Overview

  • Mia, who worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017, described repeated physical assaults—being thrown against walls, into a pool and struck with objects—alongside multiple nonconsensual sexual attacks.
  • She recalled witnessing Combs viciously beat his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2013, an attack that left Ventura with a severe head laceration.
  • Mia said Combs and his team sent urgent messages in October 2015 threatening to ruin her burgeoning career after Ventura learned of his infidelity, and later repeatedly tried to contact her following Ventura’s 2023 lawsuit.
  • Prosecutors announced they will rest their case earlier than expected as the trial enters its third week, signaling that defense witnesses are likely to follow.
  • Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to racketeering, sex trafficking and related charges, faces up to life in prison; his defense concedes past domestic violence but insists all sexual encounters were consensual.
