Sean “Diddy” Combs’ girlfriend alleged on Tuesday that Combs had her transport drugs to Florida.
The accuser known as “Jane” was given immunity for her testimony during the trial. Defense attorney Teny Geragos disclosed text exchanges between Jane and Diddy’s chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, in which they discussed travel logistics. However, Jane claimed that conversations about moving drugs took place over the phone, as reported by CNN.
Jane claimed Khorram told her it was fine for her to transport drugs for Combs, and to smuggle the drugs in her checked luggage.
“She’s not asking you to do it here, right?” Geragos asked Jane. “She says, ‘He is going to have you pick up a package.’ ”
Jane and Diddy were in a relationship from 2021 to 2024. She has previously spoken about alleged sexual encounters organized by Diddy, referred to as “hotel nights.” Jane claimed that Diddy would watch these encounters, stating that she felt she had to be under the influence of drugs to participate.
Jane is one of three individuals who have come forward with allegations of physical or sexual misconduct against Diddy. Another accuser, Ventura, who was in a relationship with Diddy from 2007 to 2018, testified that he hindered her music career and coerced her into participating in what she described as “freak offs.” These activities often involved her engaging in sexual acts with other men in Diddy’s presence. Ventura recounted that these drug-fueled situations left her sleep-deprived and dehydrated, lasting for days on end.
Another victim, who used the alias “Mia,” worked as Combs’ assistant for eight years. She accused Combs of forcing her to perform oral sex and sneaking into her bed to penetrate her without her consent. She also claimed Combs hurled objects at her and threw her against a wall.
Combs was arrested on September 16, 2024, outside a Manhattan hotel on federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has been denied bail three times, as Judge Andrew L. Carter determined there was a “serious risk” of witness tampering in this case.
Federal authorities raided Combs’ homes in Holmby Hills, California, and Miami in March 2024. Reports indicated that the raids were connected to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation that resulted in his arrest months later.
The raids also occurred four months after Ventura accused him of sex trafficking and abuse. In a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, she alleged that Combs drugged her and forced her to have sex with other men. The pair settled the lawsuit a day after its filing.
However, in May 2024, CNN publicized hotel surveillance footage allegedly showing Combs assaulting Ventura. Two days later, Combs released a video expressing remorse for his behavior.
“I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry,” he said.
Two more accusers came forward a week after Ventura’s lawsuit. One of the women claimed Combs drugged and raped her at Syracuse University in New York in 1991. Combs denied those allegations before a third accuser, Liza Gardner, levied similar allegations against him.
Days after footage of the Ventura assault was publicized, two more women filed lawsuits against Combs. One of those women was April Lampros, a New York Fashion Institute of Technology student who reportedly met Combs in 1994. Lampros accused Combs of sexually assaulting her on four occasions between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s.
Combs has been accused of committing or facilitating sexual abuse in at least 30 other lawsuits — including one, filed in October, which alleges he and Jay-Z raped a 13-year-old girl in New York in 2000. The accuser in that case had her lawsuit dismissed in February.
Combs turned down a plea deal days before jury selection began. His trial is expected to last two months.
