'Traumatized' Assistant Testifies Diddy Pursued Her Relentlessly After Cassie’s Lawsuit: 'It’s Not Going to Stop'

After Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed her bombshell lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs in November 2023, accusing him of years of physical and sexual abuse, he contacted an assistant who had worked for him for several years, the woman testified Friday, May 30, at his sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

The woman, who is testifying under the pseudonym “Mia,” said she had received phone calls and text messages from Combs and one of his close associates, D-Roc, asking to speak with her, but that she avoided Combs.

In December 2023, weeks after Combs and Ventura privately settled the lawsuit she had filed against him, Mia said D-Roc messaged her again and told her Combs wanted her to call him.

“I was terrified,” she said.

She said she remembered thinking, “Oh my God, it’s not going to stop.”

Jurors were shown a Feb. 7, 2024, message Combs sent Mia in which he asked to speak by phone to have his “memory jogged on some things.”

“I knew the nice messages were a front,” Mia testified. She said she didn’t respond.

“I wanted nothing to do with him,” she said. “He was the person I was traumatized by.”

She said she believed Combs feared she would tell people about what she had witnessed him do over the years.

She testified Thursday that in the eight years she worked for Combs, she was subjected to violence and sexual assault on multiple occasions and that she endured grueling work conditions. She alleged Thursday that Combs had put his hand up her dress, forced her to perform oral sex and climbed into her bed while she was asleep and had sex with her against her will. She is the second woman to testify about alleged sexual abuse by Combs.

Mia, who worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017, also testified Thursday that she witnessed Combs assault Ventura, his on-and-off girlfriend of more than a decade, who was signed to his music label as Cassie, numerous times. Ventura testified for four days during the first week of the trial.

Combs is not accused of sex trafficking Mia. Prosecutors allege he subjected her to forced labor — part of the broader racketeering charge that claims Combs ran a criminal enterprise to commit and conceal crimes.

Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
