Combs, who is currently in a Brooklyn federal jail cell awaiting a May trial for sexual trafficking and racketeering charges, allegedly often gave Pines a long list of red lighting, drugs, baby oil, sex toys and other products to assemble and stage before the intimate 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.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ former assistant Phil Pines is set to speak for the first time on camera about the blizzard of criminal sexual assault and misconduct allegations against the disgraced music mogul. Investigation Discovery is set to air an exclusive 30-minute sit down interview with Pines, conducted by journalist Mara S. Campo, an expansion of its explosive four-part docuseries The Fall of Diddy that concludes on Tuesday night.

Pines worked as Combs’ senior executive assistant from 2019 to 2021. In a lawsuit filed in December, Pines alleged that Combs tasked him with helping to organize and clean up so-called ‘Wild King Nights’ parties, a series of debauched get-togethers at hotels. Pines alleged that part of his duties working for Combs was to make sure the parties were supplied with drugs, lubricants and sex toys, and he was also told to make sure the hotel rooms were cleaned up of drug paraphernalia, stains...

During a harrowing scene in the upcoming documentary series The Fall of Diddy, former Vibe editor-in-chief Danyel Smith recalls an intense interaction with Sean Combs during which he allegedly threatened to see her “dead in a trunk” if she didn’t show him the magazine’s December 1997/January 1998 issue.

“After the shoot, Mr. Combs wanted to see the covers before they were published,” Smith recalls in the preview of the docuseries, which premieres Jan. 27 and 28 on ID and Max. “It was policy for us not to show the covers to anyone before they were published.

While rap world star Sean “Diddy” Combs long preferred to be seen by his fans as a hustling music and fashion mogul known for glitzy parties and entourages, various victims who remained silent out of fear of retribution say they long saw him as a bullying, dangerous and unaccountable king of hip hop’s underbelly since the 1990s.

That is, until Combs’ arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in September 2024.

The new Investigation Discovery docuseries The Fall of Diddy has drawn from Combs’ inner circle and apparent survivors to offer up a series of allegations of assault, abuse and violence at the hands of the billionaire music and fashion mogul. Those claims about violent behavior and illegal activity against Combs come as he sits behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and awaits his trial.

“There’s a lot of people like Puffy in this music business.

An upcoming ID docuseries, made in partnership with Rolling Stone Films, will investigate the decades-long accusations against Sean Combs, with new testimonials from many of the Bad Boy honcho’s former friends and work colleagues alongside multiple accusers.

On Thursday, ID shared the first trailer for The Fall of Diddy, a multi-part series that premieres on the channel on January 27 and 28; the docuseries will also be available to stream on Max.

During Monday's episode of The View, the co-host addressed allegations that came to light over the weekend, in which a report from The Huffington Post claimed that ABC News executive Barbara Fedida had made offensive comments about her and other on-air talent, including Robin Roberts, Kendis Gibson and Mara Schiavocampo, in the past.  "I think I should say something," Hostin began.

Update, video added Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, addressed a report that a top ABC News executive used derogatory and racist comments about her and other on-air figures.

Hoston said on today’s episode that the report – published in HuffPost on Saturday – “tells me that systemic racism touches everything and everyone in our society. Regardless of social stature, no one is immune. It is the type of racism that black people deal with every single day, and it has to stop.”

ABC News put Barbara Fedida, senior vice president of talent, editorial strategy and business affairs for the network, on administrative leave as an investigation is conducted. ABC News president James Goldston told staffers on Monday that an outside law firm is being retained to conduct the probe.

On Saturday, HuffPost published Yashar Ali’s report that detailed allegations, including one instance in which Fedida referred to Hostin as “low rent.

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin on Monday spoke out about “systemic racism” at ABC News days after network executive Barbara Fedida was placed on leave following a report of insensitive, racist and abusive language used about staffers including Hostin herself.

Hostin then addressed many of the inflammatory comments Fedida detailed in Yashar Ali’s Huffington Post report on Saturday. “Because if true, to reference Robin Roberts — who is one of the most respected and beloved journalists in our country — as ‘picking cotton'; to reference me — someone who’s been very open about having grown up in publicly housing — as being ‘low rent'...

Grocery shopping in the time of coronavirus just got one step more complicated.

According to Dr. Mehmet Oz and his correspondent Mara Schiavocampo, making the harrowing trip to the supermarket is only half the battle. Now, you have to disinfect your groceries, too.

“You know Dr. Oz, this takes me much longer than my normal routine. What you used to take five minutes of unpacking groceries now takes twenty minutes,” Schiavocampo said. “But, food is really the only thing that we are bringing in from the outside and we know that the virus can live on cardboard for up to twenty-four hours, and on plastic, up to two to three days. So I’m taking these precautions very seriously.”

ABC News president Ben Sherwood made it official this morning, announcing Mara Schiavocampo has joined ABC News as a New York-based correspondent. Schiavocampo, who’d been with NBC since 2007, becoming Early Today anchor in ’10 and also anchoring MSNBC’s First Look, left that network in December.

One day earlier, George Stephanopoulos announced on This Week that Bill Kristol, the editor and publisher of The Weekly Standard, had joined ABC News as a contributor. Kristol’s decade-long contributor relationship with Fox News ended last summer — owing to a cooling of his relationship with Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, or rather because Fnc made a lot of changes and no longer needed his services and there was no cooling at all, depending on your source. From ABC News president Ben Sherwood’s note to staff about Schiavocampo: Mara...

The problems with Obamacare's rollout, both real and imagined, have given Republicans the luxury of not having to answer any questions about the law. On Up with Steve Kornacki this weekend, NBC News correspondent Mara Schiavocampo did ask a Republican the question that every reporter, pre-and-post-rollout, should be asking every Republican about the law, but almost never do: "If Obamacare is not the right way (to reform health care), what is your alternative?"...
