'Mia' alleges Combs raped her: 'I couldn't tell him no about anything'
In hushed tones, with her head down and through frequent sobs and tears, "Mia" testified that Sean Combs allegedly raped her inside his home on Beverly Grove Drive in Los Angeles.
According to her testimony, she was asleep in her room on the bottom bunk - she previously testified Combs did not allow her to lock her door - when she remembered waking to "the weight of a person on top of me," allegedly Combs.
"Mia" told the court that she remembered Combs "telling me 'shh'" and "using one hand to get his pants off."
Haltingly, "Mia" told the court that Combs "put himself inside me." She then broke down in sobs.
"Mia" testified, "I just froze. I didn't react."
"Mia" told the jury that she felt "terrified and confused and ashamed and scared."
Another time, "Mia" testified, she was packing things in a bedroom closet when Combs entered.
"I looked up and he was standing right in front of my face," "Mia" testified. Barely audible, "Mia" continued in her testimony, telling the court that Combs "had his penis out, grabbed my head and put it in there."
Smyser asked, "Did he put his penis in your mouth?"
"Yes," "Mia" told the court.
"How did you feel?" Smyser asked.
"Like trash. Scared and ashamed," "Mia" testified.
"Did you want to give Mr. Combs oral sex?" Smyser asked.
"No," "Mia" told the court.
"Mia" took rapid breaths between words and phrases, testifying that she "always" worried about being physically hurt or having her reputation tarnished by Combs.
"I didn't want to die or get hurt," "Mia" testified. She told the court she also worried Combs would "fire me and twist the story into making me look like a threat."
Asked why she did not tell Combs "no," "Mia" testified, "I couldn't tell him no about a sandwich. I couldn't tell him no about anything."
"Mia" told the court that she did "absolutely not" want to be talking about the sexual assaults she alleged Sean Combs committed against her, but that "I have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and also I have a moral obligation because when you're scared into silence, these things continue to happen to others."
"Mia" told the court that the alleged sexual assaults by Combs were "the most traumatizing, worst thing that has ever happened to me."
Court has adjourned for the day. Testimony by "Mia" will continue Friday.
