P. Diddy’s Ex Testifies in Graphic Detail: ‘Freak Off’ Secrets, Sex Trafficking, and Financial Control at Center of Trial

NEW YORK — The criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs continued this week with explosive and often graphic testimony from a woman identified only as “Jane,” a key alleged victim at the heart of federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges against the hip-hop mogul.

Testifying under a pseudonym to protect her identity, Jane described a deeply manipulative and abusive relationship with Combs that blurred the lines between love, coercion, and commercial exploitation. Her testimony, supported by a trove of text messages, audio recordings, and financial documents, is central to the prosecution’s effort to prove that Combs ran a criminal enterprise built on the exploitation and trafficking of women.

Voyeuristic ‘Freak Offs’ and a Pattern of Control

Jane recounted being coerced into countless “freak off” sessions—marathon sexual encounters with Combs and paid male escorts, often lasting 12 hours to several days. She described feeling pressured to participate even when she was sick, exhausted, or in pain. “These weren’t quick sessions,” Jane testified, sometimes breaking down in tears. “They would last for hours, even days. I would get UTIs, yeast infections, back and neck pain. I’d throw up, and he’d tell me, ‘Now you’re ready for the next guy.’”

Jane said she rarely participated in these sessions sober, often taking ecstasy or other drugs at Combs’ insistence. She recalled one instance after a particularly long session when she cried in the shower, only for Combs to look at her with disgust. “I just wanted to make him happy,” she said. “I kept going even when I was hurting because that’s what he wanted.”

Sex Trafficking by Fraud and Financial Leverage

The prosecution focused on establishing sex trafficking not only by force or coercion, but by fraud and manipulation. Jane’s testimony and accompanying messages painted Combs as a “pathological liar” who would promise intimacy or quality time, only for Jane to find herself drawn into another “hotel night” with escorts. “I thought we were going on a date,” she wrote in one note, “but it turned into an 18-hour hotel night.”

Financial control was a persistent theme. Jane described a so-called “love contract,” a gentleman’s agreement in which Combs paid her a $10,000 monthly allowance—an arrangement that continued even after his arrest. The money covered her $10,000 rent, and Combs also paid for her veneers, furniture, and other expenses. The prosecution argued this was part of a pattern of commercial exploitation and control, echoing similar claims made by other alleged victims.

Explicit Audio and Text Evidence

Jurors heard audio recordings of Combs instructing Jane to “get on your job,” which she testified was code for participating in sex acts. “If you don’t, you’ll have a rude awakening,” he warned, a threat Jane interpreted as the loss of her financial security and home. Text messages revealed Jane’s repeated pleas for a break and her distress over being used “just for hotel shit.” In one message, she wrote, “It’s not me you miss or want.”

The jury also saw screenshots and heard descriptions of explicit videos and photos recorded by Combs, which Jane said were always filmed while she was high, never sober. “I just wanted to put on a good show for Shawn,” she said.

Assistance from Combs’ Inner Circle

Jane testified that Combs’ assistants and staff played a role in arranging the “freak off” sessions, booking travel for escorts, and even supplying drugs. She recalled carrying ecstasy for Combs from Los Angeles to Miami at the direction of his assistant. The prosecution is using this evidence to bolster their racketeering case, painting Combs’ business and personal staff as active participants in a criminal enterprise.

A Complicated Relationship and the Question of Consent

The defense is expected to seize on inconsistencies in Jane’s testimony, including her admissions of love for Combs and her continued contact with him. Jane acknowledged that she sometimes arranged for escorts herself, and that she rarely directly refused Combs’ demands. There were also moments where Combs told her she didn’t have to participate, though Jane claimed she never believed him.

Throughout, Jane maintained that she felt compelled to comply with Combs’ wishes out of love, fear, and financial dependency. “I knew what he expected,” she said. “I just wanted to make him happy.”

Jury’s Reaction and What’s Next

Courtroom observers described the jury as attentive but visibly fatigued by the end of the day, especially as the barrage of explicit messages and graphic evidence continued. Some jurors appeared to lose focus as the testimony became repetitive, but most remained engaged, particularly during the presentation of text and photo evidence.

Combs, who was admonished by the judge earlier in the week for allegedly attempting to communicate with jurors, appeared subdued, focusing on his attorneys and the judge rather than the jury.

As Jane’s direct examination continues, the prosecution appears to have established a strong foundation for charges of sex trafficking by fraud and transportation for purposes of prostitution. However, the defense is likely to challenge the credibility of Jane’s account and highlight ambiguities around consent and motivation.

The trial is set to resume next week, with cross-examination of Jane expected to be a pivotal moment in the case.
