A former girlfriend of Sean Combs was cross-examined by the music mogul’s lawyers on Tuesday morning. Questioned about the affection between them during a three-year relationship, she said that she “felt very loved by him.”

The woman, Jane, who is appearing in court under a pseudonym to protect her privacy, described how she cherished their time cuddling and watching “Dateline” on television, and how she comforted him with foot rubs. “He was my baby,” Jane said.

The defense’s questioning sought to counter Jane’s testimony over the previous three days, in which she described taking part in what she called “hotel nights”: drug-fueled sex marathons with hired male escorts, which Jane said she did not want to engage in, and which led to problems like frequent urinary tract infections.

Under questioning from Teny Geragos, a lawyer for Mr. Combs, Jane said she was eager to please Mr. Combs, and that she felt their hotel nights satisfied him.

“Do you feel that you were the only person who knew what he truly liked sexually?” Ms. Geragos asked Jane.

“Yes,” Jane responded.

She also said there was an “expectation” in their relationship that she would participate in hotel nights and help set them up: “I picked up on that fairly quickly, and I would make these arrangements because the undertone was an expectation.”
