  • Diddy’s former girlfriend “Jane” says he’s still paying her rent
    2025/06/06

    Jane - a pseudonym to protect her identity - tells the court Diddy is still paying her rent, even though she is a witness for the prosecution.

    The jury hears she didn’t want to take part in the so called “hotel nights” when she had a period, and sent Diddy a picture of a used tampon to prove this. She says this upset Combs, who accused her of going back on her offer to have a hotel session.

    Jane says she regularly suffered from pain and UTIs as a result of the ‘Hotel Nights’. She would usually take a lot of drugs, but on a couple of occasions she remained sober. One time she says she threw up after having sex with two men. She says Combs told her to carry on with a third man.

    Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to BBC digital reporter Sakshi Venkatraman about the day in court.

    Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.
