What are the charges against Diddy?
Before we get into things, a reminder, Diddy is charged with sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution and racketeering with conspiracy, all of which he has consistently denied. Just a warning, this episode contains descriptions of violence and graphic descriptions of sex. Now, this is our roundup episode today. So you're going to be hearing from our resident criminal defense attorney later, Sean Kent. But first of all, we have the BBC's New York correspondent, Neda Tawfiq, to walk us through what was said in court today and go through what's been said for the rest of the week. Hi, Neda.
Hi, Anoushka.
So let's start with the woman who's testifying under the pseudonym Jane. She took the stand for the first time today. What did we hear?
Who is Jane and what did her testimony reveal?
Yeah, well, Jane went right to the beginning of when she met Diddy. She said she met him on a girls' trip to Miami and that they didn't get together right away, but eventually they did in 2021. And she talks about how he was extremely charming, how their first date lasted five days. At the end of it, they said started using the L word for love. And she talks about how she was open with him, that she had a son with someone who he didn't get along with, and that she had also been with somebody who was close to him previously. But that Sean, as she called him, Diddy, said that hadn't bothered him at all. And she said that really it was Diddy who started to introduce drugs more regularly into her life.
having molly, ketamine, ecstasy pretty frequently in their sex life. And there was a moment on the stand where she actually started crying. It was the only moment she started crying and actually dabbed the tears away from her eyes with a tissue. And that's when She spoke about May 2021, and she said that was the first time that Diddy introduced the idea of these fantasies. Now, they didn't call them freak offs. Again, these kind of drug fueled sex nights with male escorts. They called them debauchery nights or hotel nights. And she said that there was a real pattern to these nights. She would have to be dressed in lingerie. She would have to wear stripper heels. She would have cream colored light nails, her hair would be straight or up in a ponytail.
Again, they would be in mostly hotel rooms with red lights. And the escorts, again, she describes how they came from this company that Diddy had used in the past. She describes the first one being introduced to a man being extremely nervous, actually asking for the escort to use a condom. And while Diddy was reluctant at first, she testified, he eventually did use a condom. But she said that first night while she was exhilarated by it, she felt it was very taboo and it was exciting. She said it was like opening a Pandora's box after a while because She couldn't shut it. And she said ultimately she didn't want to do it. She started telling Diddy later that she didn't want it. But he was very dismissive of her concerns, she testified.
He would say, fine, we don't have to do it then. You're crazy. Let's not talk about it. And she said, and yet they would still have to do it. And at a certain point, she felt pressure because he was paying her rent at about $10,000 a month. month so Jane on the stand describing very much the early stages of the relationship how these hotel nights played out with some graphic detail about just even the escorts ejaculating on her at the end and that being something that Diddy would expect before they themselves would be intimate and just how that made her feel especially
with the financial pressures and her saying she could never really get her own job it was a lot of pressure to look a certain way for Didion to be available at his beck and call essentially and they did focus on a specific time frame from May 2021 to October 2023 they have a break in October 2023 but they asked her what percentage of that time was spent doing these hotel nights
