This is what you need to know about Jane’s fifth day at the stand:
- Jane, answering questions from defense lawyer Tey Geragos, said he started some “fans” with Diddy. Diddy’s lawyers entered as photos of evidence of a room, decorated by Jane, full of roses and balloons. When asked if he suggested a “hotel night” with two other men on that occasion, Jane said yes. “Yes, that was my suggestion,” she replied. Diddy was “excited about that.”
- At the end of August 2022, after Jane made an appointment with Diddy and a sex worker named Paul, he told the rapper how much he enjoyed such sexual encounters. Jane sent a text message to Diddy that he was “having fun,” and added that “he would never give this for granted and will always make sure he takes care of himself.”
- Jane cried on the stage after telling Diddy in a text message that he was a “blessing” in his life. “I’ve never had a man to take care of me like you,” Jane wrote to Diddy a day after one of her “hotel nights.” She added: “You are the reason for the joy of my son, it means the world for us, I love you baby.”
- Jane testified that he urged Diddy to stay out of drugs and eat healthy foods for 30 days. Diddy suggested a “sobriety party”, a “hotel night” without drugs, he said. The October 2023 party lasted between 12 and 18; Jane had sex with three men, he testified. “It bothers him for how much he loved him and he couldn’t tell him no,” he said. “It bothers me for everything.”
