Kristina Khorram, a longtime executive and close associate of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has secured a major legal victory after a California judge dismissed several serious allegations against her, including sex trafficking and sexual battery claims.
According to court documents, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled during a June hearing that the claims brought by former Combs employee Phillip Pines did not have sufficient evidence to proceed against Khorram. The court dismissed the sex trafficking, sexual battery, and related allegations filed against her.
In the ruling, the judge found that Pines failed to provide evidence showing that Khorram was legally responsible for any of the alleged misconduct. The court also determined there was no proof that she knew about any alleged sexual assaults, participated in them, or benefited from any alleged sex trafficking activities.
Khorram has consistently denied all accusations made against her throughout the case.
Pines, who worked for Combs between 2019 and 2021, previously filed a lawsuit alleging that he was subjected to and witnessed inappropriate conduct while employed by the music mogul. He claimed that part of his job involved preparing hotel rooms for what he described as “freak-offs,” including stocking the rooms with items such as baby oil, sex toys, and other supplies. He also alleged that he was instructed to clean the rooms afterward.
The lawsuit named both Combs and Khorram as defendants, accusing them of sex trafficking, sexual battery, and other misconduct.
Combs’ legal team has strongly denied the allegations since the lawsuit was filed. In a statement, a representative for Combs maintained that he has never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone, regardless of gender or age.
The spokesperson also argued that while anyone can file a lawsuit, the legal system exists to determine the facts, adding that Combs remains confident he will ultimately prevail in court.
The dismissal represents a significant development for Khorram, though legal proceedings involving Combs continue separately.
