Yet another bombshell has been revealed in P Diddy’s trial. His ex-assistant, who is testifying under the pseudonym Mia, has stated that while working for Shrek and Austin Powers actor Mike Myers as his personal assistant she was aware of Myers’ links with the CIA.

She testified that she ‘handled all unique requests’ for Myers, including setting up a private and confidential tour of the CIA. This was achieved by corresponding with Secret Service agents and government officials.

And this testimony turns out to be 100% true. Back in 2009, the actor really did take a tour of the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. During his tour of the building, he also visited the museum and had lunch with CIA officials.

Fans have already drawn comparisons between Myers’ activity and his infamous role as English spy Austin Powers, which he portrayed during the 1990s and Noughties. He featured in 1997’s International Man of Mystery, 1999’s The Spy Who Shagged Me and 2002’s Goldmember. 

One wrote: ‘So Austin Powers, the international man of mystery who loved shagging was not satire but an autobiography?’

Another posted: ‘What in the Austin Powers!!?’ While one joked: “Austin Powers was real.. I knew it!”

Diddy has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Myers is not the only celebrity that has been mentioned in the trial. Kid Cudi, Brad Pitt, Michael B Jordan and R Kelly have been referenced in various ways, as well as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Bruce Willis.

Some of these name drops came from testimony from Diddy’s former assistant Capricorn Clark and celebrity stylist Deonte Nash, who also testified alongside Mia. 

During her testimony was asked about Cassie Ventura’s talent. Ventura has accused Diddy of rape, blackmail, sexual degradation and physical abuse.

‘Why do you think she just had talent as opposed to being very talented?’ Diddy’s lawyer asked Clark. ‘Um, talented to me is Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey,’ she clarified. ‘Very talented is that level of performer, entertainer. Cassie was more of a studio artist.’

Clark described a studio artist as ‘a little bit more comfortable in the vocal booth to have a little bit of things equalised for you and, you know, engineered properly. Less of a live performer.’

Leonardo DiCaprio and Madonna were also mentioned, with Mia alleging that Diddy described the Gatsby actor as ‘that Titanic motherf***er’. After leaving her job, Mia worked for Madonna as an assistant. When asked about whether Madonna cared that she’d been blacklisted by Diddy, Mia responded: ‘Blacklisted? She didn’t care about that. Of course not’.

The celebrity name drops are extensive and at times surprising. Mick Jagger was also referenced, as Mia mentioned she was once propositioned by him. Prince was mentioned as well, as Mia testified that the singer’s security team had to intervene at a party he was throwing when Ventura and Diddy showed up at the party after being told not to attend. When they arrived, Diddy allegedly attacked Ventura.

As far as Bruce Willis’ name being mentioned Ventura referenced him in a text message she sent to Diddy about wanting to have more contact with his wider family, referencing Willis’ blended family as an example of how this could work. Willis’ divorce from Demi Moore didn’t create estrangement, they remained close and parented their three daughters together, while Willis’ children with second wife Emma Heming Willis also became part of the larger interconnected family.

‘As much as you think you’re Bruce Willis, you aren’t. He’s married, and before he was married, the family as a whole went on trips together or just him and his woman,’ a message from Ventura to Diddy from 2013 reads. 

Clark also loosely mentioned Kelis and Nas while testifying that Diddy took her to Central Park and threatened to kill her after he learned she had previously worked for former record executive Suge Knight. He is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter, which stemmed from a 2015 fatal hit-and-run that isn’t linked to Diddy’s case.

‘Did you ever walk in Central Park other than that one time with Mr. Combs?’ Diddy’s defence lawyer asked Clark during the cross-examination.

‘Earlier that day,” she replied. ‘He was giving me the run of the, you know, run of show, what the job would be like. And we walked from the east side of the park to the west side of the park, and we ran into Nas and Kelis in the middle of the park.’
Nash worked with Ventura on her 2013 mixtape RockaByeBaby, and confirmed in court that ‘no one’ got paid for their work on the project. He also alleged that Diddy threatened to not release Ventura’s mixtape.

‘He told her that one time if she keep — if she keeps having a smart-a – mouth, her little mixtape won’t be coming out,’ he testified.

The Diddy trial continues, along with – we assume – continued celebrity name drops.
