(NewsNation) — A woman who dated Sean “Diddy” Combs from 2021-2024 testified Thursday that she participated in “Freak Offs” where she engaged with male sex workers under the alleged instruction of the record label executive, similarly to his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

The woman, who testified under the pseudonym “Jane,” was in a relationship with the entertainment entrepreneur at the time of his arrest.

Jane said she met Combs while on a girls’ trip with a friend who was dating the rapper at the time in 2020. She exchanged phone numbers with the head of Bay Boy Productions after being on his yacht and visiting his home on Star Island off of Miami.

According to Jane, she and Combs had their first date in January 2021 in Miami. She said she was “pretty head over heels with Sean already.”

The new couple went away on vacation together, a trip to Turks and Caicos and then to the Bahamas. After each vacation, Combs gave Jane $10,000.

Diddy’s ex-girlfriend ‘Jane’ testifies she participated in ‘Freak Offs’

In May 2021, Jane testified that her then-boyfriend had her watch porn and would ask, “Do you like what you see there?”

She said the relationship took a turn when Combs expressed his interest in her engaging with other men in sexual activities. Combs’ former partner said she agreed to his request.

She said it, “seemed like he wanted that, and it was turning him on.”

After she agreed, Jane claimed that Combs’ personal assistants began setting up a hotel in Miami for a “Freak Off.”

Jane refers to the sexual encounters with other men at “hotel nights” versus Ventura’s “Freak Offs.”

She said that after she participated in the first hotel night, Jane said she felt excited, but that quickly changed as she said she did not want to have sex with other men, only the rapper. She informed her of her preference.

On the stand, she said she wanted an “old-fashioned type of relationship, just me and him.”

Judge takes precautions to protect ‘Jane’s’ identity

The court overflow rooms and courtroom TV monitors will not show Jane’s testimony to ensure her identity is kept confidential.

Judge Arun Subramanian ordered that no one in the press is allowed to sketch or describe the imprisoned rapper’s ex-girlfriend in any fashion that would reveal her to the public. Jurors will know her actual name.

The decision came after media outlets reported the true identity of the witness who used the pseudonym “Mia.” She testified earlier this week that the rapper sexually assaulted her while she worked as his assistant.

Cassie’s friend’s balcony testimony challenged by Diddy’s defense team

A friend of Ventura returned to the stand Thursday after telling jurors the music producer dangled her over an apartment balcony in 2016, leaving her with emotional trauma.

Bryana Bongolan, also known as “Bana,” testified Wednesday that Combs hung her from Ventura’s 17-story apartment balcony while in a rage over his ex-partner.   

Bongolan told jurors that the assault caused a bruise on the back of her leg, along with back and neck pain. She also said it left her emotionally scarred. 

On Thursday, Bongolan told defense attorney Nicole Westmoreland that she smoked a blunt with Combs and attended the rapper’s concert and a private event, following the alleged balcony assault.

Westmoreland asked her, “You weren’t too fearful enough to not go to Mr. Combs’ event, were you?”

Bongolan testified, “I always had a feeling inside, but yes, I went.”

Ventura’s friend said Combs lifted and held her by her armpits over the balcony while screaming at her. 

She said she is 5 feet, 1 inch tall and was 100 to 115 pounds when Combs allegedly attacked her.

According to Bongolan, she tried pushing back at a “bigger” Combs “because I was scared to fall.” She said he was yelling at her, “You know what the f— you did.” To this day, she said she is unaware of what Combs was referencing.

She testified the incident lasted 10 to 15 seconds, and Ventura came to the door in “disbelief” as Bongolan was hanging over the balcony. She recalled hearing her say, “Did you just hang her over the balcony?”

Combs left after someone informed him Bongolan’s then-girlfriend was in the house.

Ventura had also testified to the incident when she was on the stand, saying she saw Combs bring one of her friends back over the railing of a balcony at her apartment in the early morning.

Bongolan said Combs gave her drugs on three or four occasions, including ecstasy, cocaine and ketamine. She said she also did drugs about once a week with Cassie when Combs wasn’t around.

She was granted immunity Wednesday to testify and stated that she is there under subpoena.

Bongolan is among several other witnesses who have testified to Combs’ violence.

The disgraced music mogul faces five counts of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.
