The cross-examination of Diddy’s former assistant has ended, with the woman using the pseudonym ‘Mia’ being asked about positive social media posts and messages she sent about Diddy.

Last week, ‘Mia’ told the court she was sexually assaulted and raped by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Plus, Beverley Hills hotel staff member Sylvia Oken has testified about the oil damage and deep cleaning of rooms needed after Diddy’s stays.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to CBS News national correspondent Jerika Duncan about the day in court.

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.

The Diddy on Trial podcast is here to investigate the rumours, confront the theories, and give you the answers that you need.

We also want YOU to be part of the conversation. Have you any questions about the case? Heard a theory that doesn’t sit right with you? Get in touch now via WhatsApp: 0330 123 555 1.
