Diddy seen in intimate photos revealed by ex-girlfriend as trial enters final stretch: Live updates

Among evidence photos to become public this week is a trove of intimate snaps from Diddy’s relationship with ‘Jane’.

Photographs show the rapper on a beach, in cars, at dinner and relaxed on balconies as they spent time together.

Others are more explicit – they depict his collection of lingerie and dozens of bottles of Johnson’s baby oil and Astroglide.

On December 31, 2021, Jane, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, and Kabrale, a male escort who took part in the freak offs, texted each other.

‘Happy new year love I’m cooking for my family,’ Kabrale sent to Jane.

‘You want to come tomorrow morning,’ she replied.

‘I’m definitely down for that,’ he responded.

Later on, their conversation continued.

‘Are you free to travel today, would love to have you (four heart emojis),’ Jane continued.

‘Here’re your flight info! I’ll have hotel info after.’

Kabrale then said: ‘Excited to see you as well love (two heart kissing emojis).’

The summary chart does not include all the warm texts from Jane to the escort.

A total of 34 witnesses were called by the prosecution throughout the course of the trial.

They testified to the prosecution’s claim that Diddy used his fame and multiple businesses, including Bad Boy Records and Sean John fashion line, to allegedly sexually abuse and exploit women for years.

So far, the blockbuster trial has consisted of a number of bombshell testimonies from his ex-girlfriend and main accuser Cassie Ventura, rapper Kid Cudi, Dawn Richard, a former member of Combs’ pop group Danity Kane, and his former executive assistant George Kaplan, among others.

Before the jury entered the courtroom, Diddy’s attorney’s disputed with prosecutors over text messages the defense wanted to submit to evidence.

The messages, between Diddy and his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, would help support the defense’s argument that Ventura was not forced to participate in freak offs.

The government is attempting to exclude those from being presented as evidence, as they say the messages are irrelevant to the case.

Just as the videos were about to play, a female juror said her headphones ran out of battery.

The defense then noted they were also having an issue and needed a minute to charge headphones.

District Judge Arun Subramanian then told everyone to ‘take a look at your device.’

‘If you press the button you should see a battery meter, if you have no battery, raise your hand and we’ll charge it,’ Arun added.

Nobody indicated their headphones had low battery.

The jury has entered the courtroom at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City.

Diddy will not be testifying in his trial, and according to a legal expert that’s the right call to make.

‘It would be a big gamble for Diddy to take the stand,’ Mark D. Chutkow, a former federal prosecutor, told People.

‘Even though the prosecution has introduced a mountain of evidence of bad acts by charging this case as a racketeering conspiracy, the prosecution would be able to pile on even more evidence of bad acts during cross-examination. 

‘So, it makes sense for Diddy not to testify,’ he added.

The defense is also said to call no witnesses – something Chutkow said is also a good decision.

‘[Their] decision not to call any witnesses will also allow his defense team to argue to the jury during closing that there was no need to take up any more of the jury’s time, because the defense already showed enough reasonable doubt during their cross-examination of the government’s witnesses,’ he explained.

‘It also allows the defense to remind the jury that Diddy has a presumption of innocence and the government always has the burden of proving his guilt, which it hasn’t done.’

Chukow added that if he were to do so ‘he might put himself in a worse position.’

‘Oftentimes, “less is more” when you’re defending a client in a criminal trial. And it’s safer for the defense to read stipulated evidence into the record, such as prior electronic communications between Diddy and the alleged victims.

‘Such stipulated evidence can’t be cross-examined and it minimizes the chance that the prosecution will put on a rebuttal case.’

Diddy is seen in court Monday.

In one text exchange from November 7, 2021 Diddy and Jane discussed their day, the court saw Monday.

Diddy asked her: ‘Hey baby how are you?’

‘Hey cutie i’m good how’s your Sunday,’ she replied.

‘Pretty good, just got back from cooking for brunch,’ he wrote back, before going on to seemingly send her some sort of explicit image.

‘Sheesh you need to come with a warning signs (closed monkey face emojis),’ Jane said. ‘How’s the brunch lol these pics.’

‘It was good, they loved the food for the most part. Lol,’ he replied.

‘I’m serving orgasms and foodgasms,’ Diddy added.

‘(Laugh emoji) That’s def the first time I’ve heard that,’ Jane responded.

Diddy arrived in court Tuesday morning donning an orange sweater.

He was seen sitting at the defense table, combing through papers inside a folder.

The 55-year-old then leaned his head back and appeared to sigh.

Before his blockbuster trial kicked off, the disgraced rapper was told he could wear his own clothes in court and ditch his prison outfit.

But the judge set certain conditions on Diddy, who has designed his own clothing range and once won a prestigious fashion industry award.

He can only have up to five pairs of pants, shirts and socks and only two pairs of shoes – with no laces.

In messages shown to the court on Monday with Bridget Collins, the boss of the escort service Cowboys4Angels, Diddy critiqued the escort he booked.

‘LOL he couldn’t even perform,’ he told Collins.

‘You’re paying for the gentleman’s,’ she responded.

‘He’s lucky he got that,’ Diddy said.

Collins then replied: ‘It doesn’t matter what happens on an appointment..(you could go skydiving).’

‘I’m not trying to be smart to you. Talk nice to me because I always talk nice to you. Being I’m a longtime customer,’ the music mogul said.

‘I’m sorry if I came across as anything other than disrespectful….sometimes,’ Collins stated.

Diddy then said: ‘It’s all good, it’s all love. Anyone else in NYC?’

Court has begun this morning with the judge and lawyers in.

There is currently a dispute over evidence. The jury is yet to to be seated.

The prosecution will call Joseph Cerciello, Special Agent US Dept Homeland Security Investigations, HSI back to the witness stand this morning. Cerciello is their final witness before they rest their case.

He was the self-made New York billionaire whose notorious parties earned him the reputation as the modern day Jay Gatsby, reportedly attracting the likes of Donald Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio and Paris Hilton to his mansion in the Hamptons for his infamous ‘Gatsby-esque’ White Parties – where, according to civil court documents, guests were allegedly ‘drugged and raped.’

Following his arrest on September 16, 2024, Sean John Combs is being held on remand as inmate number 37452-054 at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He faces a string of federal charges, including conspiracy to racketeer; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution, all of which he has pleaded not guilty to.

DEEP DIVE delves into Diddy’s 30-year reign of excess and debauchery in unprecedented detail, starting with his ‘crazy’ fits of rage as a student in the 1980s that earned him the disturbing ‘Puff’ nickname.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ongoing sex trafficking trial has left A-list stars fearful of having their names dragged into the scandal.

But Oprah Winfrey has revealed that her conscience is completely clear.

‘First off, I have never been near a Puff Party – never been near it,’ she told the audience during her panel at the Good Soil Forum in Dallas last week.

‘And anybody who knows me knows if there is a party, I am the first one out,’ she jokingly added, prompting laughter from the crowd.

Oprah was dragged into the Diddy chaos earlier this month after an AI-generated deepfake shared widely online claimed she – along with Jennifer Lawrence and Jim Carrey – was a witness in the trial.
