Diddy was ‘so high’ during Chelsea Handler appearance assistant nearly walked on stage to yank him off: Live trial updates

The mogul’s ex-assistant Mia told the court on Thursday that Diddy would sometimes get high at ‘inappropriate’ times, including board meetings and one chaotic Chelsea Lately appearance.

‘Like one time was a board meeting, one time was going to the Chelsea Handler show,’ she told the jury.

‘There were just a few times where I was like “Oh, gosh when am I going to have to pull him to the side and say you look a little crazy at the moment.”‘

Mia did not specify when exactly the interview with Handler took place, but Diddy’s 2010 appearance on the E! show made headlines for his bizarre behavior.

Chelsea told the audience Diddy was an hour late before the rapper offered to ‘pull out his shlong’ when the comedianne kept jokingly referring to him as ‘girl.’

At the time, Vulture reported Diddy appeared drunk.

From sworn testimony to video evidence and the rapper’s every subtle move, our team of journalists take you inside the courtroom of the world’s biggest celebrity case.

Daily Mail has been following Diddy’s downfall from the very beginning. Join us as we hear from experts involved in the case, and members of the rapper’s inside circle.

Mia said on Thursday that sometime in 2009 or 2010, she woke up in Diddy’s Los Angeles home and he was on top of her.

‘I remember it was sort of like him telling me, shhh, be quiet and using one hand to get his pants off.’

Mia said the mogul then raped her.

‘I just froze, I didn’t react,’ she said as she cried, adding she felt ‘terrified and confused and ashamed and scared.’

When asked how long the assault lasted, Mia replied: ‘It was quick but it felt like forever.’

Diddy’s alleged victim said on Friday that she stopped working for the mogul in 2016 after he blocked one of the projects she was working on at Revolt.

Mia hired a lawyer to negotiate a severance package, which reportedly enraged Diddy.

Diddy’s right-hand woman Kristina Khorram then told her he ‘couldn’t believe she had stabbed him in the back.’

Mia’s lawyers then made a $10million offer.

She said she felt bad about speaking to the lawyers ‘Because I was breaking this idea of confidentiality and I felt like I was betraying [Diddy], like I was telling the secrets. I felt really wrong and shameful for telling on him.’

Mia sais she told the lawyers about incidents of violence but not the alleged sexual assaults. ‘I was going to die with that,’ she said about the alleged rapes.

When asked if she would return the money if it means Diddy never did ‘all the things we’ve talked about,’ Mia replied: ‘Absolutely, in a second.’

After Mia was unexpectedly fired by Combs, she was advised by his executives to negotiate severance and bonuses with an employment attorney which took nine months of going back and forth.

Although employment lawyers proposed a $10million settlement, Mia ended up receiving $400,000.

She told lawyers of instances of violence against her employment history with him during mediation, but did not say anything about the sexual assaults she experienced. ‘I was going to die with that,’ she said.

‘I felt really wrong and shameful for telling on him.’

Diddy’s lawyers asked the judge for a mistrial on Wednesday after arguing the prosecution made an unacceptable suggestion in front of the jury.

The defense said it was ‘outrageous’ when prosecutors appeared to suggest the mogul had destroyed fingerprints taken from Kid Cudi’s house after the January, 2012 bombing of his car.

Prosecutors had asked LAFD official Lance Jimenez about the fingerprints, and he said the evidence was destroyed in August 2012.

Jimenez said ‘somebody within LAPD’ authorized the destruction of the evidence.

This is when Diddy’s team objected.

‘They know what they were doing,’ the defense said of prosecutors.

‘They were suggesting that someone in this courtroom has something to do with improper and suspicious destruction of these fingerprint cards and that’s outrageous.’

The attorneys added: ‘The only proper remedy to cure the outrageous prejudice is a mistrial.’

However, the defense’s motion for a mistrial was denied.

The mogul’s ex-employee has been mentioned about a dozen times by various witnesses who have taken the stand in the trial, and prosecutors claim she was kidnapped twice by Diddy or his bodyguards.

Mia told the court on Friday about an incident where she was in South Africa to accompany Cassie – on Diddy’s orders.

She said Diddy was enraged because he could not get in touch in with Cassie, who had seen footage of him out with another woman, Gia, in Miami.

Diddy texted Mia: ‘If you don’t call me now, f**k it all. And Imma tell everything. And don’t ever speak to me again. You have 2 min. F**k her (Cassie). Call my house now or never speak to me again. F**k abc and all lawyers. Let’s go to war.’

Mia told the court he was threatening to ‘tell Cass about the sexual assaults, but framed differently, as though it was my fault or that I had a part in it.

She also said the mogul was threatening to cut down a show she had pitched to ABC.

Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey said this week they are running ahead of schedule and even looking to cut some witnesses.

The prosecution is hoping to rest their case by the second week of June, but noted it may continue into the following week.

Prosecutors on Thursday asked the court to cut the witness box from the live feed shown in the court’s overflow room when Mia takes the stand.

The judge declined the request, saying there was not enough space and the overflow room ‘is an extension of this room.’

However, the judge ruled that no sketches be made of Mia when she’s testifying and that there are no cellphones to document her appearance in any way.

Mia’s lawyer, Michael Ferrara, said his client will tell about the worst things ever to happen to her.

Those things, he said, she otherwise would have taken ‘to her grave.’ He said she will want emotional support during her testimony.

Through her horrific tenure as Combs’ employee, Mia said how she would tell Diddy she loved him even after the sexual assaults started happening.

‘Oh yeah, that’s how we talked to each other,’ she said.

‘When the dynamic would switch to the best fiend dynamic you’re desperate to keep it they’re because you’re safe.’

Mia returned to court on Friday in all white to take the stand against her former boss Diddy.

She testified that there were highs and lows when working for the rapper, but Combs’ sexual assault against her were the ‘lowest.’

Diddy employees referred to themselves as family, explaining ‘that’s what I was surrounded with all the time and we went through some horrible times and great times together. That’s how we all referred to each other as.’

On Friday morning in court, Diddy lawyers argued to extend their time to confer with the mogul in person as the case continues.

‘[The] access you have received is much, much greater than defendants in other cases,’ Judge Subramanian told the defense.

‘Instead of ordering something that may be infeasible, I need to speak to the parties and (find a solution that) makes sense.’

Diddy’s former assistant and alleged victim Mia will continue testifying for the prosecution on Friday.

After she is cross-examined, the state is expected to call radio personality Enrique Santos.

Santos is the President and Chief Creative Officer of iHeart Latino and host of several radio shows.

His daily program, ‘The Enrique Santos Morning Show,’ airs live from iHeart’s Miami station, and his weekend show ‘On The Move with Enrique Santos’ airs throughout the country.

Santos also serves as a Reserve Police Officer for the City of Miami Police Department, according to his LinkedIn profile.

In court on Thursday, Mia shared grim details of an instance when Diddy made her wake everybody up in his Los Angeles home around 3am, but he got ‘aggressive’ with her when she tried to go to her room to change her tampon.

‘I started to walk down to my room because we’d been out since right in the morning and barely got a break and I was on my period and needed to change my tampon immediately,’ she said.

‘He was pissed. (He said) when I told you to go, go now, don’t go to your f****** room yet. I tried to say something and it made him more aggressive and louder and going on a really humiliating rant in front of everybody.

‘After it went on for so long there was literally blood dripping down my leg and said I just have to change my tampon.’

‘He had a bowl of spaghetti in his hand and threw it at me aggressively and started cursing me, get the f*** out of this house and he chased me outside.’

She described how the bowl narrowly missed her and she ran out of the house barefoot and hid in a bush.

The disgraced music mogul showed no reaction in court on Thursday as his ex-assisant Mia emotionally told the court thart he sexually assaulted her several times.

Diddy continued passing notes to his lawyers as Mia spoke from the stand, often in tears.

After Diddy’s ‘freak off’ hotel nights with Cassie, Mia testified that assistants would have to ‘sweep’ hotel rooms to clean up the mess he left behind ‘wherever he was.’

This was so ‘a housekeper couldn’t take and run to TMZ and expose any of his private business.’

Mia alleged the hotel rooms were a ‘nightmare’ to clean.

‘They were destroyed, really messy,’ she described.

‘I saw a lot of candlewax that was impossible to get out, lots of wet towels, I’ve seen broken glass, water all over the floor, sometimes blood, oil all over furniture and walls and things.’

Diddy’s ex-assistant Capricorn Clark told the court on Tuesday she once heard the mogul discussing weapons as he spoke of his rivalry against rapper 50 Cent.

She said she and Diddy were leaving a press event at MTV when the mogul told an executive he was having issues with 50 Cent.

Diddy reportedly said, ‘I don’t lie the back and forth, I don’t like that. I like guns.’

Diddy has frequently dispelled any rumors of a feud between the legends, but Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, has been slamming his nemesis publicly for years.

While he appeared to enter the courthouse, Gene stopped in his tracks as a man off-camera shouted at him: ‘Hey G, I talked to Randy Pittman last night, a white guy, who said in 2004, you was at a party with P. Diddy, and you held him down with two minor kids.

‘I did an interview with him on my YouTube last night. What do you have to say about that Gene?,’ he added in the video posted on TikTok.

Gene seemingly looked toward the man as he shouted accusations at him while a woman got close to him and shoved a phone in his face, and a man snapped pictures of him with a camera.

Death Row records founder Suge Knight has urged Diddy to take the stand in his trial so he can ‘humanize’ himself.

‘I feel if he do tell his truth, he really would walk,’ Knight told CNN from prison as he serves a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter.

‘If Puffy goes up there and says, “Hey … I did all the drugs, I wasn’t in control of my life at the time, or myself’ – he can humanize his old self and the jury might give him a shot.”‘

Knight added: ‘But if they keep him sitting down, it’s like he’s scared to face the music… He should just have his faith in God, put up his pants and go up there and tell his truth.’

It’s not clear whether Diddy will take the stand in his trial – he will be able to decide if he wants to up until the last minute, but his lawyers will most likely advise him not to do so.
