Who is Kristina Khorram, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Chief of Staff dubbed his ‘Ghislaine Maxwell’?
His spokesperson has called it a “witch hunt” after the artist and producer’s properties are raided and ugly stories resurface.
Earlier this week, federal agents raided several of the properties owned by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The record producer, estimated to be worth close to a billion dollars, now finds himself in the middle of multiple lawsuits in which he has been accused of sex trafficking among other crimes. His lawyers have been quick to call out the search warrants that were executed as “a gross overuse of military-level force” and called it an “unprecedented ambush, paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence,” which has led to “a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs.” All in all they have described this week’s actions as “a witch hunt.”
So how did we get here and who has been involved?
Kristina Khorram named in Diddy lawsuits
As well as previous sex abuse lawsuits that have been brought against the rapper-turned-producer, the latest one from another music producer, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, has alleged detailed misconduct and assaults, including that of minors. In the suit there are also several high level names stated, but one that has caused some intrigue is that of Kristina Khorram, Combs’ Chief of Staff, heading up several of his projects and events.
On Diddy’s official Facebook page it was written: ‘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 shit done. Don’t know how I’d function without her.’
More on Sean Combs:
According to Lil Rod, Khorram was the one who arranged sex workers for Combs and allegedly directed her staff to spike Champagne, DeLeon tequila, and Ciroc liquor bottles with ecstasy and other illicit substances. Other claims have pointed to the soft drinks, rather than the alcoholic ones, being spiked too.
The lawsuit also claims that all employees, from butlers to chefs to housekeepers, had to carry pouches or “fanny packs” containing cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, and other drugs.
This description of Khorram, who is yet to speak publicly on the matter, has had her compared to Ghislaine Maxwell, who received a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking offenses working for Jeffrey Epstein.
It’s worth noting that Shawn Holley, Combs’ attorney, said the following in a statement.
“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. 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.
“We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
