Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former assistant, Phil Pines, is shedding light on the infamous 'Wild King Nights' parties in an extended episode of Investigation Discovery's The Fall of Diddy docuseries.
In a pre-recorded interview that airs following the conclusion of the four-part documentary on Tuesday night, Pines discusses the extravagant and controversial sex parties, which often involved young and impressionable women.
Combs, who is currently being held in a Brooklyn federal jail while awaiting his May trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, allegedly instructed Pines to gather an extensive list of items—including specific lighting, drugs, baby oil, sex toys, and other materials—before these private gatherings.
'We usually had a laundry list of items that included lights, alcohol, marijuana, ketamine, Molly. You have mushrooms on the top there … baby oil and astroglide [lubricant] are very important; candles, incense, Apple TVs, electronics, computers, iPads. Obviously there was, you know, male libido supplements, stuff like that,' Pines tells journalist Mara S. Campo during the 30-minute sit-down, which concludes the four-part docuseries on Combs and has been viewed by *The Hollywood Reporter.*
Pines, who served as Combs' senior executive assistant from 2019 to 2021, stated that while he never personally witnessed the so-called 'freak-offs,' these events are expected to play a major role in Combs' upcoming criminal trial in New York City. However, he did discuss the *Wild King Nights* parties, which were typically held in hotels and featured groups of young women who, he alleged, were easier to manipulate.
'A lot of times, there were girls that were under the radar, didn't have a lot of influence. I think that speaks to the type of situations people were put in. A lot of times, you have [Combs] with a young female, and there's a power dynamic there. A more impressionable girl is easier to reel in, as opposed to somebody who might be a celebrity who's not going to do too much of that, or give some pushback,' Pines explained.
He noted that the young women he saw at these events were mostly in their 20s. When asked whether Combs was simply partying like a rap star, as his lawyers have claimed, he responded, 'Look, there's partying and then there's a party.'
At the same time, Pines admitted that he was not present in the *Wild King Nights* rooms frequently enough to determine whether those participating in the drug-fueled orgies had given proper consent. However, he recalled one instance where a visibly distressed young woman had to be escorted back to her hotel.
