Mia
Pseudonymous former employee of Sean Combs.
About
Mia testified over Days 16 through 18 as a former personal assistant to Sean Combs. On direct examination, she described demanding work, duties connected to hotel nights, alleged limits on her ability to leave Combs's homes or trips, and alleged violence, drug use, and sexual assaults during her employment.
Her continued direct testimony addressed a South Africa trip with Casandra Ventura, communications involving Kristina Khorram, an unpaid suspension, and her stated fear of losing work or facing harm. Mia also testified about a later settlement and contacts after Casandra Ventura's lawsuit.
Brian Steel's cross-examination focused on Mia's favorable social-media posts, affectionate communications after employment, gifts, a birthday video, her mediation and settlement, the timing of her disclosures, and the absence of contemporaneous reports or records. Mia acknowledged some favorable communications and the lack of such records, while saying that she was fearful and loyal, that social media showed positive moments, and that she had been expected to support Combs's brand.
On redirect, Mia said managing social media and making favorable posts were part of her work, described the posts as reflecting good times rather than alleged abuse, and said the government had not told her what to say.
