The legal fallout surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs is continuing to widen, but one of his longtime staffers is now asking the court to take her out of the case.
Kristina Khorram, who served as Combs’ longtime chief of staff, has filed a motion to dismiss claims brought against her by former Combs employee Phillip Pines. Pines previously accused Khorram of helping facilitate conduct tied to Combs’ alleged “freak-offs,” but Khorram is denying those allegations and arguing that the lawsuit does not provide enough factual basis to hold her liable.
According to court filings, Khorram claims Pines’ complaint fails to show that she knowingly participated in, directed, or benefited from any alleged sex-trafficking venture. Her legal team argues that the claims against her rely on broad conclusions rather than specific facts connecting her to the misconduct alleged against Combs.
Khorram is also pushing back against comparisons made by other accusers who have likened her role in Combs’ organization to that of Ghislaine Maxwell. In her filing, Khorram argues that those comparisons are unsupported and are being used to inflame the allegations against her rather than prove any actual involvement.
The motion further states that one of the main claims involving Khorram centers on an allegation that she told Pines not to discuss an incident where Combs allegedly kicked another individual. Khorram’s side argues that even if that allegation were accepted as true, it would not establish her liability for the broader accusations in the lawsuit.
Pines’ complaint paints a different picture. The former employee alleges that he was tasked with preparing hotel rooms for events described in the lawsuit as “freak-offs.” According to the complaint, those duties allegedly included arranging red lighting, stocking rooms with baby oil, towels, and sexual products, and later cleaning the rooms after the gatherings ended.
Pines also alleges that Combs and Khorram coerced him into sexual encounters with women while Combs watched. Khorram denies those claims and maintains that the complaint does not provide facts showing she took part in the alleged conduct.
Attorneys for Combs have also denied the allegations made in the lawsuit.
Khorram has not been criminally charged in connection with the claims. The allegations remain unproven, and the court has not yet ruled on her motion to dismiss.
