Welcome to The Trial of Sean Combs. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had it all. In the 90s and 00s, he produced global hits for the hottest stars in the world, including Biggie, Mary J. Blige and J Lo. Then came the business deals, from vodka to media companies - everything Diddy touched turned to gold. 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.

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.759
Get ready to dive deep into one of the most

2
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.839
gripping legal battles of our time. I'm your host, Jim Chapman,

3
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.559
and today we're unraveling the high stakes drama surrounding one

4
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:36.000
of the music industry's most enematic figures, Sean Diddy Combs,

5
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.600
in a case that has captivated millions. The courtroom has

6
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.439
become a battleground for fame, fortune, in the dark secrets

7
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.799
that lurk beneath the glittering surface of celebrity life. As

8
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.759
the gavel comes down, we'll explore the allegations, the testimonies,

9
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.240
and the shocking twists that could change the course of

10
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:09.439
Diddy's legacy forever. Was this case merely a clash of

11
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:15.280
lifestyles or something much more sinister? With each episode, I

12
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:20.599
will bring you exclusive insights, analysis, and witness testimony accounts

13
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:21.359
that will.

14
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.319
Leave you on the edge of your seat.

15
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.200
So buckle up as we embark on this thrilling ride

16
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.319
through the trial of the century, where the stakes are high,

17
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.200
the drama is real, and the truth is anything but certain.

18
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.840
This is the Trial of Sean Combs. Let's get started,

19
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.599
and we are continuing today Thursday, May twenty ninth of

20
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.920
twenty twenty five to quick catch up on what happened yesterday.

21
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:11.120
During testimony, Christopher Ignacio, a LAPD officer, testified about responding

22
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:15.039
to a break in at Kig Cutty's home in twenty eleven.

23
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.560
The Cadillac Escalade the cops saw leaving that scene was

24
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.319
registered to bad Boy Productions, one of Ditty's companies. Ignacio

25
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.039
said the break in wasn't reported as a burglary. He

26
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:34.560
confirmed during cross examination. Lance Jeminez, a LA Fire Department

27
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.719
arson investigator, also testified and told jurors he found a

28
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.479
Molotov cocktail inside kid Cutty's burned Porsche in early twenty twelve.

29
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.960
Jemina's characterized the carfire as a targeted crime in the

30
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.240
government's indictment against Ditty. If you'll remember, arson is one

31
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.960
of the crimes listed under the racketeering conspiracy charge. Deonte

32
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.000
Nash As testified probably my favorite witness thus far. He's

33
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.639
a celebrity stylist, and he testified he once jumped on

34
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.280
Diddy's back to keep him from beating up Cassie. Nash

35
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.240
also said he was thrown off in shawan Combe's continued

36
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.639
striking Cassie until she hit her head on the bedframe

37
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.719
and started bleeding. Nash also testified that did he threatened

38
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.560
to send sex tapes of Cassie to her parents' workplaces

39
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.879
to get them fired. And also, I announced yesterday that

40
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.599
Cassie gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. This was

41
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.879
two weeks after she testified, and it's her third child

42
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.080
with husband Alex Fines. So that's your catch up from yesterday.

43
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.560
Go listen to that one if you haven't thus far.

44
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.360
And we're picking up today with the continued testimony of

45
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.919
everyone's favorite stylist, Deonta Nash, Stylist to the Stars, and

46
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.680
the defense brings.

47
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.879
Up actor Michael B. Jordan right out.

48
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.599
Of the gate when they start questioning Nash. Nash did

49
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.520
confirm that he set Cassie up with actor Michael B.

50
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.680
Jordan after Combs allegedly was cheating on her. Nash said

51
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.120
that Ventura found out Combs had been with another woman

52
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.560
when she was in South Africa.

53
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:20.399
For a movie shoot.

54
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.920
This was in twenty fifteen, and she also testified to that,

55
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.480
and unprompted, according to Nash, he offered to set up

56
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.319
Cassie Ventura with actor Michael B.

57
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.000
Jordan. While she was on that movie set.

58
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.439
Nash said her and Diddy were broken up at the time,

59
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.600
and he wanted to set him up. The exchange actually

60
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.839
went like this. Diddy's attorney said, quote, you hooked Cassie

61
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.399
up with Michael B. Jordan, right, and Nash replied, indeed,

62
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:57.120
he fine. She fined why not. Ventura and Jordan then

63
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.079
started talking, dating, getting to know each other, et cetera.

64
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.680
Nash also confirmed that Ventura dated Andre Branch, who is

65
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.000
a former NFL linebacker. This was around twenty seventeen, when

66
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.399
Branch was playing for the Miami Dolphins. And then the

67
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.480
defense started showing text messages back and forth from Deonta

68
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.439
to Cassie. One of them said, quote, I already said

69
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.319
I'm gonna ask Puff if I can go, but I've

70
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.279
been turning up too much lately. So the defense attorney

71
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.759
asked Nash what turning up too much meant, and Nash

72
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.839
said that likely meant they were going out too much.

73
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.560
And I guess the defense here is trying to paint

74
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.399
Cassie as a party girl. Defense attorney Donaldson then asked

75
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.839
about a time in twenty thirteen or twenty fourteen when

76
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.920
Cassie Ventura told him the videos that Diddy was threatening

77
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.480
to release showed her with other men. Remember I told

78
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.560
you about that yesterday. Nash confirmed that even though they

79
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.120
had been close since two thousand and eight, this was

80
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.720
the first time he learned she was having sex with

81
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.399
other men. Some things you won't even tell your stylist,

82
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.279
right quote. She kept that part of her life secret

83
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.680
from you, Donaldson asked, and Nash responded yes. Donaldson then

84
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:18.519
suggested that Nash's testimony about his account of Cassie Ventura's

85
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.759
twenty ninth birthday party during the prosecution's examination yesterday didn't

86
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.000
match what he told prosecutors about the incident in a

87
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.079
pre trial meeting. Now just a reminder, Nash testified yesterday

88
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.600
the night they celebrated Ventura's birthday, Seawan Comb's and Ventura

89
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.000
they started arguing at dinner, and Combs told her he

90
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.639
did everything for her, but she couldn't do this one thing,

91
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:49.240
meaning a freak off. But Donaldson suggested the government's interview

92
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:54.199
notes didn't reflect those details. Nash also didn't tell prosecutors

93
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.680
that he saw Combe's pointing in Ventura's face in a

94
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.600
corner of a karaoke bar that night, even though he

95
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.160
testified just yesterday to that, and Nash had a pretty

96
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.240
good response to that. He said he'd testified several times

97
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.399
and he didn't want to expand on many things with

98
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.879
prosecutors during those pre trial interviews because he never wanted

99
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.600
to be involved in the case. He basically said, I

100
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.319
had to be forced to testify. Donaldson then brought up

101
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.920
Nash's previous testimony about a trip to.

102
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.279
Las Vegas over New Year's.

103
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.480
This was in twenty sixteen or twenty seventeen, when he

104
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.720
saw a man in her Cassie Ventur in Seawan Combe's

105
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.720
hotel Root, the celebrity stylist, confirmed that he left their

106
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:42.079
room after Ventura said Combs wanted to invite another man over,

107
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:47.560
and Donaldson suggested that since Nash left without asking any questions,

108
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.600
he must not have had any concerns about Ventura's safety,

109
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.759
and Nash responded with I always had concerns about her safety.

110
00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:00.920
Donaldson then said, but this situation, you left the room anyway,

111
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.279
and Nash said yes. Nash then testified that he stopped

112
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.879
working with Seawan Combes in twenty eighteen, but they kept

113
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.399
in touch afterwards, and he said a little bit of

114
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.720
that yesterday. The jury then saw some text messages back

115
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.800
and forth between Nash and Combs from twenty nineteen. Nash

116
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.920
message Combs and said that he was sending love and

117
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:27.079
Comes responded with yeah right, we was fam and he

118
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:32.360
added that he was disappointed. Comes them referenced quote the trainer,

119
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:37.600
which was an apparent reference to Alex Fine Ventura's current husband,

120
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.879
and he was formerly her personal trainer.

121
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.960
That did he actually hired?

122
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.480
And then Combs texted quote on a real note, how

123
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.840
is she make sure she's all right? And with that,

124
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:54.279
Nash was dismissed and left the stand, and next up,

125
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.200
the prosecution called a witness identified as Mia to the

126
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:03.120
stand and prosecutor her Madison Smiser, will handle the direct

127
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.519
examination of her, and the judge stopped when she got

128
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.840
to the stand and he told the jury that Mia

129
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.840
is testifying under a pseudonym, but that the jury will

130
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.879
learn her real name. He set a passport of MIA's

131
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.919
bearing her true name and date of birth was submitted

132
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.120
into evidence under seal and only the jury will be

133
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.159
allowed to view that.

134
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:25.600
So who is Mia? Well?

135
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:29.639
She was shawing Combe's former assistant now prior to working

136
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.320
for Shawn Combe she worked for comedian Mike Myers as

137
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.039
his personal assistant, so she was pretty experienced working with

138
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.759
very well known people. After that, she was hired by Combs,

139
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.799
and she worked with Combs from two thousand and nine

140
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:49.519
to twenty seventeen, a good long time. And Mia testified

141
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.320
that she worked for Combs in two roles, a personal

142
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.879
assistant and then later a director of development and acquisitions

143
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.480
for Revolt Films. Mia described the work environment with Combs

144
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.360
as chaotic and toxic.

145
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:04.720
Imagine that quote.

146
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.679
It was toxic. It was chaotic, it could be exciting.

147
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.039
The highs were really high and the lows were really

148
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:16.480
really low. Puff's mood determined the atmosphere, she said, and

149
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.200
his mood shifted all the time. She went on to

150
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.320
say that there were several ways Combs has been violent

151
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:27.039
with her quote He's thrown things at me. He's thrown

152
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.840
me against the wall, He's thrown me into a pool,

153
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.159
He's thrown ice buckets on my head. She said that

154
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.919
Comes also sexually assaulted.

155
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.279
Her on more than one occasion.

156
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.759
She testified that she was twenty five or twenty six

157
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.799
when she first applied to work for Combs, and she

158
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.039
said as part of the interview process. Mia went to

159
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.320
comes apartment to meet with him, along with the head

160
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:56.200
of human resources. She testified that Comes answered the door

161
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.879
in his underwear and the head of human resources in it,

162
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.600
introduce them and left. Imagine that you're going for your

163
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.679
first interview and Sean Combs is standing there in his underwear.

164
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.080
She did note that he later put more clothes on.

165
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.840
Mia said she was told she would work forty hours

166
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.600
a week, but testified that she always worked more than that,

167
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.480
and that her starting salary was around fifty thousand dollars.

168
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.039
Man he didn't pay his people shit.

169
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.679
She testified that she didn't sleep during her first twenty

170
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.840
four hours on the job. She initially thought it may

171
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.360
be kind of a challenge as part of her two

172
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.600
week probationary period, but she said that working long hours

173
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.519
with little sleep turned out to be the norm, and

174
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.960
of course many people have.

175
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.000
Testified to that.

176
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.159
She said she often didn't sleep for days when she

177
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:51.840
was working. She recalled one time working for five days

178
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:56.279
straight without sleep. She said she had to use extended

179
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.720
release adderall to help her stay away. Now when she

180
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.480
finally had a breakdown from exhaustion, she said she was

181
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.799
crying uncontrollably, Sean Combs told her that she could leave

182
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:08.679
and get to sleep.

183
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:09.559
What a nice guy.

184
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.240
The jury was then shown a list of some of

185
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:16.840
MIA's job responsibilities she sent to another employee back in

186
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.279
November of twenty eleven. Mia testified that she wrote the

187
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.600
list after Diddy, who she referred to as PD which

188
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:29.639
stands for puff Daddy, made a threatening comment questioning what

189
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.960
she did all day long. So some of the items

190
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.960
on that list included all of puff Daddy's social media presence,

191
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:42.879
main liaison between puff Daddy and Hollywood, puff Daddy's daily routine,

192
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:49.480
keeping him on schedule, protecting him at all times, staying

193
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:54.480
with him puff Daddy's sight unless he advised otherwise, always

194
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.120
while on duty, Maintaining puff Daddy's daily routine in both

195
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.399
professional and in private circles from the minute he wakes

196
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.519
up in the morning until the minute he falls asleep

197
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:10.480
at night, anticipating his needs, whims, and moods. She also

198
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.840
wrote that Combs could ask her to do seventeen thousand

199
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.559
things at one time, ranging from get this, cracking his knuckles,

200
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.679
to writing his next movie to doing his taxes. She

201
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.759
also testified she had an apartment in New York City,

202
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.879
but her roommate's joked that they lived with a ghost

203
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.840
because they never saw her. She said she'd traveled with

204
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.159
Combs and stayed wherever he was or in staff housing.

205
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.840
She said she wasn't allowed to leave combs homes without

206
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.639
his permission, and she recalled one time in two thousand

207
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.320
and nine or twenty ten when she left the home

208
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.240
late at night after Combs had fell asleep. She said

209
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.440
after she left the house, Comes security called her to

210
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.759
let her know Combs had sent them to go find her.

211
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.519
Quote, I got in big.

212
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.000
Mia said she was not allowed to lock her door

213
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.240
when she stayed and Comes homes. She said that Combs

214
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.600
would say, this is my house, and no one locks

215
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.879
my doors. She went on to say that Comes security

216
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:17.320
personnel were allowed to lock their doors. One security guard's

217
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.559
room held the home security system for the entire place.

218
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:25.879
She said there was also a lot of getting cursed out, humiliated,

219
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.879
and berated when she worked for Diddy. She went on

220
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.000
to say she was only his personal assistant for about

221
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.879
a year and that was difficult. Then Assistant US Attorney

222
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.519
Madison Smiser asked her how she felt during that time,

223
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.039
and Mia responded, I didn't have time to feel but

224
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.399
like insanete. Mia said that Commebs gave her a pep

225
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.720
talk when he told her that she would temporarily be

226
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:55.200
the only assistant and positioned it as if we were

227
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.679
going to be doing this as a team. She said

228
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.879
the fact that Comes believed in her made her want

229
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.240
to prove herself to him. Me explained that she and

230
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:08.720
Combs started the Revolt Film Production Company together and it

231
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.720
was a separate entity from his Revolt TV brand. Mia

232
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.639
said she had been essentially running COB's film production company

233
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.919
for years and had finally gotten the title that reflected

234
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.320
her work. She said working at a Revolt Films was

235
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.639
her dream and that working on TV and film projects

236
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.919
was quote overwhelmingly awesome. Mia said she was still doing

237
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.480
some personal assistant duties when she started that new role

238
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.080
at Revolt, and she said her starting salary was seventy

239
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:40.039
thousand dollars.

240
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.240
A few years later it.

241
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.799
Went up to one hundred thousand dollars. And then the

242
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:47.759
conversation got into Cassie Ventura and me had testified she

243
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.440
met Cassie through Combs and that they became like sisters.

244
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.759
She said, we were like best friends sisters, and we

245
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:02.240
are still friends today. When asked to describe in Cassie's relationship,

246
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.919
she said the relationship was quote unequal and toxa and

247
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.799
it was a cycle of highs and lows that he

248
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.440
was abusive towards her. She said Combs was in charge

249
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:17.159
of Cassie Ventur's music career and he always made the

250
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.240
final decisions.

251
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:18.799
Quote.

252
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.679
Those decisions would range anywhere from deciding like what music

253
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.720
would be put out, the visual aspects of any videos

254
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.399
when she would be in the studio, her appearance, or

255
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.240
any sort of shows or appearances or dates or promotions

256
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.879
that she would be involved in. Mia said she was

257
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.240
privy to a lot of the goings on in Comes

258
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.840
Label because many people would contact her to get answers

259
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.200
from Combs, and she said she often sat in on

260
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.440
meetings with Comes in Ventura that concerned Ventura's career. And

261
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.200
then the jury was shown an email Cassie sent in

262
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.799
April of twenty twelve to not only Sean Combs, but Me,

263
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.200
Capricorn Clark, who testified just a few days ago, and

264
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.279
others involved in her music career, and the message said,

265
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.440
in part quote, I have been informed that I cannot

266
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.720
perform on Monday due to the averages in costs. I've

267
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.720
worked very hard, but I cannot support myself on the

268
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.640
things that I need to do in order to move

269
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.799
forward to make this show happen and run smoothly. Comes

270
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.119
responded to that email sent by Cassie by telling her

271
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.599
to reach out to another executive, saying she wasn't ready

272
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.640
and that she doesn't want to embarrass herself again. Ventur

273
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:39.400
responded to that email by saying, if that were the issue,

274
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.240
I would, so since you no longer want to support

275
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.119
your artist, I have to pull out, no label, support

276
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.240
no show. So Cassie is getting kind of in a

277
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.640
pissing contest here with Diddy right. MIAs said that when

278
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.960
Shawn Combs would visit a movie set that Cassie was

279
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:59.519
working on, the production would stop quote, everyone would get

280
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.640
really nervous, and he would ask a lot of questions

281
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.279
and sort of insert himself. And she went on to

282
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.920
discuss how Combe's controlled Ventura, and especially as it relates

283
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.920
to her appearance, saying he was in charge. Mia said

284
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.640
that she would send photos of Ventur's outfits, hairstyles, and

285
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.119
nails while she was at the salon just to get

286
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.599
Comb's approval. She testified that Diddy and his companies paid

287
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.119
for Cassie Ventur's homes and cars, and that Combs would

288
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.759
take those items away all the time when he got

289
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.119
upset with her. She went on to say that Combs

290
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.359
would dictate when Mia could spend time with Ventura, but

291
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.839
it was usually to keep tabs on Cassie or get

292
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.759
in touch with her through Mia. Mia said that she

293
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.519
and Ventur were not allowed to go wherever they wanted,

294
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.559
when they wanted when they were together. She went on

295
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.319
to say when they did something without Come's permission, something

296
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.079
bad and very scary would happen.

297
00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:58.680
Quote.

298
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:05.079
Punishment was typically unpredictable, but typically pretty terrifying. She testified

299
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.799
that Combs would reach out to Cassie repeatedly when they

300
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.359
weren't together, and if Ventura wouldn't answer, there would be

301
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.720
multiple people calling, texting, and emailing trying to find her,

302
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.960
or security would randomly show up. Mia said she saw

303
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.759
Combs attack Cassie, throw on the ground, chase her, and crack.

304
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.279
Her head open.

305
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.559
Mia testified that she never saw Ventura fight back. Quote,

306
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.759
I've just seen her with her arms up to try

307
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:38.640
to stop him and that's typical of everything we've learned.

308
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.359
She said.

309
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.519
The first time she saw signs of violence between Combs

310
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:45.680
and Cassie Ventura was at his home in Los Angeles.

311
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.519
She said she heard thuds against the wall coming from

312
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.519
his second floor bedroom, then saw suitcases fly over the

313
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:57.119
railing into the four year below. Mia said she saw

314
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.119
Ventura hiding behind a bush outside of that home, and

315
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.920
Ventura was crying and shaking. Quote, she had the most

316
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.640
terrified look in her eyes.

317
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:08.440
And she also.

318
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:12.119
Recalled that Cassie waved her hands to signal to Mia

319
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:16.240
that she should not reveal where Cassie was hiding. She

320
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.759
also recalled a time she and celebrity stylist Deontay Nash

321
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.000
were at Cassie's apartment and they were trying to help

322
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:27.440
her pack for an upcoming Trump She testified comb showed

323
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.160
up at the apartment, banged on the door, and came

324
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.920
inside and began screaming at Cassie. Quote, have you been drinking?

325
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.759
She said Combs was crazy aggressive and began to attack

326
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.559
Ventura by throwing her to the ground.

327
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.480
Quote.

328
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.880
Me and Deontae immediately jumped in and tried to stop it.

329
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.039
We were both just trying to get him off of

330
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.240
her Quote. At some point he had Deontae in a

331
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.279
position where I was like scared he was going to

332
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.119
kill Deontay, and I jumped on his back and and

333
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:05.640
y'all remember Nash testified about this exact situation yesterday as well.

334
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:08.039
She went on to say, quote, he threw me against

335
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.440
the wall so quick and so easily, and I realized

336
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:16.079
we were in real, real danger. She then testified that

337
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:20.599
Combs followed Ventor into a bedroom, quote he slammed her

338
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:24.119
head into the corner of the bed, and Ventura's head

339
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.200
started gushing blood.

340
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:27.119
She said.

341
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.720
When the attack eventually stopped, Combs told Mia to get

342
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.079
in touch with an assistant to schedule an appointment with

343
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.759
a plastic surgeon to fix up the gash on Ventura's head.

344
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.880
He told Mia to say Ventura fell because she was drunk.

345
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:46.559
Mia said she followed Comb's directions because she quote thought

346
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:49.160
that was the only way to get her help and

347
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:53.720
because Puff told me to so. Then the prosecutor, Madison Smiser,

348
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:58.319
asked me to describe how Combs appeared during the incident,

349
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:01.880
and she said, his his eyes turned like black and

350
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.640
there was like no getting through, Like I was trying

351
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.079
to get him to stop, and it was like he

352
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.480
looked right through me. Me had testified that it was

353
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.119
the first time she realized quote the severe danger that

354
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.480
we were actually in, and she noted that Comebs did

355
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.519
not appear to be under the influence of any drugs

356
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:22.720
during the attack.

357
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:25.440
You know, the defense has been using the whole drug

358
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:28.720
thing for why he acted the way he acted. She's

359
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.839
saying he didn't look like he was on drugs here.

360
00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:34.079
She then recounted an incident at a twenty ten party

361
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.759
hosted by Prince, one of my favorite artists of all time,

362
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.400
in which Prince's security had to intervene when Comb's attacked

363
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:46.359
Cassie Ventura. Mead testified it was the night after an

364
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:50.240
award show and Combs told me to stay with Ventura

365
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:52.960
at a hotel to keep her company because he was

366
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.359
going to be with his kids. She said a friend

367
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.640
called and told Mia and Ventura about a party at

368
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:03.440
Prince's house. Casts and I debated, like little kids, if

369
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.200
we should sneak out of the house for probably what

370
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.559
felt like forever. So they ultimately went to that party,

371
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.720
and she said we were having fun dancing and watching

372
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:19.039
Prince perform and then Combs arived. Mia recalled seeing his

373
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:24.400
bucket hat in those two licking eyes. Mia and Vitura

374
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.000
took off running out of the house, but she said

375
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.359
Puff caught casts quote. He caught up to her and

376
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.000
had her on the ground. He started attacking her, but

377
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:39.279
Prince's security swiftly intervened. Shout out to those guys because

378
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:42.720
his own security didn't do shit. Mia left and spent

379
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:46.440
the night at a different hotel. She then testified the

380
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:50.079
next day, the head of human resources contacted her and

381
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.720
told her Combs was suspending her without pay for being

382
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.759
in subordinate.

383
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:55.880
She said the.

384
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.319
HR employee did not mention anything about Comb's behavior from

385
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.079
the night before. Mia then testified that she went on

386
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.599
a trip to Turks and Caicos with Combs and Cassie

387
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:12.160
Ventura in twenty twelve. She said she witnessed violence from

388
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:16.400
Combs towards Ventura more than once on that trip. Quote,

389
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.319
I was woken up to Cassie running and screaming in

390
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.319
the room. She was screaming for help and saying, you

391
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:24.119
gotta help me.

392
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.359
He's gonna kill me.

393
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.759
She went on to say that cass is normally very chill,

394
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:33.359
calm and it was like the most terrified someone screaming

395
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.400
for their life that I've ever seen. She and Ventura

396
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.000
pushed furniture towards the door, but Combs caught up to

397
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.680
Ventura banging and screaming.

398
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:43.519
At the door. She said.

399
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:45.839
They ran out of the back of the room through

400
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.480
the patio, and I went to the beach to hi.

401
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.880
She and Ventura then took paddle boards they found on

402
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.440
the beach and paddled out to sea while Combs was

403
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.079
running back and forth on the beach behind the house.

404
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:01.480
Could you just picture of that dreaming at us. She

405
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:05.839
described Combs as irate. Mia said they got far out

406
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.400
into the water, but then the weather started to take

407
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.079
a turn. She said they were trying to decide if

408
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.039
it was scarier to face mother nature or go back

409
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.680
to puff. Eventually they went back to shore. She also

410
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.559
testified about some of the injuries she would see on

411
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.079
Cassie Ventura, saying, quote, I would see bruises on her body,

412
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:29.720
fat lips, busted eyebrow like that, gash on her forehead,

413
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.799
black eyes, things like that. She said there were multiple

414
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:38.039
reasons that she never reported any of these instances. She

415
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:42.200
testified that quote, I believed that Puff's authority was above

416
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:46.079
the police. There was a period where, years and years

417
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.759
before social media or me too, or any sort of

418
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.880
example where someone had stood up successfully to someone in

419
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:55.559
power such as him.

420
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:56.440
She said.

421
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:01.960
Combs also constantly stressed confidential reality. She was taught to

422
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:05.559
believe that the violence she witnessed fell under the requirement

423
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:08.960
of loyalty she had to Combe's business.

424
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:09.519
Quote.

425
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:12.799
I was supposed to protect him from people. So many

426
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.279
people were trying to blackmail him, she said, and I

427
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:20.920
came to believe that reporting anything was blackmail. Mia also

428
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:24.519
testified that Ventura stayed in hotels to hide her injury,

429
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:28.559
saying that when she visited Ventur at a hotel while

430
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:31.880
she was recovering, they were not allowed to leave the room.

431
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:35.599
She went on to say Ventur would eventually leave after

432
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:38.920
her injuries had healed up enough to cover them up.

433
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:42.720
She also discussed the time during which Cassie was dating

434
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.839
kid Cudding, and she said Combs did seem heartbreaking. Quote

435
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:50.680
instead of just mad, Puff was upset. Normally he was

436
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:54.160
just angry and aggressive, and this time he felt like

437
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:58.480
almost a dark calm before the storm. And she added

438
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:02.680
she was bracing herself or something really bad to happen.

439
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:07.160
Mia also testified that Cassie Ventura had visible injuries during

440
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:12.240
the twenty twelve Cans Film Festival. Mia recalled she saw

441
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:16.119
Ventura's busted lip and other injuries in a hotel room

442
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:20.799
with Ventura's hairstylist. She said Ventura played a recording for

443
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:24.519
her where she could hear Combs yelling at Ventura as

444
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:27.720
he attacked her. She said she could hear quote the

445
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:31.599
sound of someone getting hit and being attacked, essentially. She

446
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:35.400
also said that during a movie premiere at Cans, she

447
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:40.400
saw Combs aggressively talking to Ventura through gritted teeth and

448
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:44.960
digging his nails into her arm and remember Cassie testified

449
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:47.519
to that as well. She testified that it was often

450
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.880
her job to clean up hotel rooms she had set

451
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:54.839
up for Combs and then girlfriend Cassie doing a sweep

452
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:59.880
for anything potentially damaging to Diddy's reputation. Mia said it

453
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.160
standard procedure to sweep the rooms to make sure there

454
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.240
wasn't anything a housekeeper could take to TMZ. She said

455
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:10.880
the rooms would be a nightmare with baby oil, candlewax,

456
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.400
and sometimes blood to clean up. Mia said Comebs told

457
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:19.000
her it was period blood. It was also MIA's job

458
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:21.799
to take Combs in Ventura to the hotels and set

459
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.200
up those rooms. She said she'd unpacked tull of trees,

460
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:30.279
including lotions, baby oil, and lubricant. She said candles were

461
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.039
always on the list and that those candles had to

462
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.039
be white and if they were glade, the label had

463
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:39.480
to be ripped off, and she didn't go into why

464
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:44.200
that was. Mia would also be on call in case

465
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.319
Combs asked her to bring something. Mia said she was

466
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:50.880
often with Cassie Ventura before she had a hotel, stayed

467
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.799
with Diddy, and she recalled one of those instances that

468
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.200
stood out to her in her memory. She said they

469
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.400
were in Venture's car, it was in Los Angeles, and

470
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.440
Cassie were a message. She said quote she got a

471
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:06.240
message and was very upset, and added the Ventura told

472
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:10.319
her puff wants to have a hotel night, freak off right,

473
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.000
and that Cassie seemed visibly upset. And she expanded on

474
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:19.559
that further by saying she was more like nervous rilling nervous.

475
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:23.279
She started getting stomach issues because of it. Mia then

476
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.000
testified that the first time she took drugs other than

477
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:31.079
marijuana was that Comes Miami home. She said Comes gave

478
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:34.519
her MDMA and told her she was now part of

479
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:39.000
the Breakfast club. She also described an incident at burning

480
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:42.839
Man where Comes had three plates with white powder, one

481
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.119
with molly, one with cocaine, and one with ketamine.

482
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:46.680
Quote.

483
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:50.839
People were taking turns going up and playing some guessing

484
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:54.799
game on which they were actually snorting. Comebs told Mia

485
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.160
it was her turn, and she said she tried to protest,

486
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:01.400
but Combs became very up set when she tried to

487
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:05.359
fake taking the drugs and separated out the dose that

488
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:09.039
he wanted her to take. Mia said she snorted the drug,

489
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:11.960
which turned out to be ketamine, and then tried to

490
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.799
blow some of it out when she was out of view.

491
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.279
She testified she had never taken ketamine before, saying, quote,

492
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.200
I didn't think I had a choice. She testified that

493
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:25.759
Combs would switch between treating her like a best friend

494
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:29.720
and abusing her. She described a night he threw spaghetti

495
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:34.160
at her in detail. She testified Combs was set off

496
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:36.960
when she tried to briefly go to her room before

497
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.039
leaving his house to pick up some people at his request.

498
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:43.200
Combs told her she needed to go immediately, and she

499
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.279
said he went on a humiliating rant in front of

500
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:49.720
a large group of people, eventually throwing a bowl of

501
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.720
spaghetti at her and landed nearby and did not hit her.

502
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.079
She said she then ran outside barefoot and hid in

503
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.799
a bush until she went to a hotel later that night.

504
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:03.759
She went on to tell of another occasion where comes

505
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.519
through a computer at her head in his trailer on

506
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.960
a music video set in Los Angeles. She said he

507
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.160
was angry because the WiFi didn't work. When she returned

508
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.519
to the trailer to relave that, a production assistant said

509
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:20.400
they were working on it. He cut her off. Quote,

510
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:24.400
he cut me off, started screaming at me that like,

511
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.839
I shouldn't come back here until I figured out this

512
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:30.599
WiFi myself, something like quote, I don't care if you

513
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.599
have to call Bill Gates. And then he chucks the

514
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.160
computer at my head. It just missed me, and she

515
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.519
recalled that at that moment she thought, wow, he meant

516
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:42.000
to hit me.

517
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.880
She ran out of the trailer and hid behind a luggage.

518
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:50.599
Van Mia testified she felt terrified, humiliated, and embarrassed when

519
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:54.680
Combs was violent with her. Mia said the incidents she

520
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.400
testified about were only some of the times Combs would

521
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:01.440
throw things at her. He said when he threw things

522
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.599
at her, she would often wonder if there was something

523
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:08.160
wrong with me that I would make him so upset.

524
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:11.680
She then recounted at times she said he grabbed her

525
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:15.160
phone and ran off, injuring her as she tried to

526
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:18.880
grab the device back, and later threatening to use anything

527
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:22.359
incriminating that he found. She said she was with Cones.

528
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:26.720
They were at his Revolt Media production's office when he

529
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.759
barred her phone to make a call, and then when

530
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.079
he was done with the call, he ran off rather

531
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.839
than handing the phone back to her. Mia said she

532
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.599
was scared did he would see a text she had

533
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:41.160
recently sent to his stylist where she bad mouth comes.

534
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:45.000
So she chased after Diddy, and he slammed her arm

535
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.079
into a bathroom door multiple times while she tried to

536
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.759
follow him. He eventually ran into the street outside and left,

537
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:57.519
and that left Mia incidentally with a badly bruised arm

538
00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:59.039
she thought might have been broken.

539
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:00.279
She said.

540
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:03.480
When she saw Combs later that day, he told her, quote,

541
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:06.480
I wouldn't want someone going through my phone if I

542
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:10.880
had what you had in there, and claimed quote I

543
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:14.640
sent all of your compromising and inappropriate photos to my

544
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.720
phone so that I got something on you just in

545
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:19.400
case you got something on me.

546
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.440
And she added that she was relieved to know she.

547
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:26.559
Didn't actually have anything compromising on the device. The jury

548
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:30.839
then saw emails Mia sent to other staff members after

549
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.119
the incident, where she asked for someone to pick her

550
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.559
up because she was stranded without her phone. When asked

551
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.960
what happened, Mia said in the emails, it was a

552
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:43.519
quote M person story. And then if all this stuff

553
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:49.119
I've already told you isn't disturbing enough, Mia revealed Combs

554
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:53.440
sexually assaulted her. Mia said she had been working for

555
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:56.480
Combs for a few months. She said he asked her

556
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:59.240
to speak with him, and the two of them went

557
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.799
in the kitchen of his home and he told her

558
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.920
she was doing a good job and didn't need to

559
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.839
be nervous about coming to him with question. He then

560
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:10.719
offered her two shots. She said she remembered wondering if

561
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.760
she had eaten beforehand, because both of she took those

562
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.559
two shots and it hit her really hard. She said

563
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:19.440
she was then shocked when Combs leaned in to kiss

564
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.079
her against the wall. Quote, I was shocked I froze.

565
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.880
I couldn't even process what was happening, she said. The

566
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:29.920
next thing she remembered clearly is sitting in a chair

567
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.719
in the main room of the penthouse as the sun

568
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:36.320
came up. She said she thought it would never happen again,

569
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.440
that Diddy had just been drunk, and that it was

570
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.280
probably a huge accident, and she said she planned on

571
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:49.679
never telling anyone. That incident occurred after Combe's fortieth birthday celebration.

572
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.960
She then testified about an occurrence at his apartment in

573
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:56.000
New York. She said she didn't remember the exact date,

574
00:34:56.519 --> 00:35:00.559
but said she was relatively new at her job, and

575
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.119
Mia said she was bringing Comb's bags to his apartment

576
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.760
and his security said something along the lines of quote,

577
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.960
I've seen this before, she said. When she got inside,

578
00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:13.679
Combs asked her to look something up on the computer,

579
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:15.880
and then he sat down next to her, and she

580
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:19.199
got a really weird vibe. She said, comes leaned over

581
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.639
her and got very close, and she said her internal

582
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:24.400
alarm bells went off.

583
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.519
At that point.

584
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:27.559
She asked to go to the bathroom, and when she

585
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.880
came out, she just left the apartment. Then, on a

586
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.000
third occasion in two thousand and nine or twenty ten,

587
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:36.480
she said Seawan Combs raped her.

588
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:38.920
She said she was asleep.

589
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:41.800
And comes la home and comes climbed on top of her.

590
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.440
She said she was sleeping with the door unlocked because

591
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:48.960
she wasn't allowed to lock it. She testified she was

592
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.599
woken up by the weight of a person on top

593
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:54.760
of me and it was Combs, and she said Combs

594
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.519
told her to be quiet and used one hand to

595
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.719
get his pants off. She said, comes then and put

596
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:02.480
himself inside of me.

597
00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:06.519
That's quote. I just froze. I didn't react.

598
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:10.320
When asked how she felt, Mia said she was terrified, confused,

599
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:11.199
and ashamed.

600
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:14.280
It was just very quick, but it felt like forever.

601
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.840
Mia went on to recount another time she said Comb's

602
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.719
sexually assaulted her at his home in Los Angeles. She

603
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:24.239
said she was on the floor in his closet packing

604
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:28.599
a bag when he assaulted her. Quote felt like trash,

605
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.760
adding that she felt scared and ashamed and like an idiot.

606
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:36.639
She said the sexual assaults were always sporadic and didn't

607
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.480
follow a pattern, but happened when Comb's didn't have a

608
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:44.239
girlfriend around. She said their dynamic was that there were

609
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.840
never any boundaries. Quote it wasn't weird for me to

610
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:50.000
be in his room at all hours of the night,

611
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:52.719
or waking him up, or talking to him while he

612
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:56.239
was on the toilet. Even Mea testified she always thought

613
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:59.199
there wouldn't be a next time because they were so

614
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:03.800
random and spaced out of referring to the sexual assaults. Quote,

615
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:07.159
I always thought that the next time I would if

616
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:11.159
there were ever next time, I would somehow be more prepared,

617
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.840
Mia said. After the sexual assaults, she would quote keep

618
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:19.719
it moving. There wasn't a time to stop, think, reflect anything,

619
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.199
Just keep it moving like it never happened. Prosecutor Madison

620
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:26.280
smiles her then asked me if she ever told comes

621
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:30.960
no during the sexual assaults that she described, and Mia responded, no,

622
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.639
I only tried to squiggle out of them if I could.

623
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.880
And Smiser asked why she didn't tell comes no, and

624
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:41.840
Mia responded, I couldn't tell him no, like about a sandwich.

625
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:44.679
I couldn't tell him no about that either. I couldn't

626
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:47.239
tell him know about anything going on to say, she

627
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.480
was afraid she would become a target quote, he would

628
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:54.400
fire me ruin my future and somehow twists the story

629
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.440
into making me look like a threat. She also testified

630
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.800
that another assistant had pre obviously told Comb's chief of

631
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:06.000
staff that she thought Combs had hit Cassie Mia said

632
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.519
that she was told there was an urgent phone call

633
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.840
with a high level employee to discuss how to handle

634
00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:16.000
the assistant. After the phone call, that assistant was fired.

635
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:19.840
Mia said Combs later told her the assistant had filed

636
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:23.199
a lawsuit and Mia may need to take the stand

637
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:27.519
against her regarding an incident where the assistant had punched her.

638
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:31.679
Mia said she didn't end up testifying. Combs also told

639
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.079
her she would have to testify when Capricorn Clark was fired.

640
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:38.079
Quote he said, if there was a lawsuit, I would

641
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:40.400
have to get up on that stand and defend him

642
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:42.760
and say, you know what he wanted me to say.

643
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.719
She testified that she lived in constant fear of Combs

644
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:50.400
physically harming her or following through on threats to ruin

645
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.480
her reputation after he sexually assaulted her, saying she feared

646
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:58.599
being attacked if she spoke out against Combs. Quote, I

647
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:02.079
didn't want to die or get hurt MEA testified she

648
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:05.880
was always afraid of being physically harmed by Combs if

649
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.599
she ever told him no about anything, not just sex.

650
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:10.280
Did.

651
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:14.039
He also threatened to quote tell everybody about the encounters,

652
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:18.079
including MIA's friend Cassie, who was dating Comes at the time.

653
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:20.880
She went on to say, as though I had something

654
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.639
to do with it. Mia felt so desperate, terrified, and

655
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:29.280
trap that she feared if she'd come forward, she'd be silenced, punished,

656
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:33.639
even exiled from what she considered her second family, which

657
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:36.280
was bad Boy records. She went on to say, I

658
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.800
would have lost everything, and asked by the prosecutor why

659
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:43.719
she didn't tell human Resources about Diddy, Mia said human

660
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.000
Resources was not there to protect her and was only

661
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:51.239
used by Combs to punish people who had crossed him. Quote,

662
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:55.280
I was gonna die with this. I didn't want anyone

663
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:58.880
to know. Ever, She also said she didn't think reporting

664
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:02.840
the time she she said Sean Diddycombs sexually assaulted her

665
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:06.320
to the police was even an option. She testified that

666
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:10.119
she based this partly on some previous interactions she had

667
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:13.000
with police. She described one time when a cop in

668
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:16.559
La let her go even though she was speeding without

669
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:20.000
a license, because she got Combs on the phone to

670
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:23.519
talk to the officer. Mia testified about a separate time,

671
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:25.760
she and Combs were in a car that was pulled

672
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:30.079
over by police in La. Quote the cops approached pretty aggressively,

673
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:33.440
and once they saw Puff, they were like, oh my god,

674
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:38.239
she said, indicating the cops were excited to see Combs.

675
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:42.760
And the prosecutor pressed her again on not reporting those

676
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:46.559
sexual assaults, and Mia said, quote, I didn't know that

677
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:49.079
you had to tell the bad things that happened to

678
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.519
you if nobody else saw them. She added that it

679
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.360
was the most shameful thing of my life. She said

680
00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:01.039
part of the reason she's talking about it now is because, quote,

681
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:05.760
when you're scared into silence, these things continue to happen

682
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.800
to others. Mia said she absolutely did not want to

683
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:12.960
be talking about the sexual assaults, but she said she

684
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:17.079
felt she had a moral obligation to share those experiences.

685
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:21.880
She said, it's the most traumatizing, worst thing that has

686
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:25.960
ever happened to me. And with that, time ran out

687
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:31.559
in court was adjourned for the day, and we will

688
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:37.039
