“Mia” - a former assistant & close friend of Cassie - took the stand in the US vs. Sean P Diddy Combs' trial today.
Her voice trembled. Her words stunned.
She says Diddy was a monster behind closed doors.
🧵Here’s what she revealed:
2. Mia sobbed on the stand:
💔“Cassie ran into my room screaming, ‘HE’S GONNA K-LL ME!’”
This happened during a 2012 Turks & Caicos trip.
She says she woke up to Cassie BEGGING for her life.
Let that sink in.
3. Mia believed Combs was untouchable.
He told staff: LOYALTY means silence.
She said:
🛑 “This was before #MeToo. We thought people like him were above the law.”
The violence? Covered up. The silence? Conditioned.
4. What Mia saw on Cassie:
❌ Fat lips
❌ Busted eyebrows
❌ Black eyes
❌ Gashes on her forehead
❌ Bruising hidden under makeup at events
She said Cassie HID in hotels until she looked “normal” again.
5. During Cannes 2012, Diddy dug his nails into Cassie’s arm.
At “The Perfect Match” premiere, Mia took a photo of Cassie—
She had bruises under her eye and on her arms, all hidden by makeup.
This was the norm, Mia said. Not the exception.
6. Mia also described cleaning nightmare hotel rooms after Diddy.
She’d find:
🔹 Baby oil
🔹 Candle wax
🔹 Lubricants
🔹 …and sometimes blood
She said Cassie would develop stomach issues before hotel nights with him.
7. This isn’t just about a powerful man.
It’s about the pain hidden behind red carpets.
It’s about how far money and fame can shield abuse.
Mia returns to testify tomorrow.
We’re just scratching the surface.

2. These are the charges
Count 1: Racketeering conspiracy
Count 2: S-x trafficking of Cassie Ventura
Count 3: Transportation for prostitution of Cassie and others
Count 4: S-x trafficking of "Jane"
Count 5: Transportation for prostitution of Jane and others
3. Yesterday, the jury reached a verdict on Counts 2 through 5, but the court agreed that a partial verdict would not be accepted, they must continue deliberating on Count 1. Hopefully, we'll find out today
2. Fewer people were in court today. Today, Sean Combs was dressed in a white sweater. Janice Combs was also in court silently watching proceedings as usual
3. Today's session was mainly about the second note the judge received yesterday from the jury. It was a question about the charges concerning the distribution of controlled substances.
2. Jury deliberations will begin shortly. Jurors are facing the heavy task of reviewing all five federal charges against him: racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and two counts of transportation for prostitution.
3. The 12-member jury is made up of 8 men and 4 women, aged 30 to 74, hailing from Manhattan, the Bronx, and Westchester County. Their professional backgrounds span from investment analysts to massage therapists, offering a diverse cross-section of New York City life.
2. Before the jury walked in, Sean Combs stood at the defense table hyping up his legal team like it was Super Bowl halftime palms pressed in prayer, shaking them at each lawyer. His lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, paced by the podium, tense and focused.
3. Marc Agnifilo opened with a punch: “This is a tale of two trials.” According to him, the real trial was what witnesses, texts, and videos showed. The prosecution’s version? “An exaggerated trial.” He didn’t deny everything. “We own the domestic violence,” he said.
2. Agnifilo says he's expecting to complete his closing arguments in about three hours.
3. Marc Agnifilo: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, let’s talk about who Sean Combs really is. He’s a self-made Black entrepreneur. A visionary. A man who built real businesses, businesses so successful and groundbreaking that major players chose to partner with him.
Today was the prosecutors closing arguments in the Sean Combs trial and we got literal descriptions of some of the videos the jury were privy to. There's a lot to unpack here so let's dive in.
2. Prosecutors wrapped 6 weeks of testimony today, with closing arguments. AUSA Christy Slavik called him the kingpin of a "criminal enterprise." Kidnapping, arson, bribery, sex trafficking - oh my! Is this a music mogul or a mob boss?
AUSA Slavik on the right.
3. Slavik painted Diddy’s inner circle as loyal lieutenants in his empire of "violence, coercion, and manipulation." Ex-chief of staff Kristina Khorram and security guards allegedly enabled his darkest deeds. Raising questions as to who was really pulling the strings.
