"Mia," a former assistant to Sean "Diddy" Combs who's testifying under a pseudonym in the music mogul's federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in NYC, took the stand again Friday morning.

The prosecution asked Mia about several harrowing incidents over the course of her employment with Diddy, including her time in development with Revolt Films, one of the mogul's Combs Enterprises companies.
