Former Assistant Testifies Abuse, Forced Labor, Sexual Assault Against Diddy

In the ongoing federal trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs, a former personal assistant known as "Mia" provided emotional and graphic testimony alleging years of abuse, forced labor, and sexual assault while working for Combs between 2009 and 2017. Mia described a toxic work environment marked by violent outbursts, including physical assaults by Combs and witnessing violence against his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, corroborating other testimony that depicted Combs' behavior as erratic and dangerous. She testified to enduring grueling work conditions without rest, being forced to take stimulants to stay awake, and being subjected to sexual assaults, including incidents at Combs' Los Angeles home and his 40th birthday party. Mia's testimony supports the prosecution's argument that Combs operated a criminal enterprise built on fear, intimidation, and exploitation, although he denies all charges. The allegations include forced labor, obstruction of justice, and racketeering, and if convicted, Combs faces a potential sentence ranging from 15 years to life in prison. This testimony has been described by legal experts as highly impactful to the jury's decision-making in the case.
