A new lawsuit filed against Sean "Diddy" Combs reveals disturbing allegations from a former employee who claims he was forced to arrange and clean up after elaborate sex parties dubbed "Wild King Nights."
Phillip Pines, who worked for Combs between 2019 and 2021, has filed a civil lawsuit alleging sexual battery, sex trafficking, and emotional distress. The complaint, filed on December 23, details Pines' alleged responsibilities in organizing these events.
According to the lawsuit, Pines was instructed to prepare rooms with specific items including red lights, alcohol, marijuana, sex toys, and various other supplies. The parties could reportedly last for days, with Pines expected to remain on call throughout.
The complaint states that Pines' duties extended beyond setup - he was allegedly tasked with removing evidence of drug use, disposing of intimate items, and cleaning bodily fluids from furniture and bedding. The former employee claims he was also responsible for deleting potentially incriminating videos from Combs' devices and ensuring participants' silence.
Pines describes being treated as Combs' "personal lackey" and claims he was pressured to engage in sexual activity with a female guest. The lawsuit also alleges that Combs concealed a COVID-19 diagnosis during his 51st birthday celebration.
In response to these allegations, Combs' legal team stated that their client "has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone" and expressed confidence in prevailing in court.
These accusations add to mounting legal troubles for the music mogul, who faces multiple civil complaints following a November 2023 lawsuit from his former partner Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura. Combs is currently incarcerated and awaiting trial on federal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, scheduled for May 2025.
