6
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.920
outside the Manhattan Federal Courthouse on Monday morning, June sixteenth.

7
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.159
As we begin week seven of this historic case. The

8
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.880
courtroom is quiet for now, but last week's testimony was

9
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.520
anything but. Before new witnesses take the stand, let's look

10
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.719
back at five days that left the jury and the

11
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:54.600
country stunned. Monday, Jane's final days on the stand. The

12
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.280
week opened with Jane, Diddy's ex girlfriend and the prosecution's

13
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.799
most pivotal witness, still Bill, under relentless cross examination. Jane's testimony,

14
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.920
which stretched over six days, painted a harrowing picture of

15
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:12.560
life inside Ditty's orbit. She described being manipulated, used and resentful,

16
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:18.799
forced into hotel nights, drug fueled multi partner sexual encounters,

17
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.920
orchestrated by Ditty. Jane recounted how her relationship with Ditty

18
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.920
began to unravel in late twenty twenty three, as she

19
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.879
tried to resist his demands and assert her own boundaries.

20
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.680
Defense attorney Tenny Geragos pressed Jane on every detail, suggesting

21
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.560
she was a willing participant who enjoyed the perks of

22
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.920
Ditty's lifestyle, luxury gifts, a ten thousand dollars a month home,

23
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:45.840
and investments in her business. Jane admitted she loved spending

24
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.840
time with Ditty and even called him her baby, but

25
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.480
insisted that her affection was tangled up with fear dependency

26
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.879
and psychological manipulation. She told the jury she felt compelled

27
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.560
to comply with Ditty's demands not out of desire, but

28
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:05.480
out of survival. Tuesday the Fight, the fallout, and the

29
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:10.360
freak offs. Tuesday's testimony zeroed in on a violent altercation

30
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.960
in June twenty twenty four at Jane's Los Angeles home.

31
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.039
Jane described a knight that began with champagne and tequila

32
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.520
but ended with Ditty allegedly assaulting her, choking her, hitting her,

33
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.800
and dragging her through the house. Jane said she tried

34
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.479
to escape, only to be pulled back and forced to

35
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.879
participate in another hotel night. The defense pressed Jane on

36
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.840
her actions that night, highlighting that she had led a

37
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.080
male entertainer into her neighborhood and never told him not

38
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.319
to come in. Jane explained that she felt she couldn't

39
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.599
say no to Ditty and that her compliance was about fear,

40
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:48.159
not consent. Jane also testified that Ditty's pressure for hotel

41
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:53.000
nights was constant, leaving her sore, tired, exhausted, and overwhelmed.

42
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.080
She described how Ditty would use threats, sometimes about her housing,

43
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:01.639
sometimes about their relationship to insure her part anticipation. When

44
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.680
asked if she would return the money and gifts she

45
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.879
received in exchange for never having to engage in these acts,

46
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:14.080
Jane replied yes Wednesday, regret, resentment, and the struggle for agency.

47
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.919
On Wednesday, Jane's testimony grew even more emotional. She described

48
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.479
feeling bitterness and regret, not just for what she endured,

49
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.520
but for how Ditty understood her so well that he

50
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.280
knew she couldn't refuse him. The jury saw video footage

51
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.879
of Jane and Ditty laughing together at his home, and

52
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.199
heard about a sobriety party in Beverly Hills that Jane

53
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.639
said she regretted agreeing to, even though she consented at

54
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.439
the time. I resent him for everything, Jane told the court,

55
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.919
explaining that her feelings of love were inseparable from the

56
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.840
pain and manipulation she experienced. The defense tried to use

57
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.199
Jane's affectionate texts and continued contact with Ditty to undermine

58
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.479
her credibility, but Jane insisted that her actions were about

59
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.879
survival and that she never had a financial stake in

60
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.360
the trial's outcome. Thursday The Redirect, Survival, Coercion, and the

61
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.759
Price of Compliance. Thursday's redirect brought Jane's testimony to its

62
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.120
rawest point. Prosecutor Marine Comy asked Jane to explain why

63
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.600
she complied with Ditty's demands and why she stayed. Jane

64
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.199
said she felt she had no choice, that her housing

65
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.240
and security were always at risk, and that Ditty's other

66
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.439
girlfriends weren't subjected to the same humiliations. She described the

67
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.399
hotel nights as blurring together in a haze of drugs, exhaustion,

68
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.600
and fear, and told the jury she wished she could

69
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.000
forget them all. Jane recounted the June twenty twenty four assault, again,

70
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.120
describing a choke hold so tight she couldn't breathe and

71
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.439
said she spent hours hiding outside her own house terrified.

72
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.000
She explained that Ditty's pattern of love bombing, lavish gifts

73
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.040
and apologies after violence kept her emotionally tethered and hopeful

74
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:03.439
for change, even as the abuse continued. Friday, new witnesses

75
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.920
raids and celebrity spectacle. With Jane's testimony finally concluded, the

76
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.519
prosecution shifted gears. Jonathan Perez, Ditty's former personal assistant, took

77
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.360
the stand and described the meticulous logistics behind Ditty's King Knights,

78
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.000
from booking hotels and arranging supplies to delivering cash and

79
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:27.600
managing security. Perez's texts and testimony corroborated Jane's account, and

80
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.959
he revealed that he once discovered a sex tape of

81
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.079
Jane and another man on a company iPad, reporting it

82
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.399
to Ditty and his chief of staff. Then came Special

83
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.879
Agent Andre Lahmann, who led the March twenty twenty four

84
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.199
raid on Ditty's Los Angeles home. Laman described the staggering

85
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.120
amount of evidence seized, over one thousand containers of baby oil,

86
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.279
sixteen boxes of astroglide, hidden safes, surveillance equipment, and encrypted

87
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.600
hard drives, prosecutors argued that this was the infrastructure of

88
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.920
a criminal enterprise, not just selelebrity excess outside the courthouse

89
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:07.040
was buzzing, not just with media and protesters, but with celebrities.

90
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.600
Kanye West, now known as Ye, made a surprise appearance

91
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.759
in support of Ditty, drawing crowds and cameras. The scene

92
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.720
underscored the cultural weight of this trial and the high

93
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.040
profile figures it has drawn into its orbit more in

94
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:36.600
a moment. As Week seven begins, the prosecution is expected

95
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.040
to call more witnesses, including additional former employees and possibly

96
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.720
expert witnesses on trauma and coercion. The defense is preparing

97
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.560
to mount its case, likely bringing forward witnesses who will

98
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.000
testify to Ditty's generosity and the consensual nature of his relationships.

99
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.879
The judge continues to keep a tight rain on courtroom conduct,

100
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.839
especially after last week's juror dismissal and RepA warnings about

101
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.519
Ditty's behavior in court. The stakes could not be higher

102
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.879
did He faces five federal charges, including sex trafficking and

103
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.759
racketeering conspiracy. If convicted, he could spend the rest of

104
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.399
his life behind bars. The prosecution is moving to tie

105
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.079
together the stories of Cassie, Mia, Capricorn, Clark, Jane and

106
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.399
others into a pattern of organized abuse and control. The

107
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.519
defense will try to poke holes in every witness's credibility

108
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.959
and argue that the government is criminalizing Ditty's lifestyle, not

109
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.160
proving a criminal enterprise. That's where we stand as the

110
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.720
doors open on another week in this historic trial. I'll

111
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.600
be back tomorrow with every new revelation, every legal twist,

112
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.519
and every rumor from inside and outside the courthouse. I'm

114
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.959
episode of Diddy Did He Do It? Was produced by

AI production assistants may have been used.
