Earlier this week, Judge Arun Subramanian was monitoring a potential issue with Juror #6, and it was revealed Friday that the matter is over where the juror lives -- but Subramanian said there was no issue with his qualifications to serve.

"There was a question really of just residence," Subramanian said Friday before the day’s testimony began.

The juror is a 41-year-old Bronx man who works in a correctional facility. The judge said the juror made an offhand remark during a casual conversation indicating that his family had moved to New Jersey in recent weeks.

"The juror has said multiple things that cannot all be true," prosecutor Mitzi Steiner said.

The defense said the juror’s remarks were "innocuous" statements.

"These were harmless, non-deceitful responses of a juror unfamiliar with courtroom conditions," defense attorney Marc Agnifilo said.

The judge appeared to agree.

"There’s maybe an inkling of something, but not much more than that," Subramanian said.

The judge shot down the defense assertion that prosecutors were making a "thinly-veiled attempt to remove a black juror" from the panel.

"There is absolutely no basis for that suggestion. Absolutely zero," Subramanian said. "From the outset of this proceeding to the current date, there has been no showing of any kind of biased conduct or manner of proceedings from the government."

The judge did not immediately decide to do anything. He said it’s possible he may ask the juror to stay after court to ask him some questions.

After a cross-examination that included dozens of "Jane’s" effusive and suggestive text messages to her then-boyfriend Sean Combs, prosecutors sought during their re-direct questioning to reframe how to interpret those messages.

"Jane," who's testifying under a pseudonym, read aloud a text she sent, which read, “I know what you want, baby,” and “Don’t want to make you mad” before a sexual encounter with a male escort named Paul.

Prosecutor Maurene Comey showed the jury a message that Combs sent to Paul not long after: “Imma need you to persuade her,” the message said.

Did you know that Sean had sent this text to Paul saying ‘Imma need you to persuade her?’” Comey asked on redirect.

“I’ve never seen these messages,” "Jane" testified in response.

“Did you derive physical pleasure from sex with entertainers?” Comey asked.

“No,” "Jane" testified. “I was putting on a show.”

"Jane" told the court she did not orgasm during such encounters but routinely faked it, “Because I was putting on a show.” She also began sobbing when Comey asked about her jealousy of other women that Combs was seeing during their relationship.

“I was just made to be, just carry this impossible pressure and they weren’t asked to hold any of that, that pressure, like I did,” "Jane" testified through tears and sobs. “I just thought it was unfair. All the nights with these men.”

"Jane" also wept while telling the court, “Why do I have to break all my boundaries and compromise myself and they don’t have to? It was never about the women -- it was, 'why am I being treated like this?'”

After the defense, during cross-examination, pointed out texts between "Jane" and Combs about tender moments after the June 2024 episode of physical violence in her house, Comey sought to remind jurors of the night’s brutality.

“Was Sean vulnerable with you when he forced you to perform oral sex on Anton?” Comey asked, referring to the male escort who showed up after the fight ended.

“No,” "Jane" testified.

“Was Sean affectionate with you at all?” Comey asked.

“No,” "Jane" testified.

“What was his demeanor the entire time Anton was in the home?” Comey asked.

“Evil,” "Jane" testified.

“How do you compare in strength to Sean?” Comey asked.

“I don’t." "Jane" told the court.

“What was his tone when he told you to ‘Get in the f------ outfit?’” Comey asked, referring to earlier testimony.

“Angry,” "Jane" told the court.

“Did you want to have sex with Anton that night?” Comey asked.

“No,” "Jane" testified.

“What did Sean say to you?” Comey asked.

“That I better get out there and [perform oral sex],” "Jane" told the court. “That I wasn’t going to ruin his night.”

On re-cross examination, defense attorney Teny Geragos pointed out that the violence occurred while "Jane" knew Combs was under federal investigation, suggesting that she could have reported it.

Geragos asked whether "Jane" would be willing to give up her home, for which Combs allegedly still pays the monthly rent.

“That’s where me and my child live,” "Jane" testified. “That’s a very hard question for me.”

“You receive almost $5,000 a month in child support?” Geragos asked.

“Yes,” "Jane" testified, adding she also makes about $10,000 per month on OnlyFans.

“You have the ability to pay for the home yourself?” Geragos asked.

“I’m catching up on three years of debt,” "Jane" testified.

“And in those three years, he has wired you $150,000,” Geragos said, referring to Combs.

“Is that all I’m worth in three years?” "Jane" retorted in her testimony.

"Jane’s" testimony is now over.

Court has adjourned for the day. It will resume on Friday with testimony from a federal agent; from Jonathan Perez, a Combs assistant; and an additional witness.

The jury donned headphones to listen to long excerpts of a conversation between "Jane" and Sean Combs following a July 2024 trip to visit him in Miami.

Combs put on headphones to follow along and, at one point, offered an earphone to defense counsel Marc Agnifilo, who leaned in close.

The exhibit was offered under seal so the gallery could not hear but defense attorney Teny Geragos read excerpts, including one in which "Jane," the former Sean Combs girlfriend testifying under a pseudonym, told Combs “you gave me so much love,” and another excerpt in which she told Combs, “I value your energy so much.”

On direct examination, "Jane" previously testified that Combs allegedly threw water on her and called her a 'b----' when she expressed reluctance to partake in a sex performance with a third party. She said she ended up taking ecstasy, sprayed liquid molly in her mouth and had sex with a male escort.

"Jane’s" cross-examination concluded with the jury hearing "Jane" say the July trip “ended in a positive moment.”

Overall, the cross-examination appeared designed to establish that "Jane" kept returning to Combs and routinely agreed to participate in sexual encounters he desired.

“Unfortunately, yes,” "Jane" testified often when asked about her assent.

“You keep saying 'unfortunately' but you had agreed to it, right?” Geragos asked during one exchange.

“Yes,” "Jane" testified.

“You regret now that you agreed to it; is that fair?” Geragos asked.

“I resent him for knowing how much I loved him and knowing I couldn't say no to him,” "Jane" testified.

“My question is, you regret that now, right?” Geragos asked.

“I resent him for it, yes.” "Jane" testified.

The cross-examination of the former Sean Combs girlfriend appearing as "Jane" is covering her description of an alleged physical assault by Combs in June 2024 that she previously testified left her with welts and a black eye.

By then, "Jane" had seen the widely circulated 2016 hotel surveillance footage of Combs attacking then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

“You had never seen Mr. Combs in your relationship act like that before?” defense attorney Teny Geragos asked.

“Right,” Jane testified.

“He had never laid a hand on you prior to this night?” Geragos followed up.

“No,” "Jane" testified.

In that moment, "Jane" told the court, Combs said, “Now you want to attack me?”

"Jane" testified she had a “feeling” Combs had taken another woman on a family trip.

“It was a ball of emotions that night. Just resentment for so many things,” "Jane" told the court, before she instigated the physical altercation, about which she previously testified.

“Did you tell defense counsel that you slammed his head into the counter?” Geragos asked, referring to Combs.

“I think I did,” "Jane" testified in response.

“Did you tell the government you pushed his head?” Geragos asked.

“Yes,” Jane testified.

“Do you remember calling him a piece of s---?” Geragos asked.

“Yes,” "Jane" testified.

Geragos emphasized the champagne and tequila "Jane" testified both she and Combs had consumed.

“I probably had two,” "Jane" told the court. “He had two or three and shots in between.” She testified that she also had two shots of tequila.

"Jane" told the court that Combs escalated the violence:
“He kicks me on the back of the leg and I fell on my buttocks. He lifted me up in a chokehold.”

"Jane" also testified that Combs dragged her and slapped her.

When the fighting stopped, "Jane" told the court she changed into an “outfit” and a male escort, named Anton, arrived for a so-called "hotel night" sexual encounter.

“We just made small talk and then he just is in the living room area and just waits around a bit and we invited him into the bedroom,” "Jane" testified.

Jane" testified that before there was any sexual contact, she told Combs about seeing Anton in Las Vegas at the January party she attended with an unidentified famous rapper.

Geragos quoted Combs as saying, “I can’t believe you went to another man’s 'freak-off,'” the latter another name Combs used to describe sexual encounters with multiple partners.

"Jane" alleged Combs told her to take a pill. “That was an ecstasy pill?” Geragos asked.

“Yes,” "Jane" testified.

“You performed oral sex on Anton?” Geragos asked.

“Yes,” "Jane" testified, adding that she did not mention to Anton the violence that preceded the encounter.

“I was just trying to cover my wounds with my hair as much as possible,” "Jane" told the court.

"Jane" testified that Combs left that night without the two of them having their customary one-on-one sex session following a performance with an escort because, "Jane" told the court, he couldn't believe she “went to another man’s freak off.”

Following a lunch break, the testimony of the former Sean Combs girlfriend appearing under the pseudonym "Jane" focused on sexually explicit text messages that "Jane" sent to Combs as the defense continues to attempt to show her as a willing, even eager, participant in “hotel night” sexual encounters with male escorts.

“Want to see that ATL with you,” "Jane" wrote in one message, referring to an escort who lived in Atlanta.

“Have you been thinking about it?” Combs replied.

“A little bit,” "Jane" responded. That message was followed by an explicit text exchange with Combs about the escort's genitalia and her own, including the use of oil during the future sexual encounter, echoing previous testimony.

During another exchange, Combs asked for “guidance” and "Jane" texted “Want to see me [perform oral sex] in a hotel room? I can shower and go to the store if you want. Some fresh outfits.”

Combs texted in reply, “I need something exciting I’m jaded.”
Another exchange included “fantasy talk” about an escort named Paul.

“I want to [perform oral sex on him] while you give me that strong stroke game,” "Jane" texted Combs.

After a few other back-and-forth messages, Combs texted, “Can’t have Paul at my house.”

Defense attorney Teny Geragos noted that despite the contention by prosecutors that Combs and some of his employees comprised a criminal enterprise that trafficked women like "Jane," Combs attempted to shield his housekeeper, house manager and other employees, plus his children, from male escorts.
