Testimony of Former Personal Assistant

  • 🎤 A former personal assistant, testifying under the pseudonym Mia, returned to the stand for a third day in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs.
  • ⚠️ She alleges that Combs physically, verbally, and sexually abused her during her employment.

Defense Cross-Examination Tactics

  • 🔍 The defense focused on a text message Mia sent to Combs after her employment, where she described a nightmare about being stuck in an elevator with R. Kelly, but stated Combs had saved her.
  • 🗣️ Defense attorneys questioned why she would refer to her alleged abuser as her "savior" in a text message.
  • 📹 Mia testified that part of her job included taking videos of Combs, but she never recorded his alleged rages to maintain confidentiality.
  • 📱 The defense presented evidence of loving texts, social media posts, and a birthday video Mia created for Combs.

Social Media and Employment Obligations

  • 💬 Mia explained that posting on social media, including about Combs and his companies on her personal account, was part of her job and failure to do so could lead to trouble.
  • 😊 She stated she posted about positive aspects because "that's not what social media was for" to discuss negative experiences and that she tried to keep Combs happy to ensure her own safety.

Hotel Employee Testimony

  • 🏨 A Beverly Hills Hotel employee also testified, providing details about Combs's hotel bills, including charges for items like candles, deep cleaning, and oil damage.
  • ⚖️ Sean Combs has pleaded not guilty to the five charges he faces.
