Former Diddy Personal Assistant Says Rap Mogul Sexually and Physically Assaulted Her: ‘It Was Toxic'
A former personal assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs, identified only by the pseudonym Mia, testified on Thursday that the rap mogul physically and sexually assaulted her and that his treatment of her depended on his mood, but that he was frequently 'toxic' and 'chaotic,' the Associated Press reported.
The court has allowed a number of witnesses in the case to testify under pseudonyms to ensure their privacy and safety.
'It was chaotic. It was toxic,' Mia, who-founded Revolt Films studio with Combs, said. 'It could be exciting. The highs were really high and the lows were really low.' Combs sold his stake in the company in March 2024.
She tearfully recalled being sexually and physically assaulted by Combs, including incidents where he threw her into a swimming pool, dumped a bucket of ice on her head and slammed her arm into a door. She also stated that he forced her to perform oral sex on him and would come into her bedroom expecting intercourse.
The rapper let her stay at his guest houses across the country, but told her she was not allowed to leave without his permission and could not even lock the doors.
Mia said she worked with Combs from 2009 to 2017 and, as previous witnesses have done, referred to him as 'Puff,' his stage name at the time. She also testified that she was not allowed to rest for as much as five days at a time and started relying on her ADHD medication, the stimulant Adderall, as a sleep substitute.
She described the atmosphere around Combs as tense because his mood could 'change in a split second' from 'happy to chaotic.'
She also described a 2013 incident where she jumped on his back to stop a brutal assault on his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and her stylist, Deonte Nash. Cassie's account of the abuse she endured from Combs has been corroborated from numerous witnesses, including Nash, who also testified to the alleged 2013 assault.
According to the AP, Mia did not appear to make eye contact with Combs throughout her testimony.
Combs has insisted that all of his sexual encounters were consensual, although he did admit to assaulting Cassie in an incident caught on a hotel camera. That headline-making attack, however, is not part of this case.

The teams were meeting for the first time since the Dodgers beat the Yankees to win their eighth world championship. Key moment Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott came on with runners at the corners in the eighth and retired pinch-hitter DJ LeMahieu on a flyout to center for the third out.

China's factory activity contracts in May, but there are signs of improvement
BEIJING (AP) — China's factory activity contracted in May, according to an official survey released on Saturday, although the decline slowed from April as the country reached a deal with the U.S. to slash President Donald Trump's sky-high tariffs. China's purchasing managers index rose from 49.0 in April to 49.5 in May, the National Bureau of Statistics said. PMI is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, where 50 marks the cutoff between expansion and contraction. Meanwhile, the manufacturing index showed growth in the sector, although the index measuring new orders remained under 50 despite some improvement. National Bureau of Statistics senior statistician Zhao Qinghe said some companies with U.S. business reported accelerated resumption of foreign trade orders, and there was an improvement in import and export conditions. The U.S.-China deal, reached earlier this month, cuts Trump's tariffs from 145% to 30% for 90 days, creating time for negotiators from both sides to reach a more substantive agreement. China also reduced its taxes on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%. But the remaining tariffs are still higher than they were before Trump took office, and businesses and investors face uncertainty about whether the truce will last. Trump said Friday that he will no longer be 'Mr. NICE GUY' with China on trade, declaring in a social media post that the country had broken an unspecified agreement with the United States. He later said in the Oval Office that he will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping and 'hopefully we'll work that out,' while still insisting China had violated the agreement. Over the past week, tensions between Beijing and Washington also intensified after the U.S. said it would start revoking visas for Chinese students studying in the country. China has lodged a protest with the U.S. over the matter, calling the decision unreasonable.
