Sean Diddy Combs is facing the third week of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial in New York City, DailyMail reports.
The music mogul, Diddy, 55, has sat by his team of star lawyers as prosecutors accuse him of using his wealth and fame to coerce and threaten women and employees into serving his every need and sexual fantasy.
Stylist Deonte Nash told the jury on Wednesday he saw Diddy berating Cassie to engage in drug-fueled sexual encounters, ‘freak offs,’ and that Cassie confided to him that she didn’t want to but felt obliged.
Diddy’s ex-assistant Mia is set to take the stand next, and tell the jury that she was sexually abused by the music executive.
Diddy denies all allegations against him. His lawyers admit he’s a woman beater – although he does not face domestic abuse charges – but that he is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering.
Diddy did not allow ‘Mia’ to sleep for five days, court hears
When asked by lawyers how long she was required to go without sleep, Mia said: ‘All the time.’
She said: ‘I can usually power through but I remember when I was younger waking up for school, ok Mia, you get out at 3 o’clock you can sleep then. I remember thinking I’d been awake for two days. I didn’t have anything to hold onto for when I could go to sleep’.
Prosecutor Madison Smyser asked what was the longest period of time with no sleep.
Mia said: ‘Five days’.
She explained that she was working and traveling with Diddy constantly.
Mia had to rely on her ADHD medication, Adderall tablets, to keep her awake as they were the extended release version.
‘I guess it was much stronger than the normal, it allowed me to quasi function’, Mia said.
Diddy finally let her sleep when she had a ‘physical breakdown’.
Mia said: ‘I remember my hearing went, it felt like I was underwater, my equilibrium was off, I started not seeing things but blurred vision, lights that weren’t there.
‘I out of nowhere burst into tears, I was hysterical and couldn’t stop crying’.
Mia also shared a list of her duties as Diddy’s assistant.
One task read: ‘EVERY SINGLE DAY IS DIFFERENT – PD CAN ASK YOU TO DO 17,000 THINGS AT ONE TIME THAT RANGE FROM CRACKING HIS KNUCKLES TO WRITING HIS NEXT MOVIE TO DOING HIS TAXES.
‘HE CAN ASK YOU TO STAND NEXT TO HIM FOR 22 HOURS DOING NOTHING’.
