members have spoken out about their experiences working for Combs. As per a report of BBC, summarized by the Mirror, the staffers alleged volatile atmosphere, mind games, and unusual requests.
For instance, a voice note allegedly sent by Combs to an employee WhatsApp group in 2020, revealed his attitude towards transparency.

Senior executive assistant Phil Pines, who worked for Combs from 2019 to 2021, described his onboarding experience. He claimed Combs didn't speak to him for 30 days when he took on the job and said it was "like an initiation".
Another assistant offered a stark assessment of Combs' behavior. "He was a very ill man with different behaviours, sometimes very aggressive, sometimes very sweet."
Staff members also shared accounts of Combs allegedly playing mind games. An assistant, known as 'Ethan', recounted an incident where Combs threw his ring into the Atlantic Ocean. He said Combs told him to go in the water and get it. Ethan said he did jump in to rescue it, despite being at a formal event.
Another incident involved Pines allegedly being summoned to Combs' residence after midnight. He was asked to fetch a TV remote from under the bed while Combs was with a female guest.
Combs allegedly told the woman, "See? He is loyal and now he can go back home."
Text exchanges revealed preparations for events described as 'Wild King Night'. In a text exchange seen by the BBC, chief of staff Kristina Khorram allegedly told Pines a bag needed to be ready in two hours for a 'Wild King Night'. She allegedly asked for a "drop off" of seven bottles of baby oil and seven bottles of Astroglide lubricant alongside iced vanilla lattes.
On September 13, 2021 Khorram allegedly text Pines: "Wild king hotel night tonight. Prep bag - you will be going to set up a hotel in like next 2hrs."
Another alleged text message, sent on December 28, 2019, reads: "PD said he's going to need emergency clean up at the hotel once they leave and come to house. "Also he is starving - there is set aside chicken and shrimp creole and rice in the fridge for him."
In another alleged message, sent in November 2021, Khorram text Pines: "Hey! PD still in hotel, but when you get to mapleton he asked if you could bring him stain remover (for a chair and couch) and black trash bags. And baking soda too he said. And a hairdryer lol."
Another message in November 2021 read, "Hey! PD needs a drop off the following please:
-4 of those young coconuts
-2 Alfred's iced vanilla lattes (whole milk, extra syrup)
-7 bottles baby oil
-7 bottles astroglide
-his Apple TV."
Staff members have also alleged that Combs' drugs would travel with him internationally. They were allegedly concealed in a safe onboard his £45m private jet.
Pines claimed, "Even if it was for a day trip, if he was going on the yacht for four hours, take all that stuff with you because he may use it."
He claimed mushrooms, ketamine and ecstasy were kept in a Gucci bag alongside baby oil, lubricant and red lights.

5 shows to watch this weekend that will take you to alien worlds
Alien worlds are a great way to indulge in those 'what if' questions and watchers get a chance to see how different life could look with just a twist of imagination. Watching a new planet unfold on screen with its strange landscapes and unfamiliar skies is the great escape. We selected some TV shows that help us escape from the daily grunt of life. These shows let you wander through alien cities, trek across wild terrain, and meet life forms that push the limits of what feels possible. Here are five series that do exactly that, each one serving up a fresh escape for anyone who's ever wondered what might be waiting out there, just beyond the next star. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount Plus) This show is a real treat for anyone who loves classic sci-fi exploration. Following Captain Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise, it's a fresh take that still honours the original spirit. The planets they visit look stunning, from dense alien jungles to icy wastelands and mysterious cities. Each episode feels like a new world, with detailed environments that make the galaxy feel vast and alive. Season 3, which came out recently, keeps pushing the boundaries with its visuals that will make you wish you had a spaceship. For All Mankind (Apple TV+) This alternate history series imagines a world where the space race never stopped, and the results are impressive. The show's depiction of Mars colonies and orbital stations is grounded in real science but doesn't skimp on imagination. The alien terrain on Mars looks both harsh and beautiful. It's a slower burn compared to some, but the visuals and world-building reward patience, making it easy to get drawn into this vision of humanity's future in space. The Expanse (Prime Video) Even though the show ended recently, it remains one of the best examples of detailed world-building in sci-fi. The solar system feels lived-in, gritty, and real, from the dusty asteroid belt to the frozen moons of Jupiter. The mix of political drama and alien technology, especially around the protomolecule, is definitely worth sitting through. The planets and stations are characters in their own right, each with a unique atmosphere and feel. 3 Body Problem (Netflix) Based on the celebrated Chinese sci-fi novels, this series offers something a little different, alien worlds that are strange, complex, and sometimes unsettling. The visual effects bring to life advanced civilisations and cosmic phenomena that feel truly alien. What would you do if you found out an alien civilisation was coming to obliterate your planet, but they're still too far in space and are now dropping clues? It's a cerebral show, with a focus on big ideas and epic scale, and the alien environments reflect that - looking both beautiful and mysterious in equal measure. Alien: Earth (FX) This one isn't out yet but is highly anticipated. It's a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien films and promises a darker, more atmospheric take on extraterrestrial life. While much of the story is set on Earth, there are glimpses of alien tech and environments. Expect intense creature design and moody visuals that stay true to the franchise's horror roots while expanding the universe. These shows show alien worlds in ways that make those places feel real and inviting, strange and sometimes dangerous. Whether it's the hopeful exploration of Strange New Worlds or the gritty realism of The Expanse, there's plenty here to satisfy anyone looking to escape to the stars for a weekend binge.

Weekend Binge: From Padmaavat To 83, Ranveer Singh's Top 5 Films To Revisit On His Birthday
New Delhi: Ranveer Singh turns a year older on July 6, 2025. This year, the day will be all the more special since it's his first birthday as a father. Deepika Padukone and he welcomed their first child, daughter Dua, last year. From his memorable Bollywood debut with Band Baaja Baaraat to bagging the titular character in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, Ranveer has indeed come a long way. In his career spanning decades, Ranveer Singh has struck the right chord with fans. He impressed viewers as the charming conman Ricky Bahl in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. On the other hand, he evoked a myriad of emotions among audiences with his layered performance in Simmba. On Ranveer Singh's birthday, we have curated a list of his top 5 films that you should revisit: Lootera - (2013) Prime Video Ranveer Singh's performance in this Vikramaditya Motwane directorial is touted as one of his finest, alongside Sonakshi Sinha. His character Varun Srivastav was a striking departure from his quintessential flamboyant on-screen persona. Ranveer's quiet sensitivity and transformation from a sly conman to a man riddled with guilt and love left a lasting impression. Bajirao Mastani - (2015) Apple TV Ranveer Singh did justice to the valiant Maratha ruler Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical drama. He commanded attention with his fiery intensity and regal charm, balancing a warrior's bravado and the vulnerability of a man deeply in love. His powerful dialogue, ' Cheete ki chaal, baaz ki nazar aur Bajirao ki talvaar par sandeh nahi karte, kabhi bhi maat de sakti hai" lives in our minds rent-free. Padmaavat - (2018) YouTube Proving his versatility again, Ranveer Singh slipped into the shoes of an antagonist in Padmaavat. As the tyrannical ruler Alauddin Khilji, smitten by Deepika Padukone's Queen Padmavati, Ranveer brought a visceral and disturbing intensity to his character. His expressions, maniacal laughter and remorseless cruelty sent shivers down our spine. Gully Boy - (2019) - Prime Video Gully Boy is perhaps one of Ranveer Singh's career-defining movies. He played the role of Murad, a budding street rapper with absolute conviction. The actor embodied a raw ambition with emotional complexity. Ranveer's nuanced performance as someone rising from Mumbai's slums earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. 83 - (2021) Netflix Ranveer Singh breathed life into his role as the cricket legend Kapil Dev in this heart-warming biographical sports drama directed by Kabir Khan. With his on-point appearance, applaud-worthy bowling action and pitch-perfect Haryanvi accent, the actor transformed into the iconic captain who led India to its first World Cup in 1983.

‘Came for food, met with bullets': Former Gaza humanitarian aid guard accuses foundation of violence
On a blistering afternoon in southern Gaza, a group of women, children, and elderly people were walking for miles, barefoot, just to get a chance to collect food. Instead, they were fired upon without warning. According to a former security contractor who worked for the US-Israel backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), told the BBC, he watched guards open fire on civilians who posed no danger. He says he saw a man get shot and collapse, then heard fellow contractors laugh and say, 'Damn, I think you got one.' 'These were hungry people, walking with kids. We were supposed to protect them, not treat them like animals,' he said. The former security contractor worked across all four GHF distribution sites in Gaza. His testimony paints a mortifying picture of what the aid operation really looks like. On the other hand, the GHF has denied allegations, calling them categorically false. The organisation said no civilians were ever shot at and described the whistleblower as a 'disgruntled former contractor' who was dismissed for misconduct. But, the man denies this and has shown the BBC documents to support his claim that he left on good terms. The GHF began operating in Gaza in late May after an 11-week complete blockade, during which Israel allowed no food or aid into the territory. The foundation claims to have delivered over 52 million meals in five weeks. Israel and the US support the initiative as a way to bypass Hamas and provide direct aid to civilians. But critics say the model forces thousands of desperate people to trek across active conflict zones to a small number of centralised aid sites. The contractor described a dangerous, dehumanising work culture that lacked training and rules of engagement. Guards were asked to shoot if they felt threatened: 'If you feel threatened, shoot — shoot to kill and ask questions later.' The man recounted several incidents where guards fired live rounds into crowds. One involved a guard firing from a watchtower at a group of civilians mostly women and elderly people because they weren't moving away from the site fast enough. 'When I told management, they brushed it off,' he said. He added, 'They said maybe the man tripped. Maybe he was tired. It was like they didn't care.' The GHF says any gunfire heard on-site came from Israeli military forces, not its own staff. But the contractor says each site had CCTV surveillance and the company would have footage confirming the violence. He further added that people were sprayed directly in the face with mace. Others were pushed into razor wire fences and some were hit with stun grenades or injured in stampedes triggered by panic. The GHF often referred to the Palestinians as 'zombie hordes', suggesting they were less than human, not worthy of care or compassion. The security contractor's testimony comes as international pressure mounts against the GHF. This week, more than 170 aid organisations including Oxfam, Save the Children, and Médecins Sans Frontières have called for the foundation to be shut down. In a joint statement, they said Israeli forces and armed groups 'routinely' open fire on Palestinians seeking aid and that the GHF structure itself contributes to the danger. UN officials and Gaza-based doctors report that since the GHF began operations, over 400 Palestinians have been killed while attempting to access food from its distribution points. The GHF rejects these numbers and says it is doing what other organisations cannot which is delivering aid without it being looted or seized by Hamas. Israel supports the foundation as a mechanism to provide secure aid and insists its military does not deliberately target civilians collecting food. The GHF controversy is unfolding against the backdrop of a deepening catastrophe in Gaza. Israel launched its military campaign after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. In response, Israel has conducted an intense air and ground offensive that, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, has killed at least 57,130 people. Two million residents now face famine-like conditions. Many have been displaced multiple times, forced to live in tents, often with no clean water, power, or medical care. For many, food aid is the only hope of survival and even that has become a deadly gamble.
