NEW YORK — Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused of sexually assaulting his former assistant at Manhattan federal court Thursday as the feds beef up their case against the disgraced rap mogul.

Mia, testifying under a pseudonym, formerly worked as a personal assistant for Combs. She said the hours could be untenable— with her longest shift, fueled by Adderall, lasting for five days — and that “Puff’s mood” determined the atmosphere.

Mia told prosecutor Madison Smyser that she had frequently been the target of Combs’ violence.

“It was chaotic. It was — it could be toxic. It could be exciting. Like, the highs were really high, and lows were really, really low,” Mia said.

“He’s thrown things at me. He’s thrown me against the wall. He’s thrown me into a pool. He’s thrown an ice bucket on my head. He slammed my arm into a door.”

After a long pause, Mia added, “He’s also sexually assaulted me,” noting it had happened more than once.

Mia is the second of three victims the jury is slated to hear from in the feds’ sweeping case against Combs. Combs’ ex, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, spent four days on the stand during the first week of testimony, describing violent beatings and being coerced into debasing sexual performances with male performers that Combs dubbed “freak-offs.”

A third woman, Jane, which is also a pseudonym, is yet to testify about allegedly being forced into disturbing sexual performances by Combs.

Combs, 55, is accused of operating a criminal enterprise to help facilitate his lifestyle from 2004 to 2024 by employing a network of staff who engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, bribery, obstruction of justice, kidnapping, and arson.

He’s pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transporting individuals for prostitution, and related offenses and could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted.
