Diddy Trial Recap: Week 3-Friday May 30th (Part 4) (6/1/25) 1f5d4c

On Friday, May 30, 2025, the federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs continued with the cross-examination of his former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym "Mia." Defense attorney Brian Steel focused on Mia's past social media posts that appeared to praise Combs, including a 2014 birthday message referring to him as "the good kind of crazy" and "a friend." Mia acknowledged the authenticity of the posts but explained they were made under psychological duress, stating, "It's called psychological abuse." She emphasized that her public expressions did not reflect her private experiences, which she described as traumatic and abusive. The defense's strategy aimed to challenge Mia's credibility by highlighting these positive public statements. However, Mia maintained that her actions were a coping mechanism within a coercive environment, asserting that her true feelings were suppressed due to fear and manipulation. Her testimony reinforced the prosecution's narrative of a pattern of abuse and control exerted by Combs over his employees and associates. to me: [email protected] 4z2u3a
