Overview
- Phillip Pines filed a civil suit in December 2024 accusing Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Kristina Khorram and related companies of sexual battery, sex trafficking, gender violence and workplace claims tied to events from 2019–2021.
- Pines' complaint says his job included preparing hotel rooms for so‑called 'freakoffs' by setting red lights and stocking baby oil, towels and sex devices and alleges he was coerced into sex while Combs watched.
- Khorram filed court papers asking the judge to dismiss the claims against her on the ground that the complaint does not allege facts showing she knowingly participated in or benefited from any trafficking venture.
- Wednesday filings, reported by multiple outlets, show Khorram disputes comparisons to Ghislaine Maxwell and says the only specific allegation that ties her to Pines is that she told him to stay silent after an alleged altercation.
- The motion challenges legal sufficiency rather than resolving disputed facts and could narrow the case before discovery moves forward while Combs continues to serve a 50‑month federal sentence from a separate criminal conviction.
