肖恩“吹牛老爹”库姆斯是毒品推动的性派对迈克尔乔丹-至少，根据他自己的说法。

　　库姆斯的前女友在另一天的证词中透露了这一点，她声称自己被迫与男妓发生有辱人格的性关系，以满足库姆斯的窥淫癖。

　　这位前女友用化名“简”作证，已经花了四天时间在曼哈顿的联邦陪审团面前走过一段由库姆斯资助、以他的性欲为中心的生活。她说，她花了太多时间参与性接触，以至于库姆斯把她、他自己和一名男伴比作著名的体育明星。

　　对库姆斯来说，他们经常雇佣的男伴是“沙奎尔·奥尼尔”简被拿来比较，贴上了“科比·布莱恩特”的标签简作证说，库姆斯认为自己是“乔丹”。

　　运动对比结束了说唱大亨的性交易和敲诈阴谋审判的第24天，辩护律师试图质疑简的说法，即她是被迫参加性派对的。简是当局针对这位曾经的文化偶像的案件的关键部分，他自去年九月被捕以来一直被关押。

　　检察官认为，库姆斯利用他的财富和影响力迫使像简这样的女性发生性关系，然后利用他的金钱和暴力让她们保持沉默，以保护他的名誉。库姆斯不认罪，声称他从未强迫任何人发生性关系。

　　经过三天的证词，她说她在与库姆斯的关系中遭受的创伤，简在周二的一次完整的法庭会议上受到库姆斯辩护团队的质疑。他们反复强调简发送给库姆斯的明显充满爱意的信息，以及她参与库姆斯性幻想的明显意愿。

　　“我希望你在这里。我们可以在电视上播放视频，然后整天把对方锁在房间里，”简给库姆斯发短信说。“我一生中从未像这样努力过。”

　　辩护律师泰尼·杰拉格斯(Teny Geragos)认为，这些奢侈的礼物削弱了简关于创伤、胁迫和暴力的指控。

　　“不，我只是受了外伤，”当被问及库姆斯给另一个女朋友一个香奈儿手袋的事时，简向杰拉格斯开火。

　　当杰拉戈斯问到另一个奢侈手袋Bottega Veneta时，简向律师开火，“我肯定你有一个，”

　　“Bottega包包多少钱一包?”杰拉格斯问简。

　　简厉声说:“我的身体值多少钱?”

　　证词将于周三下午恢复，库姆斯的律师将进行额外的提问。辩护律师告诉负责此案的法官，他们可能会在周四结束对简的提问。

　　简说她认为库姆斯是一个“绿帽子”

　　简告诉陪审员，她经常嫉妒库姆斯与其他女性共度更多美好时光。她说，她认为库姆斯是“多角形的”

　　“对我来说困难的是治疗的不平衡，”简说。“我没有签约和一个处于公共关系的男人约会。”

　　虽然她说她与库姆斯在一起的大部分时间都被库姆斯观察到的与其他男性的长期性接触所占据，她感到沮丧，但简告诉陪审员，她试图理解库姆斯为什么喜欢看她与其他男性发生性关系。

　　简向陪审团解释说，“我试图深入探究他们为什么如此喜欢看自己的女人和其他男人在一起。”

　　她告诉陪审团，她偶然发现了“cuck”这个词，她将其描述为“一个处于恋爱关系中的男人，通过观看一个女人与另一个男人发生性关系而兴奋。”

　　杰拉格斯问:“这个词对你来说意味着什么?”

　　简回答说，“我就像这是点上。”

　　有关库姆斯性欲的证词出现之际，辩护律师试图强调他们认为简愿意通过了解库姆斯在性方面的喜好来参与与库姆斯的性行为，这可能会削弱检方的说法，即她是被迫进入她所谓的“酒店之夜”的毒品引发的接触

　　简还作证说，她喜欢狂欢，晚上满足了库姆斯的性欲。

　　“我喜欢我们做爱的时候，我说他想要我，”简说。“他会说一些话，比如他从来不想让我离开，还有很多美好的、充满爱意的话。”

　　简将库姆斯的雇员与所谓的性交易拉开距离

　　辩护律师Geragos在她的交叉询问中穿插了关于库姆斯的雇员在他们三年关系中的作用的问题，似乎试图将这位说唱大亨的助理和安全人员与检方案件中心的涉嫌非法行为区分开来。

　　"重要的是，他的员工中没有一个人知道这些夜晚的艺人?"杰拉格斯询问了库姆斯为“酒店之夜”雇佣的男伴。

　　“没错，”简说，强调了库姆斯是如何开始在私人住宅而不是酒店房间里举办性派对，以确保这些活动是秘密的。

　　尽管证明库姆斯的幕僚长克里斯蒂娜·霍拉姆(Kristina Khorram)是库姆斯的“右脑”，通常对他的活动有所了解，但简告诉陪审团，库姆斯试图让她不参与预订和支付性嬉戏护送的过程。

　　"[霍拉姆]知道护卫队加入了酒店吗?"杰拉格斯问道。

　　“我不这么认为，”简回答。

　　通过将库姆斯的雇员与说唱大亨被指控的罪行拉开距离，证词可以帮助辩护律师，因为他们试图对检察官指控库姆斯利用他的商业帝国实施犯罪提出质疑。要判库姆斯共谋敲诈勒索罪，陪审员需要发现库姆斯依赖其他人，如他的保安或助手，犯下至少两起相关罪行。

Diddy trial day 24 recap: Sean Combs considered himself the Michael Jordan of sex parties, witness says

　　Sean "Diddy" Combs was the Michael Jordan of drug-fueled sex parties -- at least, according to himself.

　　That revelation was included in another day of testimony from Combs' ex-girlfriend, who alleges she was forced to participate in degrading sex with male prostitutes for Combs' voyeuristic gratification.

　　Testifying under the pseudonym "Jane," the ex-girlfriend has spent four days walking a federal jury in Manhattan through a life that was funded by Combs and centered on his sexual appetites. She said she spent so much time participating in sexual encounters that Combs compared her, himself and a male escort to well-known sports stars.

　　A male escort they frequently hired was, to Combs, "Shaquille O'Neal." Jane was compared and labeled "Kobe Bryant." Combs considered himself to be "Jordan," Jane testified.

　　The athletic comparisons capped off the 24th day of the rap mogul's sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial, as defense attorneys tried to cast doubt on Jane's claims that she was coerced to participate in the sex parties. Jane is a critical part of the authorities' case against the onetime cultural icon, who has been locked up since his arrest last September.

　　Prosecutors have argued that Combs used his wealth and influence to pressure women like Jane into sex, then used his money and violence to keep them quiet to protect his reputation. Combs has pleaded not guilty and claims he has never coerced anyone into sex.

　　After three days of testimony about the trauma she said she endured during her relationship with Combs, Jane was challenged during a full court session Tuesday by Combs' defense team. They repeatedly tried to highlight Jane's apparently loving messages sent to Combs and her apparent willingness to engage in his sexual fantasies.

　　"I wish you were here. We can play our videos on tv and lock each other in the room all day," Jane texted Combs. "I never c— so hard like that in my life."

　　The cross examination took on a sharper tone as defense attorney Teny Geragos argued the lavish gifts undercut Jane's allegations of trauma, coercion and force.

　　"No, I only got trauma," Jane fired at Geragos when asked about Combs' giving another girlfriend a Chanel handbag.

　　When Geragos asked about another luxury handbag Bottega Veneta, Jane fired at the attorney, "I'm sure you have one,"

　　"How much do Bottega bags run?" Geragos asked Jane.

　　Jane snapped: "How much does my body cost?"

　　The testimony is set to resume on Wednesday afternoon with additional questioning by Combs' lawyers. Defense attorneys told the judge overseeing the case that they would likely conclude their questions for Jane on Thursday.

　　Jane said she believed Combs was a 'cuckold'

　　Jane told jurors that she was regularly jealous of Combs for spending more quality time with other women. She said she believes Combs was "polyamorous."

　　"What was hard for me was the imbalance in treatment," Jane said. "I didn't sign up to date a man who was in a public relationship."

　　Though she said she was frustrated that the majority of her time with Combs was dominated by prolonged sexual encounters with other men that Combs observed, Jane told jurors that she sought to understand why Combs enjoyed watching her have sex with other men.

　　Jane explained to the jury, "I was trying to deep-dive on all the reasons why they drew such pleasure watching their woman with other men."

　　She told the jury she came upon the word "cuck," which she described as a "man who is in a relationship and is turned on by watching a woman have sex with another man."

　　Geragos asked, "What did that word mean to you?"

　　Jane answered, "I was just like this is spot on."

　　The testimony about Combs' sexual desires comes as defense attorneys seek to highlight what they argue is Jane's willingness to participate in sex acts with Combs by learning what he liked sexually, potentially undercutting the prosecution's claim that she was coerced into the drug-fueled encounters she called "hotel nights."

　　Jane also testified that there were parts of the orgies she enjoyed and that the evenings satisfied Combs' sexual desires.

　　"I loved when we would make love and said he wanted me," Jane said. "He would say things like he never wanted me to leave and so many nice, loving things."

　　Jane distances Combs' employees from alleged sex trafficking

　　Defense attorney Geragos peppered her cross examination with questions about the role of Combs' employees during their three-year relationship, seemingly trying to distance the rap mogul's assistants and security from the alleged illegal acts at the center of the prosecution's case.

　　"It was important that none of his employees knew about the entertainers from these nights?" Geragos asked about the male escorts Combs hired for "hotel nights."

　　"Right," Jane said, emphasizing how Combs began hosting the sex parties in private residences insead of hotel rooms to ensure the events would be secretive.

　　Despite testifying that Combs' chief of staff Kristina Khorram functioned as Combs' "right brain" and was generally apprised of his activities, Jane told the jury that Combs tried to keep her out of the process for booking and paying escorts for the sexual romps.

　　"Did [Khorram] have any knowledge that escorts were joining the hotels?" Geragos asked.

　　"I don't think so," Jane answered.

　　By distancing Combs' employees from the rap mogul's alleged crimes, the testimony could help defense attorneys as they try to cast doubt on the prosecutors' allegation that Combs used his business empire to carry out his crimes. To convict Combs on racketeering conspiracy, jurors would need to find that Combs relied on others, like his security guards or assistants, to commit at least two related crimes.
