Sean “Diddy” Combs once referred to Kristina Khorram, the chief of staff at Combs Enterprises, as his “right-hand woman.” A source familiar with the ongoing investigation into the rapper revealed to The Post that she may be more of a “chief manipulator.”
The hip-hop mogul was arrested by Department of Homeland Security agents at a New York hotel on Monday night. The charges against him include conspiracy to commit organized crime, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. He was detained without the ability to post $50 million bail because his request for bail was denied.

Alleged “gatekeeper” in the Diddy case
The source close to the investigation said: “If there’s someone who opens the door, Kristina knows everything.” According to the 14-page indictment, Combs was assisted by “certain associates,” including “high-level superiors,” to “operate, facilitate and cover up his abuse and commercial sex ring.” However, as the NY Post reported, the papers did not include the names of Diddy’s associates.
It also stated that the survivors were responsible for conducting freak-offs that included sex workers, and that they “stocked hotel rooms in advance with necessary freak-off supplies, including controlled substances, baby oil lubricant, extra bedding, and lighting.” “(Federal authorities) obtained evidence from many sources – recordings, text messages – names, texts from Kristina Khorram,” Page Six reports.
Diddy posted about Khorram on Facebook in 2021, writing, “She has been my right hand for the past 8 years and has proven time and time again that she can get things done and done. I don’t know how I would function without her.”

Kristina Khorram compared to Ghislaine Maxwell
In a separate lawsuit filed against Khorram in February, Lil Rhody described her as “Ghislaine Maxwell to Sean Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell was the sex worker who helped the now-convicted sex offender Epstein. Rhody also accused her of “ordering sex workers and prostitutes for him (Diddy).”
In an amended complaint, he alleged that Khorram “required” other household and staff members to carry “fanny packs” containing various drugs, including cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana, gummy bears and tuci, so that the mogul would have a “drug of choice” available at all times.
According to the lawsuit, Khorram also “knowingly and intentionally participated in, committed, aided, abetted, and facilitated a sex trafficking enterprise.” It also alleged that Combs’ right-hand woman “was instrumental in organizing and conducting the (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) enterprise” and that she had another employee, Stevie J, who helped recruit the sex workers.
Diddy’s lawyers have asked for Rhody’s ongoing lawsuit to be dismissed. His attorney, Erica Wolff, said, “Mr. Jones’ lawsuit is pure fiction – a shameless attempt to create a media frenzy and get a quick settlement… Mr. Jones was not threatened, manipulated, attacked or trafficked. We look forward to proving in court that all of Mr. Jones’ claims are fabricated and must be dismissed,” USA Today reported.
