A former girlfriend of Diddy’s took the stand today under the pseudonym “Jane” and testified that the music mogul pressured her to participate in drug-fueled sexual encounters known as “freak offs.” At first, Jane said, she and Diddy shared a loving relationship beginning in 2021, giving each other the nicknames Bert and Ernie. But after her first “freak off,” it became a “Pandora’s box” situation in which, she said, she had to oblige.

The sex sessions could last between 24 and 30 hours with no sleep, Jane said. Diddy would arrange the “freak offs” around the world. As a single mother who came to depend on Diddy, “I felt an obligation because I knew he was paying my rent,” she testified. Known as “Victim-2” in the prosecution’s indictment, Jane is expected to testify over multiple days, presumably building on allegations that Diddy used his business empire as a criminal enterprise to fulfill his desires.
