Diddy Turns Down Last-Minute Plea Deal in Federal Sex Trafficking Case

This week ends with more explosive testimony in the government’s case against disgraced rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Judge Arun Subramanian threatened to remove Combs from the courtroom during the lunch break before “Jane” testified, stating he saw Combs nodding at the jury twice while his attorneys cross-examined an earlier witness. The judge warned that any further attempts to influence jurors could lead to Combs being ejected.

Combs’ ex-girlfriend, testifying under the pseudonym “Jane,” broke down on the stand as she described drug-fueled sex marathons. She said Combs ignored her when she tried to stop and mocked her for crying after one encounter.

Bryana “Bana” Bongolan, a graphic designer and friend of Cassie Ventura who is also suing Combs, testified Wednesday that Combs once held her over a 17-story-high balcony at a Los Angeles high-rise for 10 to 15 seconds in 2016. She said the incident left her deeply traumatized.

Combs’ lawyer said Tuesday, March 26, 2024, that the searches of his Los Angeles and Miami properties by federal authorities in a sex-trafficking investigation were ”a gross use of military-level force” and that Combs is “innocent and will continue to fight” to clear his name.
