Mia said she continued to send text messages loving combs for years after the end of her job in 2017 because she was “washed by the brain”.
The woman used the word as the defense lawyer, Brian Steel, confronted her with skepticism and even suggested that she had made her claims.
Steel had Mia to read aloud for the jury many loving text messages that she sent to Combs, one in 2019 in which she said that she had a nightmare that she was trapped in an elevator with the singer R. Kelly And Combs saved it.
“And the person who assaulted you sexually came to your rescue?” Access requested. He reformulated, asking if she really dreamed of being saved by a man “who terrorized you and caused you the SSPT?” The prosecutors opposed and the judge supported it.

Day 14
In a message of August 29, 2020 in Combs, Mia recalled the highlights of her eight years of work for him – like drinking champagne at the Eiffel Tower at 4 am and reject Mick Jagger’s Give it back to the house – saying that she only remembered “good times”.
In the same message, Mia said once “bamboo” by a woman. Steel asked her why she hadn’t said that Combs also bamboo, given her accusations.
“Because I was still brainwashing,” said Mia.
Asked to explain, Mia said that in an environment where “the ups were really high and that the stockings were really low”, she developed “a huge confusion by trusting my instincts”.
“I was punished every time Puff would be violent and reacted, confusing myself and making myself think that I did something wrong. No one hit an eye. He was always rented by everyone around him and the public, “added Mia.
When Steel suggested that her allegations of aggression were composed, Mia replied: “I have never lied in this courtroom and I will never lie in this courtroom. All I said is true.”

Steel asked Mia if she had recorded combat videos “in a moment of rage”.
“Absolutely not. No, I would not have been allowed to film this. I spun everything he wanted me to film,” she said.
She added that if she had already filmed it in these moments, it would have been a “huge break in confidence, loyalty and confidentiality”.
Steel then asked Mia if she already talked to someone about the abuses she said that she had suffered by Combs while it happened.
“Do you have something where you wrote contemporary to a friend, family member, police officer, whoever, and said that was what’s going on, I am assaulted, reprimanded, anything?” Steel asked Mia.
“No, the only time I contacted help was very subtly to the people from the office, but not to reveal things that the others had not witnessed,” she replied.
Mia told court that “nobody hit an eye” when Combs was acting and that he was still rented by everyone in his circle.
“I was still constantly looking for his approval. He was my figure of authority, my only figure of authority,” she added.
When Steel asked MIA that Combs discovers private messages between her and Ventura, she accused Combres of stolen her phone “several times”.
“He has repeatedly stolen Cassie’s phone, he put follow-up devices on his car. I don’t know what he is capable of. I was terrified,” she said.
Mia said she was very close to Ventura, but said that she was “not allowed to tell her the truth about many things”.
“Whatever history told me, I had to defend this,” she said. “One of the worst parts was to be put in the middle and have to cover for Puff to Cass, which he forced me to do constantly.”
Steel asked Mia if she has already told Ventura that she should end things with combs.
“Not in the way I would have liked to be able to do it,” she said.
The former employee says that she was “shown” if Combs thought that she was not doing her job
The prosecutor Madison Smyser has traveled numerous publications on Mia’s social networks during the cross-examination.
MIA confirmed that the promotion of combat events and projects was part of her work.
When Smyser asked Mia what the combs would do if he thought she was not doing her job, she said: “I would be shouted, humiliated, made fun of and my work would be threatened.”
She also said that her Instagram publications for Combs’ birthday was part of her work and that if she had not made the message, she would be “in difficulty”.
Mia said that she didn’t feel like she was able to leave her work with combs.
“I would have been stripped of all credibility, would have lost-could not have found a job in the same industry as I wanted and would have lost everything I knew,” she said.
She told court that when she tried to leave her job, the chief of staff of Combs had told her to go back and also feared for her safety.
“I just knew his power and anger,” said Mia.
When Smyser asked MIA to speak to human resources, she said that a former employee had been dismissed after reporting the abuse of Combs about Ventura.
“Human resources have only punished me in accordance with me, also dismissed Kayla for having even discussed Cassie’s abuses. They would not have believed me and I would have been fired immediately,” Mia told court.
Smyser also asked Mia what she thought she was happening if she had revealed that Combs had sexually assaulted her.
“That I would not be believed. I would be destroyed, I would be mistreated, dismissed and somehow informed that I was a crazy person who invents everything,” replied Mia.
After Mia stopped working for Combs in 2017, she said that she was working for Madonna for eight months.
“M. Has Combs helped you get this work? ” Access requested.
“Absolutely not,” said Mia.
What Combs is on trials for
American prosecutors allege that for 20 years, behind the scenes, combits forced and abused women with the help of a network of partners who helped to silence the victims by blackmail and violence.
Combs faces an indictment which includes descriptions of “freak-off”, which are defined in the doc of the court as “elaborate sexual performances produced that the Combtes have arranged, directed, masturbated during and often recorded electronically”.
Many witnesses showed up to accuse combs of terrorizing people in silence by stifling, hitting them, kicking them and sliding them, according to the prosecutors. An accusation act alleys that the combs suspended someone from a balcony.
Although dozens of men and women have allegedly allegedly in prosecution, this trial will highlight the assertions of four women.

If he is convicted of the New York Court, he could incur prison for life.
