Diddy’s former partner Jane recounts testimony on incidents of violent altercations in court.

This article is exclusively available to subscribers of the “Diddy on Trial” newsletter, providing detailed coverage and insights on Sean Combs’ federal trial. On the third and final day of cross-examination, Diddy’s former girlfriend, referred to as “Jane,” addressed the jury regarding her tumultuous relationship with the music mogul, particularly during the aftermath of a significant criminal investigation in 2024. Key points emerged from her testimony. Jane observed a notable shift in Diddy’s behavior after Cassie Ventura, his previous partner, filed a civil lawsuit in November 2023 that accused him of physical and sexual abuse.

Under questioning by defense attorney Teny Geragos, she commented on Diddy’s newfound apologetic nature and increased attentiveness, contrasting it with his previously egotistical demeanor. Jane recounted a pivotal moment in Miami when a CNN broadcast revealed hotel security footage of Diddy assaulting Ventura. She confirmed that such actions were not synonymous with the Diddy she knew, noting that he had never been physically violent towards her up to that point. Despite being advised by friends to break up with him, Jane chose to remain in the relationship.

However, their dynamic changed after the video’s release, leading to a violent altercation about a month later. Jane testified that an argument arose from jealousy over his supposed trip to Turks and Caicos with another woman. During redirect examination by prosecutor Maurene Comey, Jane candidly expressed how Diddy often pressured her for prolonged hotel stays, even when she showed disinterest, causing her emotional distress. The courtroom proceedings experienced a delayed start due to a closed-door discussion among Judge Arun Subramanian and attorneys, the details of which remain undisclosed.

Throughout her testimony, Jane maintained her composure, only showing visible emotion toward the end. Diddy, dressed similarly to the previous day, shared moments of camaraderie with his defense team but was spotted dabbing his eyes during a break, leaving observers curious about the reason behind his apparent emotional response. Moving forward, Jane is done testifying, and the prosecution anticipates calling a new set of witnesses in the upcoming session.
