Sean Combs: "Jane" sobs through her testimony.

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.

Sean Combs: "Jane" takes the stand.

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.

After the Verdict: Unspeakable

SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE: On December 23, 2012, Lizz Melgar Rose got a call no one should ever get: her mother and father had been attacked in their home. Jim Melgar had been stabbed to death. His wife, Sandra, had been found tied up in their bathroom closet. She told Lizz she had no memory of how she got there. Eighteen months later, Lizz got another shock when her mother was charged with the murder. Sandra was convicted in 2017. Lizz believes her mother had nothing to do with her father's murder. And now, thanks to the Innocence Project of Texas, she says she has a better shot than ever of proving her mother's innocence. Dennis Murphy catches up with Lizz to discuss the latest updates in the case and her own journey to heal after the unspeakable happened.

Sean Combs: Witness alleges Combs held her over a 17th-floor balcony.

Combs's team has said the allegation is "baseless," but the witness -- a friend of Cassie Ventura's -- also testified that Combs once got close to her face and said, "I'm the devil and I could kill you." She'll face more cross-examination tomorrow, and then the prosecution's last key witness will take the stand.

listening to Talking Dateline:The Last Mile and at the very end Josh Mankiewicz says what we all know and think and somehow is not addressed enough. Girls and women are taught so many rules of how protect themselves but the cause is not addressed enough that boys and men need to be the ones learning the lessons. I love every episode but this moment made me proud of what I lchoose to listen to ❤️
Too much Diddy
