Could Diddy’s Chief of Staff, Dubbed His ‘Ghislaine Maxwell,’ Be Key Witness for the Prosecution?
As Sean “Diddy” Combs faces serious allegations, a woman at the center of his orbit is making headlines.
Could Combs Enterprises chief of staff Kristina Khorram be the key witness in the prosecution’s case?
Combs was arrested on Monday for alleged racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy entered a not guilty plea in court yesterday. He’s currently in custody but appealing the decision to keep him behind bars.
Khorram was not named in the indictment and isn’t facing any charges. She has not responded to “Extra’s” request for comment.
There is speculation, however, she could end up at the center of the case. A source tells Page Six, “If anybody is gatekeeper, Kristina would know everything. “Kristina might be cooperative. At least if she's smart she will be.”

Combs lawyer Erica Wolff previously told USA Today in a statement, "Mr. Jones' lawsuit is pure fiction — a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement. There was no RICO conspiracy and 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.”
