Sean “Diddy” Combs’s legal team is scrambling to stop the prosecution’s request to allow his former assistant to deliver a victim impact statement at his sentencing hearing on Friday.
The woman, identified only as “Mia” in court, testified about what it was like to work for the disgraced music mogul during his RICO trial.
According to Diddy and his legal team, Mia is “not a victim of anything,” and they also slammed her as a “liar.”
“Moreover, that she is so eager to return to court, when she plainly does not have to, and is not even entitled to, puts her proffered fear of testifying at trial into clear relief. This was a show for her,” attorney Marc Agnifilo said.
Mia, who once worked as a personal assistant to fashion designer Georgina Chapman and actor Mike Myers, began working for Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2009, when she was about 25 years old.
Taking the stand this week, she told jurors that Combs sexually assaulted her four times between 2009 and 2017, including at his 40th birthday party at New York’s Plaza Hotel and aboard his private jet.
Diddy denies her allegations.
