Sean Combs trial updates: 'Jane' testifies on 'hotel nights' with Combs

"Jane" is sobbing through much of her testimony as she told the court the longest "hotel night" occurred on New Year's Eve 2022. She told the court it "lasted three or three and a half days."

"Did you ever get to sleep during a hotel night?" prosecutor Maurene Comey asked.

"No," "Jane" testified. "I would take ecstasy. I would drink caffeine. I would drink water. I would order myself smoothies or protein shakes."

She told the court the ecstasy helped. "I didn't want it to feel like it was too real," "Jane" testified, beginning to sob. "Make things easier."

Twice, she testified she tried to make it through a hotel night without drugs. "I was just tired of doing that to my body," Jane told the court. "I didn't like it. The fantasy of it wasn't there. It wasn't easy. It was just too real that it was happening."

She testified she ended up asking Combs for a pill, which he allegedly provided.

The second time, in October 2023, "Jane" said she was hoping to help Combs get sober.

"I just cared so much about Sean's health and I could just see he was excessively partying on top of all the pills that he takes. I just wanted him to get clean," Jane testified. "He said, 'Okay I'm going to do 30 days without anything.'" She told the court Combs asked for "one last sobriety party."

Asked how long the party lasted, Jane immediately testified, "Too long."

It took place at L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills and lasted 12 to 18 hours, "Jane" testified. After having sex with two male escorts she threw up, according to her testimony.

"Sean came in and I told him that I had just thrown up and he was like, 'That's good you'll feel better now that you've thrown up so let's go' because the third guy was here," Jane testified. "I was just so mad at myself for doing that. I deeply regretted that."

"Did you have sex with a third entertainer after you threw up?" Comey asked. "Yes," Jane testified.

Court then took a brief recess.

After "hotel nights," "Jane" said she would text Combs, "probably just to say I love him."

Some of the messages were sexually explicit as "Jane" told the court she was playing into his fantasy, "like me saying that I wanted a guy and just to kinda play up on that."

"When you sent these text messages did you want to be having sex with other men?" prosecutor Maurene Comey asked.

"No," "Jane" testified, but continued, "I wanted to turn my lover on."

The jury saw one message from "Jane" in which she wrote she was "horny" for Combs "because that's how I was feeling for him."

Combs responded to the message, "Be explicit," which Jane said she understood to mean "play on the fantasy talk."

She responded, fulfilling Combs' wish, describing desires for sexual interactions with other men and Combs.

Comey asked, "Did you want to do this?"

"Jane" testified, "No."

The jury saw a text message from later in the relationship in which "Jane" tried to communicate her true feelings about "hotel nights."

She testified that she sent it because "I didn't like them and I was realizing this was becoming the dynamic of what we were" and she was, according to her testimony, "getting scared with how often it was starting to become."

Jane read her message: "I wish we could jump this back to when we first started dating...ever since I opened Pandora's box I've never been able to close it...it's hurting me because I'm so much more than being left in the dark in hotel rooms...I don't want to play this role in your life anymore. It's dark, sleazy and it makes me feel disgusted...I don't want to play this role out of fear of losing the roof over my head."

Comey asked her to read Combs' response. "He said, 'Girl stop.'"

With "Jane" on the witness stand for her first full day of testimony, the court heard an audio recording of a "hotel night" with a male prostitute she previously identified as Don.

On the recording, "Jane" and Don are heard looking for a condom when Combs objected to the condom use.

Prosecutor Maurene Comey asked, "In that moment, that we just heard, why didn't you just insist that Don wear a condom?"

"Jane" answered, "I just didn't want to disappoint my lover."

Otherwise, she said, "he would be unhappy" and "wouldn't be satisfied with me."

After intercourse with the prostitute and Combs, "Jane" testified, "I would just take a shower and get ready for the next one."

A typical hotel night would include three rounds of this kind of sex, according to "Jane's" testimony

"Who decided how many rounds?" Comey asked. "Sean," "Jane" testified.

"Who decided if you could stop when you were tired?" Comey asked.

"Jane" began to sob as she told the court, "Sean."

Her testimony paused while she dabbed her eyes.

"I would give subtle cues that I was tired, and I would say I was hungry or I would lay down or I would just come in and give him little faces," "Jane" testified. "He would say 'You're not getting tired on me. Let's finish strong.'"

When Comey asked, "Why not just say you wanted to stop," "Jane" wailed loudly into the microphone and told the court, through tears, "I don't know."

"Jane" testified Combs gave her ecstasy to keep her awake and having sex, telling the court she would take multiple doses in a single "hotel night."

"Did you ever cry after one of these hotel nights?" Comey asked.

"Yes," "Jane" testified, recalling two instances.

The first time "Jane" told the court she remembered crying occurred when she thought she and Combs were having a one-on-one date night. She testified she remembered Combs telling her "that there would be an entertainer but just for a little bit. I hung onto those words, just a little bit,."

Sobbing, "Jane" testified she had "three rounds with this guy and I just remember Sean standing up to leave. And I was just so high and just feeling so lonely and sad and why would he leave me like that."

Asked how Combs reacted, "Jane" told the jury, "He said, 'Are you crying' and almost looked disgusted with my face."

After Cassie Ventura, "Jane," who is testifying under a pseudonym, is the second ex-girlfriend of Sean Combs to testify how the couple's romance morphed into a degrading pattern of unwanted sex with male prostitutes in which she felt "obligated" to participate.

In her first day of testimony, "Jane" told the court about a relationship fueled by drugs and Combs' penchant for pornography, baby oil, "provocative lingerie and really high stripper shoes."

At first, "Jane" testified she was willing to try what she and Combs referred to as "debauchery" or "hotel nights" because "I wanted to make him happy and I feared losing him."

The first experience "just opened like a Pandora's box in our relationship. It just completely set the tone for our relationship moving forward," "Jane" testified.

For the next three years, Combs required hotel nights 90% of the time they spent together, "Jane" told the court yesterday.

"Many times," she testified she told Combs she did not want to have sex with other men, but she ended up doing it anyway.

She told the jury she felt obligated to perform because he was paying her $10,000 monthly rent and threatened to withhold it.

The defense has said all of the sex described at trial was consensual.

"Jane" is expected to be on the witness stand all day Friday and perhaps through Thursday of next week.

Combs is seated at the defense table in a dark crew neck sweater, after being warned yesterday to refrain from "nodding vigorously" or otherwise reacting to testimony in a way that could influence the jury.
