Kristina Khorram, Former Aide to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Denies Allegations of Complicity in Sexual Misconduct
Kristina "KK" Khorram, formerly a high-ranking staff member for Sean "Diddy" Combs, has publicly refuted allegations that she participated in or facilitated the alleged sexual misconduct that Combs is accused of. Khorram’s statement comes amidst a barrage of lawsuits against the rap mogul, including accusations of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and racketeering.
Khorram, who has been described as Combs’ chief of staff, found herself implicated in several lawsuits accusing Combs of a pattern of sexual abuse and exploitation. Allegations ranged from witnessing the misconduct to actively assisting Combs in procuring sex workers and covering up incidents.
In a statement issued to Rolling Stone, Khorram categorically denied the accusations, stating that she "never condoned or aided and abetted the sexual assault of anyone." She added, "Nor have I ever drugged anyone." Khorram expressed her profound distress over the allegations, stating that the idea of being accused of playing a role in, or even being a bystander to, the rape of anyone is "beyond upsetting, disturbing, and unthinkable." She further emphasized that such behavior is "not who I am," and conveyed her sympathy for victims of sexual assault.
Khorram’s lawyer has been contacted by USA TODAY for further comment. She stated that the accusations have caused significant damage to her reputation and emotional well-being, as well as that of her family.
Khorram’s professional relationship with Combs dates back to 2013, when she began working at Combs Enterprises. The nature of her role and the extent of her involvement in Combs’ alleged activities have been subjects of scrutiny in the wake of the lawsuits.
Combs’ representatives have also been contacted by USA TODAY for comment.
Khorram’s name surfaced in a sexual battery, assault, and racketeering lawsuit filed by Ashley Parham. Parham claimed that Combs and associates, including Druski and Odell Beckham Jr., violently gang raped her in an October 2024 lawsuit. Parham alleged that Khorram threatened her safety before the assault. All three have vehemently denied the claims, and police have deemed Parham’s claims "unfounded."
In a separate lawsuit filed by Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones Jr. in February 2024, the music producer accused Combs of sexual assault, liability, and racketeering. Jones alleged that Khorram directed Combs Enterprises employees to engage in activities ranging from drug trafficking to acquiring sex workers for Combs. Jones claimed that when he complained about Combs’ advances toward him, Khorram responded, "You know, Sean will be Sean," and dismissed his groping as "horseplay."
Combs’ attorney, in a statement shared with USA TODAY at the time, dismissed Jones’ claims as lies motivated by a desire for an undeserved payday.
Phil Pines, Combs’ former assistant, filed a lawsuit against Combs in December. Pines claimed that he worked under Khorram, who allegedly directed him to clean up hotel rooms in the aftermath of Combs’ sex parties. Pines made these allegations in Investigation Discovery’s "The Fall of Diddy" docuseries.
Combs’ representatives responded to Pines’ allegations by stating that Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. They asserted that the accusations against Combs are pure fiction and that the truth will prevail in court.
The allegations against Combs and his associates have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, prompting widespread condemnation and calls for accountability. The various lawsuits paint a picture of a culture of abuse and exploitation within Combs’ inner circle.
The lawsuits filed against Combs encompass a range of allegations, including sexual assault, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and racketeering. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim that Combs used his power and influence to exploit and abuse individuals, creating a climate of fear and intimidation.
The allegations against Khorram raise questions about the role of individuals within Combs’ organization and their potential knowledge of or participation in the alleged misconduct. Her denial of the accusations sets the stage for a legal battle to determine the truth of the matter.
The unfolding legal proceedings are expected to be complex and lengthy, involving numerous witnesses and extensive evidence. The outcome of these cases could have significant implications for Combs, Khorram, and others implicated in the alleged misconduct.
