Sean Combs: "You joined the #MeToo money grab."
The defense continued hammering "Mia," who worked as Sean Combs's assistant and is now testifying, under a pseudonym. She testified that she told no one about her assault allegations until June of 2024 because she was "terrified and brainwashed." Defense attorney Brian Steel entered texts between Combs and "Mia" into evidence, texts where she reached out to him to offer support and love, including one sent just weeks before Cassie Ventura filed her explosive lawsuit.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sean Combs: The defense cross-examines "Mia."
The prosecution showed texts sent by "Mia" -- a former personal assistant of Combs testifying under a pseudonym -- where she told his chief of staff that she was having "night terrors" about him. But the defense left binders of printed out Instagram posts on the jurors' chairs. In most of them "Mia" praised her boss and showed off a party-heavy, globe-trotting lifestyle. Combs's attorney Brian Steel also pushed back on her claims that Combs sexually assaulted her.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sean Combs: Victim-4 takes the stand.
A woman who worked as Combs's personal assistant testified -- under the pseudonym "Mia" -- that he once had her work five days straight with no sleep, threw things at her, including a laptop and an ice bucket, and that he sexually assaulted her. On the stand she said an "irate" Combs once chased her and Cassie Ventura onto a Caribbean beach and that they paddled out into the ocean to get away from him, but the weather turned. "I was trying to weigh if it was scarier to face mother nature or to go back to Puff," she said. "Mia" testified that she never told anyone Combs was allegedly sexually assaulting her. "I was going to die with this," she said. "I didn't want anyone to know ever."If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sean Combs: Defense motion for mistrial denied.
Combs's defense team objected to prosecution questions about fingerprint evidence from Kid Cudi's Hollywood Hills home that was destroyed in the custody of the LAPD. "They were suggesting to this jury that someone in this courtroom had something to do with the improper and suspicious destruction of these fingerprint cards and that's outrageous," said defense attorney Marc Agnifilo. But the judge refused to call a mistrial.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
