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, with TMZ sharing an alleged pic of her at the star-studded party in 2004.
Per the outlet, English claimed she 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 all changed after Combs allegedly demanded she sleep with jeweler Jacob Arabov, who is also listed as a defendant in the suit, per TMZ.
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.
TMZ reports that English is also suing Tamiko Thomas, a woman the former adult film star 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 allegedly stopped working for the Bad Boy Records exec after five years, English claimed Combs made good on his threats and ruined any chance she had in the music industry.
English claimed she also suffered emotional trauma, such as intimacy issues and painful memories, as a result of the alleged sex trafficking.
She is seeking unspecified damages.
