For years after her employment at Sean Combs' company Bad Boy ended in 2018, his former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym "Mia," sent text messages to Combs that expressed love and admiration.

“Everything is positive and loving from you to Mr. Combs. Would you agree with that?” defense attorney Brian Steel asked after showing the jury pages of texts.

“Yes, of course,” "Mia" testified.

"Mia" continued to message Combs through the end of 2022, the defense showed the court.

“Hey. Saw our doc on Netflix top 10. Congrats I miss you,” one text from July 2022 read.

Combs responded, “Love, love, love, love.” "Mia" wrote back, “And I love, love, love you.”

Just after Christmas 2022, Mia texted Combs, “Happy Holidays. I hope it’s filled with love and happiness. Tell your fam and crew I love them.”

Steel asked, “Years later, you’re still communicating with Mr. Combs, true?”

“True," "Mia" told the court in response.

Steel followed up, “You hold your position, 'Mia,' that you were scared to see Mr. Combs?”

“True,” "Mia" testified. “I was scared of him when he was scary.”

Steel played a short video of "Mia" wishing Combs a happy 44th birthday in 2013. She is seen applying lip gloss and then saying, appearing bubbly and upbeat, “Puff Daddy, the living legend himself!”

"Mia's" video message continued: “Thank you for being one of the biggest inspirations in my life.”

The defense showed the court a message from Jan. 15, 2019, in which "Mia," a former Sean Combs assistant who is testifying under a pseudonym, texted Combs to tell him about her having a “nightmare” about being trapped in an elevator with R&B singer R. Kelly and how, she dreamt, Combs came to her rescue.

“The person who sexually assaulted you, came to your rescue, correct?” defense attorney Brian Steel asked, referring to "Mia's" previous testimony about Combs allegedly sexually assaulting her.

“Yes,” "Mia" testified in response.

“You had to tell him that, that he’s your actual savior?” Steel asked.

“Yes,” "Mia" told the court.

The following March, "Mia" texted Combs the message “Sending all the love in the world” with a heart emoji, the defense showed the court.

“You’re not under the grip of Mr. Combs at that time,” Steel asserted.

"Mia" disagreed, telling the court, “No, I still was psychologically.” She also testified that the timing of the message in question coincided with the recent passing of Kim Porter, the late mother of four of Combs' children.

"Mia" also testified that part of her job was to carry around a small camera to record Combs.

“Do you have any recording of Mr. Combs berating you?” Steel asked.

“No, I would not have been allowed to record that,” Mia testified.

“Because it’s not true, is it 'Mia?'” Steel asked. “Your statements that you were the victim at the hands of Mr. Combs of brutality isn’t true?”

Mia responded to the court, “Everything I’ve said in this courtroom is true.”

In August, 2020, more than three years after her separation from Bad Boy Records and Combs' employment, "Mia" texted to Combs, “Life is f------ insane and supposedly it all happens for a reason in order to elevate us in our human experience, but it’s rough.” Her message concluded, “I love you with all of my heart and I’m here for you forever.”

When questioned by the defense about the message, "Mia" told the jury that she had been “brainwashed” by Combs.

“Brainwashed meant I was in an environment where the highs were really high and the lows were really low and it created a huge confusion in trusting my instincts," "Mia" testified. "I was punished whenever Puff would be violent and I would react, confusing me and making me think I did something wrong. Nobody around batted an eye. He was still praised by everyone around him and the public."

"Mia's" testimony continued: "Again, I felt like I had done something, betrayed him in some way. I felt horrible about it, like I had done something wrong. I was always constantly seeking his approval. He was my authority figure. My only authority figure."

“When did the moral obligation come to your mind that you need to say this information that you are putting forth that Mr. Combs violated you in a sexual manner and other ways?” Steel asked.

“When I started witnessing him being held accountable for his actions,” "Mia" told the court. “It began when it all came out in the media and he was being held responsible.”

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.

The cross-examination of Sean "Diddy" Combs' former assistant "Mia" is expected to resume today.
