NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent ex-girlfriend told Combs that she cried for three days after reading R&B artist Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s 2023 lawsuit against the music mogul, a case that described hundreds of drug-laced marathon sex sessions with Combs and other men as “horrific encounters.”
The woman, who is known in court by the pseudonym Jane, testified Monday that she felt like she was “reading my own sexual trauma” as she read the lawsuit, which was settled within a day for $20 million.
She read aloud in Manhattan federal court a text message that she sent Combs three days after the lawsuit was filed in November 2023. She said that she had been crying for three days and felt nauseated.
She said three pages of the lawsuit addressing what Cassie referred to as “freak-offs” and what Jane has called “hotel nights” followed her experience with the Bad Boy Entertainment founder “word for word, exactly my experience.”
During day three of Jane Doe's testimony in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey introduced Cassie Ventura's lawsuit. Jane, who testified about her three-year relationship with Combs before his September arrest, stated the lawsuit mirrored her own experiences, causing significant emotional distress
Cassie testified for four days earlier in the trial, saying she engaged in the weekly sexual performances as Combs mostly watched or filmed her sexual activities with male sex workers in sessions that often lasted for days. Cassie dated Combs for nearly 11 years, ending in 2018.

Before presenting Cassie Ventura's lawsuit, Assistant U.S. Attorney Comey revealed Jane's prior complaints about Sean "Diddy" Combs' behavior. Jane testified that she had protested Combs' treatment of her in the weeks preceding Ventura's $20 million settlement
She read aloud for the jury hundreds of text messages that she had exchanged with Combs, including some in which she complained that he seemed to be forcing her into the sexual encounters by threatening to take away her Los Angeles home. He had begun paying for the residence months earlier.
In a powerful court testimony, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend, identified as Jane Doe, revealed heartbreaking text messages sent to Combs. These messages, sent after reading Cassie Ventura's lawsuit detailing drug-fueled “sex marathons,” expressed her trauma, stating, “I am not an animal.” Her testimony echoed Ventura’s allegations of horrific sexual encounters, highlighting the devastating impact of Combs’ alleged actions

While briefly overcome with emotion, she remained largely composed as she detailed her relationship with Combs, stating that the Cassie Ventura lawsuit felt like "reading my own sexual trauma." Her testimony included text messages expressing distress after reading the lawsuit's description of "horrific encounters," mirroring her own experiences with the music mogul

Jane testified that much of Cassie Ventura's lawsuit detailing horrific encounters echoed her own experiences with Sean "Diddy" Combs, stating, "the majority of these accounts were like the same show over and over again
Jane said that after she expressed her frustrations and desire to only have sexual relations with Combs, the verbal fights between them would sometimes be resolved when he would say all the things she wanted to hear and promise to spend time with her without a “hotel night.”
Then, she said, when she saw Cassie’s lawsuit, “I almost fainted.”
