Diddy Accused of Sex Trafficking During 'All-Night Parties'

Diddy is being sued for sex trafficking again, this time by a former porn star who claims she was forced to have sex with people at his parties. Adria English claims Combs threatened to blacklist her and her model boyfriend if she didn't comply with his orders.

In the latest lawsuit filed against disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, former adult film star Adria English alleges he “demanded” her have sex with guests at Combs’ legendary White Parties in the Hamptons after hiring her as a “go-go dancer.”

Adria English, who claims her stage name was Omunique, claims in her filing that she met Diddy around 2004, when her boyfriend was auditioning for a modeling job for Combs’ Sean John line. Early on, English claims that her boyfriend and another model were asked to perform oral sex on Diddy in order to get the job. Her boyfriend declined, but another of Diddy’s associates later offered him the job, on the condition that he ensure Adria would work as a “go-go dancer” at the musician’s upcoming White Party in the Hamptons.

English and her boyfriend agreed, and she worked as a dancer at the party that took place over Labor Day weekend in 2004; the complaint includes photos of her at the event that confirm her attendance. She later worked as a dancer at other parties thrown by Diddy, where she says she was “regularly” required to drink alcohol laced with narcotics “like ecstasy,” and was encouraged to flirt openly with guests.

After attending several parties as a dancer, English claims Diddy “groomed” her for sex trafficking, eventually demanding that she have vaginal sex with Jacob Arabov, better known in hip-hop as Jacob the Jeweler, who is also named as a defendant in the complaint. According to the complaint, English “forced sex” with him, and then received an additional $1,000 above what she was usually paid to dance at Diddy’s parties.

From that point on, Adria claims she was “passed around” to other guests at Diddy’s parties. Her complaint also names Tamiko Thomas as a defendant, a woman she accuses of facilitating Combs’ sex trafficking operation, described as the Ghislaine Maxwell to Diddy’s Jeffrey Epstein.

It is also noted in the file that, once she was forced to have sex with guests, English was provided with a black dress to wear to the parties, rather than the white clothing she had previously worn and that the other guests wore, as was the theme of the party.

“Based on information and beliefs, [English] “She believes she was asked to wear a black dress to the White Party to indicate her status as an employee, but more sinisterly, as a sex worker who was a victim of sex trafficking,” the filing states.

The complaint also alleges that Diddy promised to advance English's career, including helping her join a girl group to break into the music industry. But those promises were accompanied by “urgent demands” and threats to ostracize her and her industry boyfriend if she didn't comply.

Combs' attorney Jonathan Davis said in a press release: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it will not change the fact that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone. We live in a world where anyone can sue for any reason and with no evidence. Fortunately, there is a fair and impartial legal process to uncover the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident that he will prevail against these and other baseless accusations in court.”

English's lawsuit names as co-defendants Combs, his companies Bad Boy Entertainment, Sean John Clothing and Combs Global Enterprises, as well as Tamiko Thomas, Jacob the Jeweler, Vibe Magazine and Penske Media (the parent company of Billboard), in addition to a few dozen employees and anonymous individuals.
