'Mia' testifies about threatening messages from Combs while on trip with Ventura
In October 2015, when "Mia" accompanied Cassie Ventura to South Africa where she was shooting a movie, she testified that she received WhatsApp messages from Sean Combs demanding to speak with Ventura on the phone.
"If you don't call me now f--- it all. And imma tell everything. And don't ever speak me again. You have 2 min. F--- her. Call my hs now or never speak to me again. F--- abc and all lawyers. Let's go to war," the message from Combs read.
"Mia" told the jury the message contained several threats.
"I thought he was going to tell Cass about the sexual assaults framed on me," she testified, explaining that she believed Combs would portray the alleged sexual assaults he committed as consensual encounters initiated by her.
"Mia" explained the next part of the message.
"I had finally created and developed and started writing a comedy TV show based on a funny version of a character like me in his world and we had sold it to ABC. And when I was in South Africa the press broke, and it was the most exciting thing. He's threatening to take that away," she testified.
"Did the show end up airing?" prosecutor Madison Smyser asked. "No," "Mia" testified.
In subsequent messages Combs insisted, "Call me now. Call me now. Call me now. Call me now. Call me now." "Mia" told the court she tried to assure him she and Ventura were not ignoring him but were busy on the movie set.
"I've come to the conclusion it's best that we no longer have any dealings. Pls don't call me. I won't call you," a message from Combs said.
The jury saw other messages in which "Mia" would sign off "love you" or "you know I love you" but she testified that was meant to placate Combs and was not expressing romantic interest.
