Diddy Trial Week 4 Recap: Balcony Dangling, $100K in a Paper Bag & Ex-Girlfriend’s Tearful Testimony

Sean “Diddy” Combs' fourth week of trial is recapped. The week included an allegation of balcony dangling and an ex-girlfriend's emotional testimony.

The fourth week of Sean “Diddy” Combs ‘ sex-trafficking trial featured dramatic testimony about the rap mogul dangling a woman from a 17th-floor balcony and buying damning surveillance footage with $100,000 in cash in a paper bag, while a former girlfriend using the pseudonym “Jane” got emotional on the witness stand as she described being forced to participate in marathon “freak-offs.” On Tuesday (June 3), a security officer at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles told the jury that Combs gave him a brown paper bag full of $100,000 in cash in exchange for now-infamous surveillance footage of the rapper violently beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Jane’s testimony often mirrored that of Ventura; notably, both women claimed that Combs coerced them into performing sex acts that the rapper’s defense lawyers insist were consensual.
