Kristina Khorram, former chief of staff to the currently detained artist Sean “Diddy” Combs, has publicly denied accusations of her involvement in the musician’s alleged sexual abuse and misconduct, according to CNN.
Khorram, whose name had been mentioned in several lawsuits filed against Combs, finally decided to speak out. In a statement to Rolling Stone Magazine, Khorram claimed her innocence and denied that she “aided and abetted the sexual assault of anyone.”
“For months, horrific accusations have been made about me in various lawsuits regarding my former boss,” Khorram said in the Rolling Stone statement. “These false allegations of my involvement are causing irreparable and incalculable damage to my reputation and the emotional well-being of myself and my family. I have never condoned or aided and abetted the sexual assault of anyone. Nor have I ever drugged anyone.”
She continued to express her severe disturbance about the accusations made against her and asserted that she would never morally condone or participate in such erratic behavior, according to Rolling Stone.
Over the course of Combs’ legal battles, Kristina Khorram’s name has been mentioned in at least three different lawsuits filed against him, claiming that Khorram enabled and aided in Diddy’s behavior and sexual advances. It began when music producer Rodney “Little Rod” Jones filed a lawsuit claiming to be a victim of Comb’s sexual abuse.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jones had stated that Khorram was the “Ghislaine Maxwell to Sean Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein.” Maxwell is currently facing 20 years in prison due to her facilitation and participation in Epstein’s sexual abuse of underage children.
Jones’s suit also claims that when he went to Khorram to express his discomfort with Comb’s behavior, Khorram dismissed him, saying, “You know, Sean will be Sean.” She continued to validate Comb’s sexual assault as friendly horseplay, saying it was Comb’s way of “showing that he likes you.”
Jones’s lawsuit additionally accuses Khorram of requiring all employees to carry a bag of cocaine, ecstasy, tusi, and other drugs, correlating with his claim that he saw Khorram ordering her assistants to keep Combs constantly high on pills or gummies, according to NBC News.
Furthermore, he accused Khorram of ordering and paying for Comb’s sex workers, insisting Khorram text messaged him asking him to contact one of Diddy’s sex workers.
In June 2022, Combs mentioned Khorram in his BET Awards acceptance speech, crediting her as one of the many people who had helped him through a dark period in his life. In the year prior, Combs had posted about Khorram on his Facebook page, referring to her as his “right hand” and the woman who keeps his life intact, according to NBC News.
In a 2021 Facebook post, Combs called Khorram his ‘right hand,’ writing, “she’s been my right hand for the last eight years and has consistently proven to execute and get shi* done. Don’t know how I’d function without her.”
Combs’s former senior executive, Phillip Pines, filed a lawsuit against Combs in December. The suit included multiple allegations against Khorram, claiming she had dismissed and assisted Combs’s inappropriate behavior.
Pines claimed that in Miami, he had witnessed Combs kick a woman in the stomach and buttocks. When he had gone to express his concerns to Khorram, she demanded that he never speak of what he had seen, saying that “there are repercussions that can happen if he did,” according to NBC News.
Pines’ lawsuit also includes that Khorram and Combs would allegedly hold him responsible for carrying the “MVP” bag during travels, a bag containing illicit drugs and sex toys.
