Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-aide says she was 'brainwashed' when she sent loving texts years after rape
NEW YORK (AP) — A former personal assistant who accuses Sean 'Diddy' Combs of rape testified Monday that she continued sending the hip-hop mogul loving messages for years after her job ended in 2017 because she was 'brainwashed.' The woman, testifying under the pseudonym 'Mia," pushed back at defense lawyer Brian Steel's suggestions that she fabricated her claims to cash in on 'the #MeToo money grab against Sean Combs.' Mia was on the witness stand for her third and final day at Comb's federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in Manhattan, which is in its fourth week of testimony. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers concede he could be violent, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit abuse. Steel had Mia read aloud numerous text messages she sent Combs. In one from 2019, she told Combs that he'd rescued her in a nightmare in which she was trapped in an elevator with R. Kelly, the singer who has since been convicted of sex trafficking. 'And the person who sexually assaulted you came to your rescue?' Steel asked incredulously. He rephrased, asking if she really dreamed of being saved by a man 'who terrorized you and caused you PTSD?' Prosecutors objected and the judge sustained it. It was one of many objections during a combative and often meandering cross-examination that stood in contrast to the defense's gentler treatment of other prosecution witnesses. Several times, the judge interrupted Steel, instructing him to move along or rephrase complicated questions. In an Aug. 29, 2020, message to Combs, Mia recalled happy highlights from her eight years working for him — such as drinking champagne at the Eiffel Tower at 4 a.m. and rejecting Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger's offer to take her home — saying she remembered only 'the good times.' In the same message, Mia mentioned once feeling 'bamboozled' by a woman. Steel asked why she didn't say Combs had bamboozled her as well. 'Because I was still brainwashed,' Mia answered. Asked to explain, Mia said that in an environment where 'the highs were really high and the lows were really low," she developed 'huge confusion in trusting my instincts.' When Steel suggested her assault claims were made up, Mia responded: 'I have never lied in this courtroom and I never will lie in this courtroom. Everything I said is true.' She said she felt a moral obligation to speak out after others came forward against Combs, telling jurors: 'It's been a long process. I'm untangling things. I'm in therapy." Mia alleges Combs forcibly kissed her and molested her at his 40th birthday party, and raped her months later in a guest room at his Los Angeles home. She testified last week that the assaults were 'random, sporadic, so oddly spaced out' she didn't think they'd happen again. For a long time, Mia said, she kept the assaults to herself — staying quiet even after her friend, Combs' former longtime girlfriend Cassie, sued Combs in November 2023 alleging sexual abuse. The lawsuit, settled within hours for $20 million, touched off Combs' criminal investigation. Mia followed Cassie as the second of three key prosecution witnesses. The third, using the pseudonym 'Jane,' will testify later this week. Mia said she didn't feel comfortable telling Cassie, the R&B singer whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, that she was also victimized. She said she didn't tell prosecutors when she first met with them in January 2024, waiting about six months to do so. 'Just because you find out something doesn't mean you immediately snap out of it. I was still deeply ashamed and I wanted to die with this,' Mia testified. Steel suggested Mia only told prosecutors after she obtained legal counsel, accusing the witness of trying to lay the groundwork for a lawsuit against Combs. But Judge Arun Subramanian shut down Steel's attempts to ask Mia if she chose her attorney because of that lawyer's success getting hefty judgments for writer E. Jean Carroll in sex abuse-related lawsuits against President Donald Trump. Prosecutors warned that Steel's treatment of Mia in the closely watched Combs case could deter victims from testifying in other, unrelated cases. Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey accused Steel of yelling at and humiliating Mia, and argued that picking apart her social media posts was excessive and irrelevant. 'We are crossing the threshold into prejudice and harassing this witness,' Comey told Subramanian after jurors left the courtroom for a break. Subramanian said he hadn't heard any yelling or sarcasm in Steel's questions but cautioned the lawyer not to overdo it with questions about Mia's social media posts.

Rod Stewart Confirms Faces Reunion With Ronnie Wood For Glastonbury 2025 Slot
As anticipation builds for surprise appearances at Glastonbury 2025, Sir Rod Stewart has confirmed that Ronnie Wood will join him for a Faces reunion during his Legends set. In a new interview on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Stewart explained that he was still in regular contact with the Rolling Stones guitarist. The pair were previously bandmates in the late '60s/early '70s blues rock band, alongside drummer Kenney Jones. 'Woody, I do [speak to] a lot,' the 79-year-old said. 'Just recently, 'cause we're gonna do Glastonbury together.' You can listen to the podcast in full here. More from Billboard The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now Miley Cyrus' New Album 'Something Beautiful' This Way Comes: Stream It Now Faces hinted at a comeback last month, with Jones revealing in an interview with The Telegraph that the band had recorded 'about 11 tracks' at RAK Studios in London for a new album – which would be their first full-length effort in over 50 years.'I can't see it coming out this year. But I can see it coming out next year,' he continued. 'Everyone's doing different things. We do little snippets [of recording] here and there. Then all of a sudden, The Stones are out [on tour] again, Rod's out again…' First formed in 1969 through a merger between members of Small Faces and the Jeff Beck Group, Faces existed for six years before guitarist Wood left to join the Rolling Stones, and Stewart continued his burgeoning solo career. The group have released four albums, with 1971's A Nod Is As Good As a Wink… to a Blind Horse hitting No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Glastonbury will take place at Worthy Farm, Somerset next month (June 25-29) with headliners The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo. Stewart last performed at the festival in 2002, topping the bill alongside Coldplay and Stereophonics that year. The 'Maggie May' singer will take to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon for the Legends slot – one of the most coveted in the festival's history. Previous bookings have included Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Lionel Richie, Kylie Minogue and Diana Ross, with Shania Twain performing in the Legends slot in 2024. Shortly after he was announced for this year's event, Stewart said he was 'proud, ready and more than able to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury.' He was the first name to be confirmed for Glastonbury 2025, which sold out in under an hour last autumn following the introduction of a new online queuing system. 2025's edition will mark the final event to take place at Worthy Farm before the traditional fallow year in 2026, which sees the landowner Michael Eavis and his family allow the grounds to recover every four years. The festival will return again in 2027.

‘Mountainhead' is a lock for an Emmy nod. Its actors, not so much
'Mountainhead,' a satirical skewering of tech oligarchs from 'Succession' showrunner Jesse Armstrong, arrived this weekend, dropping on the final day of this year's Emmy eligibility window. I'm Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times and host of The Envelope newsletter. While we're pondering the timeline to upload a human consciousness, let's consider 'Mountainhead' and its Emmy chances. Early on in 'Mountainhead,' tech bro and Elon Musk stand-in Venis Parish (Cory Michael Smith) uses film history to put the glitches of his company's latest AI rollout into perspective. 'The first time people saw a movie, everybody ran screaming because they thought they were gonna get hit by a train,' Venis relates, shouting out the Lumiere brothers' 1895 film, 'Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station.' 'The answer to that was not stop the movies. The answer was: Show more movies. We're gonna show users as much s— as possible, until everyone realizes nothing's that f— serious. Nothing means anything, and everything's funny and cool.' In the meantime, though, Venis' social media platform has given users the tools to create deepfakes so realistic they can't be identified as bogus. Immediately, people all over the world are uploading videos of their enemies committing atrocities, inflaming centuries-old animosities. Reality has collapsed and, with it, global stability. But for 'Mountainhead's' quartet of tech magnates, played by Smith, Steve Carell, Ramy Youssef and Jason Schwartzman, everything is just fine. As venture capitalist Randall Garrett (Carell) notes, 'We have plenty of calories stockpiled. Western countries have strategic commodity reserves, canola oil, lard, frozen orange juice.' Later, Randall asks: 'Are we the Bolsheviks of a new techno world order that starts tonight?' 'Mountainhead' is in many ways scarier than the zombie apocalypse of 'The Last of Us' because it feels like its premise is lurking right around the corner. Armstrong came up with the idea for the two-hour movie in November, after immersing himself in podcasts and books about Silicon Valley. He shot it in March, edited it in April and delivered it in May. It captures the DOGE era, specifically in the casual cruelty expressed by its entitled characters. 'Do you believe in other people?' Venis asks Randall. 'Eight billion people as real as us?' Randall's reply: 'Well, obviously not.' 'Mountainhead' aspires more directly to comedy, but because we don't have a history with these four deplorable men, it's often difficult to find the humor. 'Like 'Fountainhead' Mountainhead?' Youssef jokes to Schwartzman about the estate's title. 'Was your interior decorator Ayn Bland?' There's a procession of put-downs like that. When they're not roasting each other, they're trying to boost their own agendas — in the case of the cancer-stricken Randall, it's the quest to live forever as a disembodied consciousness. For all its Shakespearean drama, 'Succession' was wildly entertaining, more of a comedy than, yes, 'The Bear.' Kendall Roy performing the rap 'L to the OG' at a party honoring his father's half-century running Waystar Royco will be the funniest two minutes of television probably forever. But half the fun came from the characters' reactions to this transcendent moment of cringe. We were deeply invested in this world. For all their money and power, the 'Mountainhead' moguls are, like the Roy children in 'Succession,' not serious people. But beyond that, 'Mountainhead' doesn't have much of anything novel to say about its subjects. As good as Smith is at channeling Musk's alien, empathy-deficient otherness, you can come away with the same level of insight — and entertainment — by spending a few minutes watching Mike Myers on 'Saturday Night Live.' I don't need to watch a movie to know that a guy sitting on a gold toilet isn't prioritizing anyone's interests but his own. 'Mountainhead,' as mentioned, arrives on the last day of 2024-25 Emmy eligibility, less by design than from necessity. The paint's still wet on this film. But this does mark the third straight season that HBO has dropped a TV movie right before the deadline. Last year, it was 'The Great Lillian Hall,' starring Jessica Lange as fading Broadway legend. Two years ago, it was the excellent whistleblower thriller 'Reality,' featuring a star turn from Sydney Sweeney. Both movies were blanked at the Emmys, though Kathy Bates did manage a Screen Actors Guild Awards nod for 'Lillian Hall.' Did the movies land too late for enough people see them? Perhaps. The late arrival time should mean they'd be fresh in voters' minds when they fill out their ballots. But you have to be aware of them for that to happen. Awareness shouldn't be an issue with 'Mountainhead.' Enough people will want to watch the new offering from the creator of 'Succession,' and there's not much else on television vying for attention right now. 'Mountainhead' should score a nomination for television movie, even with the category being stronger than usual this year with audience favorites 'Rebel Ridge,' the latest 'Bridget Jones' movie and Scott Derrickson's enjoyable, genre-bending 'The Gorge' competing. But actors in these TV movies are at competitive disadvantage as the Emmys lump them together with their counterparts in limited series, performers who are onscreen for a much longer time. This decade, only two TV movie actors have been nominated — Hugh Jackman ('Bad Education') and Daniel Radcliffe ('Weird: The Al Yankovic Story'). The lead actress category, meanwhile, has been completely dominated by limited series. Not that there are any women starring in 'Mountainhead' because ... tech bros. As for the men, Carell, Schwartzman, Smith and Youssef are very good at conveying delusional arrogance. I despised each and every one of their characters. If hate-voting were a thing, they'd all be nominated.
