- A former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs testified Thursday that he was violent with her multiple times during her eight years working for him

- The woman, testifying under the pseudonym “Mia,” also accused Combs of sexual assaulting her multiple times
A former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs testified Thursday that he was violent with her repeatedly — including once when he hurled a bowl of spaghetti at her after she went to change her tampon.
The woman, who is testifying at Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering trial under the pseudonym “Mia,” said on the witness stand that while she was living with Combs at one of his homes in Los Angeles, he had told her to gather people so they could all leave.
She said she had been working since the morning without a break, so she went to her bedroom instead to change her tampon, which she claimed upset Combs.
“He went on a really humiliating rant in front of everybody,” she testified. “There was blood dripping down my leg and I said, ‘I’m on my period. I just need to change my tampon.’”
She said Combs threw a bowl of spaghetti at her and cursed at her, telling her that she needed to get out of his house.

Diddy’s Former Assistant Mia Says He Sexually Assaulted Her ‘Several Times,’ Made Her Crack His Knuckles
She said the bowl missed her by a couple of arm’s lengths, and that she was later suspended from her job without pay.
That alleged encounter was one of several where Mia testified Combs had been violent. She also said that in separate instances, he had thrown her into a swimming pool, thrown an ice bucket on her head and slammed her arm into a door. She also testified that he had sexually assaulted her multiple times.
Combs is accused of subjecting Mia to forced labor. She worked for him from 2009 to 2017. Combs has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. The forced labor allegation is part of the racketeering conspiracy charge. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
