A former adult film actress named Adria English has taken legal action against the well-known American hip-hop icon, Sean “Diddy” Combs. She claims that he coerced her into s3x trafficking at his popular gatherings and threatened to harm her and her model boyfriend’s careers if she did not comply.
English, also known as Omunique in the industry, alleges that she first encountered Diddy in 2004 when her boyfriend auditioned for a modeling job with Sean John, Diddy’s clothing line. She asserts that during the audition, Diddy requested her boyfriend and another model to engage in inappropriate acts to secure the position. When her boyfriend refused, he was still offered the job under the condition that English worked as a dancer at one of Diddy’s parties in the Hamptons.
She agreed, and at the Labor Day weekend party in 2004, she states that she was given alcohol mixed with drugs like ecstasy and encouraged to flirt with guests. Although she initially did not engage in any s3xual activities, English claims that Diddy progressively groomed her for s3x trafficking.
The lawsuit outlines an instance where Diddy supposedly instructed English to have s3x with the jeweler Jacob Arabov, also known as “Jacob the Jeweler” in the hip-hop world. Following this encounter, she alleges that she was given an extra $1,000 and praised by Diddy for compliance. Arabov is named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
English also states that she was pushed onto other individuals at Diddy’s events where she was reportedly s3xually assaulted multiple times. She is suing Tamiko Thomas, accusing her of aiding Diddy’s alleged s3x trafficking operations, drawing parallels between Thomas and Ghislaine Maxwell, and Diddy to Jeffrey Epstein.
The lawsuit claims that Diddy made promises to advance English’s career, including assisting her in joining a girl group. However, these promises were combined with threats of ruining her and her boyfriend’s reputations in the industry if they did not comply. English alleges that she eventually managed to leave and return to California in 2009, believing that Diddy had subsequently tarnished her and her boyfriend’s standing in retaliation.
English claims to have endured substantial emotional distress, leading to intimacy issues and distressing memories due to the purported s3x trafficking. She is suing Diddy, Bad Boy Entertainment, Tamiko Thomas, Jacob Arabov, and others, seeking unspecified damages.
In response to the lawsuit, Diddy’s lawyer, Jonathan Davis, stated, “Mr. Combs has never s3xually assaulted or s3x trafficked anyone, and despite numerous lawsuits, the truth will prevail through the legal system.” He expressed confidence that Diddy would overcome these and other unfounded allegations in court.
