Combs' Steel: You made this and give it to Mr. Combs?
Mia: Yes.
Steel: What did you write at the top?
Mia: Puff, sometimes life goes by at catastrophic speed. I hope on this day, I hope you can sit back and consider - I made this book of articles from 1991 to now

Combs' Steel: Did you mean those words?
Mia: Yes. He'd said to me, I used to look at the world the way you do. But now that I've done everything... It was sad.
Steel: The man you say has ruined your life?
Mia: I can tell you what my therapist has said-

Combs' Steel: How could you do this?
Mia: It's called psychological abuse. No one did anything-
Steel: What could be more terrible-
AUSA: Objection!
Judge: Sustained.

Mia: There are textbooks out there. It's called an abusive relationship.
Combs' Steel: But you are not dating Mr. Combs.
Mia: Abusive relationships are not limited to that. There were no streaming documentaries about this. No one flinched at his behavior

Combs' Steel: Where is it that you confronted him and said, you have violated me sexually or otherwise, and he said, I need your help?
AUSA: Objection!
Judge: Overruled.
Mia: After St. Bart's I confronted him about his behavior. Not the other thing

Combs' Steel: You told Cassie she's a superstar and should get the money?
Mia: I don't remember that
Steel: Aren't you lying about Mr. Combs' misbehavior?
Mia: I have not lied to anyone at all.
Steel: Isn't it true it did not happen as many times as you just said?

Mia: Everything I said in this courtroom is true.
Combs' Steel: Why did you make him the scrapbook?
Mia: You could talk to an expert about sexual assault.
Steel: Could we hand the scrapbook to the jurors?
Judge: Take a brief look for a couple minutes.

More context and details:

Mia said there was a difference between her “logic brain” and her “trauma brain.”

“Why did you need someone else saying that it was wrong of Mr. Combs to make you feel like he would kill you?” defense attorney Brian Steel asked her.

Mia responded that she has a “logic brain” and a “trauma brain” — and the “trauma brain” often wins.

“Eventually it becomes normalized, and you’re just trying to get back to the good. You make excuses for people. I’m a people pleaser. I’m an empath. I’m a rule follower,” she testified.

“I just wanted to do my best and make everybody happy all the time. So I tend to take a lot more than normal people.

I don’t know how to explain that. I don’t know if I should apologize for that. I forgive people all the time for things,” she said.

[Scrapbook is passed around]
Combs' Steel: Mia, let me ask you - how did you make this scrapbook?
Mia: I researched and reached out for archives.
Steel: Archives in a library?
Mia: In his company.
Steel: But the you did all the work?
Mia: I did

Combs' Steel: Did you make Mr. Combs a birthday video?
Mia: I put one together, I asked people if they wanted to send in a video.
Steel: I want to ask you about, last four digits starts reading them out
AUSA: Objection!

Judge: Just ask her if she recognizes her number
Mia: I do.
Combs' Steel: Let's read these messages, I'll be KK.
Mia: My life is over. I might as well -
Steel as KK: Call me back or I'm calling your parents.
Mia: F*** I'm so sorry, I'm with Laura Gomez

Combs' Steel, as KK: I'm not going to, I'm not going to say it, F-ing tell you, you are
Mia: The pain hurts so f***ing bad.
Steel: Who is Laura Gomez?
Mia: She was in HR at Combs Enterprises.
Steel: You start, I'm going to k*ll myself, my life is over
A: Yes

Combs' Steel: You could have quit
Mia: I didn't see it that way.
Steel: Why?
Mia: There's a pretty long psychological explanation. I was around them 24 hours a day. This is all I knew.
Steel: Why weren't you happy to be severed? Isn't this great?
A: Not then.

All for nought

Combs' Steel: Your Honor
Judge: We'll let the jury go for the weekend. Don't read anything about the case. Have you notification turned off.
All rise for the jury!
Judge: Mia, we'll see you Monday.
[Mia leaves]

AUSA: What is the authenticity of this last exhibit?
Defense: We got it from the Government.
AUSA: But it's in different format, with a unknown number.
Judge: Mr. Steel suggested that the green boxes are Ms. Khorram. But there's an unknown person.
Defense: It's KK

Defense: We spoke with Ms. Khorram's counsel. We had to put it into another format, theirs crashes our computer.
Judge: Mia said that number was Ms. Khorram. You can explore on re-direct.

Combs' Agnifilo: Mia's affected yesterday, maybe it was real, may it was not. We have a right-
Judge: If you're using the exhibit as impeachment, tell me. I can't read your mind.
Agnifilo: We're trying to be courteous and move the trial along but

Combs' Agnfilo: She says she has PTSD.
AUSA: We'd have 403 objection too.
Agnifilo: We can write a letter on this over the weekend.
Judge: It's a 20 second happy birthday video. For the good of the order, maybe the parties can come up with an order.

AUSA: Next witnesses are Enrique Santos, then Eddie Garcia who I understand will invoke the Fifth Amendment, we can immunize at 8:55 am. Then a hotel custodian ... We'll email a list.

AUSA: They have applied for Rule 17 subpoenas, we want to opposed by Sunday night. Ms. Ventura's counsel is out of the country.
[So, Sunday into the docket?]
Combs' Agnifilo: If he runs out of minutes, can he get more?
Judge: I can order relief if warranted

Judge: Adjourned
