NEW YORK (BN24) — Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former girlfriend testified in harrowing detail Monday that the music mogul violently assaulted her and forced her into a coerced sexual encounter with a male sex worker just weeks after his public apology for abusing another woman surfaced online in 2024.
The woman, testifying under the pseudonym “Jane” for a third consecutive day in federal court, told jurors that Combs attacked her at his California home on June 18, 2024, after an argument sparked by her confronting him about infidelity. The alleged assault, she said, involved Combs putting her in a chokehold, punching her in the face, kicking down doors and dragging her back into the house after she attempted to flee.
According to Jane, the night she had hoped would be romantic turned violent. After the beating, she said Combs gave her ecstasy and forced her into what he described as a “freak-off” with a male sex worker. “You’re not going to ruin my night like this,” she recalled him saying, adding that she tried to resist, only to be asked: “Then is this coercion?”
The incident occurred during an ongoing federal investigation that led to Combs’ arrest in September 2024. He has since pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could result in a life sentence if convicted.
Jane recounted that she had run several blocks away to hide for hours before returning, only to encounter Combs again. She described being chased into a backyard, beaten again, and ultimately dragged by her hair back into the house. In the shower, she said, Combs struck her so forcefully she collapsed. Despite her visible injuries, he allegedly instructed her to apply makeup and fix her hair for the arrival of the male sex worker.
The testimony draws disturbing parallels to a separate civil lawsuit filed in November 2023 by R&B singer Cassie, Combs’ former longtime girlfriend, who accused him of orchestrating drug-fueled group sex marathons referred to as “freak-offs.” That lawsuit was settled within a day for $20 million. Jane testified that when she read Cassie’s claims, she felt as if she were “reading [her] own sexual trauma,” saying the allegations mirrored her experience “word for word.”
Jane is among several women to publicly describe allegations of abuse at the hands of the Bad Boy Records founder. As she left the witness stand Monday, she said of Combs, “I just pray for his continued healing.”
Her testimony continues this week as prosecutors near the end of their presentation. Combs’ legal team is expected to begin cross-examination on Tuesday.
