A former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym Mia, recounted an incident at a 2010 Prince party where Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegedly attacked Cassie Ventura. The incident occurred after an award show, with Ventura and a friend having initially debated whether to attend the party.
Mia testified that after Combs arrived, Ventura and she attempted to flee, but Combs caught Ventura and allegedly assaulted her before Prince's security intervened. Mia stated she then left and stayed at a different hotel.
Mia further testified that the next day, she was suspended without pay for alleged insubordination, with no mention of the previous night's events.
Just before court took a break, the former assistant testifying in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking trial recounted an incident at a 2010 party hosted by Prince, in which the music legend’s security had to intervene when Combs attacked Cassie Ventura.
The ex-employee, who is testifying under the pseudonym Mia, said it was the night after an award show. Ventura and another friend previously testified this was around the Emmy awards that year.
Combs told Mia to stay with Ventura at a hotel to keep her company, Mia testified, as the music mogul had told Ventura he would be with his kids.
A friend called and told Mia and Ventura about the party at Prince’s house.
“Cass and I debated like little kids if we should sneak out of the house for probably what felt like forever,” Mia said.They ultimately went to the party and were having fun dancing and watching Prince perform, Mia testified.
Then Combs arrived. Mia recalled seeing his bucket hat and the two locking eyes.
Mia and Ventura took off running out of the house, but “Puff caught Cass,” the former assistant testified, using another nickname for Combs.
“He caught up to her and had her on the ground,” Mia said. “He started attacking her, but Prince’s security swiftly intervened.”Mia left and spent the night at a different hotel, she testified.
The ex-employee testified that the next day, the head of human resources told her Combs was suspending her without pay for being “insubordinate.” She said the HR employee did not mention anything about Combs’ behavior the night before.
