<strong>early 2021<\/strong>, Mitchell began representing a plaintiff who alleged she was sexually assaulted by musician <strong>Tremaine Neverson (Trey Songz) <\/strong>during <strong>Sean &#8216;Diddy&#8217; Combs<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/trey-songz-sexual-abuse-lawsuit-diddy-nightclub-2021-12?op=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">New Year&#8217;s Eve celebrations<\/a> in Miami. While investigating the claim, Mitchell met with a potential witness, <strong>Mariah Thielen<\/strong>, over dinner. Thielen subsequently signed a sworn declaration for Neverson&#8217;s defense alleging Mitchell had offered her compensation to corroborate the assault claim. Mitchell denied it. A bar complaint for witness tampering followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Lies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When Neverson&#8217;s new defense counsel filed a <strong>Motion for Sanctions for Witness Tampering<\/strong> in <strong>February 2022<\/strong>, Mitchell responded within sixteen minutes \u2014 emailing the court&#8217;s judicial assistant to claim the matter had &#8220;already been reported and investigated by the Florida Bar where no action was taken.&#8221; It had not. The investigation was active.<br><br>She then took calls from <strong>TMZ <\/strong>and <strong>Billboard <\/strong>that same day, telling reporters she had already been cleared by the Florida Bar. One week later, the Bar sent her written confirmation that her investigation remained open. She never retracted her statements.<br><br>Mitchell had also told the Bar that Thielen drank heavily at dinner \u2014 two to three hard tequila cocktails \u2014 and was therefore an unreliable witness. Mitchell claimed she herself did not drink.<br>Then came the receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Receipt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>At a subsequent evidentiary hearing, opposing counsel introduced the dinner bill into evidence. It showed exactly two alcoholic beverages purchased \u2014 one for each woman. Thielen testified she was not intoxicated. <strong>The Florida Bar&#8217;s formal complaint found the receipt conclusively demonstrated Mitchell had made an affirmative misrepresentation to undermine the witness.<\/strong><br><br>The sanctions motion was ultimately denied by the trial court in February 2025, but the judge specifically noted the ruling <strong>&#8220;did not speak on behalf of the Florida Bar&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014<strong>leaving the ethical reckoning to the Supreme Court of Florida.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Report-of-Referee-202170465-3388706.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:490px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Report-of-Referee-202170465-3388706.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a011e075-a64f-4fcb-87a1-53f984c26304\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Report-of-Referee-202170465-3388706.pdf\">Report-of-Referee-202170465-3388706<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Report-of-Referee-202170465-3388706.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a011e075-a64f-4fcb-87a1-53f984c26304\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Outcome<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Florida Bar filed its formal complaint in July 2025. <strong>Mitchell entered a guilty plea by January 2026.<\/strong> The Supreme Court approved the consent judgment on March 12, 2026: a 75-day suspension, mandatory Ethics School and Professionalism Workshop, and $3,175.25 in disciplinary costs.<br><br>The underlying witness tampering allegation was dismissed.
