Sean Combs’ ex-girlfriend, identified only as “Jane”, has delivered shocking testimony in court, revealing that reading Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit against the hip-hop mogul last November was like “reading my own story.”
As reported by Rolling Stone, Jane, who dated Combs between 2021 and 2024, returned to the stand for her third day of testimony in New York, where she clutched a light blue stress ball whilst recounting her experiences.
“I almost fainted, in fact I think I did,” Jane told the jury about her reaction to reading Ventura’s 35-page civil lawsuit. “I just reacted like, “I can’t believe I’m reading my own story.”‘
Jane described how her relationship with Combs began as a whirlwind romance, but after consenting to her first “freak-off” a few months in, she likened it to opening “a Pandora’s box” that she was unable to shut.
The court heard that these elaborate sexual encounters, which Jane knew as “hotel nights,” followed a disturbing pattern nearly identical to what Ventura described in her lawsuit. Music would pulse through hotel suites decorated with white candles and mood lighting, whilst sheets and towels covered furniture in preparation for numerous bottles of baby oil. Combs allegedly expected women to take ecstasy, wear provocative lingerie and towering stripper heels as they seduced male sex workers.
“‘I’m not an animal, I’m not a porn star,” Jane recalled texting Combs in October 2023, when she attempted to confront him about the freak-offs and express her desire to stop.
Jane’s testimony also detailed an alleged violent confrontation with Combs on 18th June 2024, which she described as “a very terrible day.” After an argument escalated, Jane claimed Combs kicked down her bedroom door, prompting her to flee to a closet. When she tried to escape, Jane alleged, “Sean kicked me in the back of my thigh, and I fell down. Then he picked me up in a chokehold and choked me.”

After hiding for two hours, Jane testified that she returned home to find Combs waiting. A physical altercation allegedly ensued, with Jane stating, “He started punching my head. He started kicking me. He started saying all kinds of things and just kept punching me.”
Throughout her emotional testimony, Jane discussed various ways Combs and his staff allegedly coerced or forced her into uncomfortable situations—including participating in hotel nights and transporting drugs. She testified that Combs would threaten to break up with her and cut off financial support if she refused to participate in freak-offs.
“One night of fun turned into the entirety of our relationship, and now it’s all I’m expected to do and get called for,” Jane texted Combs in September 2023. “It’s hurting me because I’m so much more than being loved in the dark in hotel rooms, doing things that make me feel disgusted with myself.”
Combs has pleaded not guilty to five felony counts, including sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Jane is referred to as Victim-2 in the Southern District of New York’s case against the hip-hop mogul. Prosecutors consider her a victim of sex trafficking by fraud, whilst they allege Cassie Ventura was sex trafficked by physical force and coercion.
