Ex-Combs Trial Aide Describes Persisting Trauma - Still traumatized ex-Combs trial aide recalls events
In the midst of rapper Sean Combs, or famously known as Diddy, facing accusations of sexual crimes, his ex-assistant, alias Mia, testified in the New York trial that she's still deeply traumatized. The horrific experiences with him have left her incapable of returning to work.
Mia reportedly shared that even mundane occurrences, like being asked about her whereabouts, would trigger panic attacks.
Previously, this woman, who employed by Combs from 2009-2017, alleged that he had subjected her to repeated sexual and physical assaults during that timeframe. "When Puff wasn't pleased, I'd cringe, since I sought to ensure he was content, so I'd remain secure," she confessed in court, based on U.S. media sources.
The career titan, aged 55, faces life imprisonment if found guilty
When Mia aspired to leave Combs' employ—even briefly—she needed his prior consent, she revealed. She even had to grovel to attend her grandmother's funeral.
Combs is being charged with sex trafficking, organized crime, and other criminal offenses. Vigorously refuting all charges, he pleaded not guilty. Facing life imprisonment, his trial is expected to persist for several more weeks.
