Sean Combs: Kanye makes an appearance.

Another former personal assistant of Combs was called by the prosecution. He testified that he set up -- and cleaned up -- "hotel nights," but on cross-examination said that he never saw "Jane" hesitant to participate or appear unhappy afterward. Plus Kanye West pulled up to the federal courthouse in a Maybach. He watched the testimony in an overflow room for about ten minutes.

Sean Combs: "Jane's" last day and more Combs recordings.

Both sides have played voice messages Combs sent this witness, who's testifying under a pseudonym, over the course of their three-year relationship. They're trickling out to the press as exhibits are released days later. The defense says the ones made public on Thursday show "Jane" taking the initiative to set up "hotel nights" without Combs' requesting one. But she testified that the defense was missing the point of the messages. "The undertone of that is -- I hear these things entirely differently," said "Jane."

Sean Combs: "You were welcome to leave, right?"

Defense attorney Teny Geragos pushed "Jane," who's testifying under a pseudonym, on her repeated choice to stay with Combs despite sexual performances that she says she was coerced to join. But "Jane" said Combs didn't make it easy for her to leave him. "He would offer a breakup," she said on the stand. "And then a week later he would be persistent, blow up my phone. Have other people blow up my phone. Be looking for me. Wanting to see me. And he'd be right back in my face."

Talking Dateline: The Other Side of Paradise

Keith Morrison and Andrea Canning sit down to talk about Keith’s classic episode "The Other Side of Paradise.” In 2006, 27-year-old Sandra Galas was found strangled in her car at her home in Hawaii. It would take a combination of new technology, old-fashioned detective work and a father's determination to get closer to solving the case. Keith and Andrea talk about polygraphs, Greek philosophy and what led investigators to their suspect, Sandra's estranged husband, Darren. Plus, they play an exclusive clip from his sentencing and discuss their experiences traveling to the island of Kauai.

Sean Combs: Defense begins its cross-examination of "Jane."

The second witness using a pseudonym said on the stand that she "currently" loves Combs, even after telling her story of a brutal beating at his hands just one year ago. She then testified that she only participated in what she calls "hotel nights" because she didn't want Combs to feel judged for his sexual desires. And after her sexual performances were complete, she pampered him, including giving him foot rubs and turning on his favorite TV show.

I love listening to dateline and I love Andrea but, listening to the coverage on the Sean Combs trial has been difficult. I understand that the thoughts and options follow the average Joe but I also feel like it’s a lost opportunity to educate the public about these very nuanced topics from professionals. Laura Richards from Crime Analyst being a leader in the topic.

No one wants play by play of diddy. No one needs the conversations about the episodes. Just the episodes. And preferably new ones. Please. That’s what you guys do better than anyone else.
Big fan

solid investor

I rated the show a five star, because it is, but stop with the Diddy stuff, he’s worth maybe one or two episodes at most. Diddy sounds like a poor excuse of a human being but I have better things to do with my time.
Get over it

No one cares about Diddy. He’s an ugly dumb monster. Let’s fry him and move on. Stop already!

I love the show but do NOT like the Talking Dateline episodes. The latest one with Andrea Canning and Keith Morrison “The Other Side of Paradise” felt SO awkward!! Andrea’s questions were stupid and the silly giggling was uncomfortable. They really didn’t rehash the episode and there were no new insights. And please stop with all the Karen Read and Sean Combs episodes!!! Just stick to the regular Dateline episodes.
