Sean “Diddy” Combs is being sued by former employee Phillip Pines, who is alleging that he participated in “Wild King Nights” with the disgraced music mogul.
The lawsuit, obtained by Variety on Monday, December 23, detailed the alleged “Wild King Nights” as evenings where Diddy, 55, would “engage in a night of sex, drugs and alcohol” with various guests. Pines alleged that, on one occasion, Diddy pressured Pines into having sex with a female guest.
The former employee alleged that he served as Diddy’s “personal lackey” and claimed he would be asked to obtain “red lights, ice buckets, alcohol, marijuana joints, honey packs for male libido, baby oil, astro glide, towels, illegal drugs and power banger sex machines,” before the “Wild King Nights.”
Diddy’s team addressed the filing in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, December 24: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor,. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”
The complaint further claimed that Pine would deep clean hotel rooms after the alleged “Wild King Nights” nights — which could be previously planned or occur on a moment’s notice — came to an end. (Pines worked for Diddy from December 2019 through December 2021.)
Part of his duties included “removing evidence of drugs, removing bodily stains like blood and urine from furniture and sheets, and packing away all items used,” the suit alleged, per Variety. Pines was told to make sure that details about the alleged “Wild King Nights” did not go public and would leave “hotel cleaning crews large tips.” The former employee alleged that he would watch “any incriminating videos” from Diddy’s personal devices and delete them or else he would be fired.
Pines’ suit comes amid several cases against Diddy and days after he was accused of sexual assault by a woman named LaTroya Grayson, who claimed she was drugged and raped at the musician’s “White Party” in 2006. (Grayson won a contest to attend the event where the alleged incident took place.)
Diddy’s team denied the allegations in a statement to TMZ on Friday, December 20. The rapper’s legal team has continued to vehemently deny all allegations against him following Diddy’s arrest on a barrage of charges in September. (Diddy has pleaded not guilty and his trial is set to begin in May 2025.)
Diddy is currently incarcerated in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center where he awaits trial.
