Overview

• Testifying under a pseudonym, Mia returned for a third day in the trial’s fourth week to recount alleged physical and sexual assaults by Combs during her 2009–2017 employment.
• Defense attorney Brian Steel confronted Mia with dozens of friendly texts and Instagram posts to argue they undermine her claims of enduring coercion and abuse.
• Mia said she stayed in contact after the alleged assaults because she was manipulated and fearful of Combs, describing herself as “brainwashed” and isolated.
• Prosecutors pointed out that Mia’s post-employment settlement of $400,000—$200,000 after legal fees—made no provision for her assault allegations.
• The prosecution is set to call radio host Enrique Santos and InterContinental Hotel employees to bolster evidence of the alleged racketeering and sex-trafficking enterprise.
