• Sean Combs: Kanye makes an appearance.
    Jun 14 2025

    Another former personal assistant of Combs was called by the prosecution. He testified that he set up -- and cleaned up -- "hotel nights," but on cross-examination said that he never saw "Jane" hesitant to participate or appear unhappy afterward. Plus Kanye West pulled up to the federal courthouse in a Maybach. He watched the testimony in an overflow room for about ten minutes.

  • Sean Combs: "Jane's" last day and more Combs recordings.
    Jun 13 2025

    Both sides have played voice messages Combs sent this witness, who's testifying under a pseudonym, over the course of their three-year relationship. They're trickling out to the press as exhibits are released days later. The defense says the ones made public on Thursday show "Jane" taking the initiative to set up "hotel nights" without Combs' requesting one. But she testified that the defense was missing the point of the messages. "The undertone of that is -- I hear these things entirely differently," said "Jane."

  • Sean Combs: "You were welcome to leave, right?"
    Jun 12 2025

    Defense attorney Teny Geragos pushed "Jane," who's testifying under a pseudonym, on her repeated choice to stay with Combs despite sexual performances that she says she was coerced to join. But "Jane" said Combs didn't make it easy for her to leave him. "He would offer a breakup," she said on the stand. "And then a week later he would be persistent, blow up my phone. Have other people blow up my phone. Be looking for me. Wanting to see me. And he'd be right back in my face."

  • Sean Combs: Defense begins its cross-examination of "Jane."
    Jun 11 2025

    The second witness using a pseudonym said on the stand that she "currently" loves Combs, even after telling her story of a brutal beating at his hands just one year ago. She then testified that she only participated in what she calls "hotel nights" because she didn't want Combs to feel judged for his sexual desires. And after her sexual performances were complete, she pampered him, including giving him foot rubs and turning on his favorite TV show.

  • Sean Combs: Listen to Combs’s messages to “Jane.”
    Jun 10 2025

    On Friday the prosecution played three voice notes Combs sent his then-girlfriend -- testifying anonymously -- over the course of their three-year relationship. On Monday, she read out loud the texts she sent him after Cassie Ventura filed suit against him in 2023. "I feel like I'm reading my own sexual trauma," "Jane" wrote. "It makes me sick how three pages, word for word, is exactly my experience and my anguish." Plus, MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin joins to tell us how she thinks the prosecution's case is looking.

  • Sean Combs: "Jane" sobs through her testimony.
    Jun 7 2025

    A second anonymous witness testified that Combs pushed her to perform with a succession of commercial sex workers. In one text message she sent to him she wrote, "I don't want to play this role in your life anymore. It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself. I feel it's the only reason you have me around and why you pay for the house. I don't want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you in fear of losing the roof over my head." She sent that text in September of 2023 but testified that she participated in "hotel nights" with Combs through the summer of 2024.

    Jun 6 2025

    The woman called Victim-2 in the government's third superseding indictment -- she's using a pseudonym to testify -- was dating him until his arrest last fall. She alleges he coerced her into a version of the sexual performances Cassie Ventura has testified about. She testified that Combs was paying her rent, and when she told him she didn't want to perform sexually anymore, he told her he'd stop the payments.
