Former aide testifies anonymously
During the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs for sex trafficking, a former employee testified anonymously as "Mia." She revealed that Combs had contacted her after singer Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him in 2023, alleging physical and sexual abuse. "Mia" also claimed that during her eight years working for Combs, he sexually assaulted her "on more than one occasion." Combs has denied all allegations of sexual assault, trafficking, and abuse.
Expensive taste in gifts
The anonymous witness testified that she received iPhones, cars, and luxury goods from Combs, according to the BBC. She said that she was required to sign non-disclosure agreements and was monitored by security when entering and leaving the premises. She claimed that Combs would give her permission to speak to others at the dinner table and that he referred to her as "his little bank account."
The testimony
The court heard how the rapper would gift women cars and phones and that the abuse started when she was 17. She claims that Combs knocked her to the ground in a fit of rage and that he would frequently fly into violent moods and inflict pain. The anonymous witness also accused Combs of beating, choking, and threatening her with a gun, claiming that she was "too scared" to tell anyone. She also alleged that Combs sexually assaulted her "more than once."
Combs' response
Combs' legal team has denied all allegations of sexual assault, trafficking, and abuse. They have stated that the case is based on the allegations of a few women who are "driven by money" and that the prosecution is "cherry-picking" the evidence. They claim that any gifts given to the women by Combs were reciprocal and given freely without any expectation of repayment.
