Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sued again over alleged sex trafficking
Another woman has come forward claiming Sean “Diddy” Combs “groomed” her into sex trafficking.
In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Wednesday, Adria English claimed she first met the disgraced rapper in 2004 after her then-boyfriend auditioned for a Sean John modeling gig.
English claimed her partner and another model were asked to perform oral sex on Combs in order to get the job — which they allegedly refused.
Despite their alleged refusal, English claimed her partner was given a second chance if she agreed to work as a “go-go dancer” at Diddy’s white party in the Hamptons that year.
English, who formerly worked as a porn star under the stage name Omunique, accepted the alleged offer. TMZ obtained a photo of her allegedly at the star-studded party in 2004.
English allegedly began working Combs’ parties on a more regular basis, where she was allegedly expected to flirt with guests and drink alcoholic beverages laced with narcotics like ecstasy.
While she allegely didn’t have sex with guests at first, she claimed that changed after Combs allegedly demanded she sleep with jeweler Jacob Arabov, who is also listed as a defendant in the suit.
After allegedly having “forced sexual intercourse” with Arabov, she claimed Combs congratulated her and paid her an additional $1,000.
However, English alleged that it wasn’t a one time thing, claiming the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper expected her to be “passed off” to other people.
She claimed to have been sexually assaulted by several other people, whom she did not name in the lawsuit.
English is also suing Tamiko Thomas, a woman she claimed facilitated the music producer’s alleged sex trafficking operation. She likened Thomas to Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offenses in 2021 in connection with now-deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
English claimed she worked for Combs under the impression that he would help advance her career in music. However, she alleged that he used her career aspirations against her with threats to blackball her from the industry.
Although she stopped working for the Bad Boy Records exec after five years, English claimed he made good on his threats and ruined any chance she had in the music industry.
English claimed she suffered emotional trauma such as intimacy issues and painful memories as a result of the alleged sex trafficking.
She is seeking unspecified damages.
Reps for Combs did not immediately respond to our request for comment.
English is the eighth person to file a lawsuit against the “I Need a Girl” rapper in the last nine months.
In November 2023, Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura opened the floodgates when she accused him of rape and abuse during their nearly 10-year romance.
Soon after, severl other people came forward with claims of sexual assault — including his former producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones.
Jones claimed the music mogul repeatedly sexually assaulted him and would allegedly grope his genitals and touch his anus to groom him into having sex.
Combs has denied all the accusations levied against him.
In May it was reported that federal prosecutors were preparing to bring Combs’ accusers in front of a grand jury, indicating that the US Justice Department would be moving toward seeking an indictment against him.
