Diddy’s trial update: Former assistant Mia’s past work history related to Mike Myers comes to light in the fourth week

The fourth week of Sean "Diddy" Combs's ongoing federal trial started in early June 2025. The evidence was extensive, and the witnesses revealed a great deal about their histories. One of these disclosures was about "Mia," who had worked for both Combs and actor Mike Myers in the past. The prosecution focused on her extensive experience working with famous people, while the defense sought to question her honesty and motives. This information came out throughout their conversation.

Former assistant Mia’s past work history related to Mike Myers comes to light in the fourth week

In March 2024, federal prosecutors accused Sean "Diddy" Combs of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and other related crimes in a 24-count superseding indictment. The government says that Combs was a member of a criminal group that was centered on his Bad Boy brand from 1996 until 2023. He is said to have recruited, protected, and exploited numerous women, forcing them into sexual acts while threatening to hurt them and preserving control.

Diddy Combs has denied all of the charges against him, and his lawyers have filed a not guilty plea on his behalf. People who used to work for or with Combs have testified in court since the trial began on May 12, 2025, about the sexual and physical abuse they suffered at his hands.

Combs hired a woman named "Mia" as a personal assistant in 2009 and kept her on until 2017, when her job ended. She is a key witness in the lawsuit against Diddy Combs, who she says sexually and physically abused her multiple times. For much of the week, she had been giving testimony about an equation that was full of manipulation, surveillance, and pressure. The defense has aggressively cross-examined her in an attempt to make her seem less trustworthy by pointing out her inconsistencies and contextual situations.

During the fourth week of the hearing, which took place on June 2, 2025, the prosecution said that Mia had previously worked as an assistant to actor Mike Myers. The prosecution's attempts to prove that Mia had dealt with important customers and, in stressful circumstances, a lot brought this reality to light. The prosecution wanted to show that Mia had dealt with sensitive problems in secret before, which would support her story about Combs's alleged actions.

The defense utilized Mia's past profession and implied that she was just interested in money or personal gain. They wondered whether Mia might have spoken out sooner or used her contacts in Hollywood. Benjamin Brafman, the defense lawyer, focused on text messages that Mia sent after she quit her job in 2016 that showed she was upset, as well as several social media posts that she admitted to praising Diddy Combs while she was still working for him and after she quit. The defense maintained that Mia's mental instability and public adoration for Combs were not consistent with her later claims of abuse.

People who follow the industry have said that bringing up Mia's former work with Mike Myers serves two purposes: it firmly places her in Hollywood's ecosystem, which shows that she is used to the strains of being a star, and it also gives the defense a chance to attack her honesty. As the trial goes on, additional former workers and alleged victims have also testified, talking about abusive events that show a pattern of alleged bad behavior by Diddy Combs over many years.
