Sean Combs’ Ex-Assistant Says Mogul ‘Terrified and Brainwashed’ Her

Seam "Diddy" Combs' ex-assistant explained her hesitancy to accuse him sooner of sexual assault, saying he 'terrified and brainwashed' her.

Steel’s line of questioning was similar to the defense’s approach last week, with Combs’ attorneys trying to undermine Mia’s allegations by highlighting instances where she appeared affectionate towards her former boss. Asked if Combs still had a hold on her at that point, Mia said the mogul still did “psychologically.” She also added that she sent these texts after “tragic events” in his life, like the death of his partner, Kim Porter, in November 2018. Prosecutors accuse Combs of wielding his vast wealth and “multi-faceted business empire” to fulfill his sexual desires with crimes including physical assault, threats, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
