Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with another claim from a former employee who alleges he was forced into sex acts at his private parties. Phillip Pines, who worked as senior executive assistant to Combs, claims that between 2019 and 2021, the music executive pressured him into having sex with a woman and organized parties where he engaged in sex, drugs, and alcohol.
Pines also alleges that Combs exposed a celebrity guest to COVID-19 at his 51st birthday party and witnessed violent behavior, including being kicked by a guest in Miami. The former employee claims that his duties included arranging for illicit substances, cleaning up after parties, and silencing guests who spoke out about the events.
Combs is currently detained in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan detention center as he faces federal racketeering and sex-trafficking charges. His lawyers argue that he has never committed sexual assault or sex trafficking, but a judge has deemed him a “serious risk” of witness tampering.
In a statement to Variety, Combs’ representatives maintained that the musician has never engaged in non-consensual sex acts and is confident he will prevail in court despite multiple lawsuits filed against him.
