Diddy sued by former porn star alleging sex trafficking at parties
Sean “Diddy” Combs was hit with yet another sex trafficking lawsuit Wednesday, this one from a former porn star.
Adria English, whose stage name was Omunique, claims Combs forced her to drink alcohol laced with narcotics and have sex with various people at his now-notorious parties, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
In the lawsuit, English reportedly says Combs threatened to blackball her and her boyfriend from Hollywood if they didn’t comply with his demands.
English says she was first paid to have sex with someone at a party hosted by Diddy in 2004, TMZ reports. After that encounter with Jacob Arabov (known in the hip-hop world as “Jacob the Jeweler”), English was “passed off” to other people at Combs’ parties who sexually assaulted her, alleges the suit.
When English finally escaped Combs’ circle in 2009, she says he made good on his threats to cut her and her boyfriend out the industry, the lawsuit claims.
The documents also name Tamiko Thomas, a woman English describes as the Ghislaine Maxwell to Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein, alleging she helped facilitate his sex trafficking, according to TMZ. Additional defendants include Arabov and Combs’ Bad Boy Records.
English is the ninth person to file a sex trafficking and/or sexual assault lawsuit against Combs, whose music and media empire has unraveled following a lawsuit from R&B singer Cassie Ventura in November.
In that suit, Ventura accused Combs of sexual and physical abuse during their yearslong relationship. The two parties settled the suit the following day, but in May, CNN published surveillance video of Combs viciously beating Ventura in a L.A. hotel in 2016.
What was seen in the footage closely resembled an incident described by Ventura in her lawsuit.
Authorities are currently investigating Combs as part of a federal sex trafficking probe, which was confirmed after Homeland Security raided his properties in Miami and Los Angeles in March.
Earlier on Wednesday, TMZ reported Combs is selling his L.A. mansion and has no plans to stay in the city.
