Now, he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.

The Trial of Diddy is anticipated to be one of the most historic trials in United States history. This series will bring you all of the up to minute details of the Diddy party rumors, in which many were saying Diddy diddy go away by the time the party ended.

27
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.360
are continuing today with the Friday, May thirtieth, twenty twenty

28
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.520
five testimony in the trial of Sean Combs, and just

29
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.240
a quick catch up on what occurred Thursday, May twenty

30
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.479
ninth in the Didty trial. Mia, who assisted Didty between

31
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.560
twenty nine and twenty seventeen. And keep in mind that's

32
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.400
not her real name, that's a pseudonym. She recalled working

33
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.039
five days straight without sleeping, saying the experience took a

34
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.439
toll quote. I had a physical breakdown. It felt like

35
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:11.080
I was underwater, My equilibrium was off, blurred vision. She

36
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.639
wasn't allowed to lock her bedroom door when she traveled

37
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.240
with Ditty or stayed at his home, she said. Mia

38
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.000
said she also witnessed did he physically attack and injure

39
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.479
his girlfriend Cassie Ventura on multiple occasions. She was quoted

40
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:31.120
as saying, I've seen him crack her head open, adding

41
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.520
that she couldn't recall Cassie ever fighting back and if

42
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.039
either woman did anything without Diddy's permission, Mia said the

43
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.159
punishments were unpredictable and terrifying. Mia also testified about a

44
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.280
vacation in turks and Keko. She said she and Cassie

45
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.639
had barricaded themselves in a room as Diddy banged on

46
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.759
the door, quote Puff is going to kill me. She

47
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.159
quoted Cassie as saying they ran out the back door.

48
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.879
They went into the water, the sky turned black, and

49
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.400
Mea waged whether it was scarier to face mother Nature

50
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.680
or go back to puff And. In the final hour

51
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.039
of Thursday's proceedings, Mia detailed her sexual abuse allegations that

52
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.360
she personally experienced against Ditty. Allegedly, she said he put

53
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.920
his hand up her dress without her consent, assaulted her

54
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.439
on the bottom of a bunk bed sometime in two

55
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.160
thousand and nine or twenty ten, and he forced her

56
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.319
to perform oral sex on him. She feared the power,

57
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:39.600
control and capacity for violence that Diddy yielded, so we're

58
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.800
going to pick up today. Now. This is the testimony

59
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.680
from Friday, May thirtieth, and it was continued with Mia

60
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:52.480
by the prosecution. She walked into the courtroom and interestingly,

61
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.839
she avoided eye contact as she passed Sean Combe's She

62
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:02.279
took the stand and Assistant US Attorney m madison'smiser asked

63
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.120
Mia why she would write I love you in text

64
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.639
messages to Combs even after being sexually assaulted by him.

65
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.720
And remember the prosecution, as I've told you many times

66
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.759
during this series, they're trying to head off what the

67
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.839
defense is gonna say, and obviously that was one of

68
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.639
those things. She replied to that with quote, because it's

69
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.000
just how we talk to each other. When the dynamic

70
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.319
would shift to the best friend dynamic, you're just desperate

71
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.120
to keep it there because you're safe. She was then

72
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.279
asked to describe the moment Cassie learned Combs was cheating

73
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.519
on her. Mia testified that Shawn Combs told her to

74
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.399
go to South Africa with Cassie Ventur in October twenty

75
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.079
fifteen while Ventur was shooting a movie, and while they

76
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.959
were there, Ventura found out Combs was cheating on her

77
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.399
when she saw a video of him with another woman.

78
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.079
Quote they were on the phone, and then at one

79
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.680
point she didn't want to speak with him, so she

80
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.240
stopped answering his calls. Mia said that Comes trying to

81
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:12.759
get her and another one of his employees, Christina Korum,

82
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.240
and others to reach out to Ventura and get her

83
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.920
on the phone, and she said during her testimony that

84
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.160
she was kind of put in the middle. The jury

85
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.000
has then shown a series of messages between Mia and

86
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.360
Shawn Combe's chief of staff, Christina Korum, about Combe's demanding

87
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.439
to speak to Mia so he could get to Cassie Ventura.

88
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.839
Korm repeatedly texted and call Mia in the overnight hours

89
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:42.639
while Mia and Ventura were asleep. Mia eventually answered Korm

90
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.079
this was on October twenty sixth of twenty fifteen. After

91
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.959
she said she spoke to Combs on the phone. Mia texted, quote,

92
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.519
he doesn't sound in the right mind at the moment.

93
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.240
Any reasoning should be in the morning, your time now.

94
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.079
Mia testified when she spoke Comes before sending that message,

95
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.240
Comes was irate forgetting what he was talking about, slurring

96
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.120
quite a bit and saying a lot of irrational things.

97
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.680
The jury then saw messages between Seawan Comb's and Mia

98
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.399
from October thirty first of twenty fifteen, when she was

99
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.680
still in South Africa, with Cassie quote, if you don't

100
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.879
call me now, fuck it all and I'm going to

101
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.199
tell everything and don't ever speak to me again. You

102
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:36.040
have two minutes fuck her call my house now, or

103
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.480
never speak to me again. Fuck ABC and all lawyers.

104
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.959
Let's go to war. That was what Combs had written

105
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.759
in those messages. Mead testified that Combs was threatening to

106
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:52.079
tell vinter about the sexual assaults, but with a different framing,

107
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.600
saying quote, it was as though it was my fault

108
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.800
or that I had a part in it. Mia said

109
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.120
ABC had recently purchased the rights to a comedy show

110
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.839
she had written, and she said it was the most

111
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.120
exciting thing that had ever happened in her life, and

112
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.279
that he was threatening to take it all away. In

113
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.759
text messages that were shown to the jury, Mia responded

114
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.120
saying Ventur was busy and asking Combs to give her

115
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.959
more time. Quote, I'm begging you. Then she texted Comb's quote,

116
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.759
she just texted you. She said, she just needs time

117
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.840
to change. Please just be nice to her when you

118
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.360
call her. It was then that Comes sent a series

119
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.039
of more than ten messages telling her to call him,

120
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.759
before sending a message saying, in part quote, I've come

121
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.320
to the conclusion that it's best that we no longer

122
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.960
have any dealings. Mia then described the need for her

123
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.480
to tiptoe around Combs, saying she emailed Sean Combs a

124
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.440
few times asking him to tell her what to do

125
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.360
after he threatened her job if she didn't leave South Africa.

126
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.000
She went on to say the feast to change her

127
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.440
flight were expensive, so she emailed him that she couldn't

128
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.240
afford it herself. She paid for her flights to South

129
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.080
Africa with her own money. She wrote him in an

130
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.240
email quote, I need to make sure I'm following your

131
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.799
instructions correctly. And she also told him in that email

132
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.360
that Ventura was upset and that she didn't want to

133
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.200
leave Cassie early. Now Combs didn't respond to those emails,

134
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.840
and it's important to note he had directed me to

135
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.480
go with Cassie to South Africa. Remember I told you

136
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:41.519
on the last episode that she testified he wanted her

137
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.840
to keep Cassie company and really he wanted her to

138
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.559
watch Cassie. It's interesting in those emails, though, that she

139
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.080
did tell Comb she loved him more than once. She

140
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.840
said quote, I want to stay with cass but I

141
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.080
don't want to make you mad, And when asked about that,

142
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.000
she said quote, I wanted to s stay with casts,

143
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.399
but I don't want to make him mad, meaning Diddy.

144
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.000
I'm tiptoeing. That's the way I would survive. So I

145
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.759
didn't make him more mad or make him think that

146
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.720
we were doing anything wrong. It didn't matter what I

147
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.639
wanted or what anyone else wanted. It mattered what he wanted.

148
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.759
He was in charge. And then the prosecutor went into

149
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.600
her on again, off again job. I guess you could

150
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.639
say with bad boy records and Mia said she was

151
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.960
suspended several times from her job with Ditty, and she

152
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.960
said they were all for different reasons, including accidentally falling

153
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:40.240
asleep after being awake for days and reacting to Combe's

154
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.240
violent episodes. She said she was suspended without pay in

155
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.080
March of twenty eleven after comes It asked her to

156
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.200
pick out clothing for him and place them in different

157
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.000
parts of his room. When Combs arrived and only saw

158
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.519
some of the clothing options in the closet, She said, quote,

159
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.039
he just began cursing me out and getting angrier and

160
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.080
angrier and going on a rant about the lack of

161
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.679
options and how he hated certain things I had chosen.

162
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.879
She then tried to point out other options and offered

163
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.759
to give him more, and she said that that made

164
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.919
him more Ira. He was just screaming and cursing at

165
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.919
me and wouldn't stop, going on to say that something

166
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:25.720
violent happened between them, but she couldn't recall specific details.

167
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.120
The jury then saw an email Mia received from human

168
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.159
Resources following that incident, noting she was suspended without pay

169
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:38.320
for five days. Mia testified she was told her suspension

170
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.759
was because Puff had said I was being in subordinate.

171
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.120
Mia said she tried to run away from her job

172
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:51.000
working for Sean Combs before she eventually left in twenty seventeen,

173
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.200
but it never worked, and she said she felt that

174
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.559
if she left, she wouldn't be able to get a

175
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.320
job anywhere else. Quote, he would have made sure that

176
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:04.519
he would have destroyed my reputation. I was scared of him.

177
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.320
Mia then testified about a twenty sixteen meeting she had

178
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:13.519
with Brian Offitt, who was a coo of Comb's enterprises,

179
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.000
and at that time, Mia was working for Revolt Films,

180
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:21.120
which was part of Comb's enterprises. She said, out of

181
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.279
the blue, he just says, I hate to tell you this,

182
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.960
but I talked to mister Combs and he no longer

183
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.679
wants to be involved with film, so he basically wants

184
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.639
to end Revolt Films. She said she was in shock

185
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.080
and felt confused because Combs had recently told her the

186
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.200
film company was the only one that had made money

187
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.159
that year. She said she also felt betrayed and rejected

188
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.440
by the fact that Combs wasn't telling her himself. He

189
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.080
had somebody else do it. Mia said she had been

190
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.399
working on a bad Boy documentary at the time of

191
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.480
that meeting, and she continued to work on that documentary

192
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.600
through early twenty seventeen before or she left. She said

193
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.279
Combs and other employees reached out to her after that

194
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.840
documentary was finished, but she was too heartbroken to answer.

195
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.919
Mia also described being kicked off a yacht for counting

196
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.720
money too slowly. She said she was on a yacht

197
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.240
with Seawan Comb's keim Porter and his family off of

198
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.879
Saint Bars for New Year's Eve. This was in twenty

199
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.279
ten or twenty eleven, and Combs angrily told her to

200
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.080
get off the boat because she was counting his money

201
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:34.840
in his safe too slowly. Quote. He told me you

202
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.879
better learn to walk on water like Jesus, bitch. Get

203
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.639
the fuck out of here. Mia said she hit on

204
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.879
the boat away from Combs before she eventually got a

205
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.720
crew member to take her to shore. She said once

206
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.279
she got ashore, the yacht crew radioed her saying Combs

207
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.480
wanted her back on the boat. Mia testified she didn't

208
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.919
want to go, but she was going to obey Puff's orders.

209
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:03.720
Mea also test that after she was let go in

210
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.840
twenty seventeen, she hired employment attorneys to help her negotiate

211
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.840
severance and bonuses, and she said this led to months

212
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.200
of negotiations. She said Christina Korum, the former chief of

213
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.480
staff for shawing Combe, spoke with her on behalf of

214
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:23.120
Comb's and that he believed Mia was stabbing him in

215
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.519
the back by hiring the lawyers. MIA's attorneys originally made

216
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.279
a settlement offer of ten million to Combs and his companies,

217
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.159
She testified. After what she said were months law negotiations,

218
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.279
they settled for around four hundred thousand dollars, and she

219
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.919
said after attorney fees, et cetera, she received about two

220
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.120
hundred thousand dollars Around that time. Mia said she told

221
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.159
some people about the violence that she endured from Combs

222
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.440
during her employment, but she said she never mentioned the

223
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.080
sexual assault. She said she would have died with that

224
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.919
information if it weren't for Combe's federal criminal case. Mia

225
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.039
said the next time she spoke to Combs was after

226
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.679
the settlement, when Kim Porter, the mother of his three children,

227
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.320
died in November of twenty eighteen. She said she would

228
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.000
reach out to him occasionally, like on Porter's birthday or

229
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.919
when a close friend passed away. Quote, I felt so

230
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:23.480
terrible for him and his family. Mia said she and

231
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.480
Cassie still keep in touch, but the frequency of their

232
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.519
conversations vary. She said they spoke on the phone about

233
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.360
a month ago and most recently texted just a few

234
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.080
days ago. She also confirmed on the stand they had

235
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.440
not discussed their testimony in the case, and when asked,

236
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:46.960
she also provided some light on the fact that Diddy

237
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:51.440
was attempting to involve her in the aftermath of Cassie's lawsuit.

238
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.639
She testified in November of twenty twenty three, Comb's longtime

239
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.240
security guard, none As d Rock, texted Mia for the

240
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.559
first time in about two years. She said. D Rock

241
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.639
said in that text a lot has been going on

242
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.919
and that he would call her. On the call, d

243
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.039
Rock brought up the lawsuit, and she went on to say,

244
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:16.120
quote then he changed it to yeah, it's real crazy,

245
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.759
what's going on? Mia recalled him saying, because you know,

246
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:24.320
like Puff and cass they would fight like a normal couple.

247
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.679
Mia testified her radar went off because she knew de

248
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.960
Rock had witnessed Cones be very violent with Vendura and

249
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.799
that it was absolutely not normal. Mia said. D Rock

250
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.799
then said he had just landed in Miami to join Combs,

251
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.799
who wanted to talk to her. She said it was

252
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.440
her impression that Comes wanted her to make a public

253
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:50.720
statement on his behalf. Remember this is after all that

254
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.759
Chitnick came out with Cassie. She went on to say

255
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.639
she never answered Combe's call. Mia said that when Combs

256
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.480
called her, she threw the phone as far it would

257
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.240
go and ran outside. She said it was just so

258
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.160
triggering to see that it was just a reaction out

259
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.960
of the clear blue with me. She testified that d

260
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.319
Roc continued to contact her periodically in December of twenty

261
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.920
twenty three and February of twenty twenty four, telling her

262
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.599
Diddy was trying to reach out to her. Mia said

263
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:24.039
she believed Comb's tasked d Rock with making sure it

264
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:28.200
wasn't a threat. She said she responded until February of

265
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.039
twenty twenty four, when she thought d Rock was getting

266
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.400
angry with her because Combs was pushing him to make

267
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.839
contact with her. Texts were then shown to the jury

268
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.480
where the security guard wrote, I can't believe you're not

269
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.119
hitting me back, and she replied that she had been

270
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.839
scuba diving. When d Rock asked her for her address

271
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.880
to send her something, Mia said she declined, Dee Rock

272
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:54.039
wrote I'm not allowed to send my sister a gift.

273
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.920
Mia testified she never spoke to d Rock after that,

274
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.880
but believed he was trying to under money like a payoff.

275
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.599
Then the jury was shown messages of Diddy continuing to

276
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.920
reach out to me in February of twenty twenty four.

277
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.640
The first message, which was sent February fourth of that year,

278
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.160
said Hey Mia, it's puff. Please let me know when

279
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.680
you get ten minutes to talk Love Me had testified

280
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.920
that she was terrified to had received that message, and

281
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.240
she did not respond. The second message come sent was

282
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.759
on February of twenty twenty four, and it read, Hey,

283
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.559
I don't want to be blowing up your phone. Just

284
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.440
needed to talk to you for ten minutes. Just need

285
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.759
my memory jogged on some things. You were my right

286
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.440
hand for years, so just to speak to you, to

287
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.759
remember who was even around me, and it would be

288
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.680
good to hear your voice. But if you don't want to,

289
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.839
all good, just let me know. Love, Hope you're well.

290
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.119
Me had testified she didn't respond to that message either. Quote,

291
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.880
I just didn't want anything to do with him at all.

292
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.839
He was the person I was traumatized by. She said

293
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.599
she believed his kindness in the messages was a front,

294
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.319
and I bet it was. The prosecution finally, by this

295
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.400
point was done with Mia and defense attorney Brian Still.

296
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.319
He got up to handle the cross and Still began quote,

297
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.720
because of Sean Cone, you suffer a great deal, right,

298
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.920
to which Mia responded yes. The jury then got shown

299
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.319
some photos from MIA's social media. The first damage was

300
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.440
posted on her personal social media account. It was in

301
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.640
January of twenty thirteen, and that photo showed her holding

302
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:46.119
several bottles of Sarak vodka. The caption said quote what

303
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:50.000
we do when You're not around, and she had tagged

304
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:53.559
COM's account me and confirmed to Brian Steele that Comes

305
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:57.240
had sexually assaulted her and abused her by that point

306
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.519
when he asked, the jury then saw two more photos

307
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.400
from October of twenty thirteen. One of the photos showed

308
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.599
Combs at a coffee shop and the caption said, just

309
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.319
the number one guy on the Forbes list getting me

310
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:13.720
a vanilla latte. No big deal, regular people shit. The

311
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.640
other photo showed Mia Combs, Cassie, and Carrie Morgan, a

312
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:21.480
former friend of Ventura's, at burning Man Festival, with the

313
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.200
caption quote take me back. And Brian Still, that defense attorney,

314
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.400
He pointed out that Mia was standing beside Combs and

315
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.920
leaning into him in the photo, then said quote and

316
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:38.119
he terrorized you, right, Mia responded yes. Still then asked

317
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.839
her why she made positive post about Combs on social media,

318
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.880
considering the fact that he terrorized her so much, and

319
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.319
Mia responded, social media was about showing how great your

320
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.680
life was, even if it wasn't true, and also said,

321
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.240
Combe's fans followed her and she didn't want her family

322
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.480
to know what she was going through. So Brian Still

323
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:04.000
then showed another photo Mia posted to celebrate Combe's birthday,

324
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.880
where the caption said, in part, happy new Birthday, and

325
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.559
Still asked me a what that was referring to, and

326
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:16.839
she responded quote, and she responded quote Puff decided to

327
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.039
change his birthday that year, so we all promoted it.

328
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.160
Still then showed a repost me and made on Instagram

329
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.559
where did he posted a photo of them together and

330
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:31.599
wrote quote beside every great man is a great woman. PS. Sorry,

331
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.839
I was acting crazy last night, and when he asked

332
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.880
Mia about it, Mia said that he had threatened her

333
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.279
life on the phone the night before, and she guessed

334
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.000
that was his apology, but she did repost it and

335
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:50.160
she wrote nicest caption ever. Thanks Puff, Love you, You show

336
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:54.160
me the world. Still then asked me if she reposted

337
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:58.559
despite the fact that Comes had threatened her life just

338
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:03.519
prior and traumatized her for years, and she responded yes,

339
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.839
of course. Still then went into asking her about her

340
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:11.160
relationships outside of Diddy's circle, and Mia said she had

341
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.920
friends outside of her job, but she didn't get to

342
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.839
see them or speak to them. Quote, I did not

343
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:22.119
have any external sounding board. Still then suggested she could

344
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.039
have reached out to them, meaning her other friends, had

345
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:30.119
she wanted to, and Mia replied, no, there was absolutely

346
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.039
no time, and I had to get permission to leave

347
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:35.839
or do things. I had to beg to go to

348
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:39.440
my grandmother's funeral, going on to say she was fearful

349
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.039
for her own safety when Combs was unhappy. Quote, I

350
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.319
was in fear anytime Puff was not happy, because I

351
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:50.839
wanted to make sure that he was, because then I

352
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:54.880
was safe. Still then continued showing the jury photos Mia

353
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:58.279
posted on social media and asked her whether she posted

354
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:00.880
a photo of the man who run in her life,

355
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.240
and she replied yes, and my boss and the person

356
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:08.079
I was with at the time. And Still responded with

357
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.279
how do you have a good moment with Sean Combs

358
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:16.000
when you're terrified of him? And Mia said, quote, it's

359
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:20.400
easy because the dynamics would shift. So when things were good,

360
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:24.599
we felt really safe and we kind of forgot about

361
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:27.599
all of those things. The jury has then shown more

362
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:33.240
photos Mia posted on social media from Diddy's birthday. Defense

363
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.200
attorney Brian Still asked me how she could post about

364
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.480
his birthday without recognizing these significance, as this was the

365
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.200
time he sexually assaulted her for the first time. And

366
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.559
she said, it was Puff's birthday, That's what the date was.

367
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.440
And I tried to forget that night and shove it down.

368
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:55.160
I never wanted to think about it again. And still

369
00:23:55.359 --> 00:24:00.279
continued going through photo collages Mia posted annually on her

370
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:05.799
Instagram wishing Comb's happy birthday. After she explained each photo,

371
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:09.119
Still asked me a why she posts such loving words

372
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.960
after Combs had traumatized her for years, and Mia explained

373
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:16.319
that she was expected to post for Comb's birthday while

374
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.920
she worked for him. That was one of her duties.

375
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:23.839
Still then enters into evidence a scrapbook that Mia made

376
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.440
for Combs, and looking through that scrape book, which he

377
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.559
actually pulled out and had her look at, she said, oh,

378
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.119
I remember this. It was so nice of me. She

379
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.839
went on to say that she gave the scripe book

380
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.799
two Combs for his forty fifth birthday. This was in

381
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:43.559
twenty fourteen, and she wrote on it quote happy forty

382
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:48.200
fifth birthday, Puff Daddy in large read letters, followed by

383
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:53.319
a page long handwritten note. In that note, Mia had wrote, quote,

384
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:58.519
puff sometimes life goes by at catastrophic speeds where you

385
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:02.359
never get to live and enjoy it in the now.

386
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.799
She also wrote that she hoped he'd be able to

387
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.359
sit back and take in how much he's accomplished, going

388
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:10.920
on to say that she had put together a book

389
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:15.359
of magazine articles from nineteen ninety one to nineteen ninety

390
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.480
nine to stir up nostalgic feelings of when you started

391
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:23.200
and how you felt, and still pressed her on that

392
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.519
scrape book further and me had testified she made the

393
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:31.039
scripe book after a conversation where Diddy told her quote,

394
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:33.359
I used to look at the world the way you did,

395
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.319
and implied there was nothing left now that he had

396
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.319
done everything. She said it was hard to get a

397
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.319
birthday present for somebody who had a lot of money,

398
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.319
and she thought the book would make him happy. And

399
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.599
so the defense, it seemed like, why they're bringing up

400
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:52.839
this scrap book and kind of pushing it so hard,

401
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.720
is if you've ever done a scrape book, it's some

402
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.920
work involved in that. There's a lot of thought, there's

403
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:03.000
a lot of caring involved in putting together a really nice,

404
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.920
big scrap book. I mean, I didn't actually see this

405
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.640
scrap book, but it covered almost a decade, so it

406
00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:13.079
had to be quite expansive. And they're trying to say,

407
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.400
if this guy abused you all this time, why are

408
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.920
you going out of your way to make him something

409
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.400
like this that he doesn't expect? And we'll move on.

410
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.400
Still then challenge Mia on why she worked for shawing

411
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:28.599
Com so long and did things for him like making

412
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.680
that scrap book for his birthday, even though she said

413
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:36.079
she endured physical, sexual, and emotional abuse for years. And

414
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:40.440
Mia said that her therapist or a psychology textbook would

415
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:44.880
explain it better. But she said, quote, in an abusive relationship,

416
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.000
there are cycles of violence, and that's absolutely true. She

417
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.799
went on to say, I was young and manipulated and

418
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.400
eager to survive. I'm unraveling a lot of this now

419
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.400
in therapy. Nobody was there to say these things that

420
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.480
were happening were wrong. There was nobody around us that

421
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:08.839
ever even flinched at his behavior. I was always in trouble,

422
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:10.960
and I was always just trying to find a way

423
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.799
not to be in trouble. Brian Still then asked, quote,

424
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.759
why did you need someone else saying that it was

425
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:21.359
wrong of mister Combs to make you feel like he

426
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:24.559
would kill you. And Mia responded that she has a

427
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.319
logic brain and a trauma brain, and she said the

428
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:34.359
trauma brain often wins. Quote eventually it would become normalized,

429
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.799
and you're just trying to get back to the good.

430
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.799
You make excuses for people. I'm a people pleaser, I'm

431
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:43.599
an EmPATH. I'm a real follower, and she went on

432
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:46.039
to say I just wanted to do my best and

433
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:48.880
make everybody happy all the time, so I tend to

434
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.400
take a lot more than normal people. I don't know

435
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.160
how to explain that. I don't know if I should

436
00:27:55.200 --> 00:28:00.000
apologize for that. I forgive people all the time for things.

437
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.440
Still then suggested that Mia made up the sexual assault

438
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:11.000
allegations against Diddy. Quote, mister Combs never had unwanted, non consensual,

439
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.799
forcible sexual contact with you, Isn't that true, to which

440
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.119
Mia responded, what I said in this courtroom is true.

441
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.599
I have not lied to anyone at all. Still then

442
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.640
showed the jury some messages Mia sent to Christina koram

443
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.519
shawan Combe's chief of staff. This was in December of

444
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:35.079
twenty sixteen, and Mia testified the messages were following her

445
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:39.359
meeting with another executive who informed her Revolt Films would

446
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:42.880
be shutting down. She wrote to Korm saying, quote, my

447
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:47.000
life is over. The two exchanged a couple of messages

448
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.599
before Mia stopped responding. Korm sent several messages asking me

449
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:56.400
to answer her phone. Mia later responded, apologizing in saying

450
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.759
she'd call Korm soon. Koram said she wanted to make

451
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.920
sure it was okay in these messages that the jury saw,

452
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:08.359
with Mia responding quote I'm not but I'm alive and

453
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:12.119
I love you. Korum sent me a message calling her

454
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:16.200
a superstar and complimenting her, and Mia responded that she

455
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:20.680
was just so heartbroken she couldn't breathe. Brian Steele then

456
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:23.799
asked me and to explain why she wasn't happy to

457
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.400
be free of her employment, which was reflected in these messages,

458
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:31.519
and Mia responded by saying it was the only life

459
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:34.599
she knew that her time working for Combs felt like

460
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.279
dog years, even longer than the eight years she worked

461
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.559
for him. Still then suggested leaving the company that was

462
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.039
a good thing right for her, because you're away from

463
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.480
your abuser, and she responded with quote no, because at

464
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:55.559
the time I didn't realize that. In hindsight it was fantastic,

465
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.680
but at that time it was the worst thing in

466
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.960
the world for me. And with that court for Friday,

467
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:11.039
May thirtieth, twenty twenty five was dismissed and Monday, the

468
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.720
second of June, they'll pick up with the testimony of

469
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:21.279
Mia and that cross examination by the defense. And before

470
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:23.359
we get out of here today, I want to thank

471
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:26.240
all of you for listening, and I truly mean that

472
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:31.079
May was a record breaking month in a lot of

473
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:34.880
ways for Exposed. Scandalous Files of the Elite. We placed

474
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:39.759
on Apple podcast top one hundred charts several times, as

475
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:44.160
well as several other charts. Just amazing how many people

476
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:48.960
are enjoying the content that we're bringing you here on Exposed.

477
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.119
Thank you so much for that. And just a quick reminder,

478
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:57.839
I also do a show with Unspeakables Kelly Jennings. We

479
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:01.519
do a crime related pop I guess that's current crime.

480
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:04.880
It's called The Crime Wire Weekly. You can listen to

481
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.640
it on its own channel. We won't be dropping any

482
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:14.559
episodes anymore on our own individual channels like Exposed where

483
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.119
I've been dropping that podcast, but you gotta follow it.

484
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.160
