The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs entered a pivotal phase yesterday and today as a former longtime employee, identified in court only as “Mia,” took the stand and delivered emotional testimony. Mia, who worked closely within Diddy’s inner circle for several years, described in harrowing detail what she alleges were repeated instances of mistreatment, manipulation, and coercion during her time under his employment.
Her testimony marked one of the most intense moments in the trial so far—bringing many in the courtroom to tears and leaving jurors visibly shaken. According to courtroom observers, Mia appeared composed but emotional, recounting deeply personal and traumatic events that she says occurred while working in Diddy’s orbit.
Legal analysts are calling her statements a potential turning point in the case, as prosecutors work to establish a pattern of abusive behavior tied to the music mogul. While the full impact of her testimony will be determined in the weeks ahead, it has already sparked widespread discussion both in legal circles and among the public.
What follows is the testimony, shared in a manner intended to inform while respecting the gravity of the subject.

Mia: He threw her to the ground. Me and Deonte jumped in and tried to stop it. AUSA: What did you do? Mia: Deonte is very small in comparison to Puff. There was a little tornado going on. He had Deonte in a position where I was scared he was going to kill him
Mia: So I jumped on Puff but he threw me off and against the wall. I felt like I ws in slow motion. I realized we were in big danger. He ran into the bedroom and grabbed Cass. Under her bed is this wood bed platform. He slammed her head into the corner

AUSA: Do you remember seeing Cassie? Mia: At the London Hotel in New York. I brought something to the room. Cass opened the door. She was wearing a bright blue wig AUSA: How did she appear? Mia: Like she was struggling. I asked, Are you good? She closed the door
AUSA: How told you to clean the rooms? Mia: Puff. And the office. It was standard, to sweep the room so no housekeeper can sell something to TMZ. AUSA: How were the rooms? Mia: Destroyed. Candle wax everywhere. I’ve seen broken glass. Sometimes blood. Oil on walls

Mia: He had the drugs on plates. I tried to say No AUSA: What happened? Mia: Puff wouldn’t get it go. It turned a litter more serious, that I was going to mess up the whole vibe. I tried to fake take it. He got close to my face and humiliated me. AUSA: How?
Mia: He separated out a dose and made me snort it. I didn’t want to fall into the K-hole. I’d seen a person, it looked like an exorcism. AUSA: Did you want to take the ketamine? Mia: I didn’t feel I had a choice.
AUSA: Did he take drugs while working? Mia: He was always working. Once on the way to Chelsea Handler. AUSA: How did Mr. Combs treat you? Mia: Sometimes like best friend and working partner. Sometimes like I was a worthless piece of crap
AUSA: How would he compliment you? Mia: My work. He’d give me life advice. AUSA: And to tell you you were worthless? Mia: Long extended rants about how incompetent and stupid I was, threaten my job. AUSA: Anything physical? Mia: Throw things at me
AUSA: Did he talk about jobs for you? Mia: Yes. Before Revolt Films, he talked about other companies. I told him I wanted to create and develop TV shows, especially comedy. He said that’s what he wanted to do too. Then he’d take away my credits.
AUSA: What did he throw at you? Mia: A bowl of spaghetti. Turkey meat. A computer. A phone. AUSA: Let’s talk about the spaghetti. What did he tell you to do? Mia: To go get people. But I needed to change my tampon. He yelled, Yo girl, I said do it now
Mia: Blood was dripping down my leg. I said, I have to go change my tampon. AUSA: What did Mr. Combs do? Mia: He threw his bowl of spaghetti at me, then said, Get the f*ck out of my house. He chased me out. I was barefoot. I hid in a bush, then to a hotel
AUSA: What did HR tell you? Mia: That I was going to be suspended without pay, that’s what Puff wanted. AUSA: Where were you when he threw a computer at you? Mia: In a trailer. Swizz Beatz was there. The wi-fi was broken and I went to look into it.
Mia: I came back and said they were working on it. AUSA: What did Mr. Combs do? Mia: I said I should talk to Bill Gates if I had to. Then he threw his computer at my head. Hard. It just missed me. I ran and hid behind the luggage van.
AUSA: How did you feel? Mia: I wondered, what did I do to make him like this to me AUSA: Did he hurt you? Mia: Turks & Caicos, and at the Revolt offices. AUSA: Where were you at Turks? Mia: A hammock by my room. Puff dumped a bucket of ice on me, screaming
Mia: Then Puff took my phone. I didn’t want him to see it. The team, we’d message about his moods. I didn’t want him to see it. So I jumped on his back. AUSA: What did he do? Mia: He threw me back into the pool.
AUSA: And at Revolt TV? Mia: He was using my phone and I didn’t want him to see my message, maybe I called him an as*hole, I tried to get the phone back -he ran into the bathroom then slammed the door on my arm. Repeatedly. AUSA: Injuries? Mia: Bruises.
AUSA: Did you see him later? Mia: At the studio. He told me he sent all my compromising photos to him phone, in case I had stuff on him. Kind of like a bullying joke. AUSA: How did you take it? Mia: I had no photos, so I knew he was lying.
AUSA: What are these? Mia: My emails with Toni and Shannon, I said Puff took my iPhone, I don’t know when I’ll get it back. Toni asked, What happened? I said, Definitely an in-person story. AUSA: Why? Mia: I wouldn’t put violence in writing.
AUSA: Who was Matt? Mia: Puff’s engineer. At one point we dated. AUSA: I have more…
Judge: Break
Mia: My eyes couldn’t focus. His face was close. He put his arm up the side of my dress. And he kissed me. AUSA: Did you want him to? Mia: No. AUSA: Were you able to say No? Mia: I was shocked. I froze. I didn’t process what was happening.
Mia: Next thing I knew it was morning and I was in a chair in the penthouse. AUSA: How had you looked at him? Mia: Like an older adult. He was the boss or the king AUSA: What were your expectations? Mia: I thought it would never happen again, a huge accident
AUSA: Were there other times he made you feel uncomfortable sexually? Mia: Yes. I had to carry bags to his room. Downstairs was Uncle Paulie. AUSA: What did he say to you? Combs’ Steel: Objection. Judge: Grounds. Steel: Hearsay. AUSA: For the effect Overruled
Mia: I brought the bags, he asked me to pull up something on his computer. He came and sat next to me, leaned over me as if to put his face in the computer, like in an uncomfortable way AUSA: How did you feel? Mia: I pretended I had to go to the bathroom
AUSA: Where were you the next time Mr. Combs sexually assaulted you? Mia: The Beverly Grove house. I was asleep on the bottom bunk. I wasn’t allowed to lock the door. I woke up – there was the weight of a person on me. AUSA: Who? Mia: Puff
Mia: It was so fast. He used one hand to get his pants undone. He put, uh, himself inside of me AUSA: You mean his pen*s inside of you? Mia: I just froze. AUSA: How did you feel? Mia: Terrified and confused and ashamed and scared AUSA: How long Mia: Very quick
Mia: But it felt like forever. But he wouldn’t leave a job unfinished. AUSA: Is that when it would end? Mia: Yes. AUSA: The next time? Mia: The Beverly Crest house. I was on his bedroom closet floor putting things in a bag. Then Puff was in the closet
Mia: He had his… Uh… Pen*s out and he grabbed my head and (cries) and put it in AUSA: Mr. Combs took his pen*s out and put it in your mouth? Mia: Yes. I was frozen. I didn’t do anything. I just (sobs) AUSA: How did you feel? Mia: Like trash. Scared and ashamed
AUSA: How long did it last? Mia: It was very fast. AUSA: Were there other sexual assaults? Mia: Yes. I have a dark feeling… One time we were flying on a private jet, everyone was asleep, by the bathroom there was a bed. I went by and he was standing right there
Mia: I tried to make it about other people who might see or hear. It didn’t work. AUSA: How did you feel? Mia: Helpless. I had lost some layer of protection. I wasn’t safe. Terrified. AUSA: Do you remember what happened? Mia: No.
AUSA: Was Cassie ever there? Mia: No. AUSA: Did you ever want these sexual acts with Mr. Combs? Mia: No. AUSA: Did you ever tell him no? Mia: I couldn’t tell him no about a sandwich, or anything. Then he would know that I thought what he was doing was wrong
Mia: I didn’t want to lose everything I’d worked so hard for. This was the only world I had any more. AUSA: What would happen to your job? Mia: I would never work in that industry again. AUSA: And physically? Mia: That’d I’d be attacked… I don’t want to die
Mia: He’d threatened that he would tell Cass that I had something to do with it AUSA: How did you feel? Mia: Desparate and trapped, worst scary situation. I would have done anything. It was my fault AUSA: Did you tell anymore? Mia: No. I was going to die with this

AUSA: Did you have to testify? Mia: No. AUSA: Why didn’t you go to the police about Mr. Combs sexually harassing you? Mia: I didn’t even consider it. AUSA: Did you have experience with police? Mia: Yes I was speeding, I hadn’t had time to get my license renewed
