Diddy’s Former Assistant Testifies on Abuse Allegations in Racketeering Trial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently on trial for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution purposes, accused of abusing women to fulfill his sexual desires. A former assistant, known as 'Mia,' testified over several days that Combs physically, verbally, and sexually abused her during her eight-year tenure, describing the assaults as sporadic and expressing how difficult it has been to discuss the trauma. During cross-examination, the defense highlighted supportive and affectionate texts Mia sent to Combs, including one where she described a nightmare involving being trapped with convicted sex trafficker R. Kelly and being rescued by Combs, which raised questions about her conflicting feelings. Mia explained that positive posts and messages were part of her job and that maintaining Combs' happiness was a means of safety, revealing the complexity of her experience and the power dynamics involved. The trial has also included testimony on Combs’ personal and hotel expenses, with the defense challenging the credibility of accusers and suggesting motives such as financial gain. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges as the trial continues to unfold in a New York federal courtroom.
