The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn't a secret at all.
At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all.
Everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now, he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.
Another woman has now come forward, alleging Combs of sexual assault. Music mogul and rapper Sean Diddy.
He claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs. Oh, this guy is dangerous.
From freak-offs to the mysterious list, the shocking case that has gripped the world is finally here. And we'll be bringing you every detail as it happens. Welcome to The Trial of Diddy. Welcome back to the trial of Diddy. We are now approaching the end of week three of the U.S. versus Sean Combs case. On Tuesday, we heard from Capricorn Clark, who's Diddy's former assistant. She dropped bombshell after bombshell on the entire alleged Kid Cudi home invasion.
Yeah, so on Wednesday morning, Diddy's lawyers demanded a mistrial after hearing from Lance Jimenez from the Los Angeles Fire Department, who was on the scene after the bombing of Kid Cudi's car in January 2012. He claimed that the evidence was destroyed after the incident. We'll bring you word-for-word details from Capricorn Clark, Officer Jimenez, and Officer Ignacio of the Los Angeles Police Department shortly.
So right now it's Thursday, May 29th, 1.17 p.m. And Diddy's former assistant, who is choosing to remain anonymous by using the pseudonym Mia, has just taken the stand. Mia was Diddy's assistant and then was the director of development and acquisitions for Revolt TV from 2009 to 2017. She said that she applied for the job in her mid-20s while living in New York City. She recalled how the interview process was normal, involved meetings with Vashta Wilson, who was the head of HR, and a lot of other members of the staff. However, for her interview with Diddy, she said that it took place at his apartment and that he answered the door in his underwear. When she arrived, Vashta was there, introduced her to Diddy, and then left shortly after.
She said eventually Diddy did put his clothes on.
Mia said that the work environment was chaotic and could be, quote, toxic at times, but also could be exciting. She said the highs were really high and the lows were really low. The environment was determined by Diddy's mood, which she said shifted all the time. When she was asked if Diddy was ever violent towards her, she said yes, and that, quote, he's thrown things at me. He's thrown me against the wall, thrown me into a pool. He's thrown an ice bucket on my head. He slammed my arm into a door. She then paused. She lowered her voice and looked down and said he sexually assaulted her more than once. She said she didn't sleep for the first 24 hours of the job and that she would go without sleep all the time. Her longest period of time without sleep was five days.
She said she was even taking Adderall extended release medication to help her stay awake. She said that when she finally got to sleep, she had a physical breakdown saying, quote, I remember my hearing went. It felt like I was underwater. My equilibrium was off. I started not seeing things but blurred vision, lights that weren't there, quote. She said out of nowhere, she'd burst into tears, hysterical and couldn't stop crying. We will bring you more of me as a word for word testimony on Tuesday's episode next week.
