Ex-girlfriend to face cross-examination in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trialTestifying under the pseudonym “Jane,” the woman said she was with Combs in Miami when a 2016 hotel security camera video of Sean Combs attacking Cassie Ventura first made headlines in May 2024

Jane’ testifies she was with Combs when the Cassie Ventura hotel attack video became public

When the widely seen 2016 hotel security camera video of Sean Combs attacking Cassie Ventura first appeared on television in May 2024, “Jane” testified she was with Combs at his home in Miami.

“I remember we were sleeping and one of the sons knocked on the door and said that something happened and then I was just by myself,” the former Combs girlfriend appearing under the pseudonym “Jane” told the court. “I went downstairs and could see everyone speaking amongst each other.”

Prosecutor Maurene Comey asked, “What did you see on the video?”

“I saw Sean assaulting Cassie in a hotel lobby,” “Jane” testified. She also told the court that she saw Combs huddling with his team and his family to come up with a response.

“At any point did you hear Sean deny that he was the person depicted in that video assaulting Cassie?” Comey asked.

“No,” “Jane” testified.

“Jane” told the court that Combs showed her the final draft of a statement he had prepared in response to the video’s release. “I remember that I felt that it was more heartfelt and I thought it was a good enough apologetic letter, given the circumstances,” “Jane” testified.

“Did you and Sean talk about what you saw in that video?” Comey asked.

“Jane” told the court that she did, testifying that Combs told her “that was the only time they had physical violence like that.”

“Jane” then testified that she left Miami for Los Angeles, where she remembered seeing Combs’ Instagram post that said, in part, “My behavior on the video is inexcusable.”

The jury heard the entire statement that Combs posted online.

“I felt disappointed in him,” “Jane” testified. “I didn’t feel it was genuine,” referring to the online post.
