Crime Roundup with Nancy Grace: Is Diddy Controlling the Courtroom?

Jane, testifying under a pseudonym, told jurors she still loves Combs, who continues to pay her rent after giving her approximately $150,000 during their three-year relationship.

As Jane recalled fond memories—giving Combs foot massages and watching hours of Dateline—the rapper smiled and nodded from the defense table.

Jane said the word “cuckold” described what she and Combs engaged in sexually. She explained that a cuck gets “pleasure seeing his woman receive pleasure from the other man” and may harbor bi-curiosity that he explores indirectly through his partner. Jane also said Combs referred to himself, her, and a male escort known as “Paul” by the names of NBA legends.

According to her, she was Kobe Bryant, Paul was Shaquille O’Neal, and Combs called himself Michael Jordan. She said the trio referred to themselves as the “trifecta.”

On the stand, Jane testified that Combs coerced her into sex acts and threatened to stop paying her rent if she refused. She also said Combs threatened to send sexually explicit videos of her to her son’s father.

Combs’ attorneys deny he coerced Jane or Cassie Ventura into sex.
