'Mia's' continued cross-examination to kick off fourth week of testimony
The fourth week of testimony in the racketeering and sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs begins today with the defense continuing their cross-examination of the former Combs assistant known as “Mia.”
“Mia,” who is testifying under a pseudonym, told the jury last week that Combs repeatedly sexually assaulted her. She testified that the alleged assaults “ruined” her and left her “traumatized” with “complex, severe PTSD.”
Combs has denied sexually assaulting anyone.
On cross-examination, the defense confronted "Mia" with dozens of flattering social media posts she made in which she called Combs her “mentor,” a “legend,” and “the coolest alien rock star unicorn pizza slice.”
Defense attorney Brian Steel asked "Mia," “One of the legends is the person you're telling this jury has traumatized you?” Combs nodded in approval at the question.
"Yes," "Mia" testified in response.
After showing the court dozens of "Mia’s" Instagram posts the defense prepared to show nearly three dozen more.
“See what you can do to streamline things,” Judge Arun Subramanian said.
