Defense cross examination of 'Mia' to continue next week
In December 2016, when "Mia" was informed Sean Combs wanted to dissolve his Revolt Films and that her employment would end, she texted Combs' chief of staff, Kristina "KK" Khorram, saying "I'm going to kill myself. My life is over."
Frantic messages from Khorram that were read in court followed, including, "You can't make a statement and then not answer your phone."
Eventually, "Mia" responded over text: "I can't sleep and I'm not ok. I don't understand how to make this pain go away. It hurts so f------ bad."
Defense attorney Brian Steel asked, "Isn't this great? You're away from your abuser?"
Mia testified, "In hindsight fantastic, but at the time the worst thing ever."
She told the court working for Combs represented "the only world I knew for 24 hours a day for 8 years. It's like dog years. That's all I knew. So, it was very overwhelmingly horrific."
She testified she felt it "being ripped away without explanation."
Steel's cross-examination will resume Monday. Once "Mia's" testimony is over, the next witness is expected to be radio and podcast personality Enrique Santos.
Three weeks of testimony from 21 witnesses in the trial against Combs has concluded.
