Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former assistant 'Mia' concluded her testimony, stating she delayed reporting the sexual assault claim because she "was scared and brainwashed." Combs' lawyer Brian Steel questioned Mia extensively, highlighting affectionate messages she sent to Combs, and accused her of joining '#MeToo greed.' Mia said she was under psychological control and feared retaliation if she did not act supportively. Steel questioned why Mia, who often filmed Combs, did not document the abuse. She testified she only filmed what Combs allowed, fearing for her job and safety. Mia testified Combs sexually abused her multiple times between 2009 and 2017, alternately praising and mistreating her. She described feeling trapped and constantly seeking his approval. Despite previous social media posts praising Combs, Mia said her actions were driven by fear and trauma, admitting she testified to protect future victims. Mia is 'Victim 4' in the federal indictment accusing Combs of running a criminal enterprise involving sexual abuse, violence, and coercion. He pleaded 'not guilty.' Jurors also briefly heard from a hotel employee named Sylvia Oken, who confirmed Combs often used alias names when booking rooms, including one linked to a former assistant who later sued him. Oken testified Combs' hotel bills included additional charges for cleaning and damages, such as $500 for 'oil damage' and $300 for curtain cleaning. She said Combs sometimes booked under the pseudonym 'Frank Black,' a nod to Notorious B.I.G. Hotel records also showed Cassie Ventura listed as a guest with full room access and charges.
