Diddy hired Phillip Pines as an executive assistant from December 2019 to December 2021

Citing legal documents, Variety reported that Diddy hired Phillip Pines from December 2019 to December 2021 as an executive assistant. Pines' duties allegedly included providing services like getting the rapper's food, laying out his clothing, and "being available for Mr. Combs at his beck and call."

However, Pines claimed he served as Diddy's "personal lackey," adding that his position was reportedly misclassified as an exempt employee. As part of his job, Pines allegedly needed to set up rooms for Combs' "Wild King Nights" parties.

According to the lawsuit, setting up the rooms allegedly included having "red lights, ice buckets, alcohol, marijuana joints, honey packs for male libido, baby oil, astro glide, towels, illegal drugs, and power banger s*x machines."

According to Variety, Pines claimed these parties involved "female guests or other guests" and sometimes lasted days at a time. These events reportedly occurred several times during Phillip's employment and sometimes without prior planning.

After the parties ended, Pines reportedly had to clean the rooms to remove evidence of drugs, and bodily fluids like urine and blood from furniture and bedsheets. He was also tasked with packing every item used during these encounters.

Phillip Pines allegedly tipped the hotel cleaning staff with large sums to avoid being billed in the future while ensuring no one spoke about the "Wild King Nights" parties. His duties also allegedly included watching any incriminating videos from Diddy's personal devices and deleting them. Per Variety, failure to do so would reportedly lead to the termination of his employment.

Pines claimed that the rapper would frequently test his loyalty. \One such occasion reportedly included asking him to come home after a long day at work just to fetch a remote for Combs. The lawsuit detailed another similar incident where he was pushed to have s*x with a woman.

Pines' complaint claimed that he was made to keep quiet on several incidents or face repercussions. Per TMZ, he witnessed Diddy kicking a guest at a Miami event. Later the rapper's former chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, reportedly asked him to never speak of the incident.

He also claimed Combs threw a 51st birthday party despite testing positive for COVID-19. As a result, a celebrity guest allegedly became infected, and Pines was told to keep quiet if any partygoers questioned him.
