One of Sean Combs’ ex-girlfriends continues to testify during his sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan. The woman, testifying as “Jane”, said she was in bed with the music mogul when CNN first aired video showing him stomping his other ex, Cassie Ventura, in a Los Angeles hotel.
Jane said Combs’ son called to advise him about the video leak. She didn’t identify which of Combs’ 2 sons called him. Combs shares 6 children with Misa Hylton, Sarah Chapman, Dana Tran and the late Kim Porter.
Combs, 55, reportedly paid $100,000 in cash for what he likely thought was the only physical copy of the video in 2016.
Jane said Combs went into damage control, calling his family and friends as the video went viral in May 2024. The video shows Combs, wearing only a bath towel, chasing Cassie down a hotel hallway in 2016.
Combs caught up to Cassie at the elevator, threw her to the floor and stomped her with a socked foot.
Jane said Combs and his team immediately got to work on his public apology.
“I just remember that they were just trying to come up with some sort of sincere apology post or something regarding the video,” Jane said.
Combs later shared a since-deleted apology video on his Instagram account.
“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life,” Combs said “Sometimes you gotta do that. I was f—ed up. I mean I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”
Jane told the jury that she was “underwhelmed” by Combs’ apology. “I felt there was no heart there,” she said, adding that she was “disappointed” by his statement.
Combs allegedly continues to pay Jane’s living expenses, including $10,000 a month rent and childcare for her son.
Rapper 50 Cent dropped hints last week that Jane is the mother of his 12-year-old son.
The hotel video has been shown multiple times during the trial. Combs is not on trial for domestic violence.
