Now former Diddy staff members have spoken out about their experiences working for Combs. As per a report of BBC, summarized by the Mirror, the staffers alleged volatile atmosphere, mind games, and unusual requests.For instance, a voice note allegedly sent by Combs to an employee WhatsApp group in 2020, revealed his attitude towards transparency.”I’m not about to be transparent with y’all. There’s some dark places y’all [EXPLETIVE] don’t want to go. Stay where you’re at.”Live EventsSenior executive assistant Phil Pines, who worked for Combs from 2019 to 2021, described his onboarding experience. He claimed Combs didn’t speak to him for 30 days when he took on the job and said it was “like an initiation”.Another assistant offered a stark assessment of Combs’ behavior. “He was a very ill man with different behaviours, sometimes very aggressive, sometimes very sweet.”Staff members also shared accounts of Combs allegedly playing mind games. An assistant, known as ‘Ethan’, recounted an incident where Combs threw his ring into the Atlantic Ocean. He said Combs told him to go in the water and get it. Ethan said he did jump in to rescue it, despite being at a formal event.Another incident involved Pines allegedly being summoned to Combs’ residence after midnight. He was asked to fetch a TV remote from under the bed while Combs was with a female guest.Combs allegedly told the woman, “See? He is loyal and now he can go back home.”Text exchanges revealed preparations for events described as ‘Wild King Night’.

She allegedly asked for a “drop off” of seven bottles of baby oil and seven bottles of Astroglide lubricant alongside iced vanilla lattes.On September 13, 2021 Khorram allegedly text Pines: “Wild king hotel night tonight. Prep bag – you will be going to set up a hotel in like next 2hrs.”Another alleged text message, sent on December 28, 2019, reads: “PD said he’s going to need emergency clean up at the hotel once they leave and come to house. “Also he is starving – there is set aside chicken and shrimp creole and rice in the fridge for him.”In another alleged message, sent in November 2021, Khorram text Pines: “Hey! PD still in hotel, but when you get to mapleton he asked if you could bring him stain remover (for a chair and couch) and black trash bags. And baking soda too he said. And a hairdryer lol.”Another message in November 2021 read, “Hey! PD needs a drop off the following please: -4 of those young coconuts-2 Alfred’s iced vanilla lattes (whole milk, extra syrup)-7 bottles baby oil-7 bottles astroglide-his Apple TV.”Staff members have also alleged that Combs’ drugs would travel with him internationally. They were allegedly concealed in a safe onboard his £45m private jet.Pines claimed, “Even if it was for a day trip, if he was going on the yacht for four hours, take all that stuff with you because he may use it.”He claimed mushrooms, ketamine and ecstasy were kept in a Gucci bag alongside baby oil, lubricant and red lights.(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel)
