Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' lawyers say ex-assistant's social media posts undercut her rape allegation
Assistant US Attorney Madison Smyser, center, asks Special Agent Gerard Gannon, far right, to stand and show the jury the high heeled platform red shoes found along with fire arms during a search of Combs' Star Island residence during Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial in Manhattan federal court, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, in New York. (Elizabeth Williams via AP) Warning: Some of the content below may be triggering NEW YORK — Sean 'Diddy' Combs ' lawyers confronted his rape-alleging former personal assistant on Friday with her social media posts praising the hip-hop mogul as a mentor, 'my brother' and 'friend for life' for years after she says he assaulted her. Defense attorney Brian Steel quizzed the woman about some of the dozens of posts she made about Combs in the wake of the alleged rape, portraying the warm messages as contradictory to her claims that working for him was often toxic and terrifying. The woman, testifying under the pseudonym 'Mia' for a second day at Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, read some of the messages aloud as they were displayed for jurors. Mia told the jury that the posts were a facade: 'Instagram was a place to show how great your life was, even if it was not true.' Defense team takes on assistant's rape allegation Steel highlighted a post from 2013 celebrating Combs' 44th birthday, showing a still image from a comedy video featuring Combs as a doctor helping Mia give birth to a fake baby. Below it, Mia wrote: 'Shout out to my mentor. Thank you for always letting me give birth to my dreams.' 'Here, you have posted on your personal account your rapist delivering the baby,' Steel said. Mia testified Thursday that, just months after Combs forcibly kissed her at his 40th birthday party in 2009, he woke her up then raped her in a bunk bed in his Los Angeles home. The ex-assistant said sexual assault continued sporadically enough that she thought it wouldn't happen again. She is the second of three women expected to testify at the federal trial in Manhattan that they were sexually abused by Combs. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that could put him in prison for life if he is convicted. U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday didn't rule out pardoning him, if asked. In other posts Steel presented, Mia praised Combs for 'continuing to inspire me every day.' She wrote 'love you' and joked about the rapper and entrepreneur buying her a vanilla latte at Starbucks after he was named to a top spot on a Forbes list of wealthy individuals. Steel also showed jurors a handwritten letter Mia gave Combs with the words 'Happy 45th Birthday Puff Daddy' in large, red letters, along with her gift to him: a scrapbook of magazine articles that chronicled the early years of his rise to fame. Throughout his cross-examination, the lawyer struck an incredulous refrain, asking: 'Why would you promote the person who has stolen your happiness in life?' Mia said it was only natural to post about the good times, and has previously testified that the 'highs were really high and the lows were really low.' She acknowledged Friday that she referred to co-workers as 'family' and used the word 'love' in correspondence with Combs - even after she alleges he sexually assaulted her. 'That's how we all talked to each other,' Mia said. Former assistant says she can't work because of Combs trauma Mia worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017, including a stretch as an executive at his film studio. However, she said she hasn't held a job since then because of post-traumatic stress. Mia said she would misinterpret emails asking 'where are you?' as scolding because of how Combs treated her. She said someone calling her name would cause her alarm, even if it was an innocent attempt to get her attention. She recalled throwing her phone across a room in terror when Combs' number popped up as an incoming call days after his former girlfriend, the singer Cassie, sued him in November 2023. 'It was just so triggering,' Mia said. After leaving Combs' employment, Mia said, she received a little more than US$200,000 of a $400,000 settlement to reimburse her for bonuses and overtime that weren't paid. The rest, she said, went to her lawyers, whom she never told about the alleged sexual assaults. One phone call from Combs left a witness 'terrified' Mia said one of Combs' former bodyguards also reached out to her in the days after Cassie filed her lawsuit. At first, she said, she was elated to hear from D-Roc, whose real name is Damion Butler, until she realized he was at Combs' house and trying to reconnect her with her former boss. Mia testified that she felt 'terrified, threatened, scared, nervous' that Combs was using an intermediary to reach her. She said she 'wanted to play dumb' and needed a gameplan to protect herself. 'I didn't want my life to be in danger,' Mia said. Combs settled with Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, within a day for $20 million. However, a federal agent testified earlier in the trial that Cassie's lawsuit prompted a criminal investigation that eventually led to Combs' indictment. Mia's testimony echoed concerns that prompted judges to deny Combs bail, keeping him jailed since his arrest last September. Prosecutors said Combs and his allies were contacting potential victims or witnesses to prevent them from cooperating or to get them to alter their recollection of events. At a bail hearing last September, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson said Combs contacted at least one victim in November 2023 and was in constant contact with witnesses, including as late as last July.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' ex-personal assistant says she was too traumatized to answer his 2023 call
Assistant U.S. Attorney Madison Smyser, centre, asks Special Agent Gerard Gannon, far right, to stand and show the jury the high heeled platform red shoes found along with fire arms during a search of Combs' Star Island residence during Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial in Manhattan federal court, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, in New York. (Elizabeth Williams via AP) Warning: Some of the content below may be triggering NEW YORK — Sean 'Diddy' Combs ' former personal assistant testified at his sex trafficking trial Friday that she threw her phone across the room in terror and ran outside when she saw the hip-hop mogul calling her days after his longtime ex-girlfriend sued him two years ago. 'It was just so triggering to see that,' said the assistant, who was identified in court only by the pseudonym 'Mia.' She was the second of three women expected to testify at the federal trial in Manhattan that they were sexually abused by Combs. Bail was repeatedly denied for Combs following his September arrest after prosecutors argued he and his coconspirators reached out to potential victims or witnesses after the former decade-long girlfriend, R&B singer Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, sued him in November 2023. The suit, which alleged years of sexual abuse, was settled within a day for US$20 million. At a September bail hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson said Combs had contacted at least one victim in November 2023 and was in constant contact with witnesses, including as late as last July. Mia said she at first was elated to hear from D-Roc, one of Combs' former bodyguards, when he reached out to her days after Cassie's lawsuit — until she realized he was at the Bad Boy Records founder's home and trying to reconnect her with her former boss. Then, she said, she felt 'terrified, threatened, scared, nervous.' Mia said she 'wanted to play dumb' and needed a game plan to protect herself. 'I didn't want my life to be in danger,' Mia said. Still, when she soon saw Combs himself trying to call her, 'I threw my phone as far as it would go behind the couch, and I ran outside.' Combs' lawyer Brian Steel launched into his cross-examination by quizzing the woman about several dozen posts she made about Combs, Cassie and other people and events in their orbit. Among them: a still image she posted on Combs' birthday in November 2013 from a comedy video featuring Combs as a doctor helping Mia give birth to a baby. 'Shout out to my mentor,' she wrote, referring to Combs, 'Thank you for always letting me give birth to my dreams.' 'Here, you have posted on your personal account your rapist delivering the baby,' Steel said. On Thursday, Mia testified that she was awakened and then raped by Combs as she slept in a bunk bed in his Los Angeles home just months after he'd forcibly kissed her at his 40th birthday party in 2009. She said sexual assault continued sporadically, seemingly infrequent enough that each time she'd think it would never happen again. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that could result in a prison term of from 15 years to life if he is convicted. Mia, who worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017, including a stretch as an executive at his film studio, said there were exciting times in the job and the 'highs were really high and the lows were really low.' After she left Bad Boy Entertainment, Mia said, she received $250,000 of a $400,000 settlement to reimburse her for promised bonuses that were never paid and for unpaid overtime. But she said she never told her lawyers about the sexual abuse. She acknowledged during her testimony that she referenced her co-workers as 'family' and used the word 'love' in her correspondence with Combs even after he sexually attacked her. 'That's how we all talked to each other,' Mia said. While working for Combs, she said, she dated his sound engineer, although it wasn't a typical relationship because they rarely saw one another outside work. She said she hasn't been able to work since leaving the job because of post-traumatic stress. Mia said she'd misinterpret emails asking 'where are you?' as scolding. She said someone calling her name from across the room would cause her alarm, even if it was an innocent attempt to get her attention. Throughout his cross-examination, Steel struck a familiar, incredulous refrain, asking: 'Why would you promote the person who has stolen your happiness in life?' Mia told Steel that the posts were a facade. 'Instagram was a place to show how great your life was, even if it was not true,' she explained, adding that followers of her then-public account included many Combs fans. 'Of course you post great times,' she said. Michael R. Sisak And Larry Neumeister, The Associated Press
