An alleged ex-assistant of Sean “Diddy” Combs claims the rapper once forced him to have sex with a woman to prove his “loyalty” during his employment with the disgraced mogul.
Phillip Pines, who allegedly worked as Combs’ senior executive assistant from 2019 to 2021, recalled being at one of Combs’ parties where he was allegedly pushed to drink alcohol when he claims Combs approached him with the proposition.
“I remember hearing the words: ‘Prove your loyalty to me,'” Pines claimed in a pre-taped interview airing Tuesday night following the final episode of “The Fall of Diddy” documentary, per the Hollywood Reporter.
“He grabbed me by the shoulders, kind of gave me a quick massage, like a coach would give a player that’s about to enter the game, and handed me a condom, pushed me to a girl that was on the couch, a guest.”
The woman allegedly gave her consent to Pines before they engaged in sexual activity, which he claimed he agreed to in part because he feared retaliation from Combs.
“He got me. It was a circus. He did whatever he wanted, and we were just at his disposal. … He’s a predator,” Pines claimed.
“I mean that in a sexually charged way, in a manipulation way. He has an innate ability to make you feel comfortable and to make you do things for him that you would never do.”
At another point in in the interview, Pines claimed he wasn’t present for any of Combs’ alleged “freak-off” parties, which are expected to be mentioned in the rapper’s upcoming trial as he faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and forced prostitution.
