Diddy ex-girlfriend says Combs threatened to stop paying her rent

6/6/2025 5:58

Sean "Diddy" Combs



dismissed requests by one of his former girlfriends to stop

having sex with other men at his behest, and threatened to stop

paying her rent, the woman testified on Thursday at the hip-hop

mogul's sex trafficking trial.

The woman, testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her

privacy, said she was Combs' girlfriend between 2021 and

2024. She is the third woman who prosecutors say was sexually

abused by Combs to take the stand at his trial in Manhattan

federal court, which is in its fourth week.



Combs has



pleaded not guilty



to five counts including racketeering conspiracy and sex

trafficking. He could face life in prison if convicted on all

counts.



Jane, a model and social media influencer, said she felt

"exhilarated" the first time she had sex with a male escort in

front of Combs in May 2021, about five months into their

relationship.



But she said she thought it would be a one-time occurrence.

Instead, she said she had sex with other men in front of Combs

about 90% of the time she saw him.



When she eventually told him she did not want to have sex

with other men anymore, Combs - whose net worth Forbes estimated

at above $1 billion in 2022 - threatened to stop paying her

rent, Jane said.



"He just was dismissive or wanted to move on from the

subject," Jane said.



Jane said she and Combs would call the events with other men

"debauchery" or "hotel nights." Her description of the events

resembled what another former girlfriend of Combs',



Casandra Ventura



, referred to as "Freak Offs."



Ventura, a rhythm and blues singer known professionally as

Cassie, said she participated in "Freak Offs" with Combs and

male sex workers for nearly a decade - at first to please him,

and later because he



blackmailed her



with videos of the encounters.







JUDGE THREATENS TO KICK COMBS OUT OF COURTROOM



Earlier on Thursday, Combs' lawyer Nicole

Westmoreland accused another witness, Ventura's friend Bryana

Bongolan, of falsely testifying that Combs dangled her over

Ventura's 17th-story Los Angeles balcony in September 2016.



Westmoreland suggested Combs was on the East Coast at the

time of the alleged attack.



"You came in here and you lied to the ladies and gentlemen

of this jury, didn't you?" Westmoreland asked.



"I can't agree with you," Bongolan replied.



Under further questioning from prosecutor Madison Smyser,

Bongolan said she did not know the exact date of the incident

but said she had no doubt it took place.



Prosecutors later displayed a text message Ventura sent an

associate on September 30, 2016, stating that Combs' had dangled

Bongolan's feet over the balcony.



Outside the jury's presence following Bongolan's testimony,

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said he had observed Combs

"nodding vigorously" in the jury's direction during

Westmoreland's questioning, and threatened to kick him out of

the courtroom if he did that again.



"There should be no efforts whatsoever to have any

interactions with this jury," Subramanian said.
