A former personal assistant to Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs testified in his racketeering and sex trafficking federal trial about alleged sexual abuse and that she wouldn’t be allowed to sleep for days
A former personal assistant to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs has told the court of her harrowing experience while working for the rapper, claiming she worked for five days straight without sleep.
She gave evidence at Diddy’s racketeering and sex trafficking federal trial on Thursday, May 29, and captivated the courtroom as she detailed the tortuous eight years she spent working for the volatile rapper.
Mia, a pseudonym to protect her identity, testified about alleged sexual abuse and the extreme demands of her job, which left her sleep-deprived “on more than one occasion.”
Her voice was barely above a whisper as she told the jury of Combs’ alleged “sporadic” sexual assaults. When working away, Combs allegedly would not allow her to lock her bedroom door, and she testified that one night she woke to feel the “weight” of her boss in her bed.
She said she “froze and felt, “terrified and confused and ashamed and… scared.”
When prosecutor Madison Smyser asked Mia if she wanted to have sex with Combs, she sobbed and responded, “No.”
Alongside her testimony regarding the alleged sexual abuse, Mia said she endured a “toxic” and “chaotic” work atmosphere as his assistant, and then as the director of development and acquisition for Revolt Films in 2013.
When quizzed by prosecutors on how often she was expected to stay awake, Mia replied that it was “all the time” and revealed that the longest time she remained without sleep was an exhausting five days. To cope with the demand, Mia turned to ADHD drugs, particularly Adderall, which helped her remain alert.
Mia described the meds as particularly potent, commenting “I guess it was much stronger than the normal, it allowed me to quasi function.”
She told the court that after five days Diddy finally allowed her some rest when she suffered a “physical breakdown.”
Describing the moment, Mia testified: “I remember my hearing went, it felt like I was underwater, my equilibrium was off, I started not seeing things but blurred vision, lights that weren’t there.
“I out of nowhere burst into tears, I was hysterical and couldn’t stop crying.”
According to court documents, Mia’s role as Diddy’s PA included everything from cracking his knuckles to sorting his taxes. One bonkers task even had her standing by Diddy for 22 hours doing nothing if he demanded it.
The document noted, referring to Diddy as PD, “Every single day is different. PD can ask you to do 17,000 things.”
Mia is dubbed Victim-4 in the five-count indictment against Diddy, with charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Diddy has pled not guilty on all counts and vehemently denies the accusations levelled at him.
