Kanye West at court, says he's supporting Combs

The jury was told that "Jane" -- the former Sean Combs girlfriend testifying under a pseudonym -- and Combs had spent the week prior to New Year’s Day 2022 together. In a text message shown to the court, she described a sexual encounter with a male prostitute as “one for the books.”

"Jane" then saw on social media, the court was told, that Combs had taken a different woman away on vacation, prompting "Jane" to text Combs.

“It’s not right how you’re treating me right now and how you’re doing me and the last thing I’d expect from you is coming at me sideways about a girl you like,” "Jane" wrote.

“You completely had your way with me.” The message concluded, “You have me feeling so taken advantage of.”

Combs’ response wasn't read aloud in court but defense attorney Teny Geragos characterized it, saying. “He was saying if the relationship was as toxic as you say you were welcome to leave, right?”

“That’s what he was saying,” "Jane" told the court in response.

The defense also showed additional text exchanges in which Combs obliged when "Jane" said she didn't want to engage in a sex performance with a male prostitute. "Jane" also testified that there was a two-month stretch in 2022 when there were no so-called “hotel night” sexual encounters with third parties.

Geragos has been showing "Jane" and the court several other messages that show her initiating sexual conversation, as the defense continues efforts to try and support their argument that "Jane" was complicit in "hotel night" sexual encounters.

"Jane" testified that she would buy matching shorts for Combs and the escorts to wear during “hotel nights,” as well as erectile dysfunction pills for them to use.

Judge Arun Subramanian is monitoring a potential issue with a juror.

He did not disclose what the issue is but the attorneys have discussed it in letters that have not been made public.

Asked about it prior to the resumption of defense cross-examination of the witness testifying under the pseudonym "Jane," prosecutor Maurene Comey said the juror appeared to demonstrate a “lack of candor” with the court.

Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro accused prosecutors of a “thinly veiled effort to dismiss a Black juror.”

The juror in question is a man from the Bronx who, during jury selection, said he was familiar with the basic allegations of the case but that his preexisting knowledge would not prevent him from being a fair juror.

Subramanian said he would resolve whatever the issue is before the weekend.

Sean "Diddy" Combs’ ex-girlfriend, appearing under the pseudonym “Jane,” returns to the witness stand for more cross-examination when court resumes this afternoon.

The defense had been attempting to cast "Jane" as a willing partner in Combs' lifestyle, which included multiple-partner sexual encounters known as "hotel nights." "Jane" has maintained that she was coerced into participating.

"Jane" told the jury on direct examination that her three-year relationship with Combs made her feel “manipulated,” “used,” and “resentful.” On cross-examination, "Jane" testified, “I loved spending time with my partner.”

She told the jury how she like to bathe Combs and give him foot rubs. “He was my baby,” "Jane" testified. “I’m naturally nurturing.”

After "Jane" told federal prosecutors on direct examination that Combs subjected her to so much sex with male prostitutes that it took over her life, defense attorney Teny Geragos sought to highlight the benefits of her relationship with Combs, including a $20,000 investment in her line of swimwear and dresses, paying the $10,000 monthly rent on her 5,300-square-foot home, and giving her gifts, including a Van Cleef necklace and a luxury handbag.

“What is a Bottega bag?” Geragos asked Tuesday.

“I'm sure you have one,” "Jane" retorted from the witness stand.

“I actually don't,” Geragos shot back. “How much do Bottega bags run?”

“How much does my body cost?” "Jane" testified in reply.

Judge Arun Subramanian then reminded her to answer the question.

When Geragos asked whether Combs had given her a Chanel bag, "Jane" told the court, “No, I only got trauma.”

But the defense appeared skeptical of "Jane’s" claims that she was traumatized by “hotel nights.”

Geragos showed the jury an effusive text message "Jane" wrote about a night with a male prostitute that she previously testified left her in tears. “I love you so, so, so, so much,” the message said. “I feel closer to you on another level.”

The defense also showed more explicit messages that showed "Jane" initiating plans to “get slutty” or boasting about sex with a favorite escort named Paul. "Jane" said Combs called them the “trifecta” and that they compared themselves to basketball stars: "Jane" was Kobe Bryant, Paul was Shaquille O’Neal and Combs was Michael Jordan.

Defense cross-examination of "Jane" is expected to continue through Thursday.

After the former Combs girlfriend testifying under the pseudonym "Jane" told the jury on direct examination that she had been “used” and “lied to” during her relationship with Combs, defense attorney Teny Geragos sought to demonstrate that "Jane" benefited from the relationship.

“You were an entrepreneur,” Geragos said, noting "Jane's" swimwear brand and line of dresses in which Combs invested $20,000. “Have you profited?”

“A little bit,” "Jane" testified.

“Has he ever asked you for any of that money?” Geragos asked.

“No,” "Jane" testified.

“He’s never asked you for a portion of your proceeds?” Geragos asked.

“No,” "Jane" told the court.

Geragos also asked about the Los Angeles home in which she lives with her child. "Jane" testified that the home is 5,300 square feet, significantly larger than the 1,400-square-foot apartment she previously occupied before Combs started paying her rent.

“It’s in a nice area of Los Angeles?” Geragos asked.

“Yes,” "Jane" testified.

“A big home for your child,” Geragos said. “That’s important to you?”

“Yes,” "Jane" testified.

Geragos then showed "Jane" more explicit text messages she sent to Combs that appeared to show her taking the initiative in planning nights that the messages said could “get slutty.”

"Jane" told the court, “He typically doesn’t want the boring romantic stuff. He wants the debaucherous [sic] stuff.”

Geragos showed "Jane" a series of messages that she and Combs exchanged after a "hotel night" sexual encounter, highlighting what the defense asserts was her enthusiasm.

“I wish you were here. We can play our videos on TV and lock each other in the room all day,” "Jane" texted, adding, “I never [climaxed] so hard like that in my life.”

Another text from "Jane" to Combs described an encounter in part as "sexy, erotic," as well as in more explicit terms.

“I knew that’s what he liked,” "Jane" testified. “I wanted to do something he liked.”

Court has adjourned for the day. Cross-examination resumes Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET.
