Diddy‘s former assistant “Mia” says she loves Cassie like a sister, but she didn’t tell her about the mogul’s alleged abuse because she says Diddy closely monitored their communications … and he’d even put tracking devices on Cassie’s car.
Mia took the stand for a third day of testimony Monday … and, Diddy’s defense attorney Brian Steel asked her why she wouldn’t tell Cassie about Diddy allegedly raping her.
She responded by claiming Diddy could find out what she told Cassie … saying he routinely took her and Cassie’s phones — presumably to search through them. He would even go so far as to put tracking devices on Cassie’s car, with Mia telling the court … “I’m not sure what he’s capable of. I was terrified.”
Mia testified against Diddy Thursday and Friday last week … detailing Diddy’s alleged treatment toward her while she worked as his assistant — including the times she claims he sexually assaulted her.
Mia became emotional on the stand at times, breaking down in tears while testifying that Diddy forced her to perform oral sex on him during one incident.
While she admitted she talked about some of Diddy’s alleged violent outbursts near the end of her employment with himMia says she never planned on discussing the sexual assaults publicly … claiming she planned to take them to her grave.
Though Monday we learned she ended up telling prosecutors and federal investigators when they came to her about the Diddy case. Steel claims the conversation happened in June 2024, and Mia says she doesn’t remember the exact date but “[she does] remember that horrible conversation.”
Mia’s testimony has also touched on major celebrities … including R. Kelly — who she mentioned in a text to Diddy regarding a dream she had.

Diddy Trial: Expert analysis on ‘Mia’s’ Testimony and Its Implications
A Time.news Exclusive interview with Legal Analyst Dr. Evelyn Reed
The Diddy trial continues to unfold, revealing disturbing allegations and raising serious questions about power dynamics and control within the entertainment industry. One of the most compelling pieces of evidence so far comes from the testimony of Diddy’s former assistant, “Mia,” who detailed why she kept alleged abuse secret from Cassie. To understand the legal and social implications of this testimony,Time.news spoke with Dr. Evelyn Reed, a renowned legal analyst specializing in cases of abuse and power dynamics.
Q&A with Dr. Evelyn Reed
Time.news: Dr. Reed, thank you for joining us. Mia’s testimony centers around her fear of Diddy finding out if she confided in Cassie about the alleged abuse. She claimed Diddy monitored communications and even placed tracking devices on Cassie’s car. How notable is this in the context of the trial?
Dr. Evelyn Reed: This is critically significant. Mia’s fear speaks volumes about the level of control Diddy allegedly exerted. The testimony that he monitored interaction and used tracking devices paints a picture of an surroundings where victims felt they had no safe space to disclose abuse. This kind of alleged surveillance is coercive control, a pattern of behavior designed to isolate and dominate another person. Legal teams will try to prove “coercive control”, and often this is a key element in proving abuse.
Time.news: Mia also mentioned that Diddy routinely took her and Cassie’s phones. What does that suggest about his methods of control?
Dr. Evelyn Reed: Taking someone’s phone is a significant violation of privacy and autonomy. It allows the alleged abuser to monitor communications, isolate the victim from their support network, and instill constant fear of discovery.It’s a tactic that makes it incredibly arduous for victims to seek help and reinforces the abuser’s power.
Time.news: The defense questioned why Mia didn’t tell Cassie about the alleged rape. How does the dynamic Mia described factor into this question?
dr. Evelyn Reed: It’s essential to understand that victims of abuse operate under immense pressure and fear. The defense’s question, while seemingly logical, fails to account for the insidious nature of coercive control. Mia’s testimony suggests a well-founded fear that any communication could be intercepted, putting both her and Cassie at risk. The legal teams will try to determine whose communications was intercepted and for what purpose. This kind of testimony is often extremely complicated.
Time.news: Mia testified that she initially planned to take the allegations “to her grave.” What changes a victim’s mind in such cases?
Dr. Evelyn Reed: Several factors can influence a victim’s decision to come forward. Often,it’s prompted by a sense of obligation to protect others,seeing other victims speak out,or realizing that staying silent perpetuates the cycle of abuse and helps the abuser control more people. Federal investigations can sometimes trigger a series of events,where one witness reveals facts leading to the revelation of key witness and evidence. It’s also important to acknowledge the emotional toll; the burden of keeping such secrets can become unbearable.
Time.news: Mia’s testimony also referenced R. Kelly. How do these types of high-profile cases connect?
Dr. evelyn Reed: They highlight the systemic nature of abuse within the entertainment industry and the importance of breaking the silence. High-profile cases raise awareness, create a space for other victims to come forward, and challenge the culture of silence that allows abuse to thrive.
Time.news: What advice would you give to someone who suspects a friend or family member is in a similar situation, facing this degree of alleged oppression?
Dr. Evelyn Reed: 1. Offer a Safe space: Let them know you’re there to listen without judgment.2. Validate Their Feelings: Acknowledge the difficulty of their situation and the courage it takes to speak up. 3. Resource Sharing: Have information available about domestic violence hotlines, legal aid, and counseling services. 4. Don’t Pressure: Respect their decision to come forward at their own pace. 5. Confidentiality: Be aware of protecting any information shared, as the victim is frequently enough vulnerable. 6. Safety First: Help them develop a safety plan.7. Documentation can Help: encourage victims to document any incidents, as any level of detail can help. Remember, empowering them to make their own choices is crucial.
Time.news: Dr. Reed, thank you for your insightful perspective and guidance. Your expertise sheds light on the complexities of the Diddy trial and the broader issue of abuse and control.
