Diddy's Former Assistant Cries on Stand Recalling Gruesome Incident When She Realized She Was 'in Danger'

On the 12th day of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ high-profile federal sex trafficking trial, his former assistant testified that she felt she was “in danger” while witnessing the music mogul allegedly attack his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

On Thursday, May 29, Mia, who is using a pseudonym, recalled the alleged 2013 incident, which previously came up in Ventura’s testimony as well as Deonte Nash’s, Combs’ former stylist, who spoke about the alleged attack one day earlier.

“I realized we were in real danger,” Mia testified through tears while recalling the moment when she and Nash jumped on Combs’ back to try and stop him.

Nash previously told the court that Combs threw him and Mia off his back while continuing to beat Ventura until she hit her head on a bed frame.

Mia testified Thursday that Combs “slammed” Ventura’s head into a sharp corner of the bed and split her head open. At one point, Combs allegedly said, “Look what y’all made me do,” per Nash’s testimony.

Then, Combs allegedly “immediately snapped to protector mode and asked to have a doctor he knows called to tell them Cassie had fell and injured herself because she was drunk,” Mia testified.

Earlier on Thursday, Mia said she worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017, and that her role included reading his mood each day because it dictated everything. She described the work environment as “toxic,” and listed several occasions where Combs was allegedly violent towards her.
