Diddy’s Chief of Staff Kristina Khorram Breaks Silence on Allegations She ‘Aided’ Assaults

Kristina Khorram, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ chief of staff at Bad Boy Entertainment, broke her silence on claims that she “aided and abetted” the rapper’s alleged crimes.

“For months, horrific accusations have been made about me in various lawsuits regarding my former boss,” Khorram said in a statement to Rolling Stone on Tuesday, March 18. “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, “The idea that I could be accused of playing a role in — or even being a bystander to — the rape of anyone is beyond upsetting, disturbing and unthinkable. That is not who I am, and my heart goes out to all victims of sexual assault. I am confident that the allegations against me will be proven to be untrue.”

Khorram has worked for Diddy, 55, for more than a decade. In a January 2021 Facebook post, the mogul gushed about her work, describing her as his “right-hand” woman.

“Meet Kristina Khorram, Chief of Staff at Combs Enterprises,” he wrote at the time. “Kristina aka KK keeps everything in my life and my business running. She’s been my right hand for the last 8 years and has consistently proven to execute and get s— done. Don’t know how I’d function without her.”

Last year, music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones named Khorram in his sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy, calling her the “Ghislaine Maxwell to Sean Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein” in his court filing. Jones alleged that Diddy sexually harassed, drugged and threatened him while they were working on Diddy’s 2023 album, The Love Album: Off the Grid.

Jones claimed that he subsequently told Khorram about these alleged unwanted encounters. According to Jones, she allegedly responded, “You know, Sean will be Sean.” He also claimed she “attempted to downplay Mr. Combs’ groping … as friendly horseplay, stating that those acts were Mr. Combs’s way of ‘showing that he likes you.’”

Jones further alleged that Khorram paid hired sex workers for Combs and required his personal employees to carry a fanny pack filled with illicit substances that she ordered and distributed, including “cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana gummies and Tuci (a pink drug that is a combination of ecstasy and cocaine),” according to the lawsuit.

Diddy’s attorney Shawn Holley denied Jones’ accusations in a February 2024 statement to Us Weekly, calling him a “liar.”

“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit, shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Holley said. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”

Holley continued, “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”

Khorram was also named in a lawsuit against Diddy filed by Phil Pines, who claimed that he participated in so-called “Wild King Nights” with the rapper. Pines alleged that he once witnessed Diddy kick a woman to the ground and demand she return his sweatshirt, leaving her topless.

In the January Investigation Discovery docuseries The Fall of Diddy, Pines claimed that Khorram knew about the alleged assault and did nothing.

“My direct supervisor, Kristina, was aware of what happened. Kristina told me to never speak about it again,” he alleged. “Kristina was his day-to-day manager. Eventually she became the chief of staff. Everybody at that level has a right-hand man or a right-hand woman, someone who can be trusted with everything from personal to business to good to bad. Like a marriage. A lot of times delegation would come from her.”

Diddy’s legal team addressed Pines’ lawsuit in a statement to Us in December 2024, saying: “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.”
