Sean “Diddy” Combs’ chief of staff may know the secrets behind his alleged sex crimes empire and could eventually become a key witness in the sprawling federal sex crimes investigation, a source said.
Kristina Khorram – once ‘the Ghislaine Maxwell of [Diddy’s] Jeffrey Epstein has not been accused of any wrongdoing or crime.
However, several “high-ranking supervisors” are mentioned, but their names are not mentioned in the indictment against the rapper.
“If anyone is the gatekeeper, it’s Kristina who knows everything,” a source said The New York Post. ‘Kristina might want to cooperate. If she’s smart, she will be.’
Combs, 54, was arrested Tuesday and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.
Khorram, who has been called Diddy’s “chief manipulator,” was a key member of his team during the period in which his alleged crimes took place.

Combs once called Khorram his “right hand woman.” In a civil lawsuit filed against Combs by music producer Lil Rod, she was compared to the infamous Madam Maxwell.
Sources previously told DailyMail.com that at least five executives close to Combs have been advised to “explore their options” because “they will not be protected by shareholders if allegations surface.”
Khorram joined Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment in 2013 and became a manager at Combs Enterprises.
Her now-deleted LinkedIn profile shows she was appointed Combs’ chief of staff in 2020.
“She has been my right hand for the past 8 years and has consistently proven that she can execute and get things done. I don’t know how I would function without her,” Combs wrote in a 2021 Facebook post.
According to the lawsuit, the rapper relied on “certain employees” to “perform, facilitate, and cover up his abusive and commercial sex activities.” [ring].

Combs was charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
The document states that these “high-level supervisors” helped organize what Combs allegedly called “freak-offs” as drug-fueled sexual performances.
Lil Rod alleged in his lawsuit that Khorram, along with another Combs employee, Steve J., helped recruit people for these sessions.
He further alleged that Khorram ordered staff to carry a bag full of drugs for Combs.
He said the employee “knowingly and willingly participated in, aided, abetted and facilitated a sex trafficking operation” and alleged she was “instrumental” in orchestrating the alleged operation.
Combs’ team dismissed Lil Rod’s lawsuit as “pure fiction” and has asked for it to be dismissed.
Attorney Erica Wolff previously called the case “a shameless attempt to create media hype and force a quick settlement.”
“Mr. Jones was not threatened, manipulated, attacked or trafficked. We look forward to proving – in a court of law – that all of Mr. Jones’ claims are fabricated and must be dismissed,” she said.
Combs was jailed on Tuesday and a judge denied his request for bail despite the star offering $50 million.

According to the charges against him, he coerced and abused women for years, and used blackmail and shocking acts of violence to keep his victims in line.
It indirectly refers to an attack on his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, which was captured on video.
“Mr. Combs is a fighter. He’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent,” his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said after the trial. He said he would appeal the bail decision.
The Bad Boy Records founder is accused of hitting, punching, dragging, throwing objects and kicking women, and allegedly enlisting his personal assistants, security guards and housekeepers to help him cover it up.
Assistant District Attorney Emily Johnson told the court that Combs “physically and sexually abused victims for decades.”
“He used the vast resources of his company to facilitate his abuse and cover up his crimes. Simply put, he is a serial abuser and a serial obstructer,” she said, adding that he had “an extensive and exhaustive history of obstruction of justice,” including alleged bribery and witness intimidation.
Agnifilo acknowledged that Combs was “not a perfect person.” He used drugs and had been in “toxic relationships,” but he received treatment and therapy.
“The evidence in this case is extremely problematic,” the lawyer told the court.

He argued that the case arose from a long-term, consensual relationship that ended due to infidelity.
He did not name the woman, but the details matched those of Combs’ decade-long relationship with Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura.
The ‘Freak Offs’, Agnifilo argued, were an extension of that relationship, not coercive.
“Is it sex trafficking? Not if everyone wants to be involved,” said Agnifilo, who alleged that authorities were interfering in his client’s private life.
However, prosecutors said in court documents that they have interviewed more than 50 victims and witnesses and expect that number to increase.
They said they would use financial records, travel and billing information, electronic records and communications, and videos from the “Freak Offs” to prove their case.
