Diddy ‘victim went deaf after using drugs to stay up for 5 days to meet demands' as she reveals list of insane job tasks

WEEK three of Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial is continuing with explosive testimony of the music exec's bursts of violence, including a moment where he threw an ice bucket at an assistant's head.
The latest witness testimonies comes after jurors heard about Combs ' alleged bombing of Kid Cudi's car and his threats to "kill" the rival rapper for dating his ex-girlfriend, Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura.

Thursday, a female victim, identified in court only by the pseudonym "Mia," became the latest former assistant of Combs to take the stand against the disgraced music mogul.
Mia told jurors that when she met Combs at his apartment for a job interview, the Bad Boy Records founder greeted her in his underwear.
The former personal assistant said Combs eventually put on clothes before going into detail about the toxic work environment and Combs' extreme demands.
Mia was initially hired as Combs' personal assistant before she was promoted to director of development and acquisitions at Revolt films.
She told the court Combs would be violent towards her, saying he would "thrown things at her. throw her against the wall, into a pool," and even "threw an ice bucket at her head."
Mia further alleged that Combs sexually assaulted her "more than once."
EXTREME DEMANDS
Like many of the previous victims who took the stand during Combs' trial, Mia also testified about working long hours with low pay.
Mia said began with a $50,000 salary, and recalled her first 24-hour workday.
The victim recalled feeling as if the ordeal was some sort of "challenge" that might be part of her two-week probation period.
However, she testified that working long hours on little to no sleep became a norm while at Combs' company.
Mia said the longest she went without sleep while working for Combs was five days.
The former assistant said she took Adderall to stay awake, but her body eventually broke down in exhaustion.
"My hearing went and my equilibrium was off," Mia told jurors.
"Blurred vision. Lights that weren't there," she added before describing how she broke down in tears.
Mia said Combs finally allowed her to leave to get some sleep only after she cried uncontrollably.
Before Mia took the stand, celebrity stylist Deonte Nash testified how he set up Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura with actor Michael B. Jordan in 2015 when the singer was at a movie set in South Africa.
Defense attorney Xavier Donaldson then told Nash if he was aware Ventura was in a relationship with NFL linebacker Andre Branch at the time, which the celebrity stylist confirmed.
"Oh, the cute football player? Yes, but I never met him," Nash, a close friend of Ventura's, said.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges as prosecutors continue to paint him as the ringleader of a criminal enterprise.
He has denied all allegations against him and insists he's only engaged in consensual sex.
The federal trial is expected to last eight weeks.
