also asked in this podcast missionary or doggie style
He says missionary because he likes to look people in the eyes
Which is ironic because multiple of the entertainers have said that he's very
dodgy with eye contact. In fact, they are warned before, ahead of time, to not make
eye contact with combs in the corner. He also tells her that he's gonna drop 250k
taking her on a shopping spree. $250,000. In a separate podcast,
Carisha says that she loves when guys pee on her, which a lot of the comments at the Times were saying things like,
her relationship with Pee Diddy makes so much sense now, but now after the trial, people are saying,
oh, that is reminiscent of when Cassie was told to be urinated on by the entertainer.
So there's like, there's sub-conspiracies of how involved Young Miami was involved in the lifestyle, if was a victim in any of this but does not want to come forward if she's not
I don't know if that's like the main conversation to be having but it is out there
Now, Jane references in the testimony that Combs had said in this podcast, like, you made Papa proud because they went 48 hours on a yacht trip to this exotic location and
they were doing it for like 48 hours straight.
It's not in the original podcast anymore.
We did try to spend some time looking for it,
but I don't know if it's necessarily that pertinent.
Now, the podcast interview,
what did Sean say on that podcast interview?
Jane responds, on the podcast interview,
he was bragging about how he had intimate relations
for 48 hours straight.
When he has told her, quote,
he was saying that there was no sex involved
during this trip, that it's not like that
It wasn't a big deal and it was just a quick turnaround trip and just kind of downplayed the whole thing
Combs starts shaking his head no at this point Jane explains that Combs promised her that
She was gonna have this exact same yacht trip, but after a two-day hotel night
They were so tired that all they did afterwards. They didn't go on the yacht. They just rest sleep recover
He keeps promising all of these things and then he hangs a hotel night over her head hired that all they did afterwards, they didn't go on the yacht, they just rest, sleep, recover.
He keeps promising all of these things and then he hangs a hotel night over her head
and then when they're done, he doesn't follow through.
Then a few weeks later, he takes, allegedly, Young Miami on another yacht trip and Jane
says that after seeing this podcast, she quote, voice my frustrations and my hurt from seeing
that.
But again, Combs just dismisses her feelings just texting her,, girl that was podcast talk, I haven't even had sex.
Meanwhile, the jurors are leaning forward.
Many of them are reading these messages because yeah, it does sound kind of dismissive.
Later, he invites her to another hotel night and he's just convincing her.
He's further explaining how the trip was nothing and just trying to calm me down and
saying that they didn't even have intimate relations, it was nothing, it was so quick,
it was so short and how hard it was to even have intimate relations on a boat
and just downplaying it.
Combs is again shaking his head no.
Now the biggest thing that the government has to prove to the jurors is that Jane was
coerced into having these hotel nights with Combs.
The problem is, because Combs has been so dismissive about her saying anything about
how she doesn't want a hotel night, She doesn't get to have these elaborate conversations with him where she's like, hey, I don't want
to do this.
That is why the government brings in her notes apps.
Like you know, on the notes app on your phone, you can make like a journal entry.
So they bring that in as evidence of state of mind and they're able to get this admitted. That is pretty interesting. Yeah. I remember somewhere someone said like, even if you delete
it, they can still. Yeah. Is that what happened or, or just the fact that they pull up her notes app?
I think they pulled it up and I think forensic analysts were able to confirm that it was not
edited after a certain date and that it was actually created on the dates that it said to have been created
That is so I'm sure they do their due diligence
So it seems like this was written at the time that they say it was
Now the government is able to get this admitted into evidence and then they ask and then after you wrote your thoughts and your feelings
Out in your notes. What did you do with what you had written in those notes?
Sometimes I would feel better just getting it out and writing it.
Sometimes I would just have the courage
to actually send it to him.
November 26th, 2022.
So this is one year before Cassie's lawsuit is filed.
Once this note is admitted into evidence,
Combs is so close to that evidence screen,
he's basically eyeballs touching.
I mean, it's a little dramatic, but you get it.
He's looking for Waldo.
Jane reads out the note.
I don't want to do drugs for days and days and have you use me to fulfill your freaky wild desires in hotel rooms
Jane says that she wrote this because after every hotel night He always made her feel like they were gonna spend quality time together just after the hotel night
But it would never happen
Jane says that she wrote this in her notes app because she doesn't have the courage a lot of the times to even text
most of this to combs
Then another one from December 12, 2022. Even with
this one, Combs is like all the way leaning in reading this message and he kind of gives himself
a self-hug. His right arm is on his left shoulder and you can see his fingers tapping with each word
that Jane is saying of the notes. Jane reads, but for what? You want to call me for what? You're gonna ask me to come over to put you to bed because you were partying with another girl the night before?
Ask for foot rubs and sleep until the next day to take another girl on a date or ask me to come over because you want escapism or debauchery?
Keep me up for three days straight and then send thousands of roses and cars and jewelry and private island trip date nights for someone else and leave me to clean up my house and recover alone?
I'm done being used by you.
You are hurtful and damaging for me.
I have to pull away from you because you have just crossed too many lines.
You want me to call you for what?
So you can convince me to come over around you and what?
Put you to bed and give you foot rubs because you were fucked up from partying with whoever
the night before?
Have me just sit there while you're calling, texting, facetiming, and sending voice notes to other girls, or have me locked up in my hotel or
trash my house for a three-day dirty escapism binge, have me do all of that just to turn
around to leave me and clean up and recover on my own while you buy thousands of things
for other women.
I'm done being used by you, I don't feel good around you, and I need to stay away from
you.
Side note, sometimes the hotel nights would be at Jane's house,
so she would have to clean up all of it by herself.
So she's coming down from drugs, she's cleaning up all this baby oil,
and she says, just trying not to think too much about what just happened
and the reality of me being alone cleaning up after this and how that would affect me.
Another note from February 22nd, 2023.
You lied straight to my face. You didn't care what I would see or how it would hurt me.
All you wanted was another hotel night and use me before your trip like you've been doing
to me for the past two years.
I've deprived myself of romance, love, travel, deep meaningful connections, and sitting back
patiently watching you do all the things I wish you would do for me.
You lied because you wanted to use me for the night.
You lied.
I can't get this image of you lying to my face out of my head.
You lied so you could use me for that night.
You lied because you knew you had a whole vacation planned.
You lied and said you had no time for me because you were stressed from work.
Kome starts rubbing his temples with his hand while studying the document.
Then another entry from September 15th, 2023.
This is two months before Cassie's lawsuit drops
and almost exactly a year to the date
before Diddy's arrest.
She writes in her notes,
As much as I want to see you, I don't want to come there and be treated like a hoe in
a hotel room for the millionth time.
I don't want to come to New York just to be treated like this hoe.
As much as I want to see you, I just know what you want me out there for.
It doesn't make me feel good.
You got other women available who are willing to do that. I think that you guys and I, perhaps from covering so many true crime cases and just staying really well informed,
I think that we tend to have a really good understanding of why victims do not leave allegedly abusive relationships.
I think that we also have a good understanding of like even how the dynamics in like a cult work.
Obviously, standing from the the outside we can all walk
up and down the street patting ourselves on the back being like yeah i'm too smart to fall for a
cult that can't ever be me. but you don't really know a lot of cults don't prey on people that are
at the height of their lives or at the height of their autonomy and self-esteem. usually they look
for very specific types of people and abusive relationships operate in similar ways and I'm not alleging anything about the
Combs enterprise is even reminiscent of a cult but I will say there were jarring moments where we're in the courtroom
We see a lot of these ex-assistance testifying and the way that they have so much
emotionally complicated
relationships with Combs is so it is reminiscent of like when we hear
people who escape from a cult testifying or doing interviews it's complicated they they think
everything that's happened to them is the worst thing that could happen but at the same time they
still harbor some love and they say that time i grew a lot. It's just so complex and there's so much
nuance in these dynamics. But I will say when you go online or when you go on the
street, I don't know if most of society sees those things. I mean even Cassie's
testimony, it was polarizing to some members of society and jurors are
supposed to be reflections of society and I don't want to assume or tell you
what the jurors are thinking because I'm not a mind society and I don't want to assume or tell you what the jurors are thinking because
I'm not a mind reader. I don't know any of these people personally. I don't know what they're thinking
I don't know what a smirk means to them. They could literally be smirking about something unrelated a distant memory
However, I will tell you what I've observed and I will say that there are certain moments throughout Jane's testimony
And I think even the defense catches on to this because
during the cross-examination they hone in on these topics. I think there are certain topics that the
jurors may not like. So for example, I think that some of the jurors maybe they can understand Jane
up to a certain point in some of the experiences she shares. So for example in 2023
Jane goes to Miami to celebrate her birthday with Combs. This is February of 2023. Cassie's lawsuit is November of 2023.
So this is prior. She says that she's just bubbling with excitement because it's finally supposed to be this romantic moment with Sean Combs
and she says, I just expected quality time with my partner just a birthday celebration dinner us sex togetherness
I remember we were at dinner, and I was dressed up for him
We were at a sushi place, and I was really just happy to be around my lover
And he was just so loving and sweet as always and then he starts to tell me and I'm so excited to see what entertainment is tonight
Something like that
How did you react when Sean brought up entertainment?
I just gulped like like I had this like gulp moment like something was stuck in my throat like because Something like that. How did you react when Sean brought up entertainment?
I just gulped, like, ugh, like I had this like gulp moment like something was stuck in my throat, like because I didn't expect that.
I said, entertainer, like I was just kind of, I didn't really have the words and he was like, well it's your birthday, I thought you just wanted to have fun for your birthday, it's your birthday, we should try something for your birthday.
After the birthday dinner, he gives her a birthday necklace.
And right after, a man comes into the hotel room.
Jane says, I just remember at this point in our relationship,
this just had become so routine that it was the same rhythm,
almost like robotically, and just the same thing, just small talk.
I'm in lingerie, I'm flirting with the guy,
and I'm just getting things comfortable and nice in the moment.
She says that she just wanted to be someone else, turn into someone else.
Quote, just somebody who can just perform,
just tune into somebody that can just do this
and just get into it.
I just remember we were much quicker.
I was much quicker with this person.
I didn't know him.
He felt more like a stranger to me more than anyone.
And I just felt like it was even more invasive
of a moment because it was my birthday
and I didn't want to do this on my birthday.
And I sat there, I was already on the couch.
I just wanted to get into position
to have intimate relations so that we could just get it over with
Jane says that she asks combs for protection and he starts getting very upset
Quote I remember Sean giving me these really bad looks like these really dirty looks like shaking his head like you better not ask
For a fucking condom like I remember those words out of his mouth. I could just read it
She starts sobbing through her responses
I just try to play it off like I didn't see it and I just I take his energy and mouth. I could just read it. She starts sobbing through her responses.
I just try to play it off like I didn't see it and I just...
I take his energy and like I didn't react to it because he was right in front of me
and this man was in between and like trying to get ready to...
And I didn't want to like sour the mood.
This is on her birthday. Why didn't you want to sour the mood?
Because I just...I just didn't want my partner to be unhappy with me.
Combs grabs her protection, hands it to them them and the man starts having intimate relations with Jane, but Combs is not having it
She says he hated it. He was just like walking away. He was so disinterested even while this was happening
He just seemed so disappointed in what was happening, and it just made me feel really really bad
I just wanted it to be over the man leaves Jane thinks it's over now
They end up switching to a different hotel
room, like a hotel suite, bigger. And what happened when you got to the bigger suite?
I remember Sean was, he shifted his energy, he was more loving, he was celebratory, he had a surprise
for me at the table of that suite, and it was cake, flowers, I think there was another bracelet,
and just drinks and balloons, and he made that suite look really nice for me when we got there.
After that, we just had a bit of rare alone time and then I don't even know
how I don't even remember but then Cabral comes. I remember when Cabral came
it was just hours and hours of that. Hours and hours of what, Jane?
Intimate relations, foreplay, pleasing, just doing so much, just doing all of it.
I don't even know how long Cabral was there. I don't know if there's multiple
rounds, I don't know, but by the time he left it was morning.
After Cabal left, what if anything do you remember Sean saying to you? That dawn
was coming? How did you react when you heard that dawn was coming? I reacted
like it was nothing, but inside I hated it. Why did you react like it was nothing
if you hated it? Because I love my partner. I just... a juror in the very first
row at this
point a lot of the press are trying to get a better look at them because it
appeared that they were crying but it turned out to be allergies so it's like
I said it's very hard to interpret but Jane continues with her testimony she
says that after all of this he just up in leaves leaves her in the hotel room
and goes on vacation with another girl she says it broke my heart because I just finished spending my birthday with all these guys having intimate relations with me
and then just for my partner to leave and do such a romantic gesture for someone else,
it also happened to be that woman's birthday around the same time.
We don't know who though.
Alleged the young Miami.
She does confront him in a text later and he just responds coldly,
because I didn't feel like telling you what I was doing with somebody else
You had your birthday and I didn't tell her what I was doing with you
and that's the way I want to keep it
Thank you, love, hope you have a great dinner
Jane says the big betrayal too is that he took her to Turks and Caicos
which is exactly where she wanted to go back with him
since that's where they went on their first vacation
She texts him about how hurt she is and he just responds
You look like you had a great party and we had a good time stay in the light
She responds. It really feels like you use me to get off and then you go away for a week
I've been staying in the light and staying strong about it, but this is my truth and how it makes me feel
I'd like to get off the hamster wheel and just do something different with you. I deserve it, too
But of all places you pick Turks. how can I not feel that way?
When are we having a getaway?
You've promised me this for years.
All we do is hotel and it's sad.
It's just not fair to me.
I didn't want to do all of that on my birthday.
You knew how tired I was.
You knew how tired and I just kept a good attitude about it.
I come home to see you on a trip that I've been dying for
to the only place I've been wanting to go back with you
because it was our first trip. I'm off it because it's just making me cry. It's been two years of waiting
and I'm just frustrated and feeling sad.
Jane is emotional. She's tearing up. She's heavy gasping as she's collecting herself while reading these messages.
What were you referring to when you said you knew how tired I was? He knew that after three guys that I was tired.
He texts her back. Let's not do anything anymore. Sorry, tired of you throwing sex in my face. Whack.
I can't handle you comparing yourself with another woman. That's why I lie in the first place. So
let's just be friends. She responds. I would never make you feel how you're making me feel right now.
I don't throw sex in your face constantly, but the type of nights we have are nights that require
everything out of me. For 30 or 40 hours straight I figured on my birthday you would switch it up for me and what you're doing right now is exactly the switch up I asked for.
How are you treating me so cold and you're really making me feel used right now and you're breaking up with me?
Is that really what you want? Be clear now so I can see things for what they really are and I can see you for who you really are."
He doesn't respond and she texts. I feel terrible right now.
I have been nothing but patient.
No headaches, no stress.
Give you whatever you want, whenever you want it.
I don't stress you about anyone or anything.
I show up when you want and how you want it.
You're the only man in my life and you're the only man in my life and I don't entertain
anybody else.
Choosing to lie on my birthday feels like you really tried to trick me.
You could have just been honest and it wouldn't have been such a blow to me.
Why am I the only one who always seems to get the shorter end of everything and less
of an experience, but yet I feel like I'm asked to do the most.
And now I'm seeing you on this trip and I can't help but feel taken advantage of and
taken for granted for and lied to."
He just responds,
Let's be friends because I can't take this part.
For real, I'm done with you comparing yourself to someone else, I treat you good and if you don't feel so, let's just be friends because I'm tired of these long texts telling me what I'm doing wrong.
How is treating me good telling me for years that we're going on a trip and ask me for patience all these years then lie on
my birthday and take someone else somewhere I wanted to go? How is that treating me good?
Every woman in your life has enjoyed this with you, but me. Why? I don't't I give you everything you want what am I doing wrong I feel like I do everything right by you and I still get lied to or I get treated less than why have we just taken things too far now you look down on me you're breaking my heart by asking to be friends like I'm nothing to you he responds you just had a great dinner anything you asked me for I've done we miss each other." Okay so there's a few
things I think that I mean just like the commentary that I also see online it
feels like some people can't get over the fact that based on just these text
messages it seems that she is more upset about him taking another woman to Turks
and Caicos versus the actual hotel night. Now I feel like if you read in between the
lines and you read some of these messages, I think it's the fact that he
has normalized hotel nights likely, allegedly, presumably, in my personal
opinion, not legally, maybe he has normalized to her hotel nights are
normal. This is like Hollywood life. This is what we do. And he's, anytime she brings up
that she doesn't wanna do it,
he's kinda shutting her down to make her feel like,
oh, this is just what happens, perhaps,
and convinces her, perhaps even coerces her
into these types of environments.
And she's hurt because it's dawning on her
that maybe hotel nights are not normal.
Like maybe she's being coerced into doing something
that's not normal and it shouldn't be normalized.
That's kind of what I think is happening.
And I will say that there are lots of misconceptions
about sex trafficking.
I think when this word keeps coming up during the trial,
people envision girls being kidnapped at a target,
put into a trunk, sold on the dark web,
and kept chained up somewhere.
And I do think that that does absolutely happen.
A great majority, however, of sex trafficking is more psychologically binding than physically.
Sex traffickers would typically start off by dating their victims.
That's exactly okay. So this is how I feel, right? I feel like what's the what's missing from this
whole thing is throughout these hotel nights, he is this person that's keep on luring her back
with his charisma, like making promise, being romantic,
saying these things, and then she's always caught very off guard
at the very last minute, like, oh, so that's still what you want.
But even though this happened over and over,
he's still charming her back into his arms,
like, hey, I know, I love you.
I want to be with you.
But instead, does that make sense?
Like, yes.
But I think there's additionally on top of that, there's other elements of the sex
trafficking of.
Let's say you meet someone on the Internet and they are a sex trafficker.
The way that they get their victims is to romance them, get them to fall in love
and then ease them into believing that sex work is a good idea.
Like it's something that everyone will enjoy.
It's something that will make them happy.
Now once these women or these victims start engaging in that line of work, there is usually
a push to get them addicted to drugs.
That seems like an inference that the government keeps making of like, he keeps giving them drugs.
He gives them drugs so that they can go through these hotel nights.
Then there's added elements of physical violence, and this is just sex trafficking in general.
Then there's the degradation of the victim's self-esteem. It's like, well, what are you gonna do?
No one's ever gonna date you again. No one's ever gonna respect you again.
You're so far deep, There's no coming out of this
There's potential blackmail that all starts coming into play if you try to leave
I'm gonna show your parents what you've been doing. So you're not always kidnapped
It's not that you can't call 9-1-1
But you're still a victim of sex trafficking like there is a reason that sex traffickers employ the psychological Romeo romancing strategy
reason that sex traffickers employ the psychological Romeo romancing strategy
more than physically chaining someone up because it works and it seems like if you really look at Jane's testimony that's what's happening he's promising her things he's romancing her and then
he's giving her drugs allegedly supplying drugs having these hotel nights and there are videos in
his possession of them doing these things.
so it seems like there's a lot of consistent elements. then a week or so later, presumably
back from his vacation, combs texts her, hello hello good morning i miss you what are you doing
let me make it up to you i don't deserve a chance you're taking this too far now let me make it up
to you. she does not respond and eventually they make up and combs promises to redo her entire
birthday celebration and promises to redo her entire birthday celebration
And promises to take her to turks and keikos for the second time
Even that becomes a large issue when she lands in miami before turks and keikos they go out to dinner
They take a pill head back to the hotel and jane sighs and explains to the jury
We're just together just us and watching pornography and then just like in the middle of my high. He says do you want dawn?
Jane says that she disagreed because she could tell that that's what would make him happy. They stay up all night
with Don and then they get to Turks.
They stay up at Turks having intimate relations just like on a drug binge and the next morning when they finally wake up Jane says
that she could sense that Combs is getting so bored and she feels bad for him and she explains after that first day I really can't remember how but Paul started coming to Turks
Paul is another entertainer
they get him a hotel room in the same resort, Jane and Combs are in a villa
they go to Paul's hotel room and they have a hotel night and on the way back Jane remembers being happy
because she says I've been down and I was just so excited that I just got to cuddle with him and he he gets this like look that
he still wants more and he's like saying do you have more in you and I'm like I
mean I guess I don't know I didn't really hesitate too much but I wasn't
like screaming for it and I just remember he calls Paul and invites Paul
to our villa. Paul comes to the villa and before Paul came I remember Sean
giving me a really beautiful bracelet,
and I was so happy, and it meant a lot to me that he gave me this really sweet bracelet.
It had two hearts on it, and I remember I embraced him, I thanked him, I was super happy about it,
and I felt really loved by him.
And then Paul comes in, and Paul is really nice, but I was tired.
They try.
But this is what Jane believes might have been their fourth round at this point, and she was just in so much pain.
She says,
I just don't really remember if I said anything, but I just remember Sean giving me more like lube and trying to lube me up a bit.
And I just remember he said something that really upset me, like,
Oh, you can't take any more D or something like that, and just pissed me off so bad.
And I remember I took off my bracelet, and I threw it against the wall, and I said,
You only brought me here to S.D. for you, and then I stormed out of the villa
Jane says that she has no idea she had no idea that the Turks and Keiko's trip would devolve into this whole
Hotel night, but even after she storms out Combs is chasing after her and he's demanding
He's like this is all he cares about quote. I remember him saying like are you crazy like how can you make me look like that?
in front of Paul?
Combs tells Jane that she needs to apologize to Paul, that she owes Paul an apology.
So she texts Paul, and this is from Jane to Paul.
Thanks again for coming over last night. It had been 24 hours with no breaks from me,
and at first I was going with the flow for the second link up,
but I warned him that I just felt so overwhelmed to over perform for a moment I've never done before.
I'm not a robot
It's just a mix of tired hungry sleepy sore
And then I guess because she has nowhere to vent she starts mass texting Paul Turks was supposed to be us reconnecting again
We didn't speak for one and a half months because of how he handled me on my birthday
This was our first time seeing each other and I didn't want to be with anyone else but him
But those are things he wanted and yes
I agreed because I know it makes him happy
and like I like when he's happy but he overdoes it sometimes. It's been two years back to back
on this and I just want some time alone to reconnect and as soon as we do half the trip
has been dedicated to just that. So why is it that some jurors look like they're not as engaged
and immersed in her testimony when there's clearly emotional moments. And I think it's truly just the deep need for some people to want victims to be perfect
victims.
To some jurors, there are speculations that Jane just does not come off likeable, and
maybe that confuses them.
There are extensive conversations throughout direct and especially on the cross that we're
going to get to in the next episode about traveling and vacations
and Jane testifies that she's really really hurt
that every time she does a hotel night,
Combs whisks another girl off on vacation.
She just wants to spend quality time with him.
She talks about how they just, she just keeps taking other girls.
And sometimes it comes off, I guess, to some jurors as like not-
Superficial? Yes superficial yes like perhaps I think
that's not what it is though I feel like it's more emotional like Sean Combs keep
promising it's like Romeo right he completely charmed her with this
romantic thing but instead you know like that's what what it is but I do think
that's the tricky part of finding the jury for a case like this I think that sometimes I
Could see if someone really wanted to feel a certain way they could say well, I don't get to take vacations
I can barely pay rent and you're crying that he took someone else to Turks and Caicos. Yeah
Yeah, I've never even been to Turks and Caicos. I've never even left the country
Yeah, yeah. I've never even been to Turks and Caicos. I've never even left the country
So I do think that there are certain moments where maybe it seems just from the observable reactions
That some jurors do seem really sensitive to materialistic conversations or even money
Jane would say things like I saw that the woman had a private jet that he had booked a villa on a nice island with her and her friends and just did such a beautiful birthday celebration for this woman.
Again, that's allegedly...Yell Miami. Yeah. And then she'll text him things like, then you use me up for yet another hotel night and get on your jet and go on an island vacation
for five days to Turks, a place I've been begging you for. Anything outside these hotels, I'm a joke to you.
This is about you finally treating me like a human being, a lady,
romanced, spending quality time, laughing togetherness,
not just someone you call on a Friday to use and leave me to go treat another
woman with more integrity." So on the surface, I guess it could be
taken by some jurors that she's crying about not going to
Turks and cake ghosts. But clearly she says it's deeper than that.
she says, just slept with three men that I didn't want to sleep with. So yes, it was very hurtful in that sense,
not because of his relationship with them,
but because of how it made me feel after
and during something like that.
But again, I don't know how much that resonates
with some jurors.
Even when talking about her first vacation with Combs,
she says that she was super excited
that he was taking her to Turks and Caicos
because I had never been to Turks. But I do recall in that moment where she's Caicos because I had never been to Turks.
But I do recall in that moment where she's like, because I had never been to Turks, there
was like one juror who just is kind of smirking.
Is this the smirking juror?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then another one kind of lightly raises their eyebrows while taking notes because I
mean, yeah, I don't think most of us have ever been to Turks.
So it just, I guess- Where is Turks?
I don't even know where Turks and Kikos is.
Just a very famous vacation spot.
Yeah, it's like, I guess it's up there with like Mykonos and Bora Bora, very isolated,
very expensive to even get there.
So I mean, I guess maybe some of the jurors could potentially be rubbed the wrong way over that.
I also do think because they are hypersensitive to money conversations thus far, Jane's testimony and especially her cross-examination
there's so much money talk.
Jane talks about how one of the bigger wires that she receives from Sean Combs is
$20,000 and it's because she had just moved into a new house and she needed furniture.
Which that's a lot of money for furniture
And I think Sean Combs knows this because he keeps glancing at the jurors
Even the reaction from the gallery is like, oh, that's a lot
But because the house that Jane chose was very large
The budget wasn't enough and Jane explains that she opened up three credit cards and went into debt to furnish the house
so Combs is glancing at the jurors, and I think the jurors, at least appearance-wise,
they don't seem very sympathetic about that.
Side note, there's also a lot of emphasis later on the fact that Combs pays for James'
rent, which is $10,000 a month, which is a lot.
Now in another part, Jane says that she asked Combs for more money for the house because quote
I needed more money to create like just comfort in the house is really sparse
Combs is staring at the jury like are you hearing this? She wants furniture. So she deserves this like clearly
Like that's he's not saying it
But it just that's the look that it's giving and it's very interesting at which times
He glances at the jurors with that much confidence and it's always around these like money conversations, especially during Jane's testimony
Now something that I just want to put into perspective. I think when the jurors hear $10,000 a month
It's a lot of money. I think when any of us hear that it's a lot of money
However, just to give you an idea in in March of 2023, Combs was reportedly worth close to 740 million dollars, which means
$10,000 a month to him is.001351% of his total wealth. So if you compare that
with the average Americans net worth, the equivalent would be like spending $2.61.
$2.61. So it's, I mean, yeah, it's a lot of money, but to him, it's no money
at all. I mean, to give you even more perspective on this, the average American spending $10
would be the equivalent of Sean Combs spending $38. That's almost four months and he's spending what feels like to us like $10
But I do think that aside from that sometimes the text messages
I can see maybe how it's difficult for some jurors perhaps to listen to Jane even mentions that she's asking Sean combs for money because quote
Because I was just home in this big house with no furniture and I still wanted to get furniture around this time
Just to take
up a bit of my time.
The defense will later bring up another text message thread from Jane to Combs where she texts,
Baby love, do you think you could send me something for my birthday festivities, please?
Just want to get a few things in time and also lock in my friends and family dinner that I would love to do.
Let me know. Thank you. I love you so much.
Jane says that year Combs pays for her birthday dinner with all of her friends, but she also uses the money that
he sends over to get a few things. What kind of things did you need for the
birthday dinner? An outfit. I wanted to cover the bill for me and my friends and
just try to have a happy moment in a sad time. How much did you ask him to send
you? 15,000? And that would cover all the outfits in the whole birthday? Yes.
Again, it just seems like maybe it's not gonna be perceived overwhelmingly positively. And there is another moment where the actual courtroom does not seem to have a good reception at all,
because Jane tells prosecutor Comey that she wants to start an OnlyFans,
that she wanted to start this early on in her relationship with Combs. And once the first time she mentions OnlyFans comes up, there's like a, mm, from the gallery.
There's literally, I distinctly recall a scoff.
But also, even Combs has his chin all the way up.
He stretches it like he just woke up from a cat nap and then back down as she brings
up OnlyFans.
And Jane is describing, I remember at the time that was when OnlyFans really started to emerge.
I told Sean that one of my model girlfriends had been really lucrative on the website,
and once I started saying OnlyFans, I remember he was kind of giving me this energy,
like very hesitant and like, no.
Jane says that she would have only done bikini, lingerie, implied nudity.
At one point, Teni turns to Mark Agnifilo while
she's talking about OnlyFans and they're whispering together and all I see is
Teni is full teeth smiling because I don't think the jurors are liking this.
And how much money did you tell Sean you understood you could make if you created
an OnlyFans? I just remember my girlfriend told me that she had made
four million that year and I just knew that if I had joined at that time it
would have been really lucrative for me. But she didn't
because she didn't want to make Combs upset with her so she doesn't join
OnlyFans until 2024. Comey asked her, I want to focus again on January of 2024
how are your finances doing? They were starting to pick back up because I
decided to make an OnlyFans. So a few of the jurors heads they're whipping from
Comey to Jane.
Why did you decide to do that?
I just wanted to reclaim my independence.
And what kind of content did you create?
I created lingerie, swimwear, implied nudity,
those kinds of things.
You said implied nudity, what is that?
Where you have your hand on your body
and just like in like a sexy, suggestive way,
but you're not nude.
She does not create content with others just alone
and this is January of 2024.
She says, I just want to be independent.
I just want to stay on my own two feet.
My decision to join the website was truthfully
because it was something that I needed.
If I could get off that website, I would.
I do think the OnlyFans conversation
constantly was something that the jurors I felt did not
react positively towards because we still live in a society and it seems even
when you go online some people think that Jane did this because she wants
luxury items, she wants vacations, private jets. Others think that she did this
because she knows who Diddy is and she was starstruck and she wanted to be the
next Cassie. Others say she did this because
she was coerced perhaps even through love. I will say there is an audio clip that's played to the
courtroom and it's of Combs and Jane and they are just like they're having a date. Combs is smooching
Jane like you hear like non-stop just kissing noises and she's giggling uncontrollably and he's saying things like I love this right here
And he says we were both in a low funk but in a dark hole Jane came to save him and she is giggling out of her mind
I don't recall the last time I or anyone in my vicinity has giggled like that
What kind of video? Like it's just a... or anyone in my vicinity has giggled like that.
What kind of video? Like it's just a-
Like an audio clip.
I guess there is a video played to the jurors,
but we just hear the audio.
And she just sounds like a love struck teenager.
It's not even like something is so funny.
Like, you know, when you're dying uncontrollably laughing
because something is hilarious, it's not that.
It's not that.
It's a very specific giggle that I think like really you only experience maybe in your like
teenage years when you first fall in love like ever you fall in love like your first
love.
It's like that level of giggle.
She just sounds like she's drunk on love.
Like truly I don't recall any hearing anyone giggle like that before and I think it made a lot of people confused in the courtroom
The whispers in the hallway people are confused. Like does what does this mean?
Was she coerced was she coerced and she just loves him too much
Is it something else and if it already isn't confusing enough with Jane's testimony and I'm not saying it's confusing for me
I'm just saying it's confusing for a lot of people for different reasons
I'm just stating that but um there is a new element that I will say even I was confused by
Comey wants to talk about the day that combs his homes get raided by HSI agents come over to Jane's door
And they also leave a card Jane does not call them back. She calls combs combs doesn't pick up
She calls his security and tells him I said that agents were at my home and they left a
card. And he said, okay, I'm going to get you Sean's lawyer. She meets up with Sean's attorneys,
Mark Agneflou and Tony Garagos. But she also ends up getting her own attorneys later
that are paid for by Sean Combs. And when this information drops,
the jurors, the gallery, everybody is looking at Comey,
but also at Jane and also at Combs
looking slightly confused.
The press pews are all side-eyeing the attorney
sitting right in front of us in the press pews
because now you're telling me
the defendant is paying your bill?
That's so odd.
And Jane, Comey asks,
Jane, when did you first get a lawyer in connection
with the criminal investigation in this case? I believe sometime late in 2024. Who paid for that lawyer?
Sean. Do you still have that same lawyer today?
I do. Who is paying for that lawyer today?
Sean. How have you paid for your rent since Sean was arrested?
Sean still pays for the rent. As of today?
Yes. After Sean was arrested, did you meet
with his defense attorneys? Yes. Did you meet with them multiple times between his
arrest and your testimony at this trial? So after he's arrested, before she
testifies? Yes. Approximately when was the last time you had a meeting with Sean's
defense attorneys? This is in June. She says, I would say in April.
Of this year, yes.
Sitting here today, how do you feel about Sean now?
I just pray for his continued healing
and I pray for peace for him.
And with that, there's so many questions
because what the hell is happening
and why at the end of her direct and at the end of her cross-examination,
when she finally gets off the witness stand after a week of doing this,
why does she both, on her way out, she stops by the prosecutor's table,
seems to hug Comey, then walks towards the defense table and hugs Tenny Garagos?
Like, what kind of hug?
It's like a lean down, like a hug.
What does any of this mean?
We're going to find out in part two of Jane's testimony that will be up in a few days.
So with that being said, we are gearing towards the end of this trial very quickly.
I think that after that video, I, there is a whole Kanye lore video.
And then I honestly think
we're gonna get a verdict sooner rather than later. The defense said that their case in chief will
probably take like maybe a week and then there will be deliberations. So what are your thoughts
on this? Do you think that Jane's testimony, because it seems like they saved up the testimonies. I
think Cassie had to testify first because she was heavily pregnant. She did give birth like right after but it seems like they're saving
They saved Jane's testimony towards the end because the speculation is the prosecution felt like it would have the most impact on the jurors
Do you think that that's what's happening or do you think it's backfiring because people have opinions?
What are yours leave it in the comments and be safe and I will see you in the next one.
