Diddy’s ex-assistant tells court she ‘hasn't lied to anyone at all’

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ former employee, who has given evidence under the pseudonym ‘Mia’, has been questioned by Diddy’s defence lawyer.

In court on Thursday, ‘Mia’ told the court she had been raped and sexually assaulted by Diddy.

Today, defence lawyer Brian Steel suggested ‘Mia’ had made up sexual assault allegations. He questioned her about a scrapbook she had made for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs birthday, as well as videos and multiple Instagram posts she had made, which all painted Diddy in a glowing light.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to BBC New York correspondent Nada Tawfik about the day in court, as week three of the trial ends.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.
