Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sued once again, facing accusations of s*x trafficking, sexual assault, and other related allegations.
Adria English, a former adult-film star, claims Diddy initially hired her as a “go-go dancer” for a party in 2004 and later rehired her for other events.
At these parties, English alleges her drinks were drugged, and she was coerced into having sex with guests, including celebrity jeweler Jacob “the Jeweler” Arabo.
The lawsuit names Arabo, several of Diddy’s enterprises, two media companies, a woman accused of facilitating the sex trafficking, and two unidentified individuals. Diddy has denied the allegations.
In her lawsuit, English contends that Diddy “groomed” her for sex trafficking as she attended more of his exclusive parties, especially after learning of her adult entertainment background. She asserts that refusal was not an option, as Diddy allegedly threatened to blacklist her and her boyfriend from the modeling industry.
The music magazine Vibe is also implicated in the lawsuit for allegedly providing resources for the parties, causing emotional distress connected to the alleged sex trafficking, and publicizing her likeness in an article about the events.
Jonathan Davis, Diddy’s attorney, stated to TMZ and the L.A. Times, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.
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.”
