Sean "Diddy" Combs' making headlines, but not for his ongoing legal saga, instead, Hollywood clothing up for auction. Iconic costume the music mogul wore in the 2001 Oscar-winning film, Monster's Ball, going up for auction. The costume expects to fetch a respectable sum when bidding opens June 7.
Mia, former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, accused Diddy of allegedly sexually assaulting her multiple times while testifying under a pseudonym. Lengthy and at times contentious cross-examination by one of Combs' defense attorneys Brian Steel, took most of the day, but Mia remains composed on the stand as she denies allegations from Comb’s legal team, she fabricated instances of abuse. Steel cross examined Mia about social media posts she wrote praising her boss, Diddy, as well as texts showing her devastation when employment ended.
Mia said being in Combs’s circle was all she knew, 24 hours a day for eight years. As to why she would behave that way toward someone who allegedly abused her, Mia tells Steel to “speak with my therapist.” Mia describes Combs as a controlling boss who repeatedly assaulted her during her employment.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump wouldn’t rule out a pardon for Combs, when asked about the possibility Friday during a White House presser. Rapper 50 Cent weighs in, 50 and the disgraced music mogul have been in a longstanding feud, and the pairs drama has intensified since Diddy’s legal woos came to light.
Prosecutors were able to call one additional witness before jury was sent home: Sylvia Oken, a custodian for the Beverly Hills Hotel. Before leaving the stand, Oken describes two cleaning fees on Combs’s hotel account, including one for “oil damage.”
