The jury heard voice messages that Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jane exchanged on November 22, 2021, when they were discussing seeing each other.
Combs said she could set something up, and said “the last vision we had” involved two of the “entertainers” they frequently used, Don and Sly.
Jane sent back a voice message saying she thought he wanted to save that situation as a “grand finale” once he finished his album. She testified that she was “trying to make excuses to get out of this thing that he’s encouraging for me to set up.”
Jane testified that after these audio messages, she saw on social media that Combs was spending time with another woman. That led into a text conversation prosecutors brought up on direct testimony previously.
“I thought on a quick one to two-day trip you just wanted to see me, but wanted a Don and Sly moment within that time, hotel vibes,” Jane sent in one of the later messages.
The jury saw text messages that had been shown on direct examination — messages in which Jane expresses frustration that Combs is pressuring her for a “hotel night” but is with another woman who’s posting their quality time on her social media. In one text, Jane references that Combs bought the other woman a Chanel bag.
In what became a tense exchange with defense attorney Teny Geragos, Jane said she didn’t garner much from the relationship. It bothered her that other women got nice gifts and excursions from Combs, who she said didn’t give her that same treatment even when she gave in to sex with strangers.
Geragos reminded Jane at this point that Combs gifted her a Van Cleef necklace and a Bottega Veneta bag. Jane confirmed he did, and then quipped at Geragos, “I’m sure you have one.” Geragos said she didn’t.
Geragos then asked, “How much do Bottega bags run?”
Jane shot back: “How much does my body cost?”
The judge cautioned Jane to answer the questions as asked.
When Geragos asked again how much a Bottega Veneta bag costs, Jane said they range from $1,500 to $5,000. When asked, Jane said she didn’t know how much a Chanel bag costs.
Jane then asked for a break.
