Summary

Day 17 of the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs took a harrowing turn as Jane Doe, the government’s second sex trafficking accuser, took the stand. Her voice was barely audible, but her testimony was explosive. From luxury hotel setups drenched in baby oil to nights that stretched 30 hours without sleep, Jane painted a chilling portrait of control, coercion, and abuse. Meanwhile, Diddy’s lawyer Rachel Westmoreland ripped into Bryana Bongolan’s credibility... confronting her with hotel receipts and a final accusation of lying to the jury. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down everything that happened on Day 17.

He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.

Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead serious.

0:09.0

We're back inside the federal courtroom where Sean Diddy Combs is facing sex trafficking and RICO charges and day 17 was intense.

0:19.0

We started with the final blows in a brutal cross-examination, and when I say

0:24.0

brutal, that is not hyperbole. This was an evisceration. And Diddy's lawyer, Rachel Westmoreland,

0:31.9

proved once again that she is a viper when it comes to cross. She drilled into every detail of that infamous balcony dangling

0:41.8

allegation, the one where a witness says that Diddy held her over a 17-story ledge. Westmoreland

0:49.1

went after the timeline and the injuries and even some hotel receipts. And I'm going to have all of that in just a second

0:57.0

because we were also introduced to a second sex trafficking accuser, a woman testifying under the name Jane Doe.

1:05.0

Her voice in court was barely a whisper. Like barely. It was really hard to even hear her. But what she said

1:14.6

was proof again that Sean Combs, P. Diddy, is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad boyfriend.

1:23.0

But when it comes to sex trafficker, well, that's hard to say because when it comes to this witness, she's really only halfway through.

And I am so far not seeing it.

Anyway, from luxury hotel setups dripping in baby oil to what she called hotel nights, better known to us now as freakoffs. Those things she said stretched

1:46.3

for 30 hours straight. Jane described a relationship that started with affection and spiraled into

1:54.2

full-blown control. So let's get right into it. Before the jury ever entered the room, the judge kicked things off with a round of housekeeping and it was in the form of a warning.

2:08.0

Any attempt to sketch or publicly share Jane Doe's image, even in chalk, in that main courtroom or even in the overflow room, that would come

2:20.3

with serious consequences. And with that warning on the record, court got underway. And the day

2:27.0

opened with Brianna, Bungolan, better known as Bana. Bono. Bono was back on the stand for a second

2:33.2

day of cross-examination, and yesterday was rough,

2:36.8

right? Today was a way worse. The defense wasted no time, and they went straight to Bana's drug use.

2:46.9

Diddy's lawyer, Nicole Westmoreland, brought up what she called an eight-hour ketamine day
