Diddy’s alleged victim testifies under pseudonym to protect identity in rapper’s trial

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym “Mia,” testified to the control the rapper allegedly had over her.

“I couldn’t tell him no…I couldn’t tell him no about anything,” she said during her testimony. Mia explained she didn’t want to be a target. She told the jury she was afraid of being fired and worried about Diddy ruining her future. Mia claimed she was afraid the music mogul would twist the story to make her look like a threat.

“I knew his power…control over me,” she told prosecutors. “I didn’t want to lose anything I worked so hard for.”

Mia said she was concerned her job would be over and she would never work in the industry again. She also claimed she was worried about being attacked.

Mia looked down throughout much of this testimony in Diddy's trial, sometimes mumbling her answers.

Mia, Sean "Diddy" Combs former assistant, told the court she was given a "warning" before an incident with the "Missing You" rapper.

The ex-employee testified Thursday that she was still relatively new when she was tasked with going to Diddy's apartment. Upon arriving, his security guard Uncle Paulie allegedly gave her a "warning" as if "I've seen this before." She said alarms went off in her head.

She went upstairs with Diddy's bags, where he then allegedly asked her to pull something up on the computer for him. While she proceeded, Diddy allegedly sat down next to her, leaned over and put his face in the computer in an uncomfortable way.

Mia said he had never been that close, which made her feel "alarm bells." She claimed she felt "uncomfortable," but "didn't know how to behave."

She testified to faking needing to use the bathroom, and Diddy then let her leave for the evening. Mia said she convinced herself he wasn't trying to do anything, and that Uncle Paulie's warning was a silly joke.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' former aide, Mia, claimed the "Victory" rapper sexually assaulted her sporadically throughout her employment.

Mia became emotional recalling the first time Diddy allegedly sexually assaulted her. She claimed they were at the Plaza Hotel during his 40th birthday, and Diddy had rented a penthouse suite. The main party was downstairs.

The former assistant claimed she went to the penthouse because she had to stay within eyesight. Diddy allegedly asked to speak to her in the kitchen, where he told her what a good job she was doing but that she didn't need to be scared to go to him because they would be working closer together.

He then allegedly gave her two shots of alcohol, which she claimed "hit me kind of hard." Diddy went to kiss Mia and had his hand up her dress, she testified. Mia said she did not want Diddy to kiss her or put his hand up her dress, but she couldn't say no.

"I was shocked ... I froze," she said. Mia said that not only was Diddy her boss, but he was also a very powerful person. She claimed she didn't remember "coming to" and getting from the kitchen to the penthouse.

She testified that she didn't think it would happen again, and that Diddy was likely drunk and wouldn't remember it because "it was a huge accident."

Sean "Diddy" Combs was allegedly physically violent with his former assistant.

Testifying anonymously under the name "Mia," his ex-employee said Diddy hurt her while she was at the Revolt TV office in Los Angeles, Calif.

Mia said she was enlisted to help develop the network, and was there for a "come to Jesus meeting." Diddy allegedly ordered Mia to get someone on the phone using her own device.

Diddy then allegedly ran away with her phone to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, she claimed her arm got partially in through the door, but Diddy slammed it on her arm. At first she believed it to be an accident, but claimed he did it multiple times.

Mia said she thought at first her arm was broken, but she only had bruises. Then, Diddy allegedly "bolted right passed me," down the fire stairs to the road.

Later that day, she saw the "Last Night" rapper at the studio, and he allegedly told her he sent all of her compromising photos to his phone so that he would have something on her. She said she was relieved because Diddy did not see a message with Derek the stylist talking about him, and she also didn't have compromising images on her phone.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' allegedly became violent with his former assistant while on set in Los Angeles, Calif.

The ex-employee, who testified anonymously under the moniker "Mia," told the court Thursday that Diddy once threw a computer at her.

In 2011 or 2012, Mia claimed the Wi-Fi wasn't working in his trailer, so she went to figure it out and report back to her boss.

Upon returning to Diddy, he allegedly told her she shouldn't have come back unless the problem was fixed, and then threw a computer "very close" to her head.

Mia thought, "Wow he meant to hit me." She testified to running out of the trailer and then hiding near a luggage van.

She became emotional when she told the court she was not only terrified and humiliated, but also confused. She thought something was wrong with her to make him so upset.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' former assistant, Mia, testified Thursday to once attending the Burning Man musical festival with the rapper.

While on a decked out tour bus, which allegedly included black out shades and a disco ball, Mia claimed Diddy pulled out three plates of white powder - MDMA, cocaine and ketamine.

She said that people were taking turns guessing which drugs were which. When it was her turn, Mia attempted to say "no," but "Puff wouldn't let it go."

Mia claimed his tone changed, like she was going to "mess up the whole vibe." She attempted to fake snort the drugs, but Diddy got close to her face and then got upset she tried faking it. Mia said he humiliated her, and then separated a dose for her to snort.

The former assistant testified she then snorted the drugs, but blew them out of her nose when she got away from Diddy.

Mia claimed she had seen a friend go through what looked like "an exorcism" and it didn't look like you were in control of yourself. She said she didn't want to take the ketamine, but didn't feel as though she had a choice.

Mia, who previously worked as Sean "Diddy" Combs' assistant, testified in federal court Thursday that the disgraced music mogul would spend "thousands of dollars" on a "freak off."

She claimed Diddy and his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, would go to hotels for "hotel nights," which would sometimes be multiple nights. She said she would bring baby oil, Astroglide, condoms, and a mix of cheap and expensive candles.

Everything had to be white, Mia testified. Diddy would allegedly call if needed for unexpected items to be brought to hotels. She claimed he would ask for food, things forgotten from the house and money from security.

On one hotel night at the London hotel in New York, Diddy allegedly asked Mia to bring something to the hotel. Upon reaching the door, Mia said Cassie peaked her head out, "as if she was struggling."

Mia said it was "different than I had seen her before so much that I asked 'are you good.'" Cassie allegedly said she was good and closed the door.

Another one of Mia's alleged tasks was to sweep wherever Diddy was, including the hotel rooms so that there was nothing a housekeeper could take to TMZ and expose his personal, private business.

She described the rooms looking like "a nightmare" with candlewax everywhere, wet towels, water all over the floor, blood and oil.

Mia testified that of all the times before, she had never seen Cassie do something to cause Diddy to be upset.

"I felt like I was bracing myself for something about to happen," Mia said on the stand.

She allegedly sent an email to D-Roc in December 2011 with a request to talk to him, and claimed, "I'm just super worried about P ... something felt wrong this morning, this awful energy." Mia said this time was different because Diddy was "acting different and was hurt."

D-Roc allegedly responded back, "Yeah, it's crazy right now. We def need to talk."

Mia, Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex assistant, told the court Thursday that she never called the police on her former boss.

Even after allegedly witnessing violent interactions between the "Victory" rapper and Cassie Ventura, Mia didn't get law enforcement officials involved because "Puff's authority was above the police," she claimed.

Mia testified that the time was years before social media existed and before anyone stood up to someone in power like Diddy. At the time, she said it may have fallen under confidentiality.

She claimed it was her job to protect Diddy from others because so many people were trying to blackmail him.

Mia allegedly often saw bruises on Cassie's body, including fat lips, busted eyebrow and black eyes.
