Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Trial Update: Latest Developments and Key Details from Week 5

Trump will consider pardoning Sean "Diddy" Combs if asked.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the disgraced former hip-hop mogul, is in the midst of the toughest battle he has faced in his career. Combs is on trial for multiple charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison. While he has maintained his innocence throughout, the damning and horrifying testimony continues to pile up. With five weeks of court in the books, four of which were trial testimony, the mountain Combs’ lawyers have to climb to get an acquittal becomes steeper and steeper.

Week 5 in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex crimes trial focused mainly on a new witness, known as Jane. Before those interactions, though, Diddy made waves twice around lunch break on June 5. First, Judge Arun Subramanian scolded Combs after the jurors left, telling him he would be thrown out of the courtroom if he continued to make faces at the jurors, as it could be influential on their decision-making.  Combs also made waves when he turned to the courtroom sketch artist and told them to soften him up a bit in renderings, because he looked like a koala bear in the portraits.

Aside from these two interactions, all eyes were on prosecution witness Jane. Jane dated Diddy off and on from 2021 to 2024. Jane remembered many freakoffs and blackouts. According to USA Today, “Asked who did most of the work during freak offs, Jane said, through tears: ‘Me. It was just all me from start to finish.’ To try and get it over with sooner, ‘I’d try to have sex with them as soon as I could,’ she said, adding she rushed so it could go back to being just her and Combs. But Combs ‘didn’t like that,’ Jane said. Whenever she would try to speed up foreplay, ‘he’d ask me to slow things down,’ she said.”

Jane testified to being given ecstasy when she was tired, so she would continue the sexual encounters. She called her longest freakoff, lasting three straight days with no sleep. She also claimed that Diddy would look “disgusted” when she cried when being forced to engage with people sexually. According to Jane, she was forced to push through multiple sexual encounters with entertainers, and it was Combs who would decide when she could stop. She also claimed there was a time she wanted an entertainer to wear a condom, and Combs would not permit it. As reported by USA Today:

“During the sex sessions with “entertainers,” Jane said it always ended with “them finishing on me.” Jane and Combs would have sex immediately after, and she testified that he wouldn’t let her clean the ejaculation off her body. Jane said, “That’s not what he wanted. He just wanted me to stay like that and have sex with all of that around us.” She said she would usually have to do between one and three rounds with each entertainer, and Combs would dictate how many rounds they would go.

Asked why she felt she needed Combs’ permission to wear a condom when somebody was having sex with her body, she began to cry and replied: “I don’t know. I’m still trying to process that… Because I didn’t want to disappoint my lover,” she said, testifying that if she didn’t follow Combs’ orders, “he would be unhappy. He would just not be in a good mood or satisfied with the night.”

Jane Detailed A Myriad of Freakoffs and Sexual Encounters

Jane had a very long week in the Diddy trial, giving endless testimonies on how she was treated by Combs throughout their relationship. At one point, when she attempted to get him sober because she was worried for his health, he wanted one more hotel party. According to USA Today:

“The freak off took place at L’Ermitage Hotel, she testified. She didn’t use any drugs, but he used ecstasy and cocaine. ‘Too long,’ she said of the length of the party, which she said lasted about 12-18 hours. Jane said she went into the bathroom and threw up, and Combs came in and told her, ‘That’s good. Now you feel better, so let’s go because the third guy is here.’ She then emerged from the bathroom and had sex with the third guy. ‘I hated it so much. I was disgusted, repulsed and so mad at myself for doing that,’ she said on the stand.”

According to Jane, Diddy would frequently request replacement drugs throughout his parties. Texts also revealed that Jane did push back against the freakoffs and expressed directly to Combs in 2023 that she did not want to participate in them anymore. She also recruited an adult entertainer she liked to attend the party, so she had some power over who she had sexual relations with. USA Today revealed that “Jane said Combs encouraged her interest in him, and when she later FaceTimed Sly and things got ‘hot and steamy,’ the music mogul watched on and masturbated.”

Jane spoke on other instances between herself, Diddy, and other escorts as well. He would pay them in cash, or if she paid, he would reimburse her. He would ask her to get images of the private parts while he was off-camera. “I was trying to flirt with[the escort] so he would send explicit videos or photos because that’s what my partner wanted,” Jane shared. She also gave great detail about a sexual encounter she was forced to partake in on her birthday, and shared with the court health problems she encountered from the parties, including back and shoulder pain, UTIs, and yeast infections.

There were multiple instances throughout the testimony where Jane shared times she told Diddy she did not want to participate, or times she straight up refused to have sex with the sex workers that Combs had invited. She also shared text messages between the two parties regarding some of the freakoffs and the money that was paid out. In all, Jane was able to establish both sex trafficking and the beginnings of the racketeering case for the prosecution. The trial continues this week, and more witnesses and bombshell allegations are expected. The story will be updated as the trial continues.
