Yeah, she said she assumed what happened was a huge accident. She said she thought it would never happen again, so she would never have to tell anyone about it. But she said it did happen again. The next time, she said, she was sleeping in bunk beds at Diddy's Los Angeles home when she woke up to feel someone lying on top of her.

So before the break, we heard from Mia's powerful direct testimony about the sexual assaults and abusive behavior that she claims Diddy carried out on her. But Brian Steele, Diddy's lawyer, who is famous for defending rapper Young Thug in his Rico trial, was also able to cross-examine her. And it's fair to say he did not hold back on his interrogation of her claims.

That's despite the fact that, before the cross-examination got underway, Mia told the jury that she suffers from complex PTSD and does not currently work, and in fact has struggled to hold down any posts since leaving her job with Diddy.

Steele asked Mia about the first alleged sexual assault at Diddy's 40th birthday party four years earlier. She accepted that she felt that possibly she had been drugged when she took the vodka shots from him.

Steele also drew attention to another birthday post from June 2014. This time it was a post from Diddy to Mia which said, quote, besides every great man is a great woman. Happy birthday. Love you. P.S. Sorry I was acting crazy last night. Mia had reposted his message and written alongside it, quote, thanks Puff. Love you. You've shown me the world.

Steele asked her why she had decided to repost Diddy's message. Mia claimed he had threatened her life on the phone the night before and that this had been his way of apologizing.

The defense then brought up another incident when Mia claimed she was sexually assaulted by Diddy in the bathroom of his private jet. And we should say that she sounded quite impressive and spoke very eloquently when she was talking to the jury about this.

So before the break, we heard the start of Mia's cross-examination by Diddy's lawyer, Brian Steele, which pretty much wrapped up her testimony on Friday.

It's also worth mentioning that the defense also pointed out on Friday that although Mia is supposed to be an anonymous witness, she has actually been identified and exposed by online sleuths who have been sending videos and old social media posts to them. But on Monday, she was back on the stand for the continuation of her cross-examination.

After an objection, Mia did not answer that question, but she did defend herself. She admitted she told Diddy she loved him and sent him heart emojis and messages, but that was because she saw him as her protector.
