Sean \u2018Diddy\u2019 Combs\u2019 former assistant has accused him of hurling an ice bucket at her head as part of a toxic work environment<\/p>\n
The Bad Boy Records founder, 55, is sitting trial in New York on federal charges and facing life in prison if convicted on all charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, and the jury in the case heard on Thursday (29.05.25) from a woman testifying under the pseudonym Mia.<\/p>\n
She accused Combs of repeated violence and a toxic work environment during her time employed by the music mogul, telling the federal court: \u201cHe\u2019s thrown things to me. He\u2019s thrown me against the wall, into a pool, ice bucket on my head, slammed my arms into a door.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mia, now in her early 30s, appeared in court as part of a sprawling federal case against Combs, who is also accused of operating a criminal enterprise and committing acts of physical abuse and coercion. <\/p>\n
The court heard Mia met Combs in his underwear during an interview set up by the head of Human Resources at his company. She alleged he only got dressed after she arrived.<\/p>\n
\nOriginally hired as Combs\u2019 personal assistant, Mia told prosecutors she later became director of development and acquisitions at Revolt Films, which was co-founded by Combs. <\/p>\n
\nShe said her working conditions were extreme and included working 24-hour shifts with little sleep and low pay \u2014 reportedly earning $50,000 per year at the time.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWorking long hours on little to no sleep became a norm,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\nCombs\u2019 trial took a chaotic turn on Wednesday (28.05.25) after Combs\u2019 legal team, led by attorney Marc Agnifilo, called for a mistrial. <\/p>\n
\nThe defense accused prosecutors of misconduct during questioning related to destroyed fingerprint evidence in an arson case involving musician Kid Cudi, born Scott Mescudi.<\/p>\n
\nArson investigator Lance Jimenez testified DNA recovered from a Molotov cocktail used to firebomb Kid\u2019s car in 2011 had been destroyed by the Los Angeles Police Department in 2012 without his knowledge. <\/p>\n
\nAgnifilo argued the prosecution \u201cimplied that someone in this courtroom was responsible for the destruction of the fingerprint cards\u201d;<\/p>\n
\nJudge Arun Subramanian denied the motion for a mistrial but agreed to strike the related questions and instructed the jury to disregard the DNA evidence.<\/p>\n
\nCombs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies any wrongdoing, stating any sexual encounters he had were consensual. <\/p>\n
\nThe trial is expected to continue for another six to seven weeks.<\/p>\n
