Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs is being sued by a former employee who claims the embattled music mogul subjected him to sexual battery and harassment, sex trafficking and other humiliating indiscretions during his time on the rapper’s payroll.
Phillip Pines said in legal documents reviewed by TMZ that the music mogul, 55 – who has been accused of orchestrating group sexual exhibitions referred to as ‘Freak Offs’ – also presided over sex parties known as ‘Wild King Nights.’
Pines told the court that a number of his job tasks from 2019 to 2021 involved the logistics behind his sex parties, and gathering supplies such as ‘drugs, alcohol and sex toys,’ according to the outlet.
Attorneys for Diddy told Dailymail.com Monday evening that Combs continues to deny the allegations against him, both in lawsuits filed by Pines and others; as well as the federal sex trafficking and racketeering offenses he was charged with in September.
‘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,’ Combs’ legal team told Dailymail.com.
Combs’ legal team continued, ‘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.’

Dailymail.com has also reached out to Combs’ reps for comment on Pines’ lawsuit.
Diddy treated Pines ‘like an animal playing fetch in order to prove his loyalty,’ the plaintiff alleged in court docs.
Pines said in legal documents that he had to set up the hotel rooms Combs used for the debaucherous ‘Wild King Nights’ involving sex and drugs; and was responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.
Among the items Pines told the court he routinely stocked at Combs’ command included ‘red lights, ice buckets, alcohol, marijuana, honey packs for male libido, baby oil, astro glide, towels, illegal drugs and power banger sex machines,’ the outlet reported.
Pines said in court documents that the cleanup that followed the gatherings – which could go on for several days with several women present – involved potentially-biohazardous substances such as bodily fluids, drug paraphernalia and used condoms/sex toys.
Pines told the court he always had to tip hotel staffs extra to suppress any potential leaks of the incidents.
Pines told the court that Combs continued to force him to work near him after he tested positive for coronavirus in November of 2020, before the release of related vaccines.
Pines said that Combs told him ‘to remain silent’ after a celebrity who attended Combs’ 2020 birthday bash in Turks and Caicos the month after asked him if anyone at the event had COVID-19, the outlet reported.

Combs in recent days has faced multiple newly-filed lawsuits alleging sexual assault, as his legal troubles continue to mount while he is currently in jail awaiting his criminal trial after his dramatic downfall amid allegations he committed crimes such as rape.
He was indicted on charges including sex trafficking in September, months after video footage surfaced of him violently attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
Dozens of sexual assault lawsuits have also been filed against the rap mogul since last year – and news of two more went public this past Friday.
One plaintiff, suing as Jane Doe, accuses Combs of raping her minutes before the deadly stampede at the 1991 charity basketball game he co-sponsored at the City College Of New York (CCNY), according to TMZ.
The other suit was filed by Oklahoma woman LaTroya Grayson, who claims she was drugged at Combs’ ‘white party’ in 2006 and raped – though she does not remember the alleged assault and thus could not positively identify the purported culprit.
Combs’ attorneys have dismissed Grayson’s claims as ‘pure fiction’ to TMZ. DailyMail.com has reached out to Combs’ legal team for comment on Grayson’s claims.
In Grayson’s lawsuit, she does not say that she met or interacted with Combs at the 2006 ‘white party’ where she claims she was drugged.
Combs’ attorneys have issued a statement saying: ‘Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone or engaged in sex trafficking. Ms. Grayson admits she has no memory of the events alleged in her complaint, does not know who was supposedly involved, and has never spoken to Mr. Combs.’

The statement continued: ‘Her allegations against him are pure fiction. As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every baseless lawsuit and lawyer-driven money grab. He has faith in the judicial process, in which fact will be separated from opportunistic fabrications like these.’
Grayson, who is suing for $15 million, claims that for a week after the 2006 party she ‘felt constant pain in the inside and outside of her vagina’, which she ‘believed was from rough intercourse,’ Page Six reported citing her legal complaint.
She has filed suit against not only Combs, but also the label he founded, Bad Boy Records, as well as other companies.
Grayson says her half-sibling won a radio contest at the local station KJAMZ and was awarded a round-trip airfare to New York with a guest, plus a hotel room and two tickets to Combs’ ‘white party’ in the city in October 2006.
In her suit, Grayson included pictures of her Delta Airlines tickets, which took her and her half-sibling to New York on October 16, 2006 and back to Tulsa on October 17.
She also submitted photos of her bill from Manhattan’s Roger Smith Hotel paid by Atlantic Records, and of her invitation to the ‘white party.’
Grayson claims that when she arrived at Combs’ event – which was renamed a ‘black party’ – she was allowed in but her half-sibling was left outside.
She and ‘other contest winners were approved for entry by security based on their appearances and their attire,’ she alleged in her lawsuit.

There are pictures reputedly from the party in the lawsuit as well, showing Grayson, then aged 23, with showbiz personalities Bonecrusher and Babs.
The suit alleges that the event contained ‘no bar for partygoers to get drinks. Instead, premade drinks were being circulated throughout the party by waitresses.’
Grayson says she drank ‘less than two premade drinks’ before she ‘began to feel sick’ and ‘tried to go to the restroom,’ according to her legal filing.
Her lawsuit maintains that her ‘next memory’ was regaining consciousness at Saint Vincent’s Medical Center, without any ‘recollection’ of how she arrived there.
She has told the Daily Mirror she remembers being lifted ‘up in the air’ at the party and carried ‘out of the club’ by ‘three of four guys,’ before coming to in the hospital, where she was ‘throwing up pretty bad’ and her stomach was pumped.
According to her lawsuit, she realized while in the hospital that ‘her shirt was ripped, her underwear was missing, she was not wearing any shoes and the money she had traveled with was stolen.’
She now believes she was ‘robbed’ in addition to being ‘drugged’ and ‘assaulted,’ Grayson maintains in her legal filing.
Her lawsuit further alleges that after she went home to Oklahoma, she was rung by an ‘anonymous female caller’ with a New York area code who ‘threatened’ her.
The caller allegedly told her that ‘any attempts to pursue anything about [her] assault would be futile because Combs was a “celebrity” and that [Grayson] would “just be wasting her time,”‘ according to Grayson’s suit.

Grayson felt that the call supported her suspicion that she had been ‘violently assaulted,’ she recalled in her legal filing.
Her lawsuit added that she ‘experiences bouts of depression, anxiety, body image issues, feelings of worthlessness and intimacy issues stemming from her assault.’
Another legal complaint has been filed against Combs by a plaintiff suing anonymously as Jane Doe, in connection with the notorious 1991 CCNY stampede.
Combs, who was then still rising in the music industry, co-sponsored a charity basketball game at the university in December 1991.
Almost 5,000 people tried to make their way into a gym that fit less than 3,000, resulting in a crowd rush that left nine people dead and a further 29 injured.
Jane Doe claims that she and a friend of hers went to the basketball game at the invitation of a rapper they knew who was scheduled to perform there.
In her suit, Doe alleges she persuaded a guard to let her and her friend enter early, in light of the fact a large and disorderly crowd was already forming.
She maintains that she was then brought to a gym locker room office that Combs was using for the event as a dressing room.

Doe says she did not recognize Combs but asked him to help her find the rapper she was acquainted with who was on the bill. She claims that Combs agreed to her request, and alleges that he then offered her a plastic cup of what he said was Coca-Cola.
According to Doe’s lawsuit, she felt woozy after a sip of the drink, but when she attempted to exit the room, Combs prevented her from doing so and then allegedly began to fondle her and touch himself.
Doe’s legal documents claim that she struggled, but that Combs overwhelmed her, pushing her down and ripping her underwear off before raping her.
She asserts that she then told Combs she would inform her rapper friend about the alleged encounter, but Combs purportedly warned her off such a course of action, saying that ‘people can come up missing.’
Combs, according to Doe’s lawsuit, then left the room to handle a development at the basketball game – and when she found her friend and made her exit, the notorious stampede was supposedly underway.
