A former employee of Sean “Diddy” Combs alleges in a new lawsuit that he had to supply a myriad of sex toys and lubricant to Combs’ for his parties — which according to the complaint, were called “Wild King Nights.”
Phillip Pines alleges in a complaint filed on Monday, Dec. 23, that part of his job working for the Bad Boy Records founder included ensuring that Combs’ bedroom or hotel rooms were supplied with “red lights, ice buckets, alcohol, marijuana joints, honey packs for male libido, baby oil, Astro glide, towels, illegal drugs, and power banger sex machines.”
Pines claims he was “expected to be on call” for the “Wild King Nights,” which could last for days and was, on several occasions, tasked with bringing extra sex toys, marijuana, Astro glide and baby oil as well as Plan B or illegal drugs to the parties.
After the parties, he alleges he was instructed to remove drug evidence, condoms, sex toys and bodily stains and urine from the sheets and furniture as well as delete any incriminating videos from Combs’ personal devices including laptops and phones; make sure no one spoke afterwards about the events; and provide large tips to the cleaning crews at the hotels “to avoid housecleaning from reporting anything that would be later billed,” according to the complaint.
Pines claims he worked for the rapper between 2019 and 2021 and Combs treated him “like an animal playing fetch in order to prove his loyalty.”
“He was instructed to show his loyalty to Sean Combs,” states the complaint. “If [Plaintiff] refused, he was told he would be terminated and would be blackballed from the industry, along with repercussions.”
When he travelled with Combs, Pines claims he was in charge of the “MVP” bag — a Gucci bag allegedly filled with drugs and sex toys.

He also alleges that Combs had COVID-19 during his 51st birthday party but kept it quiet.
“One of those celebrities became infected with COVID and called to inform them that he got COVID and wanted to ensure no one at the party had COVID,” the complaint alleges. “[Pines] was instructed to keep quiet.”
In a statement to PEOPLE when contacted about Pines’ suit, Combs’ legal team said, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”
Combs has now been named a defendant in scores of complaints, a flood of which began when his ex, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, accused him of abuse in Nov. 2023. The suit was settled a day after being filed.
The spate of civil accusations comes as Combs is facing criminal charges in federal court. He is currently behind bars following a September indictment on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
His criminal trial is currently scheduled for May 2025.
Combs has been behind bars following his September indictment, in which he was charged with sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy.
