Cross-examination of "Jane" continues on Wednesday
Sean Combs' ex-girlfriend, known by the pseudonym "Jane," returns to the witness stand for more cross-examination when court resumes Wednesday afternoon as the defense tries to cast her as a willing, not coerced, partner in his "polyamorous" lifestyle.
Jane told the jury on direct examination her three-year relationship with Combs made her feel "manipulated," "used," and "resentful." On cross-examination Jane testified, "I loved spending time with my partner."
She told the jury how she like to bathe Combs and give him foot rubs. "He was my baby," Jane testified. "I'm naturally nurturing."
After Jane told federal prosecutors Combs subjected her to so much sex with male prostitutes it took over her life, defense attorney Teny Geragos sought to highlight the benefits of her relationship with Combs, including a $20,000 investment in her line of swimwear and dresses, $10,000 monthly rent on a 5,300-square-foot home and gifts, including a Van Cleef necklace and luxury handbag.
"What is a Bottega bag?" Geragos asked. "I'm sure you have one," Jane snapped.
"I actually don't," Geragos shot back. "How much do Bottega bags run?"
Jane answered, "How much does my body cost?" Judge Arun Subramanian then reminded her to answer the question.
When Geragos asked whether Combs had given her a Chanel bag Jane replied, "No, I only got trauma."
But the defense appeared skeptical of Jane's claims she was traumatized by "hotel nights."
Geragos showed the jury an effusive text message Jane wrote about a night with a male prostitute that she previously testified left her in tears. "I love you so, so, so, so much," the message said. "I feel closer to you on another level."
The defense also showed raunchier messages that showed Jane initiating plans to "get slutty" or boasting about sex with a favorite escort named Paul. Jane said Combs called them the "trifecta" and they compared themselves to basketball stars. Jane was Kobe Bryant, Paul was Shaquille O'Neal and Combs was Michael Jordan.
"Jane" is expected to remain under cross-examination through Thursday.
