An ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs testified in court that she engaged in sex acts with male sex workers at his request, believing it demonstrated his love for her. She now regrets what she recognizes as a “cuckold” lifestyle.
The woman testified under the pseudonym “Jane” to protect her identity in Combs’ sex-trafficking trial.
She revealed that their three-year relationship continued until Combs was arrested in September at a New York hotel, where they were scheduled to meet.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, which carry a potential sentence of 15 years to life in prison. He remains jailed without bail.
Prosecutors allege Combs employed violence, threats, and a network of associates to control and abuse women over two decades.
His lawyers told the Manhattan federal court jury that while there was domestic violence in his relationships, all sexual activity was consensual.
Earlier in the trial, R&B singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who publicly shared her identity, testified over four days about physical abuse by Combs and her participation in hundreds of “freak-off” sexual performances during their nearly 11-year relationship, which ended in 2018.
Teny Geragos, Combs’ lawyer, cross-examined Jane on Tuesday, prompting her to discuss the drug-fueled sexual marathons orchestrated by Combs—sometimes weekly—by reminding her of her earlier testimony regarding regrets.
“I resent him for leading me into the lifestyle he led me to,” Jane stated. “I resented the way he went about introducing me to this lifestyle.”
She said she agreed to the “hotel nights” under significant “emotional pressure,” already in love and wanting to maintain her relationship with Combs.
Jane testified on Monday that she began therapy about three months ago. She had previously met with lawyers from Combs’ defense team but discontinued those meetings in April, shortly before the trial began.
She said she struggles to understand her continued participation in “hotel nights,” despite only wanting to have sex with Combs. However, she told the court the reasons are “becoming more and more clear” as she progresses in therapy.
Initially, Jane felt these secret sexual experiences with Combs were “something very special.”
She said she didn’t want to judge him and desired to “just go along with these things, because if I can be my partner’s escapes, then I would be.”
Jane said she researched sexual variations in 2022 and discovered the terms “cuck” and “cuckold,” which seemed to describe her lifestyle because she said a “cuck” finds pleasure in seeing “his woman receive pleasure” from another man.
In earlier testimony, Jane provided recent examples of Combs behaving violently toward a woman while attempting to fulfill his sexual desires.
Cassie sued Combs in November 2023, alleging sexual abuse. The lawsuit was settled within hours for 20 million dollars (£14.7 million), which led to the criminal investigation into Combs.
