Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Prosecutors seek to remove one of the jurors — Juror No. 6 — who Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense lawyers claim is among the panel’s Black members. It’s not clear what’s behind the prosecution’s request, though it has cited a "lack of candor." " Maurene Comey, one of the prosecutors, says, "We did not want to do this. We were compelled to do that." Combs ex-girlfriend identified by pseudonym "Jane" returns for her sixth day on the stand. Combs' defense has attacked Jane “up and down” trying to show she agreed to sex acts, by using Combs messages as alleged proof, according to prosecutors.  Prosecutors tell Judge Arun Subramanian the government expects to rest its case no later than a week from Friday and perhaps as early as Wednesday next week. One of the prosecutors, Maurene Comey, also states they will condense their case and soon will inform the court and defense which witnesses they will remove.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend, known as "Jane," continued her graphic testimony on the stand, revealing more explicit details about their relationship. She told the court he called her "Crack Pipe"—a nickname she said reflected his obsession with her and their intense sexual encounters. Jane also admitted to using their "hotel nights" as leverage to get what she wanted from the music mogul. In other news, a Los Angeles woman woke to find an intruder standing over her with his pants down. Meanwhile, a judge removed a mother from a Zoom court hearing—for making a sandwich.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorneys cross-examined his ex-girlfriend, “Jane,” who testified that the rapper’s sexual preferences may stem from bi-curiosity. 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.

Jane Doe, Sean "Diddy" Combs’s most recent ex-girlfriend testifies for another day, that "hotel nights" were the only way she'd ever see him. Growing fears of a serial killer as a young woman is found dead in the woods of Massachusetts, marking the 13th unexplained death across New England since March. A Los Angeles protester is now on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list for allegedly throwing rocks at federal officers. Drew Nelson reports.

"Jane's" testimony continues. She testifies she grew more defiant of Combs’ “hotel nights” when he bragged about his sex life with another woman on a podcast. Jane sends several blunt texts the next time Combs asks for a “hotel night” while he’s with another woman. “I don’t want to be used and locked in a room to perform and fulfill your fantasies. I’m not a porn star. I’m not an animal. Coming to the realization of what this really is.” When Combs replies she’s the only one who can bring him peace, Jane snaps back, “Introduce her to ‘P.’” ” It's not me; it's the entertainment that puts you at peace.” Jane says her text about ‘P’ referred to one of their “entertainers,” Paul. After their fight about “hotel nights,” Combs promises Jane they can have a weekend in New York, just the two of them. Jane believes Combs and gets on a plane, but not long after takeoff, Combs sends Jane a text about a “surprise.” When she arrived, an “entertainer” was waiting in their hotel room. Combs brushed off Jane’s clear disappointment and anger in the lounge of their hotel, and Jane says she felt so defeated, she agreed to go upstairs with Combs. Just a few days later, Combs decided that night needed a part two and had the New York entertainer meet the couple in Miami.  Jane testifies that the two-part “hotel night” went poorly because of her disappointment and distrust for the “entertainer” Combs chose, so she arranged another hotel night with a man she was more familiar with to “make it up” to Combs. Jane expresses in later texts to Combs that she had a hand in setting up “hotel nights” and hiring sex workers solely for her own safety against blackmail, pregnancy, and STDs, not because she wanted to participate. Jane reads more text messages she sent to Combs the next time he asked to see her for what she assumed would be another hotel night: “Spend the day with your family or Gina; I need time to myself.” In response, Combs promised that he wasn’t seeking sex at all and only wanted to spend time with her. Jane stood her ground, writing, “You beat the love out of us. You made it crystal clear exactly what you want me for. You’re going to spend the day love-bombing me so you can get what you want? It’s not genuine. I’ve hit a mental and spiritual wall.” “Jane” testifies she read Cassie’s lawsuit the second she learned of it—and fainted from shock. Jane says she was reading her own story, about her own sexual trauma, and felt even more betrayed by Combs’ constantly dismissing her reluctance to participate in “hotel nights.” Jane immediately confronted Combs about Cassie’s allegations in scathing texts. “The sick part is you knew this was coming, and you gaslit me and made me feel crazy about the sex trauma I was developing, knowing you’ve been here before. It’s all so clear that this was sexual exploitation that you framed as love for your sick fetishes."  Joining Nancy Grace today:   * Greg Morse [http://morselegal.com] - Criminal Defense Attorney of Morse Legal, Author of “The Untested” [found on Amazon] * Dr. Bethany Marshall [http://www.drbethanymarshall.com] -  Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," and featured in hit show "Paris in Love" on Peacock; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, X: @DrBethanyLive * Chris McDonough [http://www.coldcasefoundation.org/chris-mcdonough] -  Director At the Cold Case Foundation, Former Homicide Detective [worked over 300 homicides in 25-year career], Trained the first Native American Homicide Task Force; Host of YouTube channel, "The Interview Room" * Dani Pinter [http://endsexualexploitation.org] - Senior Vice President and Director of Law Center, National Center on Sexual Exploitation * Tisa Tells - Pop Culture Investigator & Commentator and Host of 'Tisa Tells' on YouTube; YouTube: @TisaTells, Instagram & TikTok: @TisaTellss See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
