During cross-examination, Combs’ defense attorneys sought to challenge Jane’s credibility by highlighting her past drug use and suggesting financial motivations for her testimony. They also pointed to her willingness to engage in the activities she previously described as coercive. Jane acknowledged her past struggles but maintained that she complied with Combs’ demands out of fear and emotional dependence.
The defense’s strategy aims to portray the relationship as consensual and to undermine the severity of the allegations. However, prosecutors argue that the evidence supports claims of coercion and exploitation. The trial, which began in May 2025, is expected to continue into July.
