Diddy trial: Former assistant using pseudonym testifies
One of Sean "Diddy" Combs' former assistants, "Mia," took the stand today. FOX 5 NY's Lisa Evers has more.
Mia said the first assault happened at Diddy’s 40th birthday party at the Plaza Hotel, where he allegedly gave her alcohol and touched her without consent. She also claimed he once threw a computer at her head, shoved her into a wall and slammed her arm in a door.
"Mia" painted a picture of a controlling and toxic work environment, where she worked extreme hours and wasn’t allowed to leave his homes without permission. Mia also testified that she wasn’t allowed to lock her bedroom door, while Diddy’s security staff had privacy and locks.

Trump answers whether he would pardon Diddy
During a White House event celebrating Elon Musk, President Donald Trump was asked if he would consider pardoning Sean "Diddy" Combs amid the hip hop mogul’s ongoing sex trafficking case. FOX 5 NY's Briella Tomassetti has the latest details.
She said she once snuck out with Cassie to a Prince party, and when Diddy found them, he allegedly attacked her until security intervened. She also described witnessing Diddy physically assault Cassie and said Diddy controlled her finances housing, and possessions.
Who is ‘Mia’?
Dig deeper:
"Mia" has been allowed to testify under a pseudonym to protect her identity as she accuses the music mogul of sexual assault. The prosecution requested additional privacy measures, and the judge ruled that no courtroom sketches of Mia could be made during the trial.

Mia told the court she moved to New York City with hopes of breaking into the entertainment industry, inspired by her love of storytelling, film and television. Her first job was with fashion designer Georgina Chapman, the former wife of disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein. She later became a personal assistant to actor Mike Myers before being hired by Diddy.

She began working for Diddy in 2009, serving not only as his assistant but also as a director at Revolt, a digital cable television network that Diddy co-founded. Mia worked for him until 2017.
What's next:
It’s unclear how much longer exactly the cross-examination will take, but once her testimony is over, prosecutors will call radio and podcast personality, Enrique Santos, to the witness stand.

Cassie says in a lawsuit that Combs subjected her to years of abuse, including beatings and rape. Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, signed to Combs' label in 2005, and the two were on-again-off-again romantic partners for more than a decade starting in 2007. The lawsuit filed in federal court says Combs was "prone to uncontrollable rage" and subjected her to "savage" beatings. It says he plied her with drugs, forced her to have sex with other men, and raped her in her home as she was trying to end the relationship in 2018. Combs, through his attorney, "vehemently denies" the accusations.
How many years does Diddy face?
If convicted, the 55-year-old Diddy could face 15 years to life in prison.
In documents obtained by FOX News Digital, Diddy’s defense team admitted the disgraced rapper committed "domestic violence" against a partner. Diddy’s strategy seems to be to "admit to what is a lesser, state crime to avoid federal prison."
When was Diddy arrested?
Diddy was arrested in Oct. 2024 at the Park Hyatt New York in Midtown Manhattan. He's been in jail ever since.
