Sean "Diddy" Combs' former girlfriend said they had "freak-offs" with two porn stars, during her testimony on Friday.
The woman, who is testifying under the pseudonym "Jane," said she and Combs had sexual encounters with Cabral Williams, who used the stage name Sly, and another man who used the stage name Anton Harris.
Why It Matters
Jane dated Combs from 2021 to 2024. She is considered a key witness for prosecutors as they attempt to prove federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution against Combs.

Prosecutors allege that Combs organized drug-fueled parties called "freak-offs" or "hotel nights" in which people were allegedly coerced into performing sexual acts.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies any wrongdoing.

What To Know
Jane said Combs originally arranged escorts for freak-offs and she later started to choose them.
"I didn't like to be surprised by a stranger," Jane said.
She testified that she chose Williams, who she knew as "Chef" through his work as a private chef. Jane said she and Combs watched his videos and discussed the size of his genitals.
Jane said she messaged Williams on Instagram. Jane and Combs later had an encounter with him in Los Angeles, she testified.
She said Williams was familiar to her and "felt like a safe option."
They also had an encounter with Williams at Trump International Hotel in New York, Jane said, and that she or Combs paid him $2,000 to $4,000 each time.
Jane said she also sought out Harris after watching his videos.
When asked by the prosecution if she wanted to have sex with the entertainers, she said no.
"I wanted to impress my lover," Jane said.
She said it is unclear how many men she had sexual relations with as part of the freak-offs and she prefers not to think about it.
Jane became emotional at several points during her testimony, including when prosecutors asked her why she allowed unprotected sex.
"I'm still trying to process," Jane said.
She said she also helped transport drugs for Combs at least twice and flew from Los Angeles to Miami with ecstasy.
What People Are Saying
Jane, during her testimony on Friday: "I didn't want to disappoint my lover."
Defense attorney Teny Geragos, during opening statements: "This case is about Sean Combs' private personal sex life. The government has no place in his private bedrooms. They say it is not about his private sex life, but the evidence will show that it is."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson, during opening statements: "[Combs] used his companies to manipulate women, forcing them with male escorts to have sex while he watched. He and his inner circle made sure he got everything he wanted."
What Happens Next
The fourth week of Combs' trial comes to a close on Friday. The trial is expected to last eight to 10 weeks.
Combs is facing life in prison if convicted.
