| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious and it is day 13 in southern Manhattan for Sean Combs' federal sex trafficking trial. |
| 0:10.0 | And today really pulled back the curtain on what it was like to work for Diddy because one of his former assistants was back up on the stand. |
| 0:17.0 | And in a word, I think we can sum it up by saying brutal. But Diddy's lawyers |
| 0:22.3 | took most of the day to drive home the point, if it was so, so bad, why did you stay? Why would |
| 0:28.5 | you remain such a fan of puff? Why did you tell him that you loved him? This witness has been |
| 0:35.9 | testifying under the pseudonym of Mia because prosecutors |
| 0:39.6 | say, Sean Combs raped her and more than once. So buckle up because what you're about to hear |
| 0:46.0 | is as disturbing as it is revealing. This morning started with Mia, continuing her direct testimony. |
| 0:53.5 | And Mia told the court that |
| 0:54.8 | at one point she considered her co-workers, her family. Mia even said she dated Diddy's |

| 1:29.6 | Next, the prosecutor walked the jury through an infamous trip to Cape Town South Africa in October of 2015. |
| 1:35.7 | That is when Cassie discovered that Diddy had another main girlfriend named Gina. |
| 1:43.6 | Mia said that Cassie immediately cut off communication with Diddy and that once again, Mia found herself stuck in the middle. |
| 1:50.6 | She said that Diddy, through his staff, tried to reach Cassie over and over and over again. |
| 1:55.2 | Mia said she became the messenger, the go-between, the human buffer. |
| 2:05.8 | She told the jury her phone was blowing up, calls, texts, WhatsApp messages day and night. The jury was shown one of those exchanges where Mia told Diddy's chief of staff, Christina KK. Corum, that Cape Town was |
| 2:12.7 | nine hours ahead and that she could not handle the stress of all the missed calls. |
