Investigators believe embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs had his own Ghislaine Maxwell pulling the strings of his alleged sex trafficking ring.
Her name is Kristina Khorram.
The 54-year-old hip hop impresario has called Khorram — Chief of Staff at Combs Enterprises — his “right hand”. But like Maxwell who orchestrated the sex trafficking of underage girls for her boyfriend, Jeffrey Epstein, Khorram was a little bit more.
The source said: “If anybody is gatekeeper, Kristina would know everything.”
Diddy was hammered with a three-count federal indictment charging him with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution by Homeland Security investigators. The feds hinted that “high-ranking” members of his organization are also being investigated.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty. However, a New York judge torpedoed his $50 million bail bid and he remains in the slammer. So far, Khorram has not been arrested or charged.
The federal indictment said that the celebrity used his employees to “carry out, facilitate and cover up his abuse and commercial sex [ring].”
The source added: “[The Feds] have gotten evidence from a lot of sources – recordings, text messages – names, texts from Kristina Khorram.”
According to the Post, Khorram joined Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment as a senior executive in 2013 and eventually became one of his managers as the “director, office of the chairman” of Combs Enterprises.
She became chief of staff in 2020. Sources said Khorram was integral to Combs’ operations.
Rapper Lil Red in February said: “[Khorram was] Ghislaine Maxwell to Sean Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein.”
Diddy sang Khorram’s praises in 2021 in a Facebook posting. The rapper wrote: “She’s been my right hand for the last 8 years and has consistently proven to execute and get s***t done. Don’t know how I’d function without her.”
Indeed. Lil Rod claimed in his lawsuit that Khorram, 37, “ordered sex workers” for her boss and organized the Freak Out events. In addition, Lil Rod said Diddy’s domestic help was required to carry fanny packs loaded with drugs for the boss.
The suit added: “[Khorram] knowingly and intentionally participated in, perpetrated, assisted, supported, and facilitated a sex-trafficking Venture. [She was] instrumental in organizing and executing the [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] enterprise.”
Lil Rod’s lawsuit remains before the courts but Diddy’s legal eagles have asked for it to be tossed.
“Mr. Jones’ lawsuit is pure fiction — a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement … Mr. Jones was not threatened, groomed, assaulted, or trafficked. We look forward to proving – in a court of law – that all of Mr. Jones’s claims are made-up and must be dismissed,” lawyer Erica Wolff told USA Today in August.
The question now is whether the hyper-loyal Khorram will turn canary for the feds as they build their case against Combs.
The source said: “Kristina might be cooperative. At least if she’s smart she will be.”
