Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The
Diddy Diaries. In this episode, we're going to pick up
where we left off with the Rolling Stone article from
the previous episode. Pines himself claims that he had an
encounter with Combs that would haunt him. During one party,
as attendees began to dwindle, Combs instructed Pines to set
the vibe up in his room, which Pine says he
understood to be preparation for a wild King Knight. It
felt like this was a normal thing, he says in
the series, but that turned very quickly. A wildly intoxicated
Colmbs summoned Pines up to his room and had him
take a shot with the group. Pine's recalls. Then Colmbs
called him up a second time, Pine says, encouraging him
to take another shot. He's out of his mind at
this point. Pine says, in the fall of Ditty, I
remember hearing the words prove your loyalty to me, King.
He grabbed me by the shoulders, gave me a quick
massage like a coach would give a player that's about
to enter the game, and handed me a condom. Pushed
me to a girl that was on the couch again,
and honestly, it sounds typical for what we've heard previously
about what's going on at these parties right now, as
far as mister Pines goes, obviously he was coerced into this.
According to him, nothing that he was consenting to. And
in that ground in the middle is where this war
is going to be waged between mister Pines and Didy.
Was it consensual or was it coerced? And that's the
ongoing theme throughout all of this, right did he is
saying that all of this stuff was between consenting adults
and the people who were accusing him or saying something
completely different. Pine says that he froze in that moment
but ultimately acquiesced out of fear. Is this fun for him?
Is this a test? He recalls thinking. He says he
made sure that the woman was okay, and he got
her consent, then engaged in sex with her for a
short time before abruptly leaving the room. No one knows
what it feels like to be in that situation, Pines
explains in the episode, I heard about previous employees getting
physically assaulted. I saw how angry and upset he could
get from the most simplest thing, and I just thought
to myself, if I don't do this, I don't know
what's going to happen. I had a great sense of
remorse following that situation right from the jump. Although Pine
says he wanted to tell someone about what happened, he
felt trapped. There was so much at stake. He says
in the special, my job could be in jeopardy. This
was COVID jobs weren't coming across your desk every day.
Planning for the Turks and ca Cow's trip dominated his schedule.
Pines describes having tunnel vision, needing to compartmentalize his feelings
in order to solder on with his job. He has
the ability to make you feel like his world comes first,
Pine tells Rolling Stone, even if it's at your expense,
his needs and his life come before yours. Well, I
think that's pretty typical with anybody in Hollywood, anyone famous.
If you're getting hired on to be an assistant for
one of these dudes, you better be ready. They're gonna
run you ragged, and they're gonna have all kinds of
crazy expectations. Now, nobody should be expected to do what
mister pines Is is alleging he had to do. But
the other stuff, Yeah, you're basically a slave, right, You're
gonna do whatever it is these dudes want you to do.
Go pick this up, Go pick that up. Make sure
I have this, make sure I have that. The whole thing.
This has been very difficult for me to put on
full display because of the reaction to it. Referring to
the physical and mental toll to coming forward. As a man,
you're taught to endure a little bit more to maintain
your masculinity, but for me, it's bigger than that, because
mental health is not gender based. And this is the
problem a lot of men run into. Right. They don't
want to come forward and talk about being abused because
of the stigma, so they'll just live with it in silence.
I mean, what dude wants to be out here talking
about something like this, right, let's just be real. So
it's difficult for men to come forward, and these predators, well,
they know it. Pines Is among at least a dozen
people who have filed lawsuits a legend Combs preyed on
them over the past eight years. It was a period
after the Hotel Hallway assault in colmb's transition to his
Brother Love era, when he was projecting a more family
friendly image. Just like Disneyland, Folks fun for the whole family.
Let's go visit Uncle Puffy, said nobody ever. In total,
more than forty lawsuits have been filed against Combs since
late twenty twenty three, the vast majority accusing him of
sexual misconduct. Colmb's team issued abroad denial of all the claims,
as we have repeatedly said, it's unfortunate that anyone can
file a complaint even without proof. They said, Oh yeah,
I'm sure there's no proof here. That's why you were
just hit with a superseded indictment, zero proof whatsoever that
you were out here diddling and molesting people. The new
accusers say that they were lured during this period to hotels,
business meetings, and parties in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami,
where they were allegedly handed spike drinks or forced to
take pills that caused them to lose consciousness. Some say
they met Comb's only one time, during a chance encounter
that would upend their lives. Others say they were with Combs,
while a few detailed relationships that went back years, And
for me, the biggest takeaway is all the people that
have known Ditty for all these years that have come
forward with these allegations. And when people close to you
coming forward and saying this sort of thing, well, I'm
listening to what they have to say. Right, It's not
just like a bunch of people are coming out of
the woodwork. Remember a lot of these people that are
accusing Diddy are doing so with their name behind the accusation,
and these are the people that have worked with them
in some capacity throughout the years. For Nicole, who met
Combs in twenty twenty, a four year romantic relationship began,
as many do, with Combs showering her with sentimental gifts.
The couple binge, watched Dayline episodes and attended church together
on Sundays. At first, when news of Ventura's loss, who
Broke and subsequent lawsuits began rolling in, it was hard
for Nicole to digest the version of Combs that was
making headlines. He wasn't this all bad person, she explains.
He was very sweet. We talked about real life stuff,
about my childhood and his childhood. But deep down, Nicole
Tell's rolling Stone, she knew shades of the Combs that
others were describing, the man who could turn the monic
on vendors and would test, push, and flat out break
her boundaries. He would always take it to a point
that I was fearful for my life, she says. And
this is another ongoing theme, right how many people that
have spent time with Diddy in a romantic way have
come forward with the same story. It was all good
at first, but as things progressed, Dude became increasingly unstable
and more violent. The model and entrepreneur alleged us that
Colmbs had a controlling side, telling her that she couldn't
post certain things on social media and discouraging her from working. Instead,
Combs insisted on paying her an allowance to keep her
at his beck and call her. Lawsuit claims she was
expected to drop everything if Combs wanted her, and if
she resisted, Combs and his staffers would use coercive and
harassing language to can tell her to comply her pseudal edges.
One time, Nicole says she was adamant she couldn't make
a sudden trip to see him, only to receive a
flurry of calls from a Comb staffer imagine being that pedantic.
Oh yeah, she won't come see me, So I'm gonna
have my staffer caller one hundred and fifty five times.
Here's an idea, dude, stop get help. But it comes
back to the same thing time and time again with
people like Diddy, and that is they're not used to
being told no. They get everything they want. Nobody ever
stands in their way. So when somebody finally steps up
to them and says, look, that's not gonna happen. I'm
not down with that, then it becomes a big thing.
He has to unleash the hounds. Right, let me send
my people over, my goon squad to go and rougher
up to go in, you know, coercer to come back.
I just ignored the phone call, she said. Then the
next thing, you know, the driver is outside of my door,
ringing my doorbell. I ended up giving in and going
the next day. Gradually, Combs began pressuring her to add
other people to their sexual encounter. Nicole's lawsuit claims it
seemed innocent enough at first. Colmbs allegedly questioned if she'd
be interested in having a threesome with the man. I
thought it was a test of my loyalty to him,
Nicole explains, assuming he wanted her to reject the suggestion,
but Colmbs reassured her that it was okay if she
wanted to be with other men. Despite Nicole's repeated insistence
that she wasn't interested, She says, Colmbs would continually bring
up the subject with her. I feel like maybe he
was grooming me to do things sexually with him, she says.
And that's exactly what that process is, grooming people to
normalize this sort of behavior so they engage in it.
That scumbag trafficker one oh one. Nicole's visits with Combs
would almost always include what she described as performing a
show for him. Nicole claims Combs would want to take
ecstasy together before she would have to code herself in
warmed baby oil, similar to what Ventura alleged in her
own lawsuit. Imagine you're here getting, you know, physical with somebody,
and they're like, hold up, let me oil you up
like a Thanksgiving turkey real quick before we continue on
our escapades. Like what what are you even talking about
right now? Take that baby oil and shove at homie.
Although social media ran rampant with jokes, about prosecutors seizing
one thousand bottles of baby oil from combs properties. Nicole
explains Combs was serious about using it during sex. They
could easily go through an entire bottle in less than
five minutes. She says, Yo, how does that even happen?
How do you need to use a whole ass bottle
of baby oil in five minutes? Like? What exactly is
it that you're doing? The sexual activity could go on
for hours, and Combs would apply her with alcohol and
substances until she passed out. Her lawsuit claims, upon waking up,
Nicole would find herself covered in bruises with little memory
of the night before. She claims that after one meeting
in spring of twenty twenty two, she woke up to
find a bite mark on her heel and her feet
a purplish color, a bite mark on her foot. What
sort of feral ass behavior is going on? That somebody's
biting your foot? She says that she knew better than
to push back against certain sexual requests. I feel like
the devil that would come out of him was during
these turn up times, Nicole explains, alluding to Colmbs alleged
to every drinking and drug use. It would be like
a switch. We would be having so much fun, and
then there's like a time when he's just taken it
too far drug wise, that he wants exactly what he wants.
He's never put his hands on me, Nicole says, denying
any violence like what Ventura described, but I knew that
he was capable of it. There were other moments when
Colmbs allegedly violated her boundaries. She claims in her lawsuit
that in April twenty twenty two, while she was staying
with Combs at his Los Angeles mansion, he had sex
with her without her consent. A few months later, in July,
Combs allegedly forced her to take a drug that she
now believes was ketamine. Throughout the ensuing night, Nicole says
she lost consciousness intermittently before she blacked out, Well, yeah,
if you're taking K, you could hit something called a
K hole and forget it. You're still kind of luciden
with it, but you really can't move your body. So
it's the perfect drug for people like Diddy to use. Later,
Nicole says she learned she was pregnant but ended up miscarrying,
leading her to take a month's long break from her relationship.
Colmb's representatives declined to respond on the record when sent
a detailed list of questions regarding Nicole's allegations. Colmbs lured
her back into dating again by late twenty twenty two,
but Nicole says she was growing increasingly wary. She says
the final time she saw Colmbs was the July twenty
twenty four incident involving the two alleged force pills. Once again,
she claims, Colmbs allegedly asked her about inviting over a man.
He was in a state of desperation, Nichole says, both
begging and insisting that the next time they were together
she would find a man to bring into the bedroom.
I was in and out of consciousness that night, she said,
but I do remember. I was just like, I'm just
gonna say yes, so he leaves me alone and I'm
never coming back. I Am never coming back after this.
She awoke the next morning feeling sick and having limited
memory of what had happened, noting the bedroom was in
a complete state of disarray. It was the final straw.
She bided her time until she felt she could leave safely,
avoiding colmbs calls in the following weeks, when Colms began
messaging her again from New York, Nicole says she had
a sinking feeling that Colmes was going to try to
make her deliver on the agreement she made under duress.
I feel like he was trying to get me to
facilitate it, because then now I'm not a victim, she says,
I'm the doer. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up
right here, and in the next episode, we're gonna pick
up where we left off. All of the information that
