A third alleged victim of Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs will return to the stand on Friday as the mogul faces sex trafficking ad racketeering charges in New York City.
The woman, who is testifying under the pseudonym of Jane, described enduring drug-fueled sex marathons until the hip-hop titan’s arrest in September.
Jane said she repeatedly told Diddy in person and in writing, that she didn’t want to have sex with other men. But Diddy, who paid her rent and controlled other parts of her life, kept pressuring her and she felt ‘obligated,’ she said.
Her testimony began after the judge threatened to expel Diddy from the courtroom for ‘nodding vigorously’ at jurors during a sharp cross-examination of another witness.
The mogul has remained animated throughout the trial, even making comments to those in the gallery and one sketch artist, who he claimed was making him look like a ‘koala.’
Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers concede he could be violent, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit abuse.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs tells courtroom artist he looks like a ‘koala’ in sketches
On Thursday, the gray-bearded hip-hop mogul turned to face courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg in the first row to make an unusual request.
‘Soften me up a bit, you’re making me look like a koala bear,’ Combs said, according to Rosenberg.
Rosenberg, a well-known sketch artist, has been documenting the proceedings for Reuters in Manhattan federal court, where photography and video recording are prohibited.
Diddy is not the first high-profile defendant to remark on Rosenberg’s depictions of them.
Earlier this year, Rudy Giuliani told Rosenberg she had made him look like his dog.
And in 2023, Donald Trump Jr. had a blunt request for Rosenberg during a civil fraud trial over his family’s real estate business: ‘Make me look sexy.’
How Diddy counted out $100k from a brown paper bag to buy Cassie beating video
A security guard told how Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs counted out $100,000 from a brown paper bag to buy the only copy of a video showing him beating up his ex-girlfriend on Tuesday.
Eddy Garcia, who worked at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, told in vivid detail how the hip hop mogul used a counting machine to add up the money for the bribe in 2016.
Garcia said that Diddy called him ‘Eddy, my angel’ for deleting it from the servers and giving it to him on a USB stick.
