A second anonymous witness testified that Combs pushed her to perform with a succession of commercial sex workers. In one text message she sent to him she wrote, "I don't want to play this role in your life anymore. It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself. I feel it's the only reason you have me around and why you pay for the house. I don't want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you in fear of losing the roof over my head." She sent that text in September of 2023 but testified that she participated in "hotel nights" with Combs through the summer of 2024.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy
Full Episode
This is On Trial, a special series from Dateline True Crime Weekly, bringing you daily coverage from the Sean Combs racketeering trial. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. I'm Andrea Canning, and it's Friday, June 6th. Just a heads up, in this episode, we're going to be talking about some graphic details and harrowing subject matter.
This morning, the prosecution witness who was testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her identity took the stand again. By 9.30, she was sobbing. She told the jury that Sean Combs had a fantasy watching her have sex with other men and that she obliged him on a weekly basis for about a year.
She wept as she tried to explain why she kept doing it, even though she testified that she didn't want to. NBC News correspondent Chloe Malas has been in the courtroom today, and she's stepped out to give us an update. Hey, Chloe. Hey, Andrea. So the testimony was pretty rough to listen to, almost a repeat of Cassie Ventura's testimony.
I would say it was just as emotional. Jane was crying from almost the moment that she got on the stand. She held this Kleenex the whole time, and... Sean Combs just stared at her as she walked down the aisle of the courtroom and made her way to the stand. He just really did not take his eyes off of her.
So she gives this description of, I realize she's not using the term freak-offs, but it sounds similar to freak-offs. And she talks about how Sean is kind of directing these sexual encounters with her and other men.
Okay.
So what was different about how she describes these sexual encounters versus what we heard from Cassie?
There would be multiple escorts on one night that Combs would have escort after escort, just this revolving door show up. And she testified that sometimes she would break down and cry because it was just so difficult and she would be so tired and her body would be incredibly sore. Mm-hmm.
When Cassie Ventura was testifying, I vividly remember her talking about specific escorts from this company called Cowboys for Angels. And that's what we heard during Jane's testimony today as well, that it was the same site that they would get these escorts from. Am I getting this right?
