Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym “Mia,” testified to the control the rapper allegedly had over her.

“I couldn’t tell him no…I couldn’t tell him no about anything,” she said during her testimony. Mia explained she didn’t want to be a target. She told the jury she was afraid of being fired and worried about Diddy ruining her future. Mia claimed she was afraid the music mogul would twist the story to make her look like a threat.

“I knew his power…control over me,” she told prosecutors. “I didn’t want to lose anything I worked so hard for.”

Mia said she was concerned her job would be over and she would never work in the industry again. She also claimed she was worried about being attacked.

Mia looked down throughout much of this testimony in Diddy's trial, sometimes mumbling her answers.

Mia, Sean "Diddy" Combs former assistant, told the court she was given a "warning" before an incident with the "Missing You" rapper.

The ex-employee testified Thursday that she was still relatively new when she was tasked with going to Diddy's apartment. Upon arriving, his security guard Uncle Paulie allegedly gave her a "warning" as if "I've seen this before." She said alarms went off in her head.

She went upstairs with Diddy's bags, where he then allegedly asked her to pull something up on the computer for him. While she proceeded, Diddy allegedly sat down next to her, leaned over and put his face in the computer in an uncomfortable way.

Mia said he had never been that close, which made her feel "alarm bells." She claimed she felt "uncomfortable," but "didn't know how to behave."

She testified to faking needing to use the bathroom, and Diddy then let her leave for the evening. Mia said she convinced herself he wasn't trying to do anything, and that Uncle Paulie's warning was a silly joke.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' former aide, Mia, claimed the "Victory" rapper sexually assaulted her sporadically throughout her employment.

Mia became emotional recalling the first time Diddy allegedly sexually assaulted her. She claimed they were at the Plaza Hotel during his 40th birthday, and Diddy had rented a penthouse suite. The main party was downstairs.

The former assistant claimed she went to the penthouse because she had to stay within eyesight. Diddy allegedly asked to speak to her in the kitchen, where he told her what a good job she was doing but that she didn't need to be scared to go to him because they would be working closer together.

He then allegedly gave her two shots of alcohol, which she claimed "hit me kind of hard." Diddy went to kiss Mia and had his hand up her dress, she testified. Mia said she did not want Diddy to kiss her or put his hand up her dress, but she couldn't say no.

"I was shocked ... I froze," she said. Mia said that not only was Diddy her boss , but he was also a very powerful person. She claimed she didn't remember "coming to" and getting from the kitchen to the penthouse.

She testified that she didn't think it would happen again, and that Diddy was likely drunk and wouldn't remember it because "it was a huge accident."

Sean "Diddy" Combs was allegedly physically violent with his former assistant.

Testifying anonymously under the name "Mia," his ex-employee said Diddy hurt her while she was at the Revolt TV office in Los Angeles, Calif.

Mia said she was enlisted to help develop the network, and was there for a "come to Jesus meeting." Diddy allegedly ordered Mia to get someone on the phone using her own device.

Diddy then allegedly ran away with her phone to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, she claimed her arm got partially in through the door, but Diddy slammed it on her arm. At first she believed it to be an accident, but claimed he did it multiple times.

Mia said she thought at first her arm was broken, but she only had bruises. Then, Diddy allegedly "bolted right passed me," down the fire stairs to the road.

Later that day, she saw the "Last Night" rapper at the studio, and he allegedly told her he sent all of her compromising photos to his phone so that he would have something on her. She said she was relieved because Diddy did not see a message with Derek the stylist talking about him, and she also didn't have compromising images on her phone.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' allegedly became violent with his former assistant while on set in Los Angeles, Calif.

The ex-employee, who testified anonymously under the moniker "Mia," told the court Thursday that Diddy once threw a computer at her.

In 2011 or 2012, Mia claimed the Wi-Fi wasn't working in his trailer, so she went to figure it out and report back to her boss.

Upon returning to Diddy, he allegedly told her she shouldn't have come back unless the problem was fixed, and then threw a computer "very close" to her head.

Mia thought, "Wow he meant to hit me." She testified to running out of the trailer and then hiding near a luggage van.

She became emotional when she told the court she was not only terrified and humiliated, but also confused. She thought something was wrong with her to make him so upset.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' former assistant, Mia, testified Thursday to once attending the Burning Man musical festival with the rapper.

While on a decked out tour bus, which allegedly included black out shades and a disco ball, Mia claimed Diddy pulled out three plates of white powder - MDMA, cocaine and ketamine.

She said that people were taking turns guessing which drugs were which. When it was her turn, Mia attempted to say "no," but "Puff wouldn't let it go."

Mia claimed his tone changed, like she was going to "mess up the whole vibe." She attempted to fake snort the drugs, but Diddy got close to her face and then got upset she tried faking it. Mia said he humiliated her, and then separated a dose for her to snort.

The former assistant testified she then snorted the drugs, but blew them out of her nose when she got away from Diddy.

Mia claimed she had seen a friend go through what looked like "an exorcism" and it didn't look like you were in control of yourself. She said she didn't want to take the ketamine, but didn't feel as though she had a choice.

Mia, who previously worked as Sean "Diddy" Combs' assistant, testified in federal court Thursday that the disgraced music mogul would spend "thousands of dollars" on a "freak off."

She claimed Diddy and his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, would go to hotels for "hotel nights," which would sometimes be multiple nights. She said she would bring baby oil, Astroglide, condoms, and a mix of cheap and expensive candles.

Everything had to be white, Mia testified. Diddy would allegedly call if needed for unexpected items to be brought to hotels. She claimed he would ask for food, things forgotten from the house and money from security.

On one hotel night at the London hotel in New York, Diddy allegedly asked Mia to bring something to the hotel. Upon reaching the door, Mia said Cassie peaked her head out, "as if she was struggling."

Mia said it was "different than I had seen her before so much that I asked 'are you good.'" Cassie allegedly said she was good and closed the door.

Another one of Mia's alleged tasks was to sweep wherever Diddy was, including the hotel rooms so that there was nothing a housekeeper could take to TMZ and expose his personal, private business.

She described the rooms looking like "a nightmare" with candlewax everywhere, wet towels, water all over the floor, blood and oil.

Sean "Diddy" Combs ex-assistant remembered when the Bad Boy Records founder discovered Cassie Ventura's relationship with Kid Cudi.

The former assistant, who testified under the pseudonym "Mia," said that "instead of being mad, Puff was upset" about Cassie and Cudi.

Diddy allegedly appeared "heartbroken," instead of what she said was his usual "angry and aggressive" response. This time, she said, it was "ominous."

Mia testified that of all the times before, she had never seen Cassie do something to cause Diddy to be upset.

"I felt like I was bracing myself for something about to happen," Mia said on the stand.

She allegedly sent an email to D-Roc in December 2011 with a request to talk to him, and claimed, "I'm just super worried about P ... something felt wrong this morning, this awful energy." Mia said this time was different because Diddy was "acting different and was hurt."

D-Roc allegedly responded back, "Yeah, it's crazy right now. We def need to talk."

Mia, Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex assistant, told the court Thursday that she never called the police on her former boss.

Even after allegedly witnessing violent interactions between the "Victory" rapper and Cassie Ventura, Mia didn't get law enforcement officials involved because "Puff's authority was above the police," she claimed.

Mia testified that the time was years before social media existed and before anyone stood up to someone in power like Diddy. At the time, she said it may have fallen under confidentiality.

She claimed it was her job to protect Diddy from others because so many people were trying to blackmail him.

Mia allegedly often saw bruises on Cassie's body, including fat lips, busted eyebrow and black eyes.

Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie Ventura’s former stylist claimed there was a part of the “Me & U” singer’s life she kept from him.

Deonte Nash confirmed he had no idea there were videos of Cassie having sex with other men until 2013. He agreed with Diddy’s defense that Cassie kept that part of her life secret.

Nash testified Wednesday that Diddy threatened to release sex tapes of Cassie during a violent physical outburst. The alleged moment occurred while he and Cassie were cooking in her apartment. Nash testified that the rapper grabbed Cassie by the back of her hair and shirt and pushed her halfway out the door. Nash claimed Diddy then “popped [him]” in the back of the head.

According to Nash, Diddy “began to berate us both…you’re not going to be playing with him…take your broke a-- and ride into the sunset…” Cassie and Nash drove away and allegedly got a call from Diddy to pull over. Nash remembered Diddy coming to the window to talk to Cassie, telling her that “she f----- up, that he was going to put her sex tapes on the Internet…start by first selling them to her parents’ jobs…her brother was a b---- and he was the only one who protected her.”

Nash recalled Cassie was in tears and Diddy was angry. He claimed they drove to Nash’s house. Nash said he told Cassie if Combs wanted to release the sex tapes to let him because Diddy was on them too. Cassie told Nash that Combs was not on the tapes, that he recorded Cassie having sex with other guys. Nash testified that Cassie told him she didn’t want to have sex with other guys but did because “Puff wanted her to.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former stylist Deonte Nash confirmed he introduced Cassie Ventura to Michael B Jordan. According to Nash, “he fine, she fine…” and Diddy’s assistant “Mia” “drove it home.” Nash claimed Combs and Cassie were broken up at the time.

Nash said he was at the Revolt conference in Miami in 2015 to style Lil Kim. Cassie was not there as she was in South Africa filming a movie. Nash told the jury Diddy signed off on the contract to allow Cassie to do the movie.

Diddy’s defense attorney Xavier Donaldson asked if Diddy was with another woman at the conference and if he told Cassie. Nash responded, “You’re not putting that on me…” According to Nash, another stylist told Cassie that Combs was with Gina at the conference. He testified that when Cassie found out, she was angry.

Cassie previously testified that she broke up with Diddy in 2015 while in South Africa for a movie. She told Diddy’s defense lawyer that someone had reached out to her about being at an event, but Cassie wasn't actually there. She testified that she eventually learned Combs was at the event with Gina, another woman he had been seeing. Cassie admitted during cross-examination to being angry because she thought Gina was no longer in the picture.

Cassie explained she cut off contact with Combs, blocked him, and focused on the movie.

Diddy began to suspect she was in a relationship with Jordan, but Cassie testified she doesn’t remember his reaction.

Deonte Nash, a celebrity stylist who previously worked for Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie Ventura, took the stand to continue his cross-examination by the rapper’s defense.

Attorney Xavier Donaldson asked Nash about Cassie suffering a gash on her head. Nash told Donaldson that while Cassie was on the floor, Diddy continued to kick her.

Donaldson then asked about Nash’s meetings with the government. He asked why Nash did not reveal that Diddy continued to kick Cassie when she was on the ground during his meeting. Nash responded that the prosecution did not ask.

“I gave as little as possible,” he said in court. “I only answered what I was asked.”

On Wednesday, Nash claimed he was only there because he was subpoenaed to testify.

When asked if he wanted to testify, the celebrity stylist said, “absolutely not.”

An alleged victim of Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to testify Thursday in the rapper’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

The prosecution asked for additional privacy measures for “Mia.” The alleged victim, who has been allowed to testify under a pseudonym, worked as Diddy’s assistant.

The government requested to turn off the video feed of the witness box during Mia’s testimony. However, Judge Arun Subramanian said he won’t do that. The federal judge pointed out that no sketches are allowed to be made of Mia during Diddy’s trial.

Arson investigator Lance Jimenez testified about the damage done to Kid Cudi’s Porsche on Wednesday. Jimenez responded to a call about a car fire in January of 2012.

Kid Cudi previously testified that he believed Sean "Diddy" Combs was involved in the fire.

The jury was shown photos of the vehicle’s front seat showing a handkerchief and the bottle used in the Molotov cocktail. Jimenez said they collected both the handkerchief and bottle.

A photo of the driver’s side door with the burn pattern was shown. Jimenez said there was severe damage, but not normally what you would see with a Molotov cocktail.

An additional photo of the cloth material that was believed to be inside the bottle was then shown. Jimenez testified the cloth appeared to be designer.

Jimenez recalled there being a lot of heat damage to the door, windows and center console.  He claimed he did not observe broken windows. Jimenez said the bottle, which was not broken, had been dropped into the car. The gas had seemingly splashed around, causing the burn patterns. Jimenez said he believed the cloth was a soaking type material and it fell out of the bottle. The arson investigator testified that the fire stayed small and caused the damage it was intended to.

Jimenez told the jury that if the bottle had broken, the vegetation would have caught fire, and the fire could have affected the home.

Jimenez said it was his opinion that someone lit the Molotov cocktail, cut the roof and dropped it into the car.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was back in court Thursday as the disgraced music mogul prepared to hear testimony from another alleged victim.

Diddy sat at the defense table wearing a light-colored sweater, chatting with one of his attorneys, before the jury arrived.

The prosecution, defense and federal judge spoke about pending issues regarding the testimony of “Mia,” the alleged victim who is allowed to testify under a pseudonym.

The jury will first hear from Deonte Nash. The celebrity stylist previously testified Wednesday that Diddy had become physically violent with the celebrity stylist on at least one occasion. He told the jury that he also witnessed the rapper physically assault Cassie multiple times.

Nash, who worked for Diddy from 2008 until 2018, claimed Cassie and Diddy went to hotels nearly every week. To prepare for these hotel outings, Cassie would allegedly pack a duffle bag with sex toys.

The prosecution in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial has set out to prove the rapper is guilty of sex-trafficking, racketeering and more. Key witnesses, including Cassie Ventura's mom and her best friend, have helped bolster the government's case against the disgraced music mogul.

"But not all the testimony landed perfectly for the prosecution," criminal defense lawyer Jo-Anna Nieves told Fox News Digital. "Some of it may have actually given the defense room to argue that the government’s case is more about painting Diddy as a bad person than proving he committed crimes."

A handful of witnesses have given testimony that borders on "feeling more sensationalized" than "substantive," Nieves told Fox News Digital.

"For instance, George Kaplan talked about Diddy’s erratic behavior but didn’t directly tie it to illegal acts and he left the job on his own terms," the Oakland-based attorney added. "The defense could use this to argue that things weren’t as dangerous or criminal as they’re being portrayed if he was free to leave. Then there was the hotel staff testimony, which focused on cleanup and 'excessively oily' rooms. This testimony may stick in jurors’ minds, but without a clear link to criminal conduct, it risks feeling more sensationalized than substantive. And while Cassie’s former best friend, Kerry Morgan, gave powerful and emotional testimony about witnessing abuse, and even being assaulted herself, the defense may question her credibility by suggesting she had personal motives, emotional bias, or stood to gain financially."

"While the prosecution is drawing a picture of control, coercion, and criminal enterprise, the defense is starting to suggest that some witnesses are emotionally charged, circumstantial, or lacking firsthand knowledge of actual crimes. That’s where the risk of testimony backfiring comes into play; when it creates more noise than substance, it can give the defense room to argue that the case is built more on character assassination than on solid, provable facts."

TMZ founder Harvey Levin told Fox News Digital some celebrities are starting to worry about being called to the witness stand as the federal trial for sex crimes against Sean “Diddy” Combs continues.

Diddy is charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial is now in its third week, and a few celebrities have already taken the stand.

"I have heard that there are some celebrities worried about being called to testify and have even lawyered up trying to fight that," Levin told Fox News Digital. 

"I think [rapper Kid] Cudi and Cassie were the star witnesses, but I don't know who else the prosecution has up their sleeve," Levin said. "I don’t know what's going on behind the scenes there, but they've got four weeks left of testimony before they hand it over to the defense. We will see. But what they clearly are doing is cobbling together what they claim is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he has committed these various crimes." 

Levin didn’t detail which celebrities might be called to testify. 

Celebrities already mentioned over the course of the trial, include Michael B. Jordan, Usher, former President Barack Obama, Britney Spears, Bruce Willis and Jennifer Lopez. None of these celebs have been accused of any wrongdoing.

Sean “Diddy” Combs  is facing 15 years to life in prison on charges of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to a federal indictment.

In documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Diddy’s defense team admitted the disgraced rapper committed "domestic violence" against a partner.

Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer, Dan Rubin, explained how Diddy’s strategy seems to be to "admit to what is a lesser, state crime to avoid federal prison."

"This is smart because while Diddy might admit that something unlawful happened , it’s not as bad as what the federal prosecutors are saying happened, and the federal government would have no ability to punish him at all, let alone with a higher prison sentence," Rubin said.

During the first week of testimony, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura testified to being forced to engage in alleged “freak offs,” and claimed it was commonplace for Diddy to become "physical" with her in their relationship. She defined "physical" as punishment, beatings, kicking, etc.
