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."

Senior 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'. In a text exchange seen by the BBC, chief of staff Kristina Khorram allegedly told Pines a bag needed to be ready in two hours for a '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.

Priyanka Chopra looked like nothing, was dark-skinned and skinny': Smita Jaykar recalls her first impression and transformation into a diva
Priyanka Chopra shattered ceilings and rose above standard beauty norms, becoming a global name. The actor often came under scrutiny for her dark complexion and skinny physique in the early days of her career. However, she made sure to aim for her higher goal and broke stereotypes at every stage. In a recent interview, veteran actor Smita Jaykar, who worked with Priyanka in the 2004 film Kismat, opened up about her first impression of the actor, and how she proved her wrong. During a conversation with Filmymantra Media, Smita recalled meeting her for the first time and said, 'I did Priyanka's initial days' film with her, Kismat. She was very thin, skinny, dark. She was introduced to me and Mohan Joshi that she will be playing our daughter. When I saw her, I said, 'Oh My God'. She looked like nothing at that point of time. I thought how do these people come to become a heroine.'

'Cut to, Priyanka Chopra was wow. I thought what has this girl gone and done. She became a diva completely. So, you can't judge somebody and say, 'Yaar, yeh kisko leke aaye ho'. Kuch maaloom nahi kiski kismat kab badal jaaye. What an actress, fab!' the veteran actor said. In an interview with BBC earlier, Priyanka had revealed that she was subjected to body shaming for her complexion. She said, 'I was called 'black cat', 'dusky'. I mean, what does 'dusky' even mean in a country where we are literally all are brown? I thought I was not pretty enough, I believed that I would have to work a lot harder, even though I thought I was probably a little bit more talented than my fellow actors who were lighter skinned. But I thought that was right because it was so normalised.' On the professional front, Priyanka Chopra's recent film Heads of State premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 2. Helmed by Ilya Naishuller, the American action comedy drama also stars Idris Elba, and John Cena in lead roles, along with Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, and Carla Gugino in key roles. In the film, Priyanka is playing the role of MI6 agent Noel Bisset, who is on a mission to uncover a global conspiracy. On the other hand, Smita Jaykar's next film is Maa Lapataa. She will also be seen in the web series Romeo season three.

Top 10 celebrities convicted for crimes ranging from murder, rape to shoplifting: Diddy, Shiney Ahuja to Robert Downey Jr
Top 10 celebrity crime convictions: In a world where fame often brings power, influence, and adoration, it can be easy to forget that celebrities are still fallible – just as human, just as flawed as anyone else. But when public figures cross legal lines, the consequences unfold not just in courtrooms but also under the relentless scrutiny of the public eye. One name that recently forced this uncomfortable truth into the spotlight is Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the hip-hop mogul and music industry titan who, after years of whispers and lawsuits, has now been convicted in a federal court. In July 2025, a jury found Combs guilty on two felony counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act, a law dating back to 1910. These charges relate to the coerced travel of his former partner, singer Cassie Ventura, and another woman identified only as 'Jane,' both of whom testified during the trial. Combs was acquitted on three other charges, including racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking. Still, the guilty verdict marks a seismic fall for the 55-year-old artist once synonymous with glamour, success, and cultural dominance. Diddy's story is far from unique. Over the years, several A-listers have been convicted of crimes — from drug possession and assault to manslaughter and tax evasion. This listicle delves into 10 high-profile celebrities with criminal records, focusing only on those with confirmed legal outcomes. Once a towering figure in global music, Diddy's legacy has been rocked by criminal convictions. In a 2025 federal trial, he was found guilty of two counts of transporting women – including ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura – for prostitution, under the Mann Act. Though acquitted of more serious charges like racketeering and sex trafficking, the felony convictions carry serious legal and reputational consequences. More fallout may follow. Attorney Tony Buzbee claims over 100 men and women have accused Diddy of rape and assault. One woman alleged she was gang raped at age 17 after being drugged at a 2003 party. While Combs's team dismisses the lawsuits as publicity stunts, the convictions have added weight to the mounting allegations. Sanjay Dutt's conviction remains one of the most talked-about legal sagas in Indian cinema. In 1993, following the devastating Mumbai bomb blasts, Dutt was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) for illegally possessing an AK-56 rifle, which was part of a consignment linked to the bombings. Though he was acquitted of terrorism charges, he was convicted in 2006 under the Arms Act for illegal possession of firearms. After years of legal proceedings and appeals, Dutt was sentenced to five years in prison and ultimately served over four years, including time at Yerwada Central Jail. Before becoming Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. was one of Hollywood's most tragic cautionary tales. Struggling with addiction in the 90s, Downey was repeatedly arrested for possession of heroin, cocaine, and unlicensed firearms. He was famously found wandering into a neighbour's house under the influence and passed out in their bed. In 1999, after multiple probation violations, he was sentenced to three years in prison, though he served roughly a year before early release. In 2009, Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja was arrested for raping his domestic help—a case that sent shockwaves through the film industry. Though the victim later recanted her statement, the court found the original testimony credible and convicted Ahuja in 2011 under Section 376 (rape) and other charges. He was sentenced to seven years in prison, though he spent about three years in jail before being released on bail pending appeal. Wesley Snipes' high-flying Hollywood career hit a wall when he was convicted in 2008 on three misdemeanor counts of failing to file federal income tax returns. Prosecutors claimed he hadn't paid taxes for years, despite earning tens of millions. Though he was acquitted of the more severe felony tax fraud charges, he still served nearly three years in prison. In 1992, boxing champion Mike Tyson was convicted of raping 18-year-old Desiree Washington, a beauty pageant contestant, in an incident that took place at a hotel in Indianapolis in July 1991. The jury found Tyson guilty after about 10 hours of deliberation, rejecting his defense that the encounter was consensual. Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison and served approximately three years before being released on parole in 1995. The conviction shocked the sports world and dramatically altered Tyson's public image overnight, marking a significant turning point in his career. Despite this setback, Tyson later returned to the boxing ring and expanded his career into entertainment, including notable acting roles such as in The Hangover film series. In 2001, Stranger Things star Winona Ryder was arrested for shoplifting over $5,500 worth of merchandise from a Beverly Hills Saks Fifth Avenue store. She was later convicted of felony grand theft and vandalism, receiving three years' probation, 480 hours of community service, and fines. The incident damaged her career for years, leading to a hiatus from leading roles in Hollywood. Ryder eventually made a well-received comeback, and her 2000s-era troubles are now often seen as part of the conversation around mental health and celebrity pressure. Shia LaBeouf is known for his acting talent as well as his history of erratic behaviour and legal troubles. Over the years, he has been arrested multiple times for offenses such as disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and drunk driving. One of the most notable incidents occurred in 2017, when LaBeouf was arrested in Savannah, Georgia, for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct. During this arrest, he was caught on camera making a racially charged outburst toward police officers. These incidents, along with other arrests for similar behavior, have contributed to his reputation for instability. LaBeouf has also faced civil lawsuits from former partners, most prominently from singer FKA Twigs, who accused him of sexual battery and emotional abuse. While he has not been criminally convicted in these civil cases, the combination of his legal issues and public controversies has overshadowed his career achievements, leading many to view him as a cautionary example of wasted potential in Hollywood. Before becoming a blockbuster actor and producer, Mark Wahlberg had a violent and troubling past. At 16, Wahlberg was charged with attempted murder after assaulting two Vietnamese men during a racially motivated attack. He was convicted of assault and served 45 days in prison. The case drew renewed attention in 2014 when Wahlberg applied for a pardon, sparking criticism from civil rights groups and raising questions about accountability and privilege. Wahlberg has publicly acknowledged his past and expressed remorse, though his request for a pardon was ultimately dropped. Phil Spector, the music genius behind the Wall of Sound, became infamous for a far more sinister reason. In 2009, he was convicted of second-degree murder for the 2003 death of actress Lana Clarkson, who was found shot in his mansion. The trial, his second, after a hung jury, ended in a conviction and a 19-years-to-life prison sentence. Spector died in custody in 2021.

Chandigarh: 61-year-old duped of ₹52L in cyber scam
A 61-year-old resident of Sector 37-D has alleged that he was defrauded of over ₹52.8 lakh by cyber fraudsters operating under the guise of HSBC Securities, promising high returns through IPOs, block deals, and pull-up stock schemes. Police suspect the scam was executed by an organised cybercrime syndicate using fake identities and social engineering tactics. (HT photo for representation) According to an FIR registered on July 2, the victim Guljit Singh Dadhwal, stated that he was added to a WhatsApp group allegedly operated by individuals impersonating officials of HSBC Securities. The group, which had about 80-100 members, frequently discussed high-return investments, leading the complainant to believe he was participating in legitimate trading activities. The accused instructed Dadhwal to download a fraudulent app—HSSPMA—via a suspicious Google Play Store link, claiming it was a 'Primary Market Account' portal. Once onboarded, he was guided to deposit large sums through RTGS/NEFT into multiple Bandhan Bank accounts, purportedly belonging to brokers. Between March 22 and April 21, Dadhwal transferred ₹52.8 lakh in tranches. The FIR has been registered under Sections 319(2) (cheating by personation), 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 338 (forgery of valuable security, will, etc.), 340(2) (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), and 62(2) (attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. The case is being investigated by Sector 39 police station under the supervision of senior officials. Police suspect the scam was executed by an organised cybercrime syndicate using fake identities and social engineering tactics.
