Diddy’s ex tells court she ‘enjoyed taking care of him’

During the first day of cross-examination by Diddy’s defence lawyer, ‘Jane’ said she enjoyed taking care of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

His former partner is testifying under the pseudonym ‘Jane’ to protect her identity.

She told the court she would bathe him and fall asleep with him while watching television after ‘hotel nights’ where she would have sex with male entertainers as Combs watched. ‘Jane’ also testified that she still loved him.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to NPR music reporter Isabella Gomez-Sarmiento about the day in court.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.
