'Jane' testifies Combs still pays her rent as court adjourns
Sean Combs is still paying the monthly rent for "Jane's" Los Angeles home, she told the jury Friday.
"Jane" testified Combs began giving her a monthly allowance of $10,000 in March 2023 that she used for rent.
She moved into the house the following month and said Combs is still paying for her to live there, according to her testimony.
Each subsequent time she saw Combs after the monthly checks began, "Jane" testified, "I would be with him and another man."
"Jane" testified Combs did not like her teeth and made her get veneers and threw his generosity in her face in a text message that August.
"Look at the roof over your head and that pretty smile," the message said.
Repeatedly, the jury has seen messages in which Jane told Combs about the toll prolonged sexual performances were taking.
"My body hit a wall," "Jane" said in one message from August 2023.
Combs' initial response was sympathetic but, an hour later, sent a message saying, "Rico's free."
"Jane" then texted him a picture of a bloody tissue as evidence that her period had started.
"I needed to prove to him my hesitation was real," "Jane" testified. A subsequent text said, "We should just postpone."
The jury saw how Combs responded. "You have had your period so many times before," his message said.
"You acting weird as f---." The message continued, "I don't believe this fake ass s---."
"Jane" sent a photo of a bloody tampon.
"Why would you send Sean a picture of a bloody tampon?" prosecutor Maurene Comey asked.
"I wanted to prove to him I really wasn't available," "Jane" testified.
She sent Combs a text message the following day saying in part, "I'm not a sex robot."
Their argument, over text, included a voice note from Combs played for the jury.
"I'm about to really about to disappear on you. I'm not going to be playing these games with you," the voice note said. "I can't do this s--- with you each time you get upset."
Jane responded, "You've been making things completely transactional...you've been threatening me any chance you get...this s--- is sick."
She explained to the jury that "Sean was just hovering the house over my head, just always brought it up in so many ways. It just always felt like he wanted me to know that he was doing this for me."
"Jane's" testimony, at turns anguished, distressing and raw, concludes four weeks of testimony. She will be back on the witness stand Monday.
Court is adjourned for the weekend.
