Adria English, a former adult star, has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging sex trafficking and other abuses during his notorious parties.
Former adult star sues Diddy over alleged sex trafficking
Detailed in a TMZ exclusive, English claims that Diddy hired her to have sex with attendees at his parties and threatened to blacklist her and her boyfriend if they didn’t comply.
The lawsuit details how English first met Diddy in 2004 when her boyfriend was auditioning for a modelling gig with Sean John.
English alleges that her boyfriend and another model were asked to perform sexual acts on Diddy to secure the job.
When they refused, a Diddy associate offered her boyfriend another chance, provided that English worked as a go-go dancer at Diddy’s infamous white party in the Hamptons.
According to the lawsuit, English attended the party over Labor Day weekend in 2004 and subsequently worked at other Diddy-hosted events.
She claimed that she was coerced into drinking alcohol laced with narcotics like ecstasy and encouraged to flirt with guests.
Initially, English did not engage in sexual activities with the guests but asserts that Diddy “groomed” her into sex trafficking over time.
One of the most disturbing allegations involves Diddy demanding that she have sex with “Jacob the Jeweller” Jacob Arabov, after which she was paid an additional $1,000 on top of her usual fee for working the parties.
The lawsuit also names Tamiko Thomas, who English accuses of facilitating Diddy’s sex trafficking operation.
Who is Adria English?
Adria English is a former adult film actress who gained notoriety in the early 2000s under the stage name Omunique.
She entered the public eye recently with her lawsuit against Diddy, where she has shared harrowing details of her experiences at his parties.
English claims that Diddy promised to advance her career, including helping her join a girl group to break into the music industry.
However, these promises were accompanied by forceful demands and threats to blackball her and her boyfriend if they did not comply with his wishes.
What has Diddy said about the Adria English lawsuit?
As of now, Diddy has not publicly commented on the latest lawsuit filed by Adria English.
However, this case adds to a growing list of legal troubles for the Bad Boy Records founder.
He is currently facing a series of lawsuits and a federal investigation related to allegations of abusive behaviour, rape, assault, and other violent acts.
These accusations have significantly damaged Diddy’s reputation, with former employees from his brands Sean John and Blue Flame also describing a toxic work environment marked by his erratic and violent behavior.
Despite the serious allegations and potential federal charges, Diddy has attempted to maintain a sense of normalcy, as evidenced by his recent white-water rafting trip in Wyoming.
This recent lawsuit by English, however, is likely to intensify the legal scrutiny and public pressure on the hip-hop mogul.
