Mia is a pseudonym. Mia held two positions with Combs, one as a personal assistant and the other was director of development and acquisitions for Revolt Films. 

Mia testified that working for Combs had been chaotic and toxic. He was violent to Mia. Mia claims that Mr. Combs had thrown things at her. Thrown her into a pool, threw an ice bucket on her head. He slammed her arm into a door, and he also sexually assaulted her more than once. 

Prior to working for Mr. Combs, Mia worked for Georgina Chapman, the owner and designer of Marchesa. Mia’s next job was personal assistant for the comedian Mike Meyers. 

In 2009, Mia started working for Mr. Combs until 2017. When she was interviewed, Mr. Combs opened the door on his phone and was wearing his underwear. 

When Mia worked for Mike Meyers, she worked from 10am to 6pm Monday thru Friday. Sometimes on Saturday for a few hours. Mia thought she would be working a few hours more, plus rotating weekends as a personal assistant to Mr. Combs. 

Her base salary was supposed to be $55,000, but it turned out to be $50,000.

Mia was told she was expected to work forty hours weekly. After forty hours she was to be paid overtime. There were many people vying for the position, so there was a two-week trial. If she could handle it the job would be hers. 

Mia worked almost twenty-four hours her first day of the personal assistant trial. 

The longest time Mia went without sleep working for Mr. Combs was five days. Working for Mr. Combs was tumultuous, and she was always running around doing what had to be done. Her ADHD medication helped her to stay awake.

Mia basically physically broke down, had loss of hearing, it felt like she was underwater. Her equilibrium was off, blurred vision and seeing lights that weren’t there. She started crying hysterically and Mr. Combs told her she could go to sleep. 

Mia had to crack Mr. Combs’ knuckles. She had to ask permission to leave Mr. Combs home when she had to stay there. 

Even if he was asleep, she couldn’t leave or lock the bedroom door. Mr. Combs allegedly said, “this is my house no one is allowed to lock my doors.” Security could lock their bedroom doors.

In 2013, after working on film projects for about 3 years, Mr. Combs finally officially gave Mia the title of director of film development and acquisitions. The base salary was $70,000 and within three years it increased to $100,000, but she was still performing personal assistant duties, as well. 

Mia did not receive the bonuses she was promised per project. 

Mia didn’t stop working from Mr. Combs’ home until the end of 2016. 

Mia and Cassie became best friends, like sisters. Mia alleged Mr. Combs and Cassie’s relationship was a cycle of highs and lows, unequal, toxic, and abusive towards Cassie.

Mia was around the couple a lot. Mr. Combs controlled everything with Cassie’s career. Mia told the jury that Mr. Combs was in charge of all Cassie’s possessions, everything was in the company’s name. 

Mia saw when he would take her cars, jewelry, and support when he couldn’t get her on the phone or was angry.

Mia had to do everything Mr. Combs told her to. Cassie and her would be punished if they did something Mr. Combs did approve of them doing. It was terrifying.
