Speaker 2: The ex personal assistant of Sean Ditty, Combe's return to

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: the witness stand on Friday, just one day after her

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: initial testimony detailing the abuse she claims to have endured

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: from the rap mogul, who is currently on trial. During

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: this session, defense attorneys aim to challenge her allegations of

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: abuse and rape. For more, Here's Crime Online. Sidney Sumner Mia.

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 3: Who is testifying under a pseudonym, is a former director

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 3: of Development and Acquisitions for Revolt Films, an assistant to

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: Sean Combs, who she mainly refers to as Puff or PD.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: MIA's fear is quite plain as she sits across the

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: room from her former boss. Mia is hunched over as

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: she walks to and from the stand, barely looks up

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: from her lap while she answers questions and speaks very quietly,

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: sometimes not much louder than a whisper.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: Attorney Brian Steele sifted through years of MIA's social media activity,

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: attempting to argue that her previous post contradicted the emotional

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: testimony she provided on Thursday and Friday regarding her time

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: working for Combs. Mia recounted to the jury that Combs

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: had threatened her over the years, hurling objects at her,

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: sexually assaulting her multiple times, including an instant where she

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: was raped while she slept at his residence in Los Angeles.

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: In an effort to cast doubt on her credibility, Steele

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: highlighted a number of positive social media messages Mia had

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: posted about Ditty, suggesting that her feelings toward him were

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: inconsistent with her testimony. Quote thank you for being the

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: good kind of crazy, she had written on one of

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: his birthdays, and quote thank you for being a friend

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: and bringing friends into my life. Although Mia acknowledged the

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: authenticity of those earlier post she refuted the defense's attempt

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: to undermine her account. She said, quote what I wrote

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: is a result of psychological abuse, she explained to the jury,

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: clarifying why she had previously shared positive sentiments about Diddy.

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: As the third week of the trial in Combe's sex

38
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: trafficking and racketeering case concluded, Mia stood as a crucial

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: witness for the prosecution. Combs has entered a plea of

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: not guilty and denies all allegations of sexual assault. In

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: response to days of testimony from various witnesses detailing his

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: reported violent behavior, sexual misconduct, and drug use. Comb's legal

43
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: team contends that while he may have engaged in other

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: illegal activities, he is innocent of the felony charges currently

45
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: against him in the Manhattan Court. If found guilty on

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: all counts, he faces the possibility of life in prison.

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: Nancy Steals cross examination of Mia will continue today and
