Sean “Diddy” Combs is once again in the legal spotlight, facing a new lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking. According to a report by TMZ, the music mogul allegedly coerced a former adult film actress into engaging in sexual activities with guests at his parties and threatened to ruin her career and that of her male partner if they did not comply.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, was brought forth by Adria English, also known by her adult film stage name Omunique. English claims that Diddy groomed her into becoming a sex trafficking victim while she was working as a “go-go dancer” at his annual white party nearly two decades ago.

English alleges that she first met Diddy in 2004 when her boyfriend, Anthony Gallo, was auditioning for a modeling job with Sean John, Diddy’s fashion company. According to court documents, Adria claims that the relationship with Diddy quickly became intimate. She further alleges that Gallo and another model were propositioned to engage in oral sex with Diddy as a condition to secure the job. Gallo declined the offer but was later given another opportunity when an associate of Diddy’s offered him the job on the condition that Adria would work as a go-go dancer at Diddy’s upcoming white party in the Hamptons.
Both Adria and her boyfriend agreed to the terms, and she worked at the party during Labor Day weekend in 2004, as evidenced by photos included in the lawsuit. English continued to work at other parties hosted by Diddy, where she claims she was given alcohol laced with drugs like ecstasy and encouraged to flirt with guests. While she initially did not engage in sexual activities, she alleges that Diddy gradually manipulated her into sex trafficking.
The lawsuit details a harrowing account of how English was forced into sex with guests at subsequent parties. During one such event, she was instructed to wear a black dress, which she believes signaled to others that she was a “sex trafficked sex worker.” English claims she was coerced into having sex with prominent jeweler Jacob Arabov, known as Jacob the Jeweler. After the incident, Diddy allegedly congratulated her for complying with his directives and rewarded her with an extra $1,000 in addition to her usual earnings.
English also alleges that she was “passed off” to other individuals at Diddy’s parties, where she suffered further sexual assaults. In addition to Diddy, she is suing Tamiko Thomas, who she accuses of organizing Diddy’s sex trafficking operation, along with Bad Boy Entertainment and Jacob the Jeweler.
English claims the alleged sex trafficking has caused her significant emotional trauma, including intimacy issues and painful memories. She is seeking unspecified damages in the lawsuit.
Diddy has faced numerous lawsuits related to allegations of sex trafficking and abuse since last November when R&B singer Cassie sued him for allegedly raping and physically abusing her. Although that case was quickly settled, it has opened the floodgates for other accusers to come forward.
In response to English’s lawsuit, Diddy’s lawyer Jonathan Davis released a statement to Fox News vehemently denying the allegations. “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone,” Davis said. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any proof. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court.”
As the legal proceedings unfold, the music mogul’s reputation continues to be scrutinized under the weight of these serious allegations.
