The iron grip that allegedly mastered nearly a decade of his assistants, Sean "Didi" combs were detailed as long-time employees testified at his federal trial, working for him the next day, walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells and trying to please him in his multiple alleged sexual assaults, and being suspended at work, she was suspended throughout the world because she worked on the whole world without sleeping.
The assistant is using the pseudonym "MIA" as she testified from the booth that she had been beaten up several times over the years and committed sexual acts by the comb from 2009 to 2017. During Friday's cross-examination, defense attorney Brian Steel roasted Mia, questioning why she still works for the comb and often goes beyond her work responsibilities, creating homemade news archive scrapbooks and videos to yell his inner circle as a birthday gift.
"I'm a very caring person," Mia told Steel from the witness stands, and he quickly replied, "Give your rapist? To the man who sexually assaulted you?"
According to Mia, Combs hired a few months to attack her at the Plaza Hotel for the first time. Around this time Combs met 19-year-old singer and soon-to-be girlfriend Cassie Ventura and signed a deal with his bad boy record for 10 Album.
Therapy has been part of the recovery of the post-traumatic stress of her time she worked for the defendant, defined by hot and cold treatment, using her job security as a means of control and verbal abuse. She was finally fired in 2016 and was abandoned by the comb world eight years after being around him. When she was laid off, Mia was working on the big-name film Revolt Fillts to study The History of Bad Boy Records in a documentary. She told the court that the comb didn't even tell her directly that she was letting go. She said the uprising film was closing, and another executive told her.
Mia told the court: "He just said 'I don't want to tell you that, but I talked to Mr. Combs and he no longer wanted to be involved in the film, so he basically wanted to end the uprising movie."
She described the destruction she felt when the carpet was pulled, and the only world she knew was suddenly pulled away. The jury saw her exchange with Combs' chief of staff Kristina "KK" Khorram, where she considered suicide after texting about "the worst thing in the world" happened. She told Steel that her work on the comb was the only life she knew about at the time.
“When I really started to see my dream come true, I didn’t want to leave the company I built,” she said.
The defense’s strategy in cross-examination of “MIA” was to discredit her allegations of sexual assault and reduce the effects of the abuse she described in the past two days by showing her friendly and friendly moments to the comb, especially around his birthday. Steele asked Mia how she posted information to social media about the person who beat her birthday. She replied that as his assistant, she was expected to post a comb's birthday while working for him.
At one point during the cross-examination, Steel asked Mia, Point Blank: “Mr. Coms never had compulsive sexual contact with you that you wouldn’t be true?”
Mia replied, "What I said in this court is true. I didn't lie to anyone at all."
After being fired, Mia hired a lawyer and sought severance. Nine months of back and forth resulted in her $400,000; she testified that she took $200,000 after attorney fees.
Cross-examination will continue when the trial resumes on Monday.
On Friday, President Trump imposed a trade-off in the fate of the comb and a potential pardon, saying he would “look at the facts” if convicted. Trump added that he has never seen or spoken to the comb since he launched his political career.
