Diddy's Assistant Kristina Khorram Denies Maxwell Comparison in Court Filings

Kristina Khorram isn’t taking the comparison lying down. Diddy’s longtime assistant is firing back in court against accusations that paint her as a Ghislaine Maxwell-type enabler, arguing the lawsuit filed against her lacks any real evidence to support the allegations.

The legal pushback centers on a complaint brought by Phillip Pines, who worked for Diddy from 2019 to 2021 and claims he was forced to set up and manage what he describes as“freakoffs”—events he says required him to stock hotel rooms with red lights, baby oil, towels, and sex devices. Pines alleges that during his employment, Diddy and Khorram forced him to engage in sexual activity while the mogul watched, and that Khorram specifically instructed him not to speak about an incident involving Combs kicking someone. In her court response, Khorram contends that Pines has presented zero proof she knowingly participated in or benefited from any sex trafficking operation.

What’s notable about Khorram’s defense is how narrow her actual alleged involvement appears when laid bare in court documents. According to her legal team, the only concrete claim Pines makes against her boils down to her telling him to stay quiet about one incident. That’s a far cry from the serious charges of sex trafficking and sexual harassment leveled in the lawsuit—and her team is arguing it’s not nearly enough to keep the case alive.

This legal maneuvering reflects a larger pattern in the Diddy saga: as more accusers come forward with varying claims, the details around who knew what and when become increasingly contested. Khorram’s response essentially argues that proximity to Diddy’s inner circle doesn’t equal culpability—a distinction that could matter greatly once this case moves deeper into discovery. Whether Pines can produce evidence linking her more directly to his allegations will likely determine whether her portion of the lawsuit survives.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s team continues to deny all allegations, stating through representatives that despite the growing legal filings, the disgraced mogul has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone. As these cases wind through the courts, they’re shaping up to be anything but simple—with competing narratives and mounting legal complexity on all sides.
