• Former assistant Mia accuses Diddy of sexual and physical assault during her employment.
• Mia describes her working environment as "chaotic" and "toxic," with severe power dynamics.
• She testified about witnessing violence against R&B singer Cassie Ventura, alleging Diddy's abusive behavior.

In a shocking courtroom testimony, Sean "Diddy" Combs' former personal assistant, using the pseudonym "Mia," detailed her harrowing experiences while working for the music mogul from 2009 to 2017. During the trial, Mia described the work environment as "chaotic" and "toxic", stating that it was punctuated by extreme highs and lows largely dictated by Combs' mood. She recounted instances of physical violence, including being thrown against walls and into a swimming pool, as well as episodes of sexual assault, including forced sexual acts against her will, which have led to significant legal ramifications for Combs, who faces sex trafficking and racketeering charges. If convicted, he could face life in prison, according to Business Insider, Newsweek, and HuffPost.

Mia's testimony provided a grim insight into her life under Combs' employment, asserting that his violent behavior instilled fear among staff, often rendering their experience one of uncertainty and dread. She revealed, “Puff’s mood determined the environment,” and noted that employees were frequently subjected to long hours with little to no rest. At one point, she worked nearly five days straight without sleep, relying on her ADHD medication to function under the pressure of intensive demands, according to Business Insider and HuffPost.

The assistant's revelations extended beyond her own suffering as she described witnessing Diddy’s abusive treatment towards his long-time partner, Cassie Ventura. Mia testified to seeing Combs inflict severe violence on Ventura, including a particularly brutal incident where Ventura was thrown against a bedframe resulting in significant injuries. She expressed her deep concern for both her and Ventura's safety during these episodes of violence, stating, "I realized we were in real danger," referring to Combs' threatening demeanor, according to Newsweek and HuffPost.

Mia's testimony is pivotal as prosecutors aim to present Combs as the orchestrator of a criminal enterprise involving sexual harassment and racketeering. She also shared that her responsibilities included a wide array of demanding tasks, emphasizing that she often felt overwhelmed by the extreme pressure. The court has allowed several women to testify under pseudonyms for their privacy and safety, underscoring the trial’s serious nature, according to Business Insider, Newsweek, and HuffPost.
