Under the pseudonym "Jane," she described the atmosphere as "very eerie" when the 2016 hotel incident video began circulating. The unsettling nature of the situation was palpable, as Jane observed Combs retreating into what she characterized as damage control mode.
“I just remember that they were just trying to come up with some sort of sincere apology post or something regarding the video,” Jane stated during her testimony, highlighting the frantic efforts of Combs and his team.
The video, initially reported by various outlets, depicted Combs, dressed only in a towel, pursuing Ventura toward an elevator at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. The footage showed him allegedly kicking and striking her before throwing an object in her direction.
In response to the backlash, Combs released a now-deleted video where he expressed remorse for his actions. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life,” he said. “Sometimes you gotta do that. I was f---ed up. I mean I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.”
This video has been a focal point throughout Combs' ongoing trial, which has drawn significant public attention.
Reflecting on Combs' eventual apology, Jane described her feelings as “underwhelmed.” She expressed disappointment, stating, “I felt there was no heart there,” indicating a lack of sincerity in his words.
Combs faces serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all allegations.
