Today, defense attorney Teny Geragos cross-examined “Jane,” a pseudonym for one of Diddy’s ex-girlfriends. Geragos pressed her about the inner workings of her relationship with the hip-hop mogul and tried to complicate her wrenching allegations of forced sex, physical violence and abuse.

Here’s what you need to know:

“Jane” repeatedly broke down crying during her direct examination yesterday. But she was markedly more reserved and less visibly emotional during today’s cross-examination. In one notable moment, however, she became testy with Geragos during an exchange about luxury handbags.

Geragos asked her whether she had ever received Bottega bags. “Jane” replied: “I’m sure you have one.” Geragos then asked her how much a Bottega bag costs. “Jane” responded: “How much does my body cost?” The witness asked for a short break after the heated back and forth.
