Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution relating to ex partners Cassie Ventura and an anonymous woman known as Jane after a New York trial
Staff have spoken out about what it was really like to work for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after he was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution. The music mogul has been denied bail and his sentencing will take place in October.
This week, he was found not guilty of racketeering and of sex trafficking former girlfriend Cassie Ventura and an anonymous woman referred to as ‘Jane.’ As the verdict, decided by eight men and four women, acquitted him of the most serious counts, he dropped to the floor.
During the two-month trial, the court heard how Combs flew people around the country, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act.
Former staff members appeared as witnesses during the trial as they detailed what they saw and how they would prepare for drug-fuelled sex encounters, which had been known as ‘Freak -Offs.’ The BBC has spoken to ex staff about their time working for Combs, as the Mirror rounds up the bombshells…
Staff pressures
Combs allegedly kept a tight control of his inner circle at his £36m Miami mansion, with staff claiming he was intense, demanding and volatile. He had a high turnover of staff, with more than 20 different house managers joining and leaving in just two years, a former estate manager told the BBC.
In a voice note sent to an employee WhatsApp group in 2020, Combs allegedly said: “I’m not about to be transparent with y’all. There’s some dark places y’all (EXPLETIVE) don’t want to go. Stay where you’re at.”
Senior executive assistant Phil Pines claimed Combs did not speak to him for 30 days when he took on the job. He worked for the music mogul from 2019 to 2021 and said it was “like an initiation”.
Another assistant claimed: “He was a very ill man with different behaviors, sometimes very aggressive, sometimes very sweet.” Staff have shared how Combs would often play mind games with his staff.
The assistant known as ‘Ethan’, which is not his real name, said one time Combs threw his ring into the Atlantic Ocean and told him to go in the water and get it. He said he jumped in to rescue him, despite being at a formal event.
Another incident saw Pines allegedly called to Combs’ residence after midnight to fetch a TV remote from under the bed while he was with a female guest. “See? He is loyal and now he can go back home,” Combs allegedly told the woman.
Wild King Nights demands
In a text exchange seen by the BBC, chief of staff Kristina Khorram told Pines a bag needed to be ready in two hours for a ‘Wild King Night’. She asked for a “drop off” of seven bottles of baby oil and seven bottles of Astroglide lubricant alongside iced vanilla lattes.
On September 13, 2021 Khorram allegedly text Pines: “Wild king hotel night tonight. Prep bag – you will be going to set up a hotel in like next 2hrs.”
And another alleged text message, sent on December 28, 2019, reads: “PD said he’s going to need emergency clean up at the hotel once they leave and come to the house.
“Also he is starving – there is set aside chicken and shrimp creole and rice in the fridge for him.”
In another alleged message, sent in November 2021, Khorram text Pines: “Hey! PD still in hotel, but when you get to Mapleton he asked if you could bring him stain remover (for a chair and couch) and black trash bags. And baking soda too he said. And a hairdryer lol.”
Gucci Bag with drugs and lubricant
Staff have claimed Combs’ drugs would travel with him when they went internationally. They were allegedly concealed in a safe onboard his £45m private jet.
“Even if it was for a day trip, if he was going on the yacht for four hours, take all that stuff with you because he might use it,” Pines told the publication. He claimed mushrooms, ketamine and ecstasy were kept in a Gucci bag alongside baby oil, lubricant and red lights.
The Mirror has contacted Combs’ representatives for comment.
