P Diddy's ex-assistant demanded compensation for organizing his parties

A former assistant to American rapper P Diddy (Sean Combs), Philip Pines, has sued the musician for damages for lewd party hosting duties, TMZ reported on December 23.

"The Bad Boy Records founder is being sued for sexual harassment, sexual assault, human trafficking and more by a man named Philip Pines, who claims he worked for Diddy from 2019 to 2021 and says some of his job duties were related to Diddy's alleged sexual habits. <...> Pines is now suing Diddy for damages," the piece reads.

According to Pines' claim, while working for the rapper, he had to set up hotel rooms for sex parties, and then carefully hide all traces and resolve all issues with the staff.

The former assistant also accused the musician of being forced to work with P Diddy when he was sick with the coronavirus.

Rapper P Diddy was taken into custody in New York City on September 17 by court order. He faces charges of organizing prostitution and human trafficking. Combs' court hearing is scheduled for May 5, 2025. In late November, the court denied him bail.

A number of other people accused the musician of rape and other crimes already after his arrest. Thus, on October 21, seven new lawsuits were filed against P. Diddy. On Oct. 29, Reuters learned of P Diddy's new accusation of raping a 10-year-old child in 2005, as well as a 17-year-old in 2008. Three more people, including two men, filed sexual assault charges against Combs on Nov. 20.
